Qualifying



High speed stability and traction caught drivers out as they struggled to tame the powerful FZ5 around the track. With championship heavyweight [TC-R] Pete unable to attend the event citing personal reasons and J.Pickard absent, it was a open shootout for Qualifying!

SIMOX set the early pace as the session began, with Teho Ngottini close behind, trading fastest laps ahead of L.Rydh and B2r Rejekt. The top qualifiers were separated by nearly nothing, with Ngottini ultimately finding speed where it counted to grab his first Pole Position in the series. SIMOX and Rydh settled for P2 and P3 respectively, with Rejekt and [LCS-R] Texas right behind; these 5 were the only drivers to break the 1:12 barrier.

Championship chaser Trespasser relished in P6 ahead of newcomers Merenul and 3skimas, both of which put in great laps. Another newcomer and veteran [FFM]NUmber managed to put his car 10th, while the likes of GT4Tube and [WCL] T.Soini rounded the back of the field, with [MRc] KIG and PitlaneRacer unable to start the race, having qualified outside the 107% minimum time.

It's pedal to the metal for Round 6!


Drivers racing down into Turn 2

The race started cleanly for everyone, with drivers searching for their own piece of estate as they charged into Turn 2. SIMOX managed to get a brilliant launch off the grid to lead the race, as Teho Ngottini fended off the fast-starting [LCS-R] Texas.

Further back, [r]Jeff fought with [FFM] Number as GaboR went around the outside of several cars, only to come unstuck with the lightest of touches with L.Rydh sending the latter spinning.



The field closely packed as the first stint continued

With the field very similarly-paced, the drivers found themselves entwined in battles from front to back!

Trespasser found an avenue around Texas, as B2r Ayoub MaRoC, GaboR and LLM Sobis battled for the minor placings near the rear end of the points. RG Mandula dived in at the start of Lap 2 for an extremely early pit stop, choosing to drop out of the battle for an undercut. Jeff made an error at Turn 2, outbraking himself in a botched maneuver and taking a half-spin tapping GaboR, letting rookie G.Graham pass and falling behind GT4Tube. Ironically both GaboR and Jeff would soon retire with a an accident and disconnect respectively.

Meanwhile up front, SIMOX showed the pace by gapping the field, with Ngottini unable to lap at the same speed, forming a small train behind him after just only 5 laps. Trespasser soon found a way past after a slip up from the Teho driver.


B2r MaRoC rolls in a slow-speed accident out of Becketts complex

With the field spreading out and SIMOX clocking out up front, it looked like the tire management phrase of the race was soon to hit, however, all came to ends with B2r Ayoub MaRoC getting crossed up at the Maggots-Becketts complex, rolling his car, bringing out the Safety Car on Lap 7.


Mixed strategies down the field

The first round of pit stops took place with some drivers choosing to stay out to get out of the traffic for track position, with others pitting.

The top runners pitted, with Merenul able to jump ahead of Ngottini with a faster pit stop, which would be crucial on the pit exit, with FFM Number filing in between both of them, much to the dismay of Ngottini.


An unfortunate lag incident on the first restart

The race restart saw SIMOX come under great pressure from B2r Rejekt who had jumped cars by not pitting. Both raced hard with great respect, as another non-pitter 3skimas, now in 3rd, defended from Trespasser. Exiting turns 2 and 3, field bunching paired with sudden lag from Trespasser saw innocent victim Rejekt lag bubbled out of the race in a spectacular airborne crash.

Both B2r drivers were now out of the race, continuing an unlucky streak for the reputed team.
The Safety Car was brought out for the second time, bunching the field up once more for a run to the flag.


The second restart

The race got underway once more with SIMOX again gapping the field as 3skimas soon found himself falling backwards with burnt out tires, pitting to clear his compulsory pit, along with a tire change, soon to charge back from the back of the field to finish 8th.

Further back, mid-field battles soon began, with drivers who suffered with tire management now tangled with drivers with better tires towards the end of the race.


Race ends for Cruise hero GT4Tube


The battles near the end of the race

RG Mandula held a good points position but soon his tires failed, with every lap that passed getting passed by drivers as he fell from 5th to 10th. Behind the top 2, [LCS-R] Texas soon found himself with great pace, passing his rivals to finish a rewarding 3rd and on the podium.

Behind him, LLM Sobis and Rydh battled for a top 5 finish, with [FFM] Number briefing in the battle before making a mistake out of the Becketts complex, rolling several times, to land back on his wheels. Rydh half-spun following a slide, letting M@CI3K past to chase after Merenul, falling just short of a 5th place finish. 3skimas brought his car home for a brilliant points finish following his tire change, with [WCL] T.Soini coming home 9th in a quiet race ahead of Mandula and Graham, with [FFM] Number in the last points position.



In the end it was [6S] SIMOX who took full advantage of the incidents and absences to win a dominant race!Such pace he had that he finished just shy of 13 seconds to Teho Ngottini who finished a well-deserved 2nd with a calculated drive.

Cool stuff!

Quote from mgxpower :

My suggestion is to remove these tracks because they are not functioning properly anyway. what is the meaning of such tracks and at the same time no world records. This is discrimination. Since I started with the game I practice only a drag but I have no incentive to play because there is nothing to hold me. good day

Ah, alright! Thank you! All the best!

Also, if possible, could you fix/tweak the following to the patch? -
When using Race Command Message (RCM), if a driver has Blue Flags, the Blue Flag message takes priority over any RCM, which causes some drivers to miss things said through RCM. Such example happened during a race (LRL) when lapped cars and Safety Car driver (who was down on laps) failed to see the Safety Car in/out RCM message due to being Blue Flag spammed. Not sure if the same occurs with Yellow Flag, but I think so from memory!

Perhaps Flags and the RCM message could flash in an alternating pattern? So neither cancels each other. Cheers!

Quote from Scawen :

Thanks, I've added this to my test patch notes. To be clear, the stuck bug is not specifically related to open configs, but to the use of a custom pit stop point.

Yes!

Hello racers!

The championship standings have now been updated as of Round 5. Thank you for your patience!

See you on the 27th of July for Round 6 at Woodland Raceway!

The unforgiving confines of the principality tackled by the drivers in Round 5 of the Layout Racing League! With bold overtakes and incidents throughout the race, a valiant drive by [TC-R] Pete sees him claim his third LRL win!



Qualifying



The streets of Monaco is hard to tame, as many drivers found out during the final Free Practice session. Qualifying kicked off with J.Pickard making a rare cameo appearance in the series, and setting the track alight in the early stages along with [LCS-R] Ltras and Pete, as drivers struggled to find an opening to get a clear lap.

Trespasser was absent from the event, unable to make it in time, which gave a chance for Pete to gain points - however, he was pushed to 4th by the top qualifiers, while newly-recruited Team Teho driver Ngottini and [6S] SIMOX somehow found time on the green track to get 2nd and 3rd. The pole was secured mid-way through qualifying by Pickard, who set a blistering 1:16.9 to put himself 3 tenths clear of the next car.

Azyer made a reappearance into the league since his quiet temporary departure from Air Attack, placing his UF1 a respectable 5th on the grid ahead of Texas, who suffered with traffic in the closing stages of the session. His teammate Ltras, unable to find pace, laid in 10th, just behind (FR) Seb and ahead of M@CI3K. [TC-R] Adam barely made it on time to set a lap, with less than a second to spare as he crossed the line to begin his do-or-die lap - landing him a position near the back with Dude and [WCL] T.Soini.

It's go for Round 5 of LRL!


Field negotiating the first corner

With a long run into turn 1, drivers aimed to gain positions but most were denied by the confines of the circuit - essentially falling line-of-stern as they exited the corner. Pickard maintained his all-important lead whilst behind him, [TC-R] Pete threaded the needle between Ngottini and SIMOX to slip by into 2nd.

Ngottini then went wide at Turn 2, giving up a spot to [LCS-R] Texas. Further behind, mid-field jostling resulted in a spin for [AMG] Derinus, dropping him to the back of the pack. The end of Lap 1 saw [TC-R] Adam come in for an pitstop to undercut, hoping to make up time on the cars ahead.


PitlaneRacer rolls exiting the Tunnel

As the race settled in for what was to be a long first stint, it was clear the top 4 had a pace difference, and were slowly gapping 5th-placed Ngottini. A train of cars were soon forming behind the Teho driver, stretching from Azyer in 6th all the way down to [MRc] Michal in 13th, with Azyer eyeing up an overtake before the first Safety Car period was called due to a roll by PitlaneRacer.

The drivers at the front blinked and took a their mandatory pit stop, however, Pickard chose to stay out to maintain track position, with the [LCS-R] boys of Ltras and Texas also choosing not to pit as well. Further in the mid-field, drivers were split on pitting and staying out, thus mixing in the positions as the field prepared for the restart. In the tight pit lane, [TC-R] Elmo led ahead of a train of cars, stopping on the first pit-stall, which resulted in being rear-ended by M@CI3K with nowhere to go and with cars behind him. The resulting time lost saw Elmo drop out of a point's paying position.

Pickard dropped the hammer and led away in a perfectly executed restart, ahead of Texas, with Pete the meat in a [LCS-R] sandwich ahead of Ltras who had not pitted.


Tight mid-field battles

As the field slowly spread out again once more, mid field duels were occuring throughout - M@CI3K and [MRc] Michal fought over 10th as [TC-R] Elmo slowly picked positions off from the back. [TC-R] Adam had a brief tussle with B2r Rayman, pulling off a stunning sequence of switchbacks to pass the B2r driver.

Out at the front, the front runners were pulling away once more, with Pickard pulling out a small lead over Texas, with Pete in third still unable to find a way past. Ltras lay forth just ahead of a recovering SIMOX, with Ngottini and Azyer fighting it out for fifth.


An uncharacteristic error

With the mid-field tight and frustrations brewing, B2r MaRoC made an unforced error chasing his rival Derinus, rolling over the same anti-cut as PitlaneRacer, causing another Safety Car.

Pickard, with his lead over 2nd, pitted to complete his pit stop, as well as Ltras. Pickard emerged in 5th ahead of Azyer, while Ltras came out in 9th, only just beating M@CI3K to the pit exit merging line. [WCL] T.Soini running at the back, pitted on the end of the Safety Car period with ample space to chase the cars ahead. GT4Tube, running in a good position, threw away his race with a pit exit violation, earning him a penalty.


The chasing pack on Restart 2

The restart saw the field status quo, with drivers timing their restarts right to not get overtaken. A late braking move into Turn 1 however, saw B2r Rayman pass LLM Sobis for 14th. Meanwhile, up front, [LCS-R] Texas was being hounded by the chasing pack, with Pete searching for opportunities to slip one up the inside.


The move for the lead

Lap 15 and Pete took his chance with a bold pass at the Swimming Pool to take the lead of the race. With a great run through Louis Chrion, an inside line saw the [TC-R] driver draw alongside at the braking zone, with Texas leaving the door wide open, only to realise too late, making contact at the apex, sending the [LCS-R] driver wide and giving SIMOX a great run down into La Rascasse to steal 2nd away as well.


3rd Safety Car period, caused by GT4Tube

At the back of the pack, LLM Sobis was heading a small train of cars, after getting dropped by the drivers in front, with [AMG] Derinus right behind. We saw the third appearance of the Safety Car after GT4Tube, running in a lonely 16th, made an error exiting Swimming Pool.


Race finishing under Safety Car

The 3rd restart began and went on for only a short while before Rayman tripped over the chicane, rolling over on the penultimate lap, bringing out the Safety Car. Unfortunate circumstances saw Dude and LLM Sobis disconnect with only a few kilometers to the finish. In what was a race of attrition, the final lap was taken under the Safety Car, driven by Dekojester, ending the race under yellow.

In an exciting race with a nail-biter finish, it was ultimately [TC-R] Pete who once again proved why he deserves to run with the top racers, claiming his 3rd LRL win and taking a 18-point lead over Trespasser. Pickard, who looked favourite to win the race, was let down by a bad strategy, setting the fastest lap in showing he had the pace to win. SIMOX, Ngottini and Azyer held their own in 3rd, 4th and 5th, with a stunning recovery drive by Ltras to finish 6th. [MRc] Michal finished a decent outing in 8th while [TC-R] Adam was the mover of the race, claiming points from a lowly starting position.

Derinus was sadly disqualified after failing to serve a Drive-Through Penalty in the required laps, dropping him out of his points position.


Driver's Championship as of Round 5




Pete regains his championship lead heading into the second half of the season! Will he be able to be LRL's first Driver's Champion?

Maybe besides just blacklisting the words "lfsp**", we should also keep adding all the nonsense phrases they paste and spam into the server? Not sure how it may work but may not as Airio/Insim might just blacklist word by word, not good

The drivers come around to the forth round of LRL at the unique Scawen's Racetrack circuit, looking for points and to reignite battles! Once again key incidents alter the order at the top of the table - a comeback performance by TC-R] Pete sees him win his second LRL event!



Qualifying



The twisty circuit saw the biggest turn out to date for the series, with 24 drivers taking to the tarmac in search for a good starting position - vital for the race. It was the Indonesian [LCS-R] Ltras showing early pace during the session, but his time was soon bested by championship protagonist [TC-R] Pete, who put in his fastest lap mid-way through the session to secure pole once again.

Championship leader Trespasser was off pace today, citing a "damage limitation race", only qualifying in 10th, more than a second off the pole time and just ahead of TOFU Bro. [RDSR] Cyankill and Medln put in great times to qualify 3rd and 4th respectively, while [6S] SIMOX beat newcomers [TC-R] Nick and Adam for 5th. A poor performance from [LCS-R] Texas sees him only qualify in 12th, ahead of Gabor and [MRc] Michal.


Race

21. Medln +16L Technical
22. [MRc] Michal +18L Accident
23. [RDSR] Cyankill +18L Technical
24. Tofu BRO +21L Technical

Fastest Lap : [TC-R] Pete - 1:38.87
Penalties :
B2r Rejekt - Drive-Through Penalty - Causing a Collision
[r]Jeff - POST RACE REPRIMAND - Contact Warning (Lap 1)
AS|Daniel - POST RACE REPRIMAND - Contact Warning (Lap 1)
GT4Tube - POST RACE REPRIMAND - Causing a Collision (Lap 22)
(FR) Seb - POST RACE REPRIMAND - Causing a Collission (Lap 22)


It's lights out for Round 4!


Clean and neat out of Turn 1

The run into turn 1 was short, with drivers equal off the line, fighting for their own space into the corner. [TC-R] Adam had a disastrous start, getting past by his teammate. Further back, opportunistic pass by Tofu BRO made Rejekt check up, which saw mild contact made between Trespasser and Texas, which lost them momentum and places down into Turn 2.


Clumsy contact into the second corner!

Down into Turn 2 saw chaos ensue in the mid-field as the drivers were packed way too closely - with [r]Jeff and AS|Daniel missing their braking points, the latter slamming into Jeff causing a domino effect, with Texas kissing the rear of Trespasser, sending him sideways facing the wrong way. The championship leader, was now 19th and falling back entering the second sector, which only became worse after PitlaneRacer slid out of Turn 3, causing Trespasser to check-up and get rear ended by M@CI3K.

From 10th to 23rd, the championship leader was now on the back foot.

Up at the front, Ltras broke way too late, handing 2nd on a plate to Cyankill, with Medln and SIMOX slipping through as well. Behind, inter-team scuffle between [TC-R] Nick and Adam began and we would soon see it last throughout the entire race.
Lap 2 saw our first retirement - Tofu BRO retiring with excessive lag, a pity considering his pace up with the front of the pack.


Huge impact and a roll into Tunnel 2

As the field spread saw cars find their own rhythm, Pete was clocking out near the front, with the trailing pack slowly falling back. [RDSR] Cyankill fell victim to a disconnect, forcing a retirement out of a strong second place, with Medln and SIMOX promoted into 2nd and 3rd.

Shortly after, we saw our one and only Safety Car period, with [MRc] Michal losing the rear over the crest entering Tunnel 2, slamming into the wall at unabated speed and rolling over - ending his race from 13th place.
The drivers toured the circuit as the Safety Car waited at the first corner, with majority of the field taking their compulsory pit on that lap.

[LCS-R] Ltras, Gabor and [LCS-R] Texas among others took their chances, staying out, gaining track position and leapfrogging to the front of the field, with (FR) Seb choosing to pit on the second safety car lap, dropping out of a strong top-10 position. Medln suffered a disconnect during the SC period, taking him out of contention to challenge for the race victory.


Race restart on Lap 9

The restart got underway, with Pete getting the jump over Ltras, pulling out a small lead, before the latter closed the gap right down for a tough duel that lasted for the majority of the race, with Pete unable to turn his car on for the second stint.

The off-pace [TC-R] Elmo half-spun against [WCL] T.Soini at the Dipper, dropping him to the rear of the field.
As the field once again spread out, it was clear the top 2 both had the pace to win, and soon a gap formed to 3rd and 4th who were now occupied by Nick and Adam, after fighting past Gabor, who pitted soon after in a failed alternate strategy.


The battle for 3rd intensified


The charge from championship contender, Trespasser

Meanwhile back in Trespasser's world, it was a smooth comeback, slowly picking off positions as he raised himself to 9th by the mid-way point of the race.

Battles were few and far between, with Jeff, Rejekt and Gabor in a tussle for the minor points, and the top 2 now a staggering 9 seconds ahead of 3rd, but all would soon be exciting again as the for the podium kicked off once more.


Ltras pitting and emerging right in the huge battle for the podium

Ltras, on the alternate strategy, had built up enough of a gap to drop himself back into the tail of the battle for the podium, with [TC-R] Adam holding off the [LCS-R] driver for a nail-biting 3-way tussle for 3rd with SIMOX in close proximity behind. Paint was exchanged and tempers rose, but ultimately it was a crazy battle which saw Adam eventually come out on top!


The battle for the minor points at the end of the race

Further back, Texas tried but failed to hold AS|Daniel behind, settling for 8th, ahead of Jeff and Gabor, with Trespasser only coming home in 11th following a last-lap racing incident with [r]Jeff. A final lap incident on the pit exit with GT4Tube and (FR) Seb saw both receive a reprimand for avoidable contact.




Up at the front though, we thought we saw the last of him in Round 3 - but [TC-R] Pete proves the doubters wrong and claims his second victory in LRL and full points haul with it! [TC-R] Nick and his teammate Adam round off a 1-2-3 for team TC Racing, with Ltras and SIMOX finishing best of the rest in 4th and 5th. A decent outing by Ngottini sees him grab 6th, with Trespasser finishing a dismal race in 11th, ahead of GT4tube with the final points scoring position.


Driver's Championship as of Round 4




Pete places himself back into the championship fight as we head to the last of three rounds in LRL's Triple header. With a tight mid-field battle in the standings as well, we look forward to the next race on the 13th of July at the principality - Monaco!

Quote from Flotch :

no => in fact there is too much grip already for the tires.
This is one of the factor leading to heat up too much the tires because they accept too much load before sliding. Same that is leading aswell to have lots of difficulties to drive "quickly" without a locked differential : outside is having so much grip that the inside is leaving the ground ^^
Then there is of course the fact that tires are cooling down too slowly ...
Please Scawen, fix this

Yeah.... this, in un-TL;DR fashion

This is why going fast in races requires "mario-karting" of the cars - where you purposely induce oversteer to 4-wheel drift a car around a corner, taking crude advantage of the tire grip and non-existant slip.

Needs to change fast, going fast now is down to basically changing your driving style to something that just isn't realistic; you won't ever see a FOX or XRG equivilant car on a real racetrack slipping sideways to gain time in a corner - it's just wrong in so many ways, and still the reason why I'm a purist and don't mario kart cars at all. Perhaps why I'm never at the top of the charts, but heck I like to drive my car like normal...

Mid-way in LRL's triple-header! Many overtaking opportunies, and a enjoyable driver's circuit!

Yes Spiky is right, I believe the Lmaoring track saves the races under the Drag strip, check your LFSW stats, it should fall as one race in drag, if not...

Besides the handling changes that is supposed to come...
This is Live For Speed, a racing simulator.

It never was proclaimed as a drift simulator, although people love drifting on it. It's great for drifting but I doubt drift handling is top priority at the moment - the remodelled tire model is more important for racing now.

Quote from mbutcher :

Nice write up. I've got it all to do now to challenge for the championship. Bring it on.

You go mate! Close that gap down. See you and everyone else for Round 4 this Saturday, 6th July!
