Troy, when will the replays from last week's event be uploaded?

Quote from sgt-KiLL :

4 sixpacks and £2 change

Wtf do you drink? :P

I just finished 4 years at UEA. Which accomodation are you staying in?! I'm pretty sure I only paid ~£60/w for en suite in the University Village in 2005.

Anyway, you should definitely make an effort to get to know the people in your house and spend plenty of time with them. In my experience, the friends you meet at uni are closer than any others as you spend such a great deal of time with them. And don't worry if they're a bit different to you - I think you'll get molded more as a person in your time at uni than you have in the previous 18 years of your life!

Edit: And what are you studying? Computing Science?

It certainly would be incredibly disappointing if only one track had been developed between 2005 and 2010, but I really can't believe that that could be possible. We just have to hope that Scawen is only telling us about the stuff that he has to tell is about, and we've several surprises coming to us with the initial S3 release .

Quote from Victor :

This is a message for those of you who collect racer's countries via the pubstats.

I have updated the country listing that our websites use to be more like the ISO 3166-1 one. More like and not exactly because we don't use only capitals. And there are some added names in our list (england, scotland, etc and kosovo).

But this means that some stored country names have changes as of now. For example 'Slovak Republic' is now 'Slovakia' and 'Russia' is now 'Russian Federation'.
If you store countries, you may have to check their names against the iso list and update them accordingly. Or if for example you display flags you may have to rename some flag files. Most names will have stayed the same though. It's mostly the more exotic names that are slightly different.

I'll attach a php file with the exact array that we use (and a small array with some additional names, not in the ISO list), if that will help a bit.

Thanks for the update Victor.

Is there any reason why some countries, e.g. COCOS (KEELING) ISLAND, SAINT BARTHÉLEMY have been ignored?

Edit: Also, would it be possible for you to generate empty .txt highlight files for countries which don't yet have any highlights? It would simplify and improve the effectiveness of my code a great deal. Currently, 404'ing on any non-existant highlight files causes quite large delays in my script due to the timeout period.

It obviously depends on the car and track, but I'd guess that you'd be losing at least 0.5-1 seconds on that combo with autogears.

Autogears will, in general, cost you a significant amount of time in comparison to manual.

Quote from dekojester :

I was going to PM you all the timetable information last night before I went to bed, but it bounced because you exceeded your quota.

Yeah, I saw that - I've deleted some PMs now.

Quote from TFalke55 :

ups... first league for me which has got a timechange

We will follow the change to Standart time. I just forgot to point it out. It's a simple reason: Our working or schooling times do also change. I think the same counts for the north american competitors who have their switch on another date.

So starttimes will change to
1840UTC Start of the Official Free Practice Session (15min)
1900UTC Arrival deadline, Start of the Qualifying Procedure (2x 7min + Superpole)
1930UTC Start of the formation Lap
2035UTC Post-Race Interviews
for Round 3 onwards...
and thank you for putting LFSCART Light onto spdoDB... thank you a big time

http://www.spdoracing.com/eventdb/competition/374

I've assumed that the qualifying session works the same way as in LFSCART. I.e. 2 qualifying sessions are only used if there are enough people. If you PM me to let me know the number of groups for qualifying when you know for each event then I'll add them, as I don't really want to be having to remove them afterwards as I did with LFSCART. (It's easier to add more than it is to remove them.)

Let me know if there are any mistakes!

I'm about to add this to our database, but I just want to check one thing first. Rounds 1 and 2 fall inside European daylight saving time but Rounds 3 to 7 don't. Is it correct that you won't account for that change within your schedule? I.e., according to your schedule Rounds 1 and 2 will start at 1940 German local time and Rounds 3-7 will start at 1840 German local time.

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

That's when no tag was specificated during the creation of the team

Actually, it happens when someone is in two or more teams on LFS World and they're then removed from one of them. The driver/team associations still exist on LFS World but that driver's team tag is cleared.

Edit: thanks for the link though .

Congrats. Now, ffs, someone update the CoRe LFSWorld entry :P.

Aren't you all being a little harsh/insensitive?

Just fyi guys, less than 5 people in your class in a given session means that the results won't count towards your stats, sorry Tomhah :P.

Mitz and Pearcy are always bugging me to do this so I've made this thread just to shut them up.

Re. my crash at high speed... I hit the 'Print Screen' button instead of F9. I did this a few times in my stint and unfortunately it results in a 2-3s lag. All but 1 time I got away with it!

Edit: Sorry to the two backmarkers that I spun. I haven't raced much in the last 2-3 years and I guess I'm quite rusty now. Sorry again, both incidents were entirely my fault.

00 spdoRacing - with hood plate :P.

Oh, I just used the template from this thread. I have to put the number plate on the hood too?

00 spdoRacing

Quote from hrtburnout :

That's a shame. But if you really can't be there, you can't be there So I'll remove you from the list.

Thanks for your understanding .

I hope it'll be a good day for those of you who are going!

I'm sorry to say that I won't be able to make it on Saturday. It had slipped my mind until now that my current housing lease runs out at the end of June. I'll have to be here in order to move my stuff out and clean the house.

MarcG also won't be coming, as he can't really afford it and was mainly coming so that I could get a lift.

I'm very sorry to do this - I did plan to come (I actually bought plane tickets already), but it's just not practical for me anymore.

-1

I've just booked plane tickets to Germany and I'll be arriving in Berghem by car with MarcG. I'll have about 4 days in Europe so I'm just wondering if any people are considering staying for a few days? E.g. staying in a B&B Friday - Sunday and drinking/doing some tourist stuff.

Edit: you can confirm me and Marc for the karting btw.

Edit 2: or we could all save some money and camp in someone's garden? :P
