Points will be counted for the teams. If you for example has 3 cars from one team and all three cars get for example 12 points all together, we will find the average number by dividing with 3 = 4. Read more in the attached file beneath.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

What you're advocating is that the league cater to the lowest common denominator--drivers who are incapable of understanding the rules and/or following them. I think this is a bad tactic for a league that wants to present itself professionally.

Perhaps a stiff penalty is in order for those who fail to slow down for the SC and cause accidents?

I agree with you, though, that we should finish out this season with roughly the same format it started with (tweaked between rounds for improvement). If by the end of season 1 we don't have a handle on the problems at hand, we can consider alternatives.

Of course it should be penalized to drive up in the back of the SC field and hitting the cars there!..as it is penalized to do so in all kind of races.

Quote from Richard Torp :

Why talking about cheating? I dont think that ANYBODY will cheat, and if they want to cheat there are always a chance to do it no matter how many rules you have.

If a car was 2 sec slower than others to restart the race..why should that be a cheater?? Maybe he is just slower to react that some of the others, but its part of real racing too. I seen it in F1 and other series... So stop talking about cheating all the time please..

You definitely misunderstand. The "cheater" is not the one, who is sleeper! The "cheater" ..(don´t take the word to seriously) could be the impatient driver, who can´t wait 2 seconds to overtake a slow reaction driver, as you said.

Quote from r4ptor :

I don't agree with passing when its clear.. because when exactly is it clear? Your view on the subject is possibly different than mine... it's too subjective this way.

Yes, it´s subjective, as many other choices in racing are so ...but rules could help to make it difficult to cheat with those things. Remember we already have penalties for passing before it´s allowed.

Quote from srdsprinter :

In racing on a start/restart, if the top two cars are 10 seconds ahead at the start, the green flag would be waved off and they'd try again.

Also once the green is out, if someone is not getting up to race pace for mechanical or other reasons, people have the right to pass them before the start/finish.

Agree on that, but maybe say, there has to go f.ex 2 seconds before you are allowed to start passing a car which is not following the other cars. Because it has to be clear that it´s about a sleeping driver or someone with mechanical problem...maybe pitlimiter button, which is not working or a mild/hard crash with wall or spin or going into the grass.
If you cheat with this you can be given a penalty.

4.2) Drivers must not overtake any cars before passing the start/finish line. However, it is allowed for a driver to draw up alongside another. Overtaking before crossing the line will result in a drive-through penalty (hereafter DT) if caught by the marshals, or a one (1) lap penalty in the final standings if protested after the race.

I assume that´s correct, what´s being said here, that it´s not the pole car, who should pass the line first, but your own car.

I just think there should be done something about the sleeping drivers and drivers who slows down dramatically or has an accident before the start finish/line. Then you are stuck behing this car or could accidently pass the car.

In three of the races so far, we have been experiencing this and it gave us a great disadvantage from the start. F.ex. see in this race DBA Allan Didriksen totally sleeping in front of us (unity) and a very big gap was created to the first part of the field.

It should be allowed to pass in those cases as long as it´s very clear....or the old rule should be the valid again, that it´s the pole position car, who should pass before the others cars could pass each other.

If a team has two cars, they could also misuse this rule to give their primary car an advantage, if their secondary car helped slow down their rivals.

It´s good that Benji explain afterwards, why the SC is apployed. It helped understand the reason. When you´re just in the midle of racing and you don´t see any worrying things going on, it´s difficult to understand. So thank you for the clarification.

Sc is sometimes good and sometimes bad for one. We had both a situation with SC, where we had just pitted, so we lost on that, and we also had a good situation, where we could take advantage of the SC period. It´s the same thing for all other cars. You have to deal with it and if you can, take advantage of it.

What makes it a bit special here in LFS, is that we don´t have all the debries and cars who can´t run in the middle of the track...and medical care etc. I hope it will come soon from the developers side, so endurance will be much better and realistic in the future. This features will for sure make the SC totally no doubted.

there´s a team right now having two drivers to qualify. is this allowed?

Help please. what program do you use to follow the race now? spectator doesn´t show the server or do I have to upgrade?

I can´t find where it´s written when the qualify starts. Is it written anywhere?..and when is it? In UGT time please..or CET

This is the Unity skin for FXR

Quote from mcgas001 :

Sure! and congratulations with your coming license!

Unity-racing.com is changing to FXR

Unity-racing.com is racing.

Driver stup for this round is:

Kenn Cramer (humbleridderen)
jess Andreasen (azlan608)
Jan Nymann (jan nymann andersen)

Quote from srdsprinter :

Any chance we could put some thought into how to get the start a little closer. Its been pretty spread out the past couple races.

To me, the missing part is the damage thing.

Le Mans is about endurance. But the game doesn´t think too much of engine problems and other sudden problems. I really would like just a litlle more of this. It would make endurance to be much more realistic.

It´s still only focused on the drivers speed and drivers "endurance"...not the cars..except tyres.

Quote from BenjiMC :

It is a good idea but a tad rude, i mean it's almost like me going to LOTF and saying any racers here wanna drive for cP? maybe by PM rather than an all out new thread lol

Also i deliberatly chose monthly for that reason that stu said, not everyone has the time to do a fornightly league including myself and this schedule is very much like MoE and they get no problems . I am going to go ahead with the removing of teams that dont tell me they aren't attending and putting in the teams that want to attend.

good! make it simple. The best idea is mostly the first!

Quote from BenjiMC :

Make any suggestions on how we could improve the championship here,

For now it's a matter of getting people to show up. I'm thinking say 2 un excused absences means dropping points, and a third means out of the championship completly. imo thats pretty fair. What do you guys think about it, or do you have better suggestions?

I support this idea too. Teams has to report absence. It´s lack of discipline not to...and their spot can be filled by another car or from an already participating teams other car.

It is normal for any league, that there will be some team exchange.

Quote from KSheppard :

I've found it's more to do with the scheduling, the more often the races are the more ppl "pay attention"...I find the weekly or biweekly series seem to be better attended than the monthly ones (I think these days too many people have too short attention spans )

Don't get me wrong though I like monthly events but with my personal schedule these days even a monthly one for me is hard to attend

I also think this will help. For example every 14 day. Not every week, because then it will be impossible to participate in other series too.

I join
