Quote from vicbel :Ok, I'd like to apply for the LeMans closed series.

Acceptance for the closed league will mean you may drive in the Formula League too

Quote from Mp3 Astra :I had this issue recently when I was trying to compress stuff in Movie Maker. I couldn't find a certain solution - but I recommend trying lots of different export options until it works.

I tried all of them, but none worked . Maybe a systemrecovery will help? Because before all was just fine...

Hey guys,
I've made a simple movie about a league I'm participating in. But when I publish it in MovieMaker, the lower half of the image gets green. Does anyone know why this happens? It happens only after publishing. When playing it in MovieMaker it is allright. It is my 3th video, the first 2 were just fine.

Hmmm, there are easier ways to get a S2 Voucher!

I just saw the whole replay of the race. I think Amen1 had the race of his life! Battling for many laps with Sidewinder1009 with multiple overtaking. And in the last 5 laps or so you had to give everything to stay in front of Miro-fin-. Excellent driving!

Oh crap, that really sucks! But hey, I can only blame myself. Although I don't think a drive-through or even a 10 second stop-and-go penalty would cost 30 seconds... But this is the way it is.

So, gratulations to JCY. Have fun with S2!

And I also want to thank Gekkibi for this great competition . It was really professional! I mean, with all the P-Q's and the realistic conditions (wind, flags, safetycar, marshalls, penalties ). So I'll will gladly join a possible new competition of yours!

Quote from Miro -fin- :Yep. There were strict rules and that situation was easy to judge, but mazdarati did not have penalty at that moment.

IMO, he should have been given a stop and go penalty but he didnt got one and that is not his fault and he should not be punished after race.

I know about the rules, Gekkibi explained them very clear right for the race. That's why I was really expecting a penalty, but was kind of surprised I didn't get one. I'm still not confident about it...

And congratulations to Zany indeed. From almost giving up LFS to getting a S2 account!

Edit: I just saw Kimi Raikkonen didn't get a penalty either for exactly the same accident

Quote from Gekkibi :I will wait the answers from more experienced drivers this night. I will give the voucher tomorrow after this has been decided (Aproximately 12 hours).

Allright then, I wait untill tomorrow and see what the judges decided. For now, I go :sleep2:

Quote from xt :im not an expert, but it looks like unexpected early braking was simply underestimated. would be fair to listen winner opinion about that accident.

That's what I thougt at the moment the incident happenened: early braking. But when I watch the replay I don't think Boxer really braked early. I didn't know if Zany was still beside me so I didn't want to get beside Boxer...

@ Superobo: I know I was wrong with the crash, I apologized for it. But the pitlane was not closed! So I just took the chance. As mentioned earlier in this thread, the closed pitlane conditions were abandoned.

@ Sidewinder1009: about the touching: I had inner line and as you can see in the 'Bird-View' you had plenty of space to avoid the contact.

I want to make my sincere apologies to Boxerrumble. I know it was my fault in first lap. I hitted him. It was a really tricky situation with 3 cars beside each other on the first straight!

In the race I was thinking I should maximize the gap to nr. 2, because of a possible time-penalty after the race.

Gekkibi, you should give me a penalty. Just not more than 20 seconds please

Well not really

I mean when there is a safetycar and he lets the field go (safetycar enters the pits), so there is a green flag. What if I'm in 2nd position? Can I overtake the leader before the start/finish line? Or is overtaking only allowed after the line?

Hope you get my question, don't know how to explain it in another way.

Btw, is the server only now? Because I don't see it

Gekkibi, I have a question. Don't know if this came up earlier. When there is a safetycar situation, and the safetycar comes in, may we overtake immediatly? Or is the leader the one that sets the pace then till the start/finish line?

Quote from Gekkibi :It would be a good idea. After the competitors have been selected, I will make a poll. The problem is that we have both americans and australians in the competition. Either americans have to wake up early or australians have to drink alot of coffee. But the majority decides when the race is help (From 9UTC-15UTC).

Hey Gekkibi, you're still planning to make this poll? I would like to have the race at 14 or 15 UTC, because of the Monaco Grand Prix at 12. And I'm sure the Americans amongst us would like to have the race a bit later too

Quote from Gekkibi :The pit-enterance is so far away that the "pit closed" could come when he is about to enter the pits. He couldn't do anything about that.

Will a driver be penalized automatic for entering a closed pitlane? Then getting rid of closed pit makes sense. But if the marshalls will penalize you they can see you couldn't do anything about it and they should not give a penalty.

Quote from Gekkibi :
I'm going to host a special race on 25.5.2008 (12:00 UTC.

I've noticed that this is the day that the Monaco GP is held, and at the same time too. I don't want to miss this one (and I'm sure many other won't too), so maybe we should consider having this race at another time (a few hours earlier or later maybe?).
