1) General Information
a) Layout Racing League (LRL) is a series is defined as a series running a minimum of 5
events in the Live for Speed simulation software using circuits either modified
significantly with layout objects, or entirely made of layout objects, and may utilise
various cars suited to each circuit.

b) LRL is the pioneering race series making use of LFS layout circuits, showcasing the creative abilities of various track makers and allows for expansion of the season calendar outside of the regular LFS tracks.

Season 2 for LRL will begin with a test race this Saturday, 18th April!



The long awaited return of Layout Racing League has finally reached a climax, and the new season is about to begin. Join the racing this Saturday where the crew and racers will be racing in a open-invite test event around the Schwarzwald and Mid-Town Ring circuits!

If you are an avid racer, bored and wish to entertain yourself in a new series, head on down this Saturday at 1500 UTC. For more details, head over to https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/94105-LRL-Pre-Season-Test-Race !

Quote from sermilan :

No, I didn't

I braked where my braking point was, more or less, throughout the whole race.

Hey Sermilan

After looking over it a few times, yep. That incident was my fault. I apologise for the late fade to the right, could have been avoided. My bad there.

That being said, you did go in a little bit deeper, if you managed to be alongside I'd be out of room on the outside, but the contact was my fault. Sorry mate!

Quote from xmlenoa :

hello new future update
night mode is final
I have a question
now there are 3 weather available in the game, will they be deleted
my dynamic mood will come
otherwise night mode will only emi s3 emi as a separate air
@scawen THANKS

I would infer that dynamic lighting (day-night transition) will be separate from static weather. Not just for choice purposes, but it is probable that dynamic lighting takes more gpu to process, hence, having it on all the time is not possible for a portion of racers.

For demo, if this has been planned well, it should seem that Clear Afternoon, Day and Dusk will remain but Night will be included, with Dynamic lighting being excluded as a licence-only privilage. Correct me if I'm wrong @Scavier

Nice work!

Quote from nikopdr :

Sure, I'd be up for this challenge

It's possible to race against higher ping players as there are a few faster south american drivers frequenting GTI and FOX (hi RP) and it's possible to drive quite close and have nice racing going on but it requires both to be a bit more fair than usual as any contact with over 200ms ping difference can cause some issues when contact occurs, as taps do tend to multiply in force if one of the cars has bad luck and updates path just at the wrong time it has it's own risks, but when there is enough skill at play everyone should be able to estimate the lag behaviour when manoveuring around the track

I second this, I have high ping and have had several really nice battles anywho. @OP here's some examples - take note my ping ranges from 210 to 300 here

Quote from Eclipsed :

I hate to dissapoint you,but that configuration is known as Fern Bay Cadet (F11) - unfortunatelly the unofficial layouts thread has lost it's graphics,so there are barely any references left about it.
RTFR has run this configuration 4 times already,first appearance was back in 2011 in 13th RTFR with RB4,while one of the events hosted a race with XRR - track felt quite suited too.

No worries, I'll edit the header to include this info!

Quote from Chaos :

Hello devs,

(BTW being a performance engineer I noticed that in LFS, on cars which have underfloor downforce, there is no change in it if you play with ride height - IRL this does a lot and the "rake" angle is a major part of GT car's setup)

Looking forward to hearing from you guys

Don't get me wrong, adjusting the AOA of the rear to rake the car out is something I've been exploring since last year and I'm sure it does.... something.

For me, I thoroughly disapprove of the mario karting/rear wheel steering/powersliding character of yhe handling model that makes the cars go quicker around corners. I've raced in other sims and used a full-motion rf1 cockpit before, and I till today cannot properly get around sliding cars around corners. Especially in high downforce cars like the GTRs or Formulas.

Hence, I've been playing around with rear ride height to give the car more front grip and adjusting the spring rates and abr to make the rear stable. I've had both success and failure with this apptoach, sometimes it works wonders and feels like I'm driving a totally different car in a different handling model - I qualified 4th for a VERL Kyoto FO8 race, which I normally can't with the pace up front.

It's a numbers game and most certainly not affected by any downforce physics at all (not that LFS has simulated downforce levels or active air flow capabalities). But rake does work to some extent. Just need the patience to wrap the head around how to set the car up, and baring in mind this would need a different driving style (it suits my original style, hence I feel right at home).

/edit
This is a lap using my custom raked set; I use mouse, so notice the stability and corner exits and lack of rear sliding. It's a laptime I would never be able to replicate when using the WR set.
