Something we noticed last night during some setup work was, If you have previously run the newest test patch that has ABS included. When or if you do a new install and run your set from the test patch ABS will still be activated even though it doesn't show up in your pit commands.

Hahahaha You have to live in Canada to really get that one.
Those hinterland things run on all our Public broadcast stations all the time.

Quote from Ori :

Actually wanted to wait with this until end of CART season but now the attention is better:

How about a purely oval series?

I don't understad why there has been none until now - or have i missed anything?

You've missed this! 5 out of 8 races are Oval. 2 at KY1, 1 KY1R, and 2 short track Ovals.

Check it out.

Quote from Knight_Atack :

Just a few minor things. Stats for the first race have still not been posted here nor on the LOTA site. This would be a good start.

Also, the event took long (longer than planned). We still had a number of delays that I hope will eventually be fixed by staying on schedule. Apart from that, it was mostly fun.

Results and stats are being worked on today. As for the start time issue. This is the only race that had that wierd start time in the schedule page for some reason.
So all following races will start on time I hate being late for anything!!!!

Thanks for the comments. Todd

Quote from dekojester :

I'm going to be perfectly honest here.

All this whining, complaining, arguing, and whatever else you want to call it is just purely silly. I'm sorry, this is all pissing me off. I pretty much thought that everyone drove like crap on Saturday. EVERYONE did at least one thing wrong. Everyone hit something or someone else during the day. The Safety car is the only thing that I think didn't get hit by anyone. What I saw on track, a lot of it, was not something I'd want the over 500 some odd viewers we had to see. It was abysmal.

Now I have to spend more of my time going through every person's race, to get everything we missed. Because of this, the results are HIGHLY provisional. I'm sorry, but I was not happy with the race, I was disappointed in the quality of driving shown from almost every driver, from those with little experience to those with the most. Way too much stuff that was uncalled for. I found it quite appalling.

A still not happy dekojester.

You guys better watch out!!!!

Deko will release his killer Crickets soon

Race #1 Post Race thoughts, suggestions?

This is not a penalty thread!! To lodge a complaint or Protest against another driver, do so on the LOTA Protests section found HERE. Do not post about issues with other racers.

This thread is for constructive criticism of the series, and suggestions to improve it.

The only problem I have with it is some people can get away with it lag wise and others can't. So it comes down to connection speed between people as to who can bumpdraft safely or not.
This makes races somewhat unfair. The only way to get around this is to either say you can or can't bumpdraft in your league rules.

Quote from troy :

And what's wrong with that? Everybody wants to win, and nobody is forced to make space on the inside, it was clear (at least to me) that they will take the inside line for the last turn (who wouldn't to be honest, after all it's the finish of a 3h long race and you've got the chance to win). Vecchioni tries to force his way through and gets caught out, his fault, unlucky, but still his own fault it's the last lap for god's sake nobody would open that line there (unless you're on an FM powered oval, they've got different rules there, which is fine of course).

Exactly!!!!

Its a race not a friendly Sunday drive. Unless your being lapped there are no rules about which side you have to pass on, or needing to leave a line open. That's just foolish thinking. Of course Phil is going to stay behind Nolan and they are going to finish 1-2 if they can. That's the point of teams!!! It is the same in all motor sports. I'm sure Phil was going to try and pass Nolan BUT....he was going to make sure you didn't pass him first.

How could anyone think differently?
Great race to watch. Thanks for all the hard work you guys put into it. It really shows!!!!!!!!

PS: Way to go HaVoc!! (K. Meyer) Bump & Jumper my ass

:bowdown::wow::woohoo:Super nice as usual Niels!!!

Quote from TFalke55 :

that's great for some reason... by the way, shall I post my skin in the LOTA-Forums somewhere?

EDIT: and thoug I'm available in all events now, It lists me under "unavailable drivers"
EDIT2: forget what I asked about the skins

You can post a preveiw in the XSCC skins section here. So the Admins can check that it complies with the theme for the series.

Thanks Todd

Dates for the races edited in the first post.

Please check for your availibility and change your status on LOTA site if needed.

Quote from scotty2888 :

I hope this is the right place to post this.

Is there a race today/tonight? if so have the PMs been sent cause I haven't recieved one.

You are responsible for knowing when you are racing. Sorry M8 but we are not sending out PM's to everyone to let them know when they signed up for a race. Thats your job

Quote from hansonator69 :

I have never used ventrilo but i have used teamspeak so its generally the same thing?

It is like Teamspeak....BUT way better quality. Ventrillo sounds better than your home phone.

Quote from scania :

Is is possible to race in Saturday?
Because it is Monday for me now.....

Sorry no. The schedule is set for Sundays.

Quote from farcar :

Well, I've given rfactor Historix Mod a good deal of time and effort over the last week or more. I've consulted numerous forums, downloaded real feel and tweaked my ini files extensively. With my passion for historic motorsport I really, really want to love it.......

But I just dont.

The sound and the graphics are fine, the reason is that I just don't feel the car on the road, and I don't realise I'm losing control until I've already lost it. More often than not, it's the rear end stepping out entering corners. Yes, with extensive practice and effort, I can learn not to make it happen by making sure my braking and entry speed are exact every time, but I don't want that. What I want is to feel what my car is doing on the road.

LFS does it for me (as did GPL), but not rfactor so far. Any tips or suggestions to get more 'feeling' out of this sim, I'm more than willing to listen to.

Hey M8

Pop on either RSR forums or Deadmen racing. We are both running the HistorX Mod lots and we are loving the feel. Read the info thats already posted on Deadmen and see if it helps. On our team Boogle is by far the wheel setup master so pop over and send him a PM.

I'm sure he would be happy to help
