3 times in a row now all 3 races had Safety Car bug or mishandling

Round 1 VSC insim error, then unfair penalties issued post-race
Round 2 SC and then recall to VSC
Round 3 Long VSC for rescuing slow stuck car (another car in previous round did not get same treatment), then VSC change to SC after 1 lap

Guys shouldn't this lot be resolved by this round already... it's halfway in the season. I didn't want to write this rant-i-ful passage out, and I was hoping I didn't, but it happened again today at FE. The elongated 2nd VSC and evolve to SC costed Rony his win, costed me a pit stop.

Yes, there wasn't the super dumb SC to VSC recall, but still, close to a full lap under VSC before evolving to SC is way too long. Make the right decision from the start, and if you don't, stick with whatever you got, and if you need to recall or evolve to the next tier of yellow, do it quickly... And if you're going to rescue someone, give someone time, or treat a car in one way, every other car should be given at least the same treatment and chance to rejoin/reset. It's bloody basics...

@Rony you're my winner today, @Sanocki you're also a winner because of your pace
and gg Rando



@gemini
Didn't read the huge bulk of small text in the rules properly. Formation lap was my bad.

To all drivers and stewards
TBOC Challenge 2020 by NDR

30 Nov 2020, Formal Apology


Dear gentlemen,

I am writing this letter to express my apologies following the unsportsmanlike driving standards and subsequent outburst that occured during the running of the fifth round of TBOC yesterday, dated 29th November. I apologise for any hurt that I may have inflicted with my words in anger.

Off the midnight coffee and following a good sleep, I have taken time to reflect on my season and my actions that have brought me to where I am, but also ruined my reputation and demeanour. I have realised that my approach to racing is and has always been flawed - and that I was just a ticking time bomb in regards to penalties or hatred. I need to reiterate again that, I have always been aggressive and decisive and that has always been my approach and driving style (heck, even philosophy) and to date I have not been made aware of the consequences of such actions - until today.

I have taken this occassion to reassess my character and driving behaviour and will attempt to change for the better of myself and my fellow competitors; but it will take time and I hope in the meantime, I will not cause any further issues. I hope you all will give me the opportunity to better myself and race well once again.

In reference to the aforementioned, Car 88, Sean Lee accepts all imposed penalties derived from the existing protests at this time, to be applied in the official results for Feature Race (session) of the event. On behalf of Air Attack Racing and Newsroom entity, I thank whoever has been there to guide me and talk to me even in my anger. I appreciate that.

Once again, sorry and thank you, and I hope to race with you all again in the finale.


Best Regards
Sean Lee (AOR Nova)

nice warnings and stop & go, fantastic

here are some lovely exhibits :

1) sprint hlinka


what else can i do when he decides to miss his braking point, slide into middle of the road, and then brake check me when i'm midway committed through a going to the inside? and then I get a warning for him turning into me when i'm already 80% past his b pillar? right, okay. I'll brake check people next race then, since that seems fine to do. talk me out of that.

2) feature niko

moves under braking to cover me, making me swing wide at last moment. fine. then drives himself shallower than a plate, understeers straight on in the grass, and I catch his rear fender, and we interlock bodies like lego; I get a warning for this shit? Sure, he gets a penalty for blocking, but for his own line choice making him run into me , really? OK.

3) feature katila

i'm sorry, where's the 1-car width? does the kerb count or am I that fat? I'm right at the b-pillar so its not that i'm sticking my fingernail in. My car is there, and I pulled up mostly in time to make the corner. I get a warning and penalty for this?


Right. I get it. On the day where I am fighting Botsi for the championship and trying not to drive like an ****, people block weave and do dumb shit, shit that I get called out for. And I get the warnings, OK.

for 5 rounds i get up and stay woke on coffee till 2am+ just to entertain and give some rubbing and hard racing for the viewers and on the day where I'm trying not to drive dumb i'm the one that gets shit on.

"oh you should just be passive and let people by to stay safe" - what joy and excitement is that, i dont stay up late to play second fiddle. Or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about at 3 in the morning. Maybe @bozz can vouch for the racing I gave him in the sprint. i dunno. Or maybe I should have just let him past. I don't know either.




side note : i'm sleepy and pissed to hell, so if i wake up in the morning all calm again I'm sorry for my driving/behaviour/speech, yeah i shouldn't even appeal for this i guess since it's over already, congrats botsi

Well written Kid. Future in guidebook making

Also, relevant clips to show awareness and BF1 handling :

Quote from nikopdr :

Feature Race; Servers: Main
Lap 20; Timecode 37:45.00
Car(s) involved: 88
Location of Incident: School Pit Straight, last chicane
Brief Description of Incident: No hard feelings. 88 slows down after Tarzan to leave a gap to the top3 drivers in order to try to get a jump from the restart. The gap created is way too huge in my opinion and unfair to the drivers behind. See attachment for the moment the leader floors it.

D:
But yes I didn't see that covered anywhere in the rules, and also rb4 is so chonky on chicane exit I had to try something you still blew past tho, dammit go slower. Anyhow, Good racing!
(also if there was a 10-car length rule or something I think I was still way inside that)

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

Check your internet connection. Looks like your IP is not receiving the data packets - this may be due to a poor connection, ISP issues, or even your firewall blocking LFS from connecting
