There's actually tons of interesting moments in those 7 races (the legendary crash in Race 1 in R4 for example ). As soon as I get my hands on an Core i7 and a cheap x58 mainboard I'll probably complete it. But it might be late December when I get that :/
I made a BC trailer/teaser thingy. I actually wanted to include more footage but my poor old Athlon 3700+ struggles recording LFS at 30 FPS (you'll probably see some scenes already that are on the brink of stuttering). The rendering & encoding is also a pain so that's all for the moment:
- For worst fail I'd actually put in Joe again. Not only did he manage to miss the second SC phase in Round 2 but he also managed to crash Darryn in FP in Round 3
But since he already got that one last season I'd go for Stefan Alfons
- Most improved: I'd go for Michael Klenke or Mike Bingo. They both improved pretty well in my opinion.
- Best Driver: Darryn - who else?
- Most friendly: Tough decision because all people were friendly in this competition. I'd probably go with Joe Keaveney (for not being too harsh with me for that incident in R4 ).
I could only check right now - and just to be sure:
We had to apply the rev-limiter at the hairpin and release it once the green flag was shown - is this correct?
In that case I don't understand why I received a 30 second penalty. I applied it before the hairpin and released it once the green flag was shown (as can be seen in the attached screenshot). Am I missing something?
From my point of view the Beginner's Cup was well organized and extremely enjoyable.
So I guess these few points I list can be seen as 'nitpicks':
- Less bumps from the SC after Qualifying sessions would be nice
- While the track selection was very nice we had Aston a little often on the programme. Maybe Round 4 could've been done at Westhill?
- The car selection was also very good apart from the Mini-FBM which was a bit slow and thus made Round 5 look a bit like Round 2. A less restricted car would've been better I guess.
It was entirely my fault. I thought you were far away enough to let me get onto the grass but then I realized you were closing in so I did not apply full throttle - and afterwards it was too late.
So - sorry again for my mistake - it was entirely my fault.
Again - my fault I thought we were supposed to run on the rev limiter until the green flag was shown but apparently we did not (or at least Ken wasn't because I almost passed him) and because of this I forgot I was in 3rd gear.
So yet again: Sorry for that mistake as well.
Everything that could go wrong did go wrong I guess
@Darryn: As I said - don't worry. Stuff like this happens. I did an even bigger mistake by rejoining so badly so I don't feel very well either.
Edit: And of course a big big Thank You to Deko, Jack, Joseph, Timo and Falke for organizing the events. I enjoyed it very much and all of your decisions were always spot on (yes - even the last one where I was in doubt. I guess I was still confused from the bump).
I got hit by Darryn's screensaver - then misjudged distance to Taha and shot him off. At this point the concentration was gone causing me to hit the tyre stack and damage the car. Then I received a stop-and-go for hitting Taha, additionally another stop-and-go for speeding in the pit lane (why it wasn't just a drive-through is a mistery to me). So I had to do 2 full laps with a totally damaged car and was pretty much off.
In any case - congratulations Yann for the championship and of course also congratulations for all the others who finished.
And last but not least: Congratulations Darryn for being (at least for me) the best driver in this championship. Don't worry about the bump - bad luck happens (usually to me ).
When can the other cars start to overtake? When the green flag is shown or only until green flag is shown AND after you've crossed the start/finish line?
Maybe we could do a practice start in the Free Practice Session?
