MOE report
24 Hours of Aston Grand Prix
This round would prove to be a nightmare for both our classes, suffering numerous disconnects, wheel problems, and various other issues. The fact that the team managed to even finish the race was a testament to the character of the drivers.
All the drivers drove good stints, but the time lost with the technical issues would prove to be too much to get a decent result.
GT1 still managed to finish in 10th place, with the GT2 team finishing in 14th.
6 Hours of Aston Historic Reversed
SR were hoping for much better fortunes in this round, having a solid qualifying with both classes starting P2 on the grid. This is where we eventually ended the race, the best result we have achieved in MOE to date. With a bit more luck, we could have won both classes.
GT1 Report
GT1 started very well for us, with Rudy van Buren taking an early lead before a strange lag issue forced him into an early pitstop and driver change. Nick Catsburg then took over the car and on his debut drove a dream double stint to hand the car over to returning injured driver Christopher Felder in 2nd place, taking over numerous more experienced drivers in the process. Christopher then drove a consistent double stint to hand the car back to Rudy still in 2nd place but 41 seconds behind the lead.
Rudy van Buren, clearly wanting to atone for the issues that cost the team so much time in his first stint, drove an amazing double stint to nearly take the win. He was 41 seconds behind at the beginning of his stints, and closed the gap to 4 seconds, but he unfortunately had a spin in the last 2 laps, which caused a blowout in the penultimate lap. Rudy still finished only 32 seconds behind the winner F1RST racing, despite the blowout and extra pits. The pressure Rudy put on Andre Roque clearly had a massive effect, with Roque losing 2 seconds a lap in the final 10 minutes, and having a spin himself. It showed that without the lag issue at the beginning, that a win would have been easily within the GT1 teams grasp. Well done to everyone, SR are extremely proud of you!
GT2 Report
GT2 started off with Jason Lovett, who lost a place or two at the start of his stint, but then drove great times to make up the difference and close the gap on the leaders in his triple stint. Team Sirius, who were leading the race, had a nightmare end of stint, running out of fuel forcing them to Shift S, and losing almost 2 laps in the process.
Unfortunately, when Jason was pitting to hand the car over, he incurred a DT, although the replays showed this could have been harsh, and possibly a lag bug. He handed the car over to another SR debutant, Marcelo Neiva, who drove extremely well, but some miscommunication meant that he pitted a lap early, meaning he had to pit twice. This was not to stop the next driver Sebastian Hutchinson, who drove a great triple stint to make up for the lost time and bring the car home in 2nd place. Like the GT1 team, we again showed that with a bit of luck, we could have won the race. Well done guys, you did a great job!

Not sure if I said this before, but is there anyway to show the f10, f11 and f12 menus via outsim?
Something that could do this would be extremely useful, and if I understand correctly, then you could just use your app to display it? So what Scipy is saying, if I understand correctly, is to display information that actually matters, rather than something that doesn't

Damn we need to get those SR stickers to you quick 
Good Luck Chris

Hiya Victor, may I please have a section for the LFS Hotlap League please?
The link will be www.sonicrealmsracing.co.uk/hotlap
ATM the link will take you to last years league, but we will use the same link for this year.
Info can be found here - http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=65521
But I need this setup now so I can run the polls for the tracks

Congrats guys and good luck
Sounds good, £50 for 50 mins I would hope, if it is £50 for 25 mins then your nuts
How about ours?
Yeah, a bang to LFS
Good to see you guys expanding, just a shame it is not in LFS

Congrats Lee, now send that banner
Unlapping yourself when they don't know the rules is even scarier
Someone forgot to close the pits, costing all the early pitters their advantage
Reminder : If any team wants their team's website advertised on our homepage, pm me
Our site now rotates the Car renders on the top right. Just hit refresh to update the random car 
Hmm Z, we should start practising soon
You are wrong and also blind. I have been watching Smiley for a few weeks, and he certainly deserves his ban, so maybe you are the one who looks stupid, as anyone who frequents the IHR servers knows I am saying the truth, whilst you are either deluded or mad
Good point, but I think you and General AL can both agree, that good hotlappers are usually good racers...
The issue is, the term hotlappers is used to categorise a certain behaviour of driving which you have so eloquently pointed out, but all good hotlappers in my experience have loads of LFS racing experience and are probably the best and fairest drivers in LFS, so it doesn't fit the description that people label them with. Simply say, some people are fast but simply have no racecraft, or are flucking idiots, or cannot race for toffee, but to use the hotlapper term is just wrong... IMHO of course

You are perfectly correct, I didn't watch the replay, and also had no need to. He got banned for REPEATED abuses of the server rules... I know this from watching him arguing repeatedly over a few weeks :P
I am not perfect, and make plenty of mistakes which I almost always apologise for, but in the few times I mistakenly think the worse of someone, I take a look at the replay and apologise afterwards... That is the difference, mistakes are allowed, but bad manners can be only tolerated for so long before it is an issue to any decent server admin.
My comment, smiley is an abusive idiot who can't race...
You asked... you got
You asked... you got
Wrong, on so many levels....
And it is people like you that threads like these are made

Completely agree with mrodgers here and partly with Neil..
mrodgers point.... Completely correct, if anyone is 20 seconds a lap slower than everyone else, and the leaders are coming up on them, then yes, gtfo of the way please. If it is a different class, then of course the rules change, but again, the chances of you battling for a position is tiny, and the leaders are the leaders. There is such a small chance that the leaders of the XFG class are going to be lapped by the XFR class in a short race that it shouldn't be an issue...
Neils' point... If someone is on the lead lap with you and is 2 seconds a lap slower than your best ever time, tough... It is up to you to pass him, that is called racing You have 0 rights, and he should do everything in his power to block the racing line. This doesn't mean swerving over the road and making more than two distinct moves, but it is completely what racing is all about.. This is where skill and experience comes in, rather than hotlapping ability. You HAVE to out-think your opponent, not just out speed them

This is where skill and experience comes in, rather than hotlapping ability. You HAVE to out-think your opponent, not just out speed them That is not the best thing to do always. Example, you are being lapped and the leaders are coming up on you, the #1 gets past because it was on a straight but the #2 comes to you just before the corner. If you stay on the racing line, it is race over for him, but if you show a little thought, you could simple move off the racing line.
The main issue is that we are talking about sprint races here, and normal blue flag rules are not the same IMHO. With races of 10 minutes, 1 blueflagger getting in the way can completely ruin a race, when all it takes is a little consideration for the position of the guy coming up on you. Of course, there are plenty of fast drivers who can't drive for toffee, but in the same way, there are plenty of slower people who are just as bad...
