I think we still need more posts to share the layouts.

Those who are interested to try out some layouts already, just make a post on this thread.

What's the address for the broadcast?

Sisu Grand Prix

#14 Remco Majoor

Will there be a broadcast for the Light races?

Sisu Grand Prix

#14 Remco Majoor
#28 Harjun Singh

Quote from Smashmolth :

That has no point at all! Why would people even train for the races if setups already made?
And second thing, it's one of the best things in lfs to try make own set, why disallow it? that's just stupid idea.

As I said this gives no one advantage - everyone will be running the same setup only with minor changes, and basically everyone could be a championship contender then. Either way this was just a suggestion towards the community, but can be discussed as the series is still under construction.

Quote from Racon :

Why the fixed setup? Most MRT sets are beyond my ability

The fixed setup is to allow novice drivers to get the taste of racing without further knowledge of setups. As the series is aimed for everyone, we're making it balanced so everyone is driving with the same setups, but with different talent.

Just to inform something to prove that I'm have not forgotten about this, we've now built some layouts to be added in the calendar. Also, I think 6 rounds is the way to go. Note that there can be 2 rounds from the same track area.

Quote from harjun :

LFSW name: harjun
In-game name: harryboy
Full team name: Sisu Grand Prix
Nation: British

Updated team name.

For those who didn't know it yet: Remco Majoor (CodeLyoko1) and Damian Eikelkamp (deking235) officially joined the team couple days ago. Sisu Grand Prix hasn't appeared in any series yet, and with the new members we will be participating in various LFS series. I will also update our websites as well, when I got time to do so.

Quote from cougar8 :

Yes he is and what list?

The first post's, obviously?

So... Firexter is in the team? Can't find him from the list though...

In the picture: "All teams are welcome, sing up!"

Also how do people know which time zone the event takes place in, since it's not mentioned?

Quote from CodeLyoko1 :

a long series tend to die at the end

The series should be longer than 6 rounds though.

Quote from CodeLyoko1 :

also, what kind of tracks do you want to be in the series. big tracks (like fe/ky) or layouts on carpark etc. or do you want a mix of them?

Well I originally planned to get layouts approximately of the same length (in laptimes) but judging LFS' little amount of different tracks, it's rather impossible. Instead, I'll make tracks in different lengths (laptimes will be under 1:50 each track). I will not use the parking lot areas though, only the layout areas. And I prefer a fairly long calendar, which means there will be more than 1 event on the same track area, but with different layouts.

Quote from Eclipsed :

So let me see this straight - this is your first league,you're new to admining events,not much people knows you and yet you start to put some restrictions/requirements like mandatory team and 2 drivers in it? Sorry,you're screwed.
Start lower,with something easier,especially when you organize with a car so unpopular.

Well, I don't think all the 26 voters would be wrong. And I decided to organize this series exactly because the car is very unpopular.

Reminder for those who plan to participate in the series: They must be in a valid team, teamless drivers are not allowed. This is a team-based series, with 2 drivers in each team to a race. Meaning, that drivers shall be swapped during the races, but only 2 drivers per team per race. One team can compete with only one driver though.

Ok, I think the poll speaks for itself now. I think we should indeed publish this series! Now we just need people to play their roles in the whole setup.

Quote from Eclipsed :

Don't expect,you'll might be disapointed. Just remove the limitation.

Haha, I think you misunderstood my point I said I could remove the limitation, but naturally more people would need to join to complete the grid.

Quote from TFalke55 :

Well LFS's natural grid limit is 32. The late OWRL MRT league had 22 cars at the strongest round. Persoally I much rather have full grids when organizing leagues. It is more work but also more fun if done properly.

Ok...guess we'll be expecting a full grid then! Assuming that people are interested in this series, of course.

Oh didn't realize this version has already been featured in the unofficial open configuration list anyway, I'm going to do some changes on it so it's distinguishable.

Quote from TFalke55 :

Why not using full grids? The problem often is, that having a lower max.grid turns out in low turn-up numbers at the end of the season.

The reason for not using full grid is just a thought that is stuck on my head, after experiencing Formula Challenge with over 40 cars, that's no good...and since this layout is so narrow and short, I would prefer a fairly limited amount. But things can change, it was just a suggestion...

Quote from TFalke55 :

How do you want to control the setups?

Well, things like tire pressures and fuel load would only be allowed to be changed.

Quote from Denny12 :

not bad, maybe i wouldn't put tyres on apexes..

Please keep in mind that this is still a WIP and numerous changes can happen I put the tyres on the apexes just to avoid cutting, which is rather obvious.

I will start making the skins soon enough because we aren't competing in any series yet I don't know when, but as we aren't racing anywhere in LFS yet, I have good time to prepare the skins.
