Use the following BBCode in your signature to get your CTRA licence userbar your signature on the LFS forum:-

[ctra]UserName[/ctra]

To display your CTRA userbar on other BBCode forums, use the following image tag:-

[img]http://userbar.raceauthority.com/UserName[/img]

To display a minibar, insert "mini/" before your username. Eg:-

[ctra]mini/UserName[/ctra] (LFS forum)

UPDATE - 12 Aug 2007: Licence bars for individual licences are now available. If you have a space in your name, you will need to replace it with a + symbol.

[ctra]ss/mini/UserName[/ctra]

[ctra]ss/UserName[/ctra]

[ctra]ctra/mini/UserName[/ctra]

[ctra]ctra/UserName[/ctra]

[ctra]bnj/mini/UserName[/ctra]

[ctra]bnj/UserName[/ctra]

To show your support for the STCC league, you can also add the STCC userbar as follows:

[ctra]stcc/UserName[/ctra]

UPDATE: 14th August 2007 - You can now use [ctra]random/UserName[/ctra] and a random licence minibar will be displayed.
If you wish to show userbars for ALL your CTRA licences, please consider using this option rather than displaying all your userbars in your LFSForum signature.
NOTE:- Replace any spaces in your LFS username with a +. Eg: [ctra]ss/mini/Dustin+Dawes[/ctra]

This is a guide on how to write a good report. If you want to know exactly how to use the reporting system to make sure you're giving the right information (and therefore giving us something we can take action on!) then please read.

The system has recently been changed - you can enter and store your report, but you must go to MYCTRA to hit the Submit link. The guide will take you through this.

After a thread asking this very question, the pronunciation internally is see-tea-arr-ay, i.e. the letters said individually.

A more graphical representation was given by Lateralus here. (thanks!)

Now, how you pronounce his name is an entirely different kettle of fish, and it's nothing to do with us.

The statistics have been gathered over a fairly long period of time. As time has gone on we have started tracking new stats as new data became available / we saw the opportunity.

This means that some of the stats have been collected from the start of CTRA, some have been collected from part way through. The stats are provided on a mostly "for fun" basis, and although it may be looked at in the future it'll stay as-is for now.

There are a great many factors taken into consideration when awarding points. We haven't and don't plan to make the algorythm public, but to give you a bit of an idea, the following factors are considerations:

Did you race from the start, or join later?
Did you finish the race on the lead lap, or one or more laps down?
Did you cause an obstruction frequently in the race?
How many people took part in the race?
How close did you get to the lap record for the car/track combination?
What licence level are you at?
What licence level is the server?
How many laps was the race?

There are other factors as well, but this summary should give you an idea of the complexity of the points calculation
