So has anything changed with the track/graphics/physics since Rockingham was back first spotted back in 2009?

Masters of Endurance concluded its five round season on iRacing with the 6 hours of Bathurst. Coanda Simsport won the race, but it was ineX Racing who claimed the championship thanks to their consistent podium finishes. Full standings: http://mastersofendurance.net/standings

I forgot to post the broadcast link in here on Saturday, but you can watch it all again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLoheDmsRfg&index=7&list=PL5_eqEiJnYs8wdFqwwiYk3Nu3vknIMiH2

Couldn't be arsed creating a new thread, but I noticed LFS was on the front page of reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/2s8mgk/this_is_why_its_important_to_look_at_the_minimap/

Well you definitely not with that attitude... do some MX-5 or Solstice races at Charlotte instead. Or some more practice and get nearer the front with a qualifying time that isn't 8 seconds off the pole...

Buying the 3 tracks will be $40, plus the car your team is driving - though if you get the RUF you can also use the C-spec version in 2 other series as well.

A shame you missed the recent $49/year offer. We're using popular tracks that you'd probably buy and are well used in the rest of iRacing so it's not like you're wasting money.

Not sure who you're planning on getting to run a GT2 league given NDR, GenR and others aren't doing leagues anymore...

If you still want to get your fix of Masters of Endurance this year, the first two iRacing races are on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/mastersofendurance

Next round is the 24 hours of Spa on 10th January 2015.

They are consistent corner to corner - go 4 wheels over the white line and you'll get the 1x that you deserve. The actual off-track limit seems to be the outside edge of the kerb, so if you put the centreline of your car over that you're going to get a 1x.

Problem is it's a 19 turn track but so many of them are difficult corners where you can push too hard, run wide and rack up incidents.

But if you can find a corner at Spa where you get a 1x without going 4 wheels over the white line, please post a screenshot.

Plus when was the last time you went to a completely new track in LFS, in a difficult car and did some laps anywhere near the WR time..?

There's now two setups for Laguna Seca in the setup shop: http://members.iracing.com/jforum/posts/list/3255180.page You could also use one for another track that you think might suit, and go from there.

So that'll be 5 GT3 cars racing against each other "soon". Need to get JJ72 to recreate the Craft Bamboo skin in iRacing!

Why do we even suddenly need to talk about track limits. It's not like we race any carpark circuits in LFS.

Didn't you hear, we're now running to MSA rules on track limits in LFS http://www.msauk.org/uploadedfiles/msa_forms/track_limits.pdf

A guy called Jason Dunnington left ISR (didn't even know he was on the show), and someone posted a video of his new channel under the thread name "ISR's latest casualty". That's referring to Shaun Cole having left the show previously.

Cue some comments, I think Emptybox replied and then Darin sent him those PMs in the video. Thread gets locked, more threads get posted and deleted, Darin continues to make unprofessional comments, everyone kinda trolls him - and then the Emptybox video gets posted.

tl;dr: Darin's lost it (or did he ever have it?).

Let's play, "you are the ref": the defender in white fouls the attacker in blue running through on goal - what colour of card do you give...?

Quote from MadCatX :

I'm sorry to report that the update doesn't seem to fix the problem. The upper bar seems to behave a bit better when I zoom in but there is still no left/right scrollbar when the content doesn't fit into the window. Easiest way to reproduce this is to just zoom in - it breaks even in desktop Firefox.

Just tried zooming in and I see what you mean. For some reason the css has overflow-x:hidden applied to the body which removes the horizontal scrollbar, removing this property brings it back.

Well responsive web design as a term/philosophy has been around for 4 years and has over 30million google results so not sure you're going to get them to change the name But anyway...

I know all the smileys but the link to the page listing them all has gone

Stick to what you're best at Scawen :P

You have to admit it's a bit strange, on the fastest reacting, most responsive forum I have ever seen, to see people keep saying, "you could have made it responsive".

It would be like driving a racing car that is really fast, and someone saying, "Why didn't you make it fast" and then when you are totally confused, explaining that "fast" means that there is a quick release on a brake pad. Luckily automotive engineers didn't come up with such a stupid use of the word "fast".

Well if the site was "slow" I would have said so. But to be honest I forgot that you now look at the forum regularly - the post was more for Victor and Flame! (I would insert a smiley here but I don't know how to on the new design...)

However on the subject of website speed, all of the PNG images should probably be run through tinypng.com and gzip enabled on the css and js. The newspic2a/b/c images are also 200px larger than they need to be.
The blue on dark grey in the homepage H3 does not meet WCAG guidelines for colour contrast (good tool available at http://snook.ca/technical/colour_contrast/colour.html)

The other annoying thing is the dark background between each post - think it would look better either with more padding inside each post or with a #F0F0F0 background: https://i.imgur.com/JdSc3qj.jpg

I'd be interested in knowing the non-desktop usage stats for LFS sites...

Bit of a shame, you go to all that trouble of a new design and don't even make it responsive...

You obviously didn't bother to read what I said, so I'll repeat it. You can get to class B (or A) without buying any content!

Plan for getting to class A, oval:

• Do rookie Street stock races (preferably at Charlotte as it's easier to gain SR)
  
• Get to D 4.0 by week 7 (currently week 3)
  
• Do 4 races/TT in the class C Street stock series (you will be promoted to class C)
  
• Do 4 more races/TTs, then get your SR back up to C 4.0 (you will be promoted to class B)
  
• Use week 10 to do more races in the street stock to get your SR up to B 4.0
  
• By this point, it will be season 4, therefore buy tracks from the new schedule

Quote from chanoman315 :

Recently I have been interested on Oval racing, I got promoted to D License but in order to race in the series I want (B License), I have to spend 272 dollars.

What cars/tracks would you have to buy? Because to run in class B, all you would need to do is get your SR to D 4.0, run races/TTs at South Boston during week 7 in the class C Street Stocks, and get your SR back up to C 4.0. At that point, work out the most used oval tracks and buy those...

You can get participation credits from class D, but D/C is $4, and B/A series are $7 - up a maximum of $10 total per season. Of course, you need to buy some tracks first, as you must do 8 of the 12 weeks in a series to get the credits.

I've attached the schedule. Currently, class D series have 3 or 4 free tracks in them, so by buying 6 of the most used tracks you could probably cover the other 4 weeks needed to get credits. E.g. Watkins Glen, Spa, Sebring etc.

If you want to get to class A (not sure why, unless you really want to drive the FW31 in official sessions and get a Pro licence), it's easy to do. Once you get to class D there's 3 series using free cars, then simply get up to C 4.0 and you can drive class B.

I'd suggest signing up with the free 3 month trial which ends in October, to take you well past black Friday: http://www.iracing.com/nurburgring1000/

Yeah I'm not sure even 200kg on the HPD 2010 P2 would make it slow enough...

And at the moment we can't have multiple cars in a class in hosted, plus another endurance series is doing HPD in multiclass - so I think 3 or 4 GT3 cars is fine just now.
