Hiya Victor.
Could you please remove the SR FOX league banner as this is now over and add :
SR Hotlap League
P.S. Why don't you try this yourself? You can do this whenever you have spare time and it is a chance to try every car in LFS

lol, perfect song eh
BTW el-pibe, it isn't just about if you are good enough, it is about getting experience in every lfs car in a competition that will hopefully help you get motivated. And the top 96 in every car score points, so i'm sure you can manage that.

Think you are fast? Prove it!
Think you are fast? We challenge you to prove it!
Fast in 1 car? That's OK, but do you want to know who is the quickest driver over all the LFS cars? Welcome to the SR Hotlap League 2009!
This league is designed to show who is the ultimate hotlapper. Each event will last 2 weeks, with a total of 8 events. The winners will be the drivers who are the quickest in each car, plus the quickest overall. There will be an individual Car Championship and also the Ultimate Hotlapper League. If you want to just use one car, you can. But to win the Ultimate Hotlapper, you will need to set times in as many cars as you can.
To enter the league, simply join our server named [SR] Hotlap League and set a time in any or all of the available cars. No signup and no schedule issues!
Click here to find out more
Sccc Atomant has kindly offered a Logitech Wireless FFB Controller for free to a lucky driver who takes part in our SR Hotlap League and does all the combos remaining. SR has agreed to pay the shipping, so it really will be free!
The prize will be decided by a random draw of all the racers that do every combo (excluding event 1 which has already taken place).
All you have to do is set a valid time on each combo. It doesn't matter if you are quick or not, just set a time that is good enough to get into the server stats (105% of WR IIRC) on all the remaining combos and you stand a chance of winning. SR & Sccc members are not eligible for this prize.
SR & Sccc want to encourage as many drivers in LFS as possible to try new combos that they have never driven before to help keep us occupied whilst we await the new patch. We hope you come and join in and good luck on winning the prize.
I will PM the winner when the league has finished, which happens to be a week before Christmas, so some lucky driver will have an extra present from Santa

I like the idea alot. I hated the fact that I was MUCH quicker than other racers who had higher licenses in CTRA but wasn't allowed to race the cars I liked because I wouldn't spend weeks/months driving the XFG/XRG. You would earn licenses by racing alot, not by being good.
The easiest way to admin this would be to check if someone had at least 1 time within 101% of any WR (except Oval).

Many many thanks for the update 
Congrats Oliver! Great to see someone so committed to LFS
These were Jason Lovett's and his Dad's tops

It will be the free version. It is up to you to pay for that if you want it, as the license is yours and only yours.
Someone left a jacket!!
Hiya all, someone left a grey jacket at the kart centre. I have picked it up and it is now at my house, so if you recognise it let me know and I will send it to you
I personally would much prefer an outdoor track in Scotland. We have done up north, the midlands and down south so I think it is time for scotland to have a go. Also I agree with Becky that on that massive indoor track the racing will be shite as you won't see much of the other karts hardly at all.
Hi Jason,
Following our conversation, please find below details of the private Grand Prix and Endurance events that we offer on our Main Arena. For your records I have also attached prices for the shared events we offer on our Main Arena and the private hire events we offer on our Standard Circuit.
Speedkarting Warrington specialises in race events for adults over the age of 18.
All race events must be booked in advance.
We apologise in advance for the volume of information: with 2 circuits to choose from, there really are lots of options for you to consider.
Please do not hesitate to contact our booking office for any further assistance (open Monday – Thursday 9am to 5.30pm and Friday 9am to 5pm on 01925-415114).
However we do hope the following will help as a starting point…
MAIN ARENA
The largest, longest running, purpose built indoor karting circuit in the UK. And as of September 2006 now the only 3 level indoor circuit, incorporating the longest Monaco-style tunnel, in the UK.
The Main Arena building is approximately 90,000 sq ft, the circuit itself being 1000m in length and approximately 9m in width. Please see our web site www.speedkarting.co.uk for a view of the Main Arena.
On this circuit we offer private events (Exclusive) 7 days / 7 nights per week, subject to availability and booking restrictions.
We can also accommodate shared events (Opens) on Saturday or Sunday afternoons or evenings; particularly in mind for groups below 20 / individuals.
Private hire options
1) Exclusive Grand Prix (Main Arena)
A Grand Prix is an individual driver competition where people compete over a number of heats / races to accumulate as many points as possible with their sights set on qualifying for the overall Grand Prix Final. This event is not a knock out competition; all drivers will receive 5 races each (subject to punctuality of arrival, standard of driving, etc.).
Each race will have 7 / 8 drivers participating with the Grand Prix Final having 8 / 10 drivers.
The event also includes tuition, practice, equipment hire, computerised timing, trophies for 1st, 2nd and 3rd and a bottle of ‘Chateau Mersey’ for the winner!
For many, many years the minimum weekday evening booking was an event lasting 3.5 hours costing £1800 inc. vat. This event is still available for larger groups of up to 40 drivers but due to demand we have recently introduced much smaller private hire events than ever before, reducing the private hire cost by up to 50% for parties of up to 20 drivers!!
Your private hire Grand Prix choices now being:
i)A Grand Prix lasting approximately 2 hours costing £900 inc. VAT; this GP allows you to bring up to 20 drivers
New for 2009: Additional drivers = we can now accommodate up to 4 additional drivers at £45 inc. vat each = maximum event of 24 drivers.
ii)A Grand Prix lasting approximately 2&3/4 hours costing £1350 inc. VAT; this GP allows you to bring up to 30 drivers
New for 2009: Additional drivers = we can now accommodate up to 2 additional drivers at £45 inc. vat each = maximum event of 32 drivers.
iii)A Grand Prix lasting approximately 3&1/2 hours costing £1800 inc. VAT; this GP allows you to bring up to 40 drivers
New for 2009: Additional drivers = above 40, each additional driver will be charged at £45 inc. vat. No maximum limit to additional drivers.
NB: we do however need exact numbers on booking to allocate the correct time for the completion of your event.
The circuit is available to book 7 days / 7 nights per week privately (subject to availability).
However to be able to accommodate these new smaller events on weekday evenings we do have certain start times at which we offer certain sizes of event: please contact our office for assistance (June ’09).
2) Exclusive Endurance (Main Arena)
A private hire team event; the team who complete the most laps around the circuit within the allocated racing time are the winners! This format is all about team tactics!!
The event includes tuition, practice, equipment hire, computerised timing, and trophies for all team members of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd placed teams with one bottle of ‘Chateau Mersey’ for the winning team!
The minimum option for an Endurance on this circuit is £1800 inc. VAT for 6 karts on the circuit with a 2-hour race plus practice and tuition. This event is for an unlimited number of drivers (within reason) and would last approx 3&1/2 hours in total.
You can increase the number of karts / teams for your event; if required this would be at a cost of £250.00 inc. VAT per kart / team.
Additional racing time is available if required; please contact our booking office for details.
We would accommodate an Endurance event 7 days / 7 nights per week = start times are flexible, subject to availability.

No way!!
I just want to help us get started is all

Just spoke to the Manchester Centre, they are very accomodating. They are willing to tailor make an event for us, but the gold package sounds pretty good. It is £1950 for a 3 1/4 hour event for 30 drivers. Included in the price is coffee, tea and biscuits on arrival, BBQ and MOET champagne for the winners. This works out at £65 each, which isn't bad at all. The centre are sending me details via email and a brochure.
We need to get this kind of information for each of the centres we are considering, so if anyone wants to speak to the kart centres in scotland that sound good aswell, then we could run a poll maybe when we have the options.

I agree, if we were to do an indoor track, that one does look alot better than all the others I have seen. Also, looking at the prices, it could be quite cheap?
Well I wouldn't want to travel all that way to do that circuit if I was being honest, which I am
Got any links Ray? Worthwhile looking into
Well we did around 1.5 to 2 hours karting each on Saturday, and I think I can safely speak for everyone and say that was enough. Any more and I wouldn't have enjoyed it at all, but saying that, the last races were by far the best, as we all knew the tracks so well by then. I did the very last stint, I had to hold off 4 faster karts for at least 20 minutes, but it was an awesome race (cheers pswillies, krslim, tongey and boothy)
Usually it is a fixed price, and we all want the same amount of track time for our money, being a scot you should understand that
So a knockout comp wouldn't be the best IMHO 
Don't worry Chris, when you have 30+ people travelling from around the world relying on you, including lots of moderators and developers, and the leaders of your team, knowing we know where you live, you suddenly find you HAVE to sort it all out
We normally have it around July/August, to avoid the shitty weather in this god forsaken country
We then run a poll of available dates to fix the exact weekend.TBH we were amazingly lucky, it has rained in Wales every day leading up to and after the karting. Last Saturday was the only nice day we have had.... AWESEOME!!
Well to be fair, Boothy (may aswell be SR) and CSF (SR) were discussing organising it in Scotland, that is why the convo started over there :P
