Quote from need :

Stats from Qualifying on Server A, and race stats from both servers.

THANX mates for making this event a success
I was racing on server B and had a GREAT time with many thrilling fights.
Did a bad quali and started as nr 12 on the grid, but tonite i had really good pace and ended up on the podium as nr 3 (on B)

If there's any interest IRM will arrange "GTAL pre FUN-races" in the future too! Pls post a comment in this forum and tell us if you think this is a good idea!

Once again IRM want's to thank all the drivers anticipating in the event tonight

28 drivers signed up at the moment
But there's still room for additional 32 drivers (2 servers = 60 drivers) so don't hesitate if u wanna be a part of this event! Don't miss the opportunity to challenge those sturdy :crown: Swedish drivers at the FUN-race at South City on monday!
If you wanna meet us before race day i recomend you to practise at "Torsdagsrace A" (no password required at practice days)!

Torsdagsrace på måndagen illepall

Yepp, because we dont wanna have a bunch of drunk drivers on the track!
:drink:
Soth city city council did not permit us to race on Thursday, they though it was to dangerous having 32 crazy drunk drivers on the track, all of them with a bottle of champagne in the passenger seat
SO City Police will enforce that there will be no drinking on track, so u better shape up before u leave pit guys

Im in for sure :-) This will be FUN!
The swedish signup thread is finally up friends ... i slept while Cawwa made this english thread
Don't be scared to visit the Swedish thread, it should show up in english lang if youre not familiar with our strange language

Also note that this is a individual race, no driver switch. You are also allowed to telepit during qualification.
We wanna have South City crowded with cars so tell your teammates to join this event as well

omg ... 19 cars ... 70% of the starting grid! :sick: hmmm ...........
3 hrs endurance is not a a single hotlap race ... and as i recall from the live broadcast u drove the SC one extra lap to get a clean start ...
Think all teams anticipating in this league should have a serious briefing regarding how to act on first lap ... not fair to be taken out on lap1 in a 3hr race

Quote from Jakg :

... What about cars - should you run the bloody race?
...
it certainly shouldnt be a place to bitch and moan because the basic art of car control is "too hard". I assume that you also drive UF1's because more than 55 BHP is "too hard" for inexperienced drivers? ...

Life is not perfect, LFS is not ... but how fun/interesting is LIFE if u remove all the "random" stuff ...
Personally I'm waiting for random weather on LFS ... will be GREAT if it starts to rain in an 3 hr race ... endurance is not about hotlaping friends

I can't see any meaning with having a guest team!
They are only occupying a spot from a team that might learn a LOT MORE having the chance to anticipate in this league ... than the team already in will learn from the guest team!
Viewed the broadcast today ... and IMO the the guest team didn't add anything at all to the race ... i would say they did the opposite!

Skip the guest team ASAP pls, and give room for a upcoming team on the grid

If u wanna do hotlapping there are other servers avaliable ... GTAL is about realistic endurance racing and of course there should be wind then ... or are we racing on the moon

Just LOL reading posts stating there sets are not made for wind!
Wake up mates, this is a league for grown ups

Quote from ivantod :

someone from the audience throw a concrete block on your car

OMG .. that was a good one ... might be some huligans hanging around in Blackpool ...
Well, u never know these days where the virtual world ends and the IRL world starts

I've got the impression this is a very serious league, so I got very surprised reading that a team send in a driver that hadn't done any testing and training with the car and set the team used ... ok, obviously it was a "ForceMajouer" situation, but ... ...

Quote from J@tko :

It does. When deko [or whoever] presses "Green Flag", it comes up as an rcm on screen AND as a message in chat. However, mpr's don't save those messages therefore you can't see it in the replay

Well i thought so, thanx for confirming!
But maybe, as sugested, those kind of messages should go to the chat as well at the same time, then avoiding replays confusions AND avoiding a Yellow Flag "hiding" Green flag on the screen!
Well ...
Strange then seeing drivers overtaking under SC conditions
IMO drivers are supposed to read the rules before they join this event, and by reading I mean not scrolling rules during 30 secs! No way u can miss that rule if you take GTAL seriously ... also surpised me a lot at the start seeing 2:nd grid driver overtaking the pole holder way before the starting line ...

Quote from Cawwa :

Sugested change in the rolling start rules:
VIII. Race Procedures
... and the front row must be on the pitlane speedlimiter until the marked point. When the front row have passed the marked point they release the pitlimiter and slowly accelerate waiting for the green.
...
I also suggest the following: No passes in the same file is allowed before the start/finish line.
...
The front row should have the advantage to descide when to go. As it was now they got the disadvantage.
But as the 7karat driver points out, nothing could happen if passing wasn't allowed before the s/f line. (Nascar style)

Agree 100% with my teammate Cawwa!

I also think the greenflag should be "shouted out" in the chat so there's no room for misunderstandings or "hidden green flag behind a yellow flag"

Watching the replay I also noticed there were a lot of confusion regarding the SC. I can't see any notice on the screen stating the race is under SC conditions .. or is that screenmsg not visible in the replay? illepall
There were a lot of confusions at the back of the safety car, when cars catching up the line-up started to pass them, not realising SC was at the very begininning of the line up!

Hopefully IRM will get a chance to compete with u guys already in the league, we're still on waiting list ... :eclipsee_

Quote from Maelstrom :

I had to unlock the game afer I patched it!Is it normal?

The new sounds are just great! Well i don't see much improvement with the road cars but the others are fantastics!

Same for me ... guess it's normal

You have to push Shift-A after you have typed /edit_eng. Add that to your install notes or be prepared for 10 questions about how you use the sounds.

Is is possible to make something like this? ( SCR22.JPG )

Quote from HenWee :

That is some sweeeeet add-on!!!
Not too crazy about the angle meter, but the G-Meter is too good for words.
Is it possible have the mod with only the G-Meter?

Great work

Same here, I really want a G-Meter, a graded G-Meter.

test

LFS is great, best online racing game for sure!
Of course i'm fully licensed ... but im an periodical LFS-oholic player, meaning when i play, i play heavily, then i'm away for a long period!
So i think its not bad having nearly 1000 online players tonite, since i think most of the licensed players are like me!
Next period will be during this Christmas.NewYear-holliday!

See U online then guys
