I'm getting that one as well, would be nice to see some laptimes on the LCD display 
Just stepping in to say Hello
I liked the UKLFS rules actually, even the schedule and times were pretty good. So tuesdays around 7 or 8 GMT would be the best for me. Mondays, wednesdays and fridays are my rl sport evenings (soccer/swimming) and at thursdays I'm participating in the LFS.NL.1 league (tho that's every other week, so this could be planned around it).
Thanks for your effort Josh trying to make this league work, I hope it does!
cheers,

cheers,
exactly, that's what I was thinking! I've much respect for your patience for this, very cool track maps!
The stats are coming in right now, I'll post those in a minute
edit: here they are. Unfortunately, the stats of the feature race are a bit weird, dunno what happened there, maybe because of VIP's d/c. The final results are ok though afaik
Sprint race: stats replay
Feature race: stats replay
===================================================
Qualifying
This was by far my least well prepared qualification as I had focused mostly cooling my tires for the race setup. It turned out to be ok, was 0.5 sec slower than my PB, claiming the 7th spot on the grid (1:16.7x).
Sprint race
First off all I'd like to thank all racers for starting that clean, awesome! I was on the inside in the first corner and that turned out to be the wrong place to be, Samiad could overtake me there. My R2's (lol) needed quite some time to heat up, so I lost valuable time in the first few laps. Samiad, Bob and Xero were easily increasing the gap between me and them. But once the heat was in the tires I could close in on Samiad. Eventually I overtook him at the end of the start-finish straight Slowly I started to close in on Bob and Xero as well, but 16 laps were a tad too short for me to really place an attack. End result, 5th. The stats show how close the 3rd place was, only a few seconds between 3rd and 5th, now that's close racing!
Feature race
Since my R2's were holding the pace that well, I opted not to change them during my pit stop, and that almost paid out. The start of the race was clean again and I was able to keep my fifth position this time. For a change I was running behind Bob and Xero again *lol*, and after I got some heat in the tires I could make up the gap a little. If only I didn't make a silly mistake in the fast left-hander after the chicane. Got a bit of damage there, which effectively ruined my pit strategy. Got in the pits on lap 17, saw Xero in the pits (he must have been damaged as well as it was taking quite some time). Bob could pass him during the pitstops. I got out of the pits just behind Xero. Xero and I were closing in on Bob and unfortunately for Bob, he spun going uphill after the hairpin leaving the third spot to Xero and the fourth spot to me. After VIP got disconnected
final result was 3rd! Second podium this season
congrats to VIP and Law, both raced excellent! And thanks to Xero, Bob and Samiad for the fights, this race rocked!
And ...
well, err, this was the last race for me in this championship. Sorry lads, I'm going on holiday next saturday for two weeks so I can't participate in the remainder of the series. It's a shame really, you guys are fast and fun to race with. I really hope we'll see each other again in the next season or in another league. Nevertheless, all the best in the remainder in the series. Oh, and please don't stop because you think you make too much mistakes. Try to learn from them and take it easier next time, be gentle for that pedal
Cheers!

Reason : added stats and mpr
actually, I was getting a bit worried about my pace last night, lol. Got the setup to a point where it lasts *just*, but I'm wondering wether it's fast enough. Oh well, we'll see tonight. Gotta get some practice runs in as well, I'll practice blocking my tailfollowers (that is if there are any)
hehe, it's gonna be quite a midfield then I guess. Haven't been able to get some good practice runs here, so this race will be tricky ... Though mid 16's to low 17's should be possible during the race
Though mid 16's to low 17's should be possible during the raceI guess it's a race incident, Tristan should have been a bit more to the inside, he slid a bit wide and you should have given him a bit more room. But hey, that's the price to pay for close racing!
thanks for the kudos for the stats lads, my pleasure
Couldn't agree more, it was great racing last night!
btw, you handled that slide very well, fun to watch Actually I did, I'll upload it this evening when I get home.

ok, the unofficial results (stats from the race) and the replays
Sprint race: stats replay
Feature race: stats replay
my thoughts on the race will follow shortly ...
edit: here they are:
qualify
for the second time in the league I drove a PB right on time, in the qualifying runs! Got 4 tenths off my best time till then, finally breaking that magic 1:50 barrier. It was good enough for the fourth spot on the grid for the sprint race.
sprint race
had a nice start and was fighting with Bob for the fourth position. He passed me on the backstretch but I was able to use his slipstream to overtake him again. We touched lightly in the following righthander, he said it was a 'Montoya move' of me (ok ok, a little wide there, but what were you doing on my tail there? ) causing Bob to loose a bit of ground. After that I could consolidate, no chance to get VIP UA or LawVS and Bob couldn't get close enough to make a move. As Tristan lost the lead and quite some places it meant my first podium in the league!
feature race
interesting start of the race. I was far too cautious and lost a few places. I was down to sixth eventually in the second lap. However, Bob, Tristan and Xero had their own share of bad luck, leaving me racing Tagforce (again) for the fourth position in the first half of the race. Times were pretty much the same, which made for some cool racing. His pitstop was much better, as he didn't change his tires and that turned out to be a good move! I came back on track just before Tristan, but he made a few errors and left the race. CMU was getting close in the mean time, even overtaking me (great move CMU!) but eventually I could pass him on the straight again and consolidated the remainder of the race. Final spot, fourth!
Thanks racers, cya all next week in the City!

Qualify
after practicing with a lot of fuel on board for the race, the qualifying fuel load gave me wings it seemed. The first stints of three laps weren't too good, I only managed a 1:10.7x. It got a bit better in stint 4, 1:10.3x. But the last stint was awesome. I just beated the flag, so the last lap had to count! And it did, drove my PB of 1:09.74 there, just beating Tristans' time for place 4 on the grid!
Round 1
Well, I guess I opened the bottle of champagne too soon. The race started terrible. I couldn't get the heat in the tires the first few laps, so in lap 2 in the chicane I kissed the wall, rubbing off quite some speed. Lost a few places but managed to get in the slipstream of nr 6 on the straight. Went in his gearbox through the righthander but lost the car due to loss of downforce in the S-turns. I rejoined the race in 12th position. A damaged car, but finally found the pace. So making my way through the field to finish 7th eventually. Not bad considering all the mistakes in the start of the race.
Round 2
Started off 7th in a uneventfull race for me. It was interesting to see how close the times were. I was following no 3 and 4 but had troubles closing the gap, it decreased very slowly. I changed the pit strategy a little bit as I used less fuel than expected. After the stops I raced TagForce for the 4th position until he made a mistake in the chicane leaving the 4th position to me. Too bad Tag, I'm sure we would have a great fight in the end ...
all in all it were very nice races. See ya all next week at Aston!
