Rules:

We use some CRC Rules as guidelines. THESE ARE ONLY GUIDELINES but please try to follow them:


1. Incidents: If you hit another driver and gain a position advantage it is good sportsmanship to allow that driver to retake his position. We do not expect you to stop racing. Use your head, give some courtosy.

2. Defensive driving: Blocking is all part of a great race. You are allowed to block other drivers from passing you as long as:

(1) No deliberate contact is made

(2) the other driver is NOT beside you. If the driver is already beside you DO NOT force that driver off of the track.

3. Exiting pits: When exiting pits make sure that it is clear before you enter onto the racing line. Use of the track map and the look left & right keys/buttons is recommended. If cars are approaching, do NOT leave the pit lane unless you are fighting for position - Please do NOT cross the pit exit line when leaving the pits unless there is an obstruction that makes it impossible not to do so.

4. Re-entering track: If you go off the track in a race DO NOT reset the car or drive back onto the track. You could possibly ruin another race in progress. Again, you should use your map and look controls to see if anyone is coming. If you do re-enter the track safely but are too slow and drivers are getting closer behind you... drive off the racing line, or if necessary, pull off to the side of the track to give room.

5. Car Damage / Fuel: If your car gets severely damaged in an incident and you want to try and make it back to the pit lane, then, drive off the racing line to let faster cars past. If you run out of fuel get off the racing line as soon as possible or pit right away. We recommend that you turn your hazard lights on to let other players know you are a caution on the track (press 9 on your keyboard. 0 to turn them off).

6. Contact: Rubbing and tapping are all parts or everyday racing, so, this is allowed as long as it doesn't harm anyone's race or gain you an advantage. Due to occasional lag, small taps may cause a major crash, so be careful!

7. Race Rules: If you are being lapped by leaders please let them pass you, when it is safe do to so ( i.e. not in the middle of a chicane ), and as quickly as possible. You should be told by an on screen message if you are being lapped, the words “Blue Flag” will be displayed.

8. Pitting: Pitting can become dangerous if you do not pay attention. It is required that you drive in the 'pit lane' used to enter and exit the pits. Don't drive straight across every pit box, instead go to the furthest available pitbox. - This will allow more drivers to pit safely on the same lap(s)

9. Deliberate Corner Cutting: Deliberate Corner cutting is not liked. Please dont do it.


**NOTE: As this is not a CRC Event some of the above rules are flexible and are meant as guidelines only. We DO expect all participents to follow these guidelines as if the way you drove had consequences in real life.

If a driver who has entered the race is unable to attend on the day it is upto THAT DRIVER to find a replacement to drive for him and to let ATC Franky500 know about the change as soon as it is known. (e-mail: [email protected]). If the driver is unable to find a replacement then a reserve driver will be given the space.

All results and replays will be posted on the ATC Team website within 72 hours of the race. Please feel free to post your own race reports in a thread which will be provided on the day.

You're right, it's 1 hour and 50 minutes or so... Hadn't thought of that yet. Ah well, the last on was 1h30 (BL, XFG) and I managed that OK

Ok, ok, persuaded, I'm in.

There is alot more to english then... well. english....

French, for instance.

Albeit you have to apologise for using it

Damn, that was a disaster for me. I was having a nice fight with Dadge and keeping up reasonably well wil the BN guys when this omnibob (whas that his name?) character re-entered the track rather stupidly, tapping Dadge and sending me into the wall. Having to pit in lap 16 really screwed up my strategy, but I usually don't quit a race so I held in there.

However, I couldn't really get back in my rhythm with no-one close to me to race and when my tyre popped in lap 32 or so because I had to do a longer stint than planned, I didn't feel like limping back to the pit anymore.

Too bad, but I'll be there again next time, hopefully without loonies on track.

Cheers,

for the small number of people this time it was more fun then i was expecting.. i gave that omnibob the benifit of the doubt at first.. in the end had to kick him.. (first time ever that i know of...)

I had alot of silly mistakes just catching the grass in the wrong place ect... Was still good fun. the race in 3 weeks time should be better i hope...

I had a fine race. Spend some 30 laps racing myself but the rest was plain brilliant. At this point great respect towards Dadge. Great driving! Extremely clean!
Because of the battle with Dadge for position 4 I nearly popped my tyres. I had to drive 1:54ers in the last two rounds.
And well - Gogo: Thanks for the third place.

Vain

yeah vain, was fun. omnibob smashed into me so my stops were 3 laps early every time. but on both occasions you got infront was fun racing you. i kept catching you in all the wrong places lol, but that was down to your great driving. hope to see you in the next one.
bsbvanliet, we were having a good battle too, just means it's on for the next time

great race all

That was my first "proper" race on LFS. up til now ive just done the 5 or 10 lap sprint races.

it was great fun, i really enjoyed it, even though at the end i had terrible cramps in my leg and foot!

there was some close racing at times, which was fun.........i'm just so glad that at last ive raced with pitting and a decent distance.........

i hope to make each race, but as i work strange hours i cant say for certain................you guys might not even want me back! lol

congrats again to quicksilver on your win, you live up to your name!

see you all again on track soon.

Hey grady,

Nice to hear you had fun. I passed you a few times after I crashed (), I was quite a bit faster. However, passing you never resulted in a dangerous situation, even with the big speed difference between us and the fact you had every right to defend your position.

Keep practising, I hope to see you around!
