**Season 3 Round 17** - *The results are in!*

https://piranmoto.co.uk/events/44

A busy week this week, with an influx of new players and our highest turnout to date with 45 drivers over the course of the evening and 29 drivers on track at one point. As always this led to a rash of 'overenthusiastic' contact. Unusually, this time repeated warnings did not help - those who ignored the warnings are banned until after the TOC.

There was spectacular racing nonetheless, nerves of steel and lightning reactions were the order of the day!

Back on the top step for the 2nd time is VM's **Dlocky** with 169 points and 7 wins, and a margin of 37. Congratulations!

2nd this week was MRc's **TimDC** with 132 points and 3 wins

3rd place goes to OK's **Rauno**, chasing hard with 128 points and 4 wins.

Special mention goes to Sardjon for topping the next pack of 4 drivers who ended up separated by just 7 points.

PiranMOTO Trial of Champions #1: Trial of the Crossover - Mon 3rd May, 19:00 UTC
Racon
S3 licensed
Roll up ladies and gentlemen for a once-in-a-very-long-time opportunity to test yourself in contact racing against the best of the best!

A trial that will test your speed, your reactions, your offense, your defence, your strategy and your luck as the cars grow ever more powerful. Random grids will make short work of the delicate, and nobody, in this trial, is ever safe from the spectre of the crossover.

And, what's more, the winner will have to prove all this in front of a live audience - That's right, the whole trial will be broadcast live by Simbroadcasts with guest commentary from PM's Jon!



PLEASE NOTE: Unlike our regular Friday Open DD nights, registration *is* required for this event.

35 places are available initially, with 5 reserved for invitations (unused invitations will be returned to the pool).

Places will be awarded in order of highest score acheived at a PiranMOTO Open DD event, tie-broken on date of registration. The last Open DD event available in which to register a score before the Trial of Champions event is Friday 30/4/21 at 19:00 UTC.

To register: supply your name, racing number and LFS username by reply in this post, or in the #trialofchampions channel on discord. The list in this post will serve as the official list.

The entry list will be finalised at 11:00 UTC on the day of the event, and the password sent to all participants via LFS Forum message shortly thereafter.

PiranMOTO Bezier (Prototype) - Draw bezier curves with layout objects
Racon
S3 licensed
Draw super-smooth bezier curves of layout objects with just four control points. It's just a prototype at this point, so a little limited and clunky, and apologies in advance for those times you hit the wrong button at the wrong time and can't get back - it happens to me too Wink

Feedback welcome for the steering the fuller version's development.

Panel:


SP - Start Point
SC - Start Control
EC - End Control
EP - End Point
(red means not set, green means set)

Quick guide:
- Edit insim port number in .cfg file to connect to your local client
- Place a guide object (I use posts, but anything will work)
- Select the guide object, then click the corresponding control point button in the panel
- When all four control points are set, clicking the 'generate' button will generate the curve
- Moving a control point (using 'm' key) will redraw the curve, allowing endless fine-tuning
- The 'clear' button resets the control points, allowing you to move them without affecting the previous curve
- The 'delete' button will remove the last-placed curve (even after the control points are cleared)
- Click the drawing object name to scroll through the list of options (left-click forward, right-click backward)

Here's me showing you through a couple of things described above:

PiranMOTO_CarLimiter - Limit track-joining by car/class/mod whitelist
Racon
S3 licensed
CarLimiter will enforce car specifications according to a whitelist when joining track. Definitions of the cars are loaded from an external file 'PiranMOTO_CarLimiter.data.csv', as described in the file 'readme.txt'. Every specification available to InSim on a car joining the track is covered by CarLimiter as of LFS version 0.6V. The supplied data file includes base values compiled from the LFS Forum.

A whitelist can be set from available car names, class names, or a combination, and players attempting to join the track in a car that doesn't match the whitelist will not be allowed to join. Players experiencing a rejection will be shown the current whitelist, and a full explanantion of any car's specifications can be requested by the player. Players already on track when the whitelist changes will be revalidated by default.

Please feel free to post your own customised data files back here in this thread, for use by others.

**Season 3 Round 13** - *The results are in!*

https://piranmoto.co.uk/events/40

What a final race! The entire event was down to the last race with three people having a chance to win... and decided in the very last turn!

Congratulations for the win go to *MRc's **TimDC**, who came in disguise this week as *Driver64*. He took 7 wins on the way to 146 points, pushing Flying ET wide on the last turn of the last race to ensure his 6th win.

2nd this week was **Flying ET** with his best result yet, claiming second place for the first time and only missing the win by a 2-point whisker!

3rd place this week is VM's **Dlocky** - his third podium in three attempts, catching up to be in with a chance in the final despite missing the first 2 races.

*Join us next Friday 19:00UTC for more!*

**PLEASE NOTE UTC TIME CHANGE! We're still on at 20:00 UK time, but that is now 19:00 UTC. Watch out for you own local timezone jiggery-pokery!**

Congratulations for the win go OK's **Rauno**, returning to the top step for the fifth time with 168 points and 5 wins.

2nd this week was MRc's **TimDC**, holding off third place by a single point and also with 5 wins.

3rd place this week is VM's **Dlocky** - who took 4 wins on the way to earning a podium on his first full DD event!

*Join us next week, Friday 20:00UTC, for all the usual... **plus an FX2 round!** *

Quote from [OD :Jardim;1964505"]No, the UFR has 309bhp per ton power ratio. The XRG/XFG are at 124bhp/ton. I was thinking of a "alternate" street version of the UF1000 with a small boost in power and a locked diff to match the 124bhp/ton ratio of the demo cars.

UFR goes down to 117bhp with a 50% air-intake restriction. You should be able to give them any performance you need between XFG and unrestricted UFR, and now there are tyre options to play with too Thumbs up

Quote from ntelas :I did check for update inside the app for days. May I ask why did you not update it via the built-in updater? I wish I knew there was a new version on the forum already! Thank you!

It's because:
Quote from DANIEL-CRO :Looks like dropbox has disabled link sharing for my account because of too many requests... Therefore I will attach the file here.

That also mean that auto-updater does not work now.

**Season 3 Round 10** - *The results are in!*

https://piranmoto.co.uk/events/37

A very low turnout this week (as is often the way after an incompatible update) and unfortunately in the second half the numbers dropped too low to continue - the event was called after round 4.

Up until that point there were still thrills and spills though - three drivers were in the running early on, but only one could keep the consistency.

Congratulations for the win go MRc's **TimDC** with 111 points of a possible 120, and 7 wins along the way.

2nd this week was PiranMOTO's **Jam 616**, 16 points short and with 2 wins.

3rd this week is PiranMOTO's **Jon 606** - his first podium this season.

*Join us next week, Friday 20:00UTC, for more!*

Season 3 Round 9 - The results are in!

https://piranmoto.co.uk/events/36

More records broken this week!

Congratulations for the win go again to RD2, this time taking a record-equalling 12 race wins (shared with Sam) on his way to a record-breaking 194 points out of a possible 210.

This is his 8th DD Event win, yet another new record! We are going to have to call in reinforcements...

2nd this week is OK's Rauno and 3rd is MRc's TimDC - the pair separated only by Rauno's 3 extra points and Tim's 1 extra win.

Join us next week, Friday 20:00UTC, for more!

In the meantime, drop this little beauty into your LFS/data/dds folder for a thicker smoke that's not too thick. Or there's a few more versions out there too, now you know which filename to search for Wink

**Season 3 Round 8** - *The results are in!*

https://piranmoto.co.uk/events/35

A little low on numbers this week, but that didn't stop the action! Another close-fought battle that lasted until the end and ended with a margin of just 3 points!

Congratulations for the win go to **RD2**, taking 9 race wins on his way to an amazing 181 points of a possible 210. More congratulations are in order: this is also his 7th DD Event win, equalling Sam and sharing the PiranMOTO record for most event wins!

2nd this week is MRc's **TimDC**, missing out by only 3 points and taking 8 race wins on the way there.

3rd place goes to PiranMOTO's own **Jam 616**, taking one of just four wins that TimDC and RD2 left for the rest of us.

Quote from Scawen :I half expect that now that I've expressed a limit, the most important thing in the world will become 245mm width tyres.

Nod Taped Shut

On that general theme, I saw a suggestion today in discord that a minimum clutch time be set that matches the auto-clutch time. I don't know about that kind of thing so I can't tell if it's a good idea or not, but if it is a reasonable suggestion and do-able, I may never have to listen to the button clutch argument ever again. On that basis I thought it was worth a mention Thumbs up
