We'll decide something and let everyone know in the drivers briefing.
NDR.Timo : actually, I'll rename the race to the "Phil Diaz Girls aloud Kyoto GP"
please let this be true
please let this be true
Well you'd get 01 next time if you won this season 
1 is also not avaliable :P. I mentioned this in the OP, but didn't explain. It's planning in advance for if we have a second season, the champion alone can take 1 (1, 01, 001, whichever s/he prefers).
Number 69 is taken, check the link at the bottom of the first post to see what numbers other drivers have.

SSL Round 1: Results and Penalties
Points standings can be found here.
The Scrappy Standards League had it's inaugural race on the twisting circuit of South City Long (SO4). With relatively few issues drivers were able to sort out their positions with raw pace and racecraft. Magnus Björndal, racing for liveforspee.se, has cemented himself as the man to beat with his flawless weekend at the City. Other MoE drivers such as facepalm Team's Egon Liibeon and Reno Kööts, as well as Conquest Racing's Łukasz Małecki also showed off their pace and overtaking skills. While the sprint race was relatively clean, the feature race ended with a sour note for a few drivers and resulted in a few general warnings to keep the racing clean and fair.
Magnus Björndal started his perfect weekend with a dominant qualifying position. A few drivers set new personal bests in qualifying, but none with such good results as Something Awful Racing's own Randy Young, who secured his spot on the front row.
Magnus continued his weekend by winning the sprint race having led from lights to flag, accompanied on the podium by two other MoE drivers.
The feature race saw the top 8 positions reverse order, with Patryk Kołtowski keeping his lead for four laps until Magnus caught and overtook him. This race had a few more bumps and bruises than the sprint race, and ended with two drivers running out of fuel on the final lap, eventually finishing 4 minutes after the leaders.

In the garage on the left you can put fuel in and the weight in the "Info" tab on the bottom will take this into account.
The fuel in LFS is freakin retarded though, it always seems to round down. If you spectate someone who runs out of fuel, you'll hear their engine die before they actually run out of fuel because the fuel percentage rounded down to the nearest 1/10th (0.0, instead of 0.04%). Seems like the same thing happens with fuel calculations.
If you type /w f on track it'll give you your actual fuel consumption to the nearest 1/100th instead of 1/10th. Use that instead, but I personally always take that then add 2% to be absolutely safe.

Well 2 of the DTs were before a SC. They still mattered sure, but a lot of what they lost was wiped away.
Isn't that just repeating what I said with more words? :P
EST, which stands for Eastern Standard Time, is fixed at GMT-5.
EDT, which stands for Eastern Daylight Time, is fixed at GMT-4.
Right now it is 6:30 PM EST and 7:30 PM EDT. No one on gods green Earth would say that it is 6:30 PM right now on America's east coast. What you most likely mean is that qualifying starts at 3:30 PM EDT.
MoMo92i, this translates to 1930 UTC.
I'll do it and I think everyone who attended SSL's first event last night will agree that sa| knows how to organize a league.
I'll do it for free too. No safety cars and everyone gets a sticker (though some may be offensive if you're a twat).

Oh believe me I know you were saying that the forums are filled with immature people of all ages. My point is that the more mature people probably/usually stay out because of all the filth.
Two things to think about:
The most vocal group is not necessarily the majority.
LFS has been around for the better part of a decade. People who started playing as teenagers are now in their 20s (myself included, I was 19 in December of 2006, though obviously that's not the best example).
Heretic! There will always be room for the Hotlap-Endurance league. 
There will always be room for the Hotlap-Endurance league. I found out in LLWS that Seb is pretty much the worst at thinking about fuel during a race. I think he finished with like >50% fuel one time.
Assuming it doesn't collapse due to negligence from the admins the top GTAL guys will do MoE and a new crop of noobs will take their place in GTAL. It may not have the same faces but I don't see why that means it'll die.
Small oversight, we obviously need to know what session a protest is about so:
- 10.3.2 - Session (Qualifying, Sprint Race, Feature Race)
Just to point out we've got the results up on spdo's database and LFS Stats stuff if anyone's interested: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=1407767#post1407767
Happened to me once too. I figured out it was that my hotlap section wasn't being counted. I can only assume the server hiccuped when it was retrieving that.
I'm glad people seem to have enjoyed it. Was definitely a success in my book, having 20 start on the grids. I may not have done so well but that's quite better than me doing well because only 6 people show up.
Also I moved a few posts because this is the event thread
