• The correct lap (from your team's point of view): 245 (according to the MPR)
• The cars (/teams) involved: #88 and #81
• The lap/sector/time: Lap 245, sc3, 22:50 mark (in the MPR)
• And a short description from your point of view:
Car #81 is parked in the chicane and as #88 is about to pass, #81 rejoins the track right in front of #88, causing a spin and a substantial amount of damage to our car.

Here's the MPR:

I don't get it :l

Hopefully you're joking.

Looks like it's going to be a great broadcast. Can't wait to watch it in between stints.

Good luck to all participants!

Beast, Hugo.

Better luck next time, fellas.

Anyone who's up for making a render of this?

I love that shot by the water.

I am getting myself a Nikon D70 as a 2nd set since I'm currently using a Minolta.
Not that the Minolta is a bad camera its just slow as f*ck.
And I cant seem to keep my hand super still during long exposure shot does anyone have tricks for this?

Use a tripod.

We're still looking for help.

...
4. Wait for some months
...

Watched Moneyball (2011) a couple of days ago. Definetely worth a look.

And I agree with Mysho, Margin Call (2011) was quite good aswell.

It's round 4...

We're still looking for help.

Quote from dekojester :

We do it this way because 1) it's easier for us to do a clear and concise PM with the info needed to be kept private, and 2) Our Sporting Code states that you need to check the forum etc regularly to stay informed, so unless it's a last-minute super-urgent update, we just post about it in the round's discussion or briefing thread, and then if you miss it, it's your fault because you were supposed to check the section anyway. Simples, yeah ?

Exactly.

I have to agree with Joku on the countless PM's being sent out. And I know we aren't the only ones feeling this way.

I think I've received about 15 PM's from you and only a single round has been completed. I haven't read like the last 10 of them either, because there are so much information in each one - information that shouldn't be necessary to send out via PM's. And the fact that I received PM's about some NASCAR event that I didn't even sign up for, that doesn't help either.

Why not do it like NDR? They usually only send out a single PM before every round, containing only the most basic and important information. And as far as I'm concerned, this has worked out perfectly.

You also have to take into consideration, that this is one of the busiest months of the year for most people. I won't be able to drive any of the rounds until 2012.

Tillykke med dagen!

Quote from kiste :

good luck guys!

It is really hard to find a guy who will do a whole skinpack.

We know - but it doesn't necessarily have to be a complete skin-pack. As mentioned in the the post, all work is appreciated and will be rewarded, even if it's only a few skins.

Quote from Razvan :

We changed our number, my apologies for the inconvenience

No worries, mate.

Quote from Dominic-V :

teamName: GTS Motorsport
class: GT2
car: TBA
number: 88
drivers:
- {Dominic-V, Cosmin Popa, Romania}
- {Razvan, Razvan Radu, Romania}
- {tDiesel, Adrian Solom, Romania}
- {Ady_Romania, Andi Oita, Romania}
- {dan.bordei, Dan Bordei, Romania}
- {kitu_gudu, Daniel Moldovan, Romania}

We already took 88.

We, SAVAGE SimSports, are looking for a capable skinner who is willing to help out with a team logo and skins.

Basically we are looking for a full set of skins, including every car in Live For Speed. As we know this is a lot of work and that it will take a substantial amount of time, we will pay you for your work. The specific amount will depend on how much skins you are willing to make for us. Design-wise you will have free hands, however we do expect you to think about our name and take that into consideration. We would also like to get a few sketches before you make the first skin, so we have an idea of what it will look like.

Requirements:
- Logo is a vector graphic (for lossless resizing)
- Skin resolution must be 2048x2048 pixels
- A .psd file of every skin
- Our current sponsors has to be added to the skins

Besides this, we expect you to have a reasonable amount of skinning and/or designing experience. If you have a portfolio or something similar, where we can review your previous work, please let us know. For further details, please write in this thread or send me a private message.

Round 2 of the Super GT Series

After a succesful first round of the Super GT Series, SAVAGE SimSports was looking forward to the next round. It was time for 80 laps of Blackwood Reversed. Thomas Lönn and our newest addition to the team, Jesse Telkkälä, were set to drive.

Since the team was 3rd in the overall standings of the series, we were automatically locked in for the main sessions of the round, meaning that we could skip the qualification heat race. Jesse was qualifying for us, but unfortunately it did not go as planned and we suddenly found ourselves to be in 15th position in our class. A rather dissapointing session, but we were still confident that we would do better in the race.

Jesse was also set to do the first stint. He managed to get our car off to a safe start and quickly gained a couple of positions. He ended up fighting with the cars of Angel Power Racing and PlayerZone. In the end of his stint, Jesse got rear-ended by a GT500 car and lost control of the car and clipped an elevated curb, causing a significant amount of suspension damage to our car. Jesse headed into the pits to repair the damages, refuel and get a fresh pair of tires. Unfortunately we suffered from a mishap in the pits, trying to change our wing-settings, as only the front wing was changed. Thomas took over and did his best to tame the out-of-balance car. At this point we were in 11th and just a few seconds behind the two cars in front of us. Thomas was catching up and things finally seemed to go our way. But on lap 62, he was swiped off track by another careless GT500 car. The rest of the stint was pretty much just about survival and Thomas crossed the line in 11th place.

Overall this was a very dissapointing and frustating race.

Round 3 of the Super GT Series

Next up was the the third round, 60 laps of South City Long. Magnus Björndal and Niclas Malmgren were set to drive this round, but a few days before the race, Magnus was informed by his ISP, that his internet would be down during the weekend. Luckily Jesse was able to step in, so we wouldn’t have to back out of the round. But the night before the race, Niclas was told that his father was rushed to the hospital after having a stroke. Naturally this meant that Niclas was out of the picture and that Jesse was the only available driver. Everything was pointing towards SAVAGE SimSports having to back out of the race, but with less than three hours to race start, Reno Kööts of spdoRacing agreed to help us out and drive with Jesse.

Reno did a good job in qualifying, securing us 7th place, even though he hasn’t driven FZR for a long time.

The plan was to let Jesse start the race and then let Reno do the last part. It was quite clear that Jesse had literally no practice before the race, as he lost several positions during his stint. When Reno took over the car, we were down to 13th place. Reno started a fierce chase for better positions and when all cars had done their pitstops, Reno was already in 8th position, gaining five positions in just 20 minutes.

With 20 laps to go, Reno secured 6th place, chasing down Mafia Racing and PlayerZone. On lap 44, Mafia Racing made a mistake and made it easy for Reno to pass without a fight. On the next lap he overtook the PlayerZone car and we were up to 4th place, with LowLandLions being about 50 seconds ahead. Reno showed good pace for the rest of his stint and managed keep our 4th place safe, until he reached the checkered flag. After the race was over, we realised that we made a mistake in our strategy, as we accidentally violated the rule of maximum percentage/time driven for each individual driver; a maximum of one hour. We exceeded this rule by 4 minutes and 23 seconds and we received a -2 lap penalty, which meant that we ended up in 13th position.

Despite the penalty and lack of preparation, we are still very happy about how the race turned out. A big thanks to Reno Kööts for helping us out on such short notice. And all our best thoughts to Niclas’ father, wishing him a full and speedy recovery.
