I'd like to file a protest against car 05 in the Feature race for unsafe track re-entry.

At timecode 6:22 car 05 was sitting at the hairpin and started to reverse into the track the moment I began to turn into the corner. I saw it just in time to make a little detour around him but he still hit me.

While nothing bad happened I don't know if it would've come out the same if I had kept my line. Also seeing that he continued to reverse even after the hit makes me believe he either a) did not see me or b) did not care.

Was a pretty lonely race for me with people flying off left and right. I might also have a little protest going against someone but I have to see the replay first.

Looks like our skin is finished I also attached a view from the LFS Viewer.

Edit: Had to update the skin. There was a problem with Edna's foot.

Quote from dekojester :

Don'tcha mean alc in the blood ?

Usually - yes. But when it becomes nasty then the levels may change a fair bit

Haha I'll give it a shot tomorrow (tonight is the first christmas dinner which possibly leads to high levels of blood in the alcohol).

My guess is that everyone is running on a different track Is it possible to upload the most up-to-date version of the layout somewhere?

Got down to 38.63 so far

Is anyone willing to share some setups? :b

(No really - I mean it).

I enjoyed it a lot even though with a combination of weird setup and horrible driving I ended up competing against myself (for some reason I managed to get a lot faster split 1 times but then lost it all in split 2 compared to my PB).

Thanks again for organizing it - was great fun.

Quote from Timdpr :

****.

Could pretty easily have been 4th, then I chucked it away under the ****ing saftey car.

The same thing happened to me one lap later (I clipped the grass and lost a possible 5th position - got 8th).
And I must say you are pretty good at defending your position. I didn't really find an way to get past you the second time.

Quote from J@tko :

/facepalm

So whats your team tag going to be???

[AGADTUD] GreyBull?

lol

Yes - that's what the tag will be. The idea is, like in the good ol' days, to have silly names but to be extremely competitive Just wait until you see the skin

Welcome all, hope you get some better luck in this race hypothraxer

Thanks!

I found the second driver

Team Name: Adventure games aren't dead. They're undead.
LFS Usernames: GreyBull [CHA], Hypothraxer

I'd really like to join this - if someone else wants to team up with me it would be nice

Quote from Timdpr :

Anyone care to share their setups? I've just modified the final drive ratio from my round 2 set, so it aint great!

I'd be interested in those setups as well Additionally in the split times you guys achieve. Here are mine:

0:31.970 - 1:11.510 - 1:32.430

1:32.43 is my best so far.

Quote from de Souza :

Hey, don't forget the tyres this time.

The pitstop is not mandatory so a 18 seconds pitstop should not happen

I'd be interested as well - in the RB4.

Best possible lap: 43.95 :jawdrop:

Should've practiced more and gotten rid of the fewer :/

Quote from Timdpr :

Not great races for me! Failed badly in quali, got 5th I think in the sprint, and a kinda non-deseved 3rd in the feature! I didn't realise I was having a nice fight with you, Hypothraxer, I just thought I was defending rather scrappily from a much faster car! I was going to give that place back, after my spin, but I thought I saw your wheel at a funny angle. I've got some kinda flu, so I got pretty hot as well!

From my point of view the start was pretty awesome. I thought I had already overtaken you but you managed to get that position back. And your defending was pretty solid as well. So as far as I see it: Nice fighting

I messed the sprint race up by not reading the rules too well (blame it on the fever). Due to the bad condition of the car I decided to retire from the race rather than repair it

In the feature race I had a nice fight with Tim. After his small mistake I lost the concentration (also due to the fever) so I guess I'm glad I finished :b

Quote from evilpimp :

Any chance of you sharing those awesome setups? :P

So far my best has been 44.64 . . .

Aye - I'd like to test those setups as well. My best is 45.80 (although I could not really practice very much because I'm sick atm).

Quote from J@tko :

• That's what a stop-go is. Really it should be called a Stopfor10seconds-and-go
  
• LOL
  

For the Taha-incident I received a stop-and-go (without 10 seconds) . And I also remotely remember that a drive-through is issued first before giving a stop-and-go. But maybe I'm too tired

Small correction:

The software did register my pitstop. But I had 90 km/h when I entered the pitlane instead of 80 - giving me an additional stop-and-go penalty.

So all in all I did four pit stops:

- The first one was planned
- The second one was for the incident with Taha
- The third one was for speeding in the pitlane (10 seconds stop-and-go - can anyone explain to me why 10 seconds?)
- The fourth one was to repair the car.

I spent more time in the pitlane than outside

Quote from racer hero :

Just did a 44.67. Unofficial track record.

Can you post your split times? I seem to be unable to get below 45.80 (with a race setup).

I thought I'd start one since the next race is this Saturday

I was able to do a low 47 lap so far. The biggest issue for me seems to be the hairpin - and the #@# walls
