Counter statement(s) foreshadowing any Protests for 88 unless otherwise noted,

For following incidents under
Feature Race; Servers: Main

1) Lap 5, 12:00.00
Car(s) involved : 64, 88
Location of Incident : Final Chicane
Received bump from 64, resulting in missed chicane. Could not pull the car up, but rejoined safely and no time gained (incident should have been resolved during session already iirc)

2) Lap 10, 19:12.30
Car(s) involved : 30, 88, 64
Location of Incident : Turn 1
Car 88 makes defense to cover inside line, car 30 decides to send it anyway - car aforementioned misses braking point, takes 64 out ahead.
My POV : I held my line and in fact swung mildly onto right side to give a bit of room. Car 30 broke way too late by himself, out of my physical control of the scenario.

3) Lap 22, 40:35.49
Car(s) involved : 33, 88, 87
Location of Incident : Before Pif Paf
Car 87 makes passing maneuver, 33 decides to attempt follow-through on risky outside. Runs into side of 88, gets sent off into gravel.
My POV to 33: I was busy dealing with 87, I heard you but you were in my blind spot till I looked right, but you were already there. I would say unfortunate car placement, as it was a marginal move at best; plus you left a lot of room on your right and anyhow, I had the line and corner into Pif Paf. With my car positioning, there was exactly 1 car width from my door to the edge of track (and a bit more on the point of 1st contact). I could not have done anything else as you came out of nowhere into a place where you'd be left to dry any way.

Not protesting any of the above or Adam (cus adam good boi)

Cheers

Quote from Eclipsed :

Devs seem to be very cautious announcing their plans,as the community has been very unfriendly if the plans are not fullfilled.

It's because the LFS community is the key example of "evangelism backfiring". Don't even think early access would be taken nicely.... maybe from the few of us who would want new content asap

Hi, can someone relink or upload the psd/png for this?

Qualifying Results

The drivers released onto the slippery, fast track in search for grip following their practice session. It was TC-Racing's Adam who set the pace from the very start, setting a mid 2:11 and choosing to sit out the session as the rest of the field played catch-up. Team Rock Racing's Texas was the nearest challenger, slowly upping his pace in search for pole, with Last Lap Motorsport's Sobis giving chase ahead of Chanturia. Sobis slipped back behind the two Race Green boys, whilst Texas came so close, but yet so far, from pole. World Class Lion's Soini qualified a respectable 6th, as Race Green's Maciek struggled for speed.




Race Results




The first (yes, first!) race start got underway smoothly, with Adam leading the charge down into the infield. A fumble between Soini and Elmo saw an almighty pile up at Turn 4, with Teho's Ngottini launching straight across the track, turning into a rocket as he centerpunched Seven!'s car, triggering a red flag, and full race restart.




The second start was much cleaner, and the pack charged into Turn 1 in search of real estate. Adam and Texas held their positions while Mandula's horrid run out of the dipper lost him a position to Redbot into Turn 3, then Chanturia and Sobis as he ate dust off the racing line. Elmo had made a stonking start, leaping up into 7th behind Mandula, as further back, Simgintas played it cautious at the back.




Up at the front, Adam clocked out as he focused on consistent laps and gapping Texas behind. Texas, who showed good pace during qualifying, could not stay on the back of the TC-R driver, and in fact, fell into the clutches of the fast-starting Chanturia. Defending through the fast Sector 2 chicane, a trip through the grass was all he needed to let Chanturia by, and put him under fire from Sobis in 4th.

Team Foreign's Ashkay had started the first race, but was given a pit lane start in the second one for bad ping, and unfortunately, was the first retirement due to that very reason.




At this point, Adam had already built a 4 second buffer in the lead, as Texas regrouped and hounded Chanturia, who went off at Sector 3, letting the TRR driver past, and inadvertently, Sobis as well. Meanwhile, in 12th, Jereloco had ruined his rear tires and was having a... fun time holding back a train of 3, headed by Soini, who had come unstuck from his qualifying position. Jereloco's defence would come to an end a few laps later, with a high speed spin leaving his tires completely dead, forcing him to retire.

A few places ahead, Chanturia made his compulsory pit stop early, choosing to get out in a gap in 10th, ahead of Essam. Chanturia would also retire, pulling off on Lap 7 after his own tires gave up due to poor heat management.




Minve had pitted earlier than most, but received a Drive-Through Penalty for pit speeding, retiring shortly after.

As the laps trickled down, Adam was slowly getting reeled in by Sobis, who was taking care of his tires way better than the race leader. By Lap 8, Adam's lead had diminished, and he was under immense pressure. A dive by Sobis into the penultimate corner saw Adam put up a perfect defence, blocking the LLM driver and retaining the lead for another lap - which brought Texas right back into the game with his equally better tires. The midway point saw a 3-way fight for the lead, with Adam running off under pressure at the fast chicane, handing the lead to Sobis barely staying ahead of Texas and Redbot - who at this point, had also joined the train.




Sobis, now in the lead, was in prime position to run away with the good tires, and he attempted just that, with Adam in hot pursuit, and Texas battling Redbot for 3rd. However, Sobis's set up consisted of a higher tire pressure to prevent overheating like Adam; beneficial, but did not provide ideal grip, and in no time, Adam had found his rhythm and closed right back for the lead, and made his move into Turn 1 on Lap 13, getting covered off before lightly tapping the rear of Sobis and sending him around. Sobis recovered to retain the lead, however Adam lost second briefly to Texas, before he himself went off into the grass a few corners later, falling to 4th behind both Adam and Redbot.




Simgintas, who was running in a lonely last place, had gone gravel surfing on Lap 12, and made the same mistake under braking on the following lap; this time, beaching himself clean and deep in the kitty litter, bringing out a Safety Car! At the very moment, Sobis had exited the pit lane as he completed his stop - meaning, Adam, Redbot and Texas had it all to do on their in-lap for their own pit stop. It was close, it was tight! However, the leading trio remained as Sobis, Adam, then Redbot, with Texas right behind.





Sobis led away from the lead on the restart, but did a poor one, as Adam got a great jump, and took the lead into the first corner as Sobis ran off wide, dropping way down to 5th before a dive on Mandula saw him spun himself off the door, facing backwards and getting collected by the other Race Green car of Maciek.




Up at the front of the pack, with 3 laps to go, it was Adam's race to lose, and he was making sure he was not going to do that, setting fast laps as he gapped Redbot. The downside? Overheated rear tires, the exact same issue as his first stint, resulting in a titanic battle for the lead, with Adam driving on his mirrors as Redbot struggled to find a way past, with the corners ticking down.

It was Adam for TC-Racing who defeated all the odds to claim victory for the final race of LRL 2020, just ahead of the fast charging Redbot, and Texas in 3rd. Mandula recovered to gift him and Race Green a 4th place, with his team mate Maciek right behind. Sobis, after his restart shambles, regrouped to finish 6th, ahead of Ngottini, Elmo, Soini and PitlaneRacer, who had gotten a top 10 finish in the mess that was the restart.

Qualifying Results

Qualifying was a shambles, with drivers eager to get track position to begin a flyer on the short track. MRc's Gemini was the favourite for the round, and proved his supporters right by setting the pace from the beginning. His team mate Zesty shadowed his pace but could not challenge for the fastest lap. Atian then stepped up to the plate and brought SIDUS's Gabor with him as they both attempted to knock Gemini off pole, to no avail! Air Attack's Swiftz lined up a remarkable 4th, just ahead of Race Green's Mandula and then Michal, who at this point, was virtually out of the running for the championship - such is Trespasser's dominance! That could not be said for him today however, as he only qualified his TRR machine in a lowly 13th.




Race Results




The race kicked off with an even launch from the top few drivers, with Atian unable to get past Gemini using draft into the sweeping Turn 1. Gabor and Swift held back and then attempted to pass at Turn 2, forming a 3 wide situation, of which saw Swiftz moved past Gabor, while a compromised Mandula collected Zesty, spinning him out of contention. Gemini was then passed by Atian into the chicane, losing his flow and dropping down to 6th, behind Michal.




Meanwhile, carnage further back ensued as Pickard stalled on the start, forming a bottleneck around 10th place, which resulted in contact between Seven and Trespasser, sending the champion-elect across the track and down the order. He would later retire on Lap 2, after damage put him miles behind the pack.




As the field spread out, small battles started emerging, and one of which was Swiftz and Michal. Swiftz, who had gotten re-passed by Gabor, was now falling backwards in 4th, and the two drivers fought down into the braking of Turn 2, making initial contact, sending Michal across the weeds and back into Swiftz. A small heart stopper for both, but luckily, they escaped unharmed!




A few places behind, Oscar Hardwick was in a battle with the Race Green boys of Redbot and Mandula, and on Lap 11, managed to pass both of them as they fumbled at the chicane!




Atian, who had gotten past Gemini in the opening laps, was now coming under pressure from the MRc driver, who had calmly made his way up to 2nd, and made the move into the lead on Lap 14 down into the chicane, after a prolonged side-by-side battle which Atian lost. A new race leader!




A few laps later and Gabor was right on the rear of Atian, hassling for 2nd. A small error under braking for the chicane saw the SIDUS driver spin off, rejoining ahead of Swiftz, only to engage in a battle and receive damage at the same place the next lap, conceding the place and eventually retiring following a second dizzy spin.




Michal was running a quiet race in 4th, until Oscar upped his pace and slowly reeled him in - engaging in a feisty battle on lap 24 and finally passing the ailing MRc driver 2 laps later. Michal then bailed for his compulsory pit stop, emerging behind the battling duo of Talha and Maciek. Up ahead, Pickard had pitted, and emerged behind this 3-way battle for 11th.





As the laps ticked down, Oscar, who was holding on to 4th, was being caught by Mandula at a vast rate of knots - defending hard but losing his place on the final lap in the final sector! This left Mandula in a splendid 4th in what was a poor first half of the race. As for Seven in 15th, a rouge recovering PitlaneRacer gave him a jolt as he clobbered into him as he rejoined the track surface. For this, PitlaneRacer received a penalty.




At the front however, a brilliant recovery drive and well executed pace and strategy saw Gemini win his first race in Layout Racing League, 8 seconds clear from Atian, who kept ahead of Swiftz and the fast Mandula. Oscar claimed 5th, ahead of Born2Race's Twincam and Race Green's Redbot. Maciek capped off the top 10, whilst Zesty finished in 21st, second to last only to Beluthar, following a horrid sequence of incidents.

Quote from Lucariwhoa :

@MicroSpecV, I know this is irrelevant to the discussion but I noticed a display on the HUD that showed the proximity of two cars. Did you add that in after the fact to demonstrate or is that a modification that can be used online?

I didn't add it tho that's from Skattle's screenshots

App is LFSLazy that niko linked. LFS Mary is another option but less reliable

To reply to your original protest @jueweb

Lap 4 time 11:55 Turn 8 - racing incident, just usual mild body contact.
Lap 7 time 18:19.20 Turn 8 - you had shunted him into a half spin 3 corners behind, I wouldn't be surprised about the return serve
Lap 8 time 19:54.10 Turn 4 - again, you shunted (well, this time, nudged) him off his line for no reason
Lap 9 time 21:53.30 Turn 5 - you broke/brakechecked into a corner (double right) which doesn't need braking. Of course he's going to run into you
Lap 9 time 22:15.55 Turn 8 - because of you nearly spinning Tauky out, the pair of you broke earlier than usual, Skattle broke at usual point because he's not busy making contact with another car
Lap 11 time 26:14.60 Turn 8 - again, mild racing contact. Tauky gave Skattle his own bit of contact there too.

To join up both my posts - I would say if those contacts #29 gave you warrants a penalty, then you, yourself, would have your own too. Your contacts, although lesser, were far more aggressive and big. If #29 wasn't annoyed by your driving by lap 7 I'd be amazed.

Please, when you report, don't throw up random timestamps just because it helps make the report more full. It doesn't help your cause.

Wait for the official Stewards' decision however as I'm not part of the crew for TBOC
