It depends on setup & driver if you can jump through T1, it's though and with wrong set nearly impossible, my problem is I lock the tires on brakes sometimes :/ shitte keyboard, I wan't ABS
Still was able to do 2 nice laps in qualification, my first in GTAL and hopefully the last I would have to drive 30min race pace and than start the qualification so the tires are in better shape and I know the track better.
This jump in and push hard ain't for me as the tires goes to hell.

Yeah this way you can beat some team 6/7 races, but if the other team get lucky and beat you in last race with position better than you ever did in previous 6 races, end up with same total points at the end, they get the better position in final because of that good last race position, even though the first team got them 6 times in previous races they lose.
I know about this rule, but wasn't sure you use it, as it sometimes gets this ugly. But definitely easy to sort and probably a common rule

Little question, how do you order teams with the same total points?

:doh: I had to forget something surely

Did you remove the pole-position +2 points awards from Round 1 and 2, by accident?
I'm did my own provisional table yesterday, had to correct it today after penalties. And I noticed that those points are missing IMHO.
It is correct on Round 1 and 2 results, but disappeared on Round 3 results.

Here's mine result table, I got the poles highlighted:
GTAL_Results.htm

Or we have to beat 00 Adenoids Racing to get the +2 points for pole?
That's how it looks like now

Quote from theodinho29 :

We are very lucky sometimes.. Little pictures

Nice, I think it could be an 1 hour movie from the stunts made in Round 3

Koa128: well this race we had complete team on TS and checking positions blue flags reporting to the driver with who are we competing with ,who's lap behind, who's coming up through the field, etc.

suzuki94: I didn't know anybody did that in race I must say I've never seen a more clear one probably, what a show. What time is it in replay?

Quote from MonkeyHead :

I also want to apogolize for mpwr team #25 because I made you spin in end of race. I maybe surprised a little about your braking style there but yes it was my fault and I didin't mean to ruin your race.

Yeah I was a very small bit slower than I would be in a fast lap, I just wanted to be safe, which turned upside down. I'm using mouse+keyb so it ain't that easy to slowdown/accelerate. But my brakes are usually weaker than on setups for pedals.

hyntty (PM doesn't work):
Sorry for the stupid comments, I just couldn't help myself after seeing the stint again.
Thx for closing it.
I can't remove the comments to leave just the pics or some of the pics.
You can do so if you like, coz I can't while it's closed.
Or feel free to delete the thread

I'm sorry if this upset people or gave you more work that was not intentional.

Jack

That's better, it's just that it takes a long time to scroll and the filesizes are big

Yeah made it smaller now it's only 3MB progressive JPG now, I do understand that loading the pictures might take some time, I'm 100mb/s connected to the server with pictures theoretically so I asked on IRC

Quote from boothy :

For god sake don't post massive pictures in this thread!!!

I made them smaller now, what's wrong with pictures?

Quote from bavorak :

...I am not completely against SC but please dont use it 5 times during one stint...

I had 6x SC in the last stint of race, I guess that I've been able to do max 6 proper race laps out of the 20, well proper... it was just fighting for position and moose testing

Quote from bavorak :

Session of Incident: race
Lap of incident: 126
Timecode of incident: 5:29:00 (time elapsed from start of the race)
Our car Number: 25
Other Car(s) Involved: 21
Brief description of incident:
driver of the car 25 (J.Cerny) was braking into turn right after 2nd split (T14) when Falck (who was 1 lap behind us) hit his rear end of the car and caused our car (#25) to spin
We have lost a lot of positions by this incident as it was right after restart of the race.

Lap of incident: 127 for car 25, 126 for car 21)
Timecode of incident: starts at 5:29:00, ends around 5:29:25
There has been collisions of other cars with 21 afterwards.

Driving:
Calm down when on track, I know it looks like 1 lap sprint race even if it's 6 hour race but... be careful, I don't care if you drive aggressively for the best time (pushing the limit/car) but don't drive aggressively against other cars!
This is not a sprint race on a public demo server as it sometimes looked like that yesterday.

You gotta know when you can or can't overtake, I'm sick of having to move away and let you pass in a no pass possible situations just not to get wrecked by your pedal to the metal I'm not gonna move away an inch behavior, we're going 3 wide in to a high speed chicane and play a Russian roulette, the one with most luck will survive and for the other 2 it's race over.
I would like you to imagine the pain or loss it would have been in real life when you do such a stupid move, 33% overtook but got banned for life from racing coz the other 2 got injured/killed, 33% car wrecked + lot of pain + months in hospital, 34% dead coz you hitted a wall in 160km/h (the car might survive that but your internal organs won't).

SC:
I think using so much SCs was not necessary, as when somebody is on the roof and is not on the track, it's race over for him (spectate) as in real life the track personnel would remove the car and there would be only yellow flag in the area.

SC IMHO should be used only when there is more cars involved, wrecks on track, and the section when there is something on track is too dangerous to use only yellow flag.

Also when somebody damages their car so much that it can't steer and get to pits by itself it's IMHO race over for them, why to call SC and push them to pits? The car has so much damage that it's not drivable in real life (LFS also) and has to retire from race, sorry but that's how it goes.

I think it's fine to give a push to a car when it gets stuck in sand etc. as the car is undamaged and can continue without help around track.

If you need help to get around track, then it's race over for you IMHO. (Well you'll loose so much time that you can't get a good position anyway.)

Quote from Grigorov :

Or those who was unable to drive normal from teams like your!? BOW

hey, I'm not going to read this **** talk, go to IRC this is not a chat but forum

Session of Incident: Race
Lap of incident: probably 66 [Turn 9, 9a]
Timecode of incident: LFS Remote: around 2h 54min
Your car Number: 25
Other Car(s) Involved: 09
Brief description of incident:
Car 09 Todorovic fights for position while under blue flag not letting 25 pass, 09 making contact with 25, getting 25 into spin and out of track while 09 is continuing race.

Can somebody teach me how to do a proper start? I know it's faster to floor the gas and use brake to slow down to the correct speed, but using clutch shouldn't be so much slower? I just can't start properly, there is this mix of green and yellow flag and it takes time to see the green flag, then I just release clutch but others are already flying away
I never know when to start, the green flag is terribly visible at least for me. Standing starts are much easier, even F1 has them
No boring double file. And it's really nice to see the car in front braking when it's not actually slowing down... just killing the engine power.

It depends, but here he has enough overlap, the problem might be that he's in a blind spot, so you have to hear him where he is, I'm just wondering how he could turn in so easily, you should have fly through that corner, just leave him a bit of space so he has place where to slow down in order to be able to turn.

see csf's image #1

The rules, it's the same Rule as in CRC, so it ain't anything new... just plain old overtaking rule.
Don't be so aggressive this is not a sprint race...
I don't care if somebody faster passes me, at least I won't lose so much time when blocking him which increases the risk of collision & mistakes.

if anyone want's to see a nice overtaking see 14th lap, after 2nd split, time in replay ~23:30, look at the 2 fighting FZ9s

well they wanted to slow down FZ and have faster FX there you have it...
---
Race...
start one big mess, luckily stayed out of trouble, during race some drivers just like to hit the chicane tires so I got one in my ideal line, boom dead front collision --> out of track

also some eager cars around fighting so hard so they screw up both... luckily passed between those 2 FZ9s, can't wait to see it on replay or stream

pitstop... one big sh*t hole, going to park on one spot, but the driver on the left just decides he's gone exit before I park, ... my new paint on my doors... then bavorak gets disconnected due to some other **** LFS stuff, so I had to wait before one of the last spots if he can reconnect or what's going to be next, waiting somebody just decides he's gonna reverse 2 places back coz he missed all pit places... taking my place... so I had to change view see if somebody is behind me on the spot and reverse on it... just magnificent, then change with other driver from the team who's got on the server ... at least 1 min lost by those pit problems... according to tracker times, I can't say I like the server... lags before every start, sometimes during race and connecting when changing drivers is a nightmare, and we have only one lap to do it... not enough time with that server I can say, server full, server disconnect, some JOOS stuff just nice wouldn't be fun without it

Alright so you just want to make sure that there is enough space between rows, and the rows are +- at the same level.

Quote from dekojester :

Update to the rules : 15-November-2010

ADD: III.3.a) No Driver may be on more than one team roster at any one time. No Driver may race for more than two teams during a season. A Driver may make only two moves between teams during a season: From the original team, to a second team, then back to the original team. Exceptions may be made in the case of team break-ups or mergers.


CHANGE (In blue): VIII.1.b) The race will be started with a rolling start behind the Safety Car. Drivers are to remain in grid order for one lap, single file, until the last turn or other point, at which time the field must form into double-file. Row-mates should be generally even with each other, remaining at least with 25% overlap. Rows should be spaced between 3 and 5 car lengths apart. The leader and all other cars after forming into double file must maintain approximately pit lane speed (10 kph variance permitted) until the green flag is shown, at which point all cars are free to overtake.

Please also see updates to the ... porting Code on this date

Do I get it right that the double file should look like this then?

I would say: long surname = don't use that much colors
There is 23 characters, if you use 3 for number and space you have 20 chars to your own use, 3 for Name with dot and space, 17 for surname That would be hell of a long surname with over 17 chars.

Quote from PMD9409 :

As Marius showed you, I said I'll try to do them every Thursday before the race. So the next one would be on the 18th.

Also, was 19:00 UTC okay with everyone last time? We had a full grid, so I know there's people home at that time, but since the time change I want to make sure everyone is still okay.

I can't every Thursday and Sunday from 18.00 UTC. Sooner or different day for me is OK.
