Great racing everyone !!!
Xtian and myself had some good races going on several times... great stuff bro !!!
Just be careful entering & exiting pitlane, if you get turned sideways or end up on your rollbar, the reset won't do you any good in most cases. And also be careful not to cross the pit exit line when you leave the pits.

Yes, that was a fun evening! I had almost forgotten how much fun these little cars can be. I'm guilty as charged..! Will remember next time.

yes very exciting battles on a short track with very dynamic cars. sometimes you pass a car on your left and before you're done he passed you back on the right. not far from the perfect formula if you ask me (3X10 with pit stop, action all the time) @scat; after I hit you at the back and saw that you didn't call for pacecar, I tried to give you a gentle push away from the wall. it worked but I found myself stuck instead

hey guys, had some great fun; seems like you all enjoyed me setup if i'm not mistaking.
what i saw was people entering the pit to late; and thus crossing the pit entry lines, isn't that forbidden as well (that's why i asked for a drive trough)

The rules state that it is just when leaving the pits. 11.2 Crossing the white or yellow lines when leaving the pit lane: adding 20 seconds on your finishing time. xtian: I was trying to see if I could bump myself back far enough to continue without calling for the SC, but I couldn't get the car to roll back enough. I should have called the SC instead of getting you stuck also.

In LFS we make one exception on that rule and that is the oval, where it is to dangerous to enter the pit entrance by crossing the entry lines.

Yeah that was fun! Some major mistakes by me (n00by pit strategy + a silly spin +++) but nevertheless, that was FUN!! I love the concept with multiple short races w/reversed grids rather than just one long enduro.

was indeed one of the best races we had !!! And I must say a lot of clean battles.. I also love the short stints, the reverse starts and of course the Safety car procedure that brings back the action to the race.. I love the mid race restarts.
Thanks again Towz-T for nice battle. But would like to know if I have to put energy in a complaint of overtaking under yellow. The overtaking maneuver of you an me in the pits under yellow.

the pit manoevre under SC still has a few blank spots. imagine two cars pitting at the same time one after the other. first one has some damages to repair, second one just made a stop and go. It wouldn't be logical that the second one would have to WAIT untill the first one has all its damages done would it ? then if doesn't wait and go back to the race while car #1 is bieng repaired, is it considered passing under yellow ?

this is where SC situation and overtaking under yellow during pits visit. www.liveforspeed.be/media/video/Race5_2_3_pitstop_s.wmvYou will see me in front of Towz-T entering the pits, just when I leave the box, we get a SC call, I speed up and passes Towz-T-.. We do have a yellow situation so no overtaking, but I don't know how long Towz-T will be standing there. For all I know he can have damage and can stand there 30 seconds. So I don't slow down not to pass him..and eu... I have never seen in real races where all the others wait until the other exits his box even under yellow.. would be a ridicules view . But as I have passed him towz-T exits his pits and overtakes me again in the pitlane. and that was not only dangerous (pit crew should not have released him ). it is forbidden of course to overtake in pitlane. That is why I called Towz-T to give me the position back.. It all went very fast and no harm was done. and we had one hell of a fight during the next 6 laps ... Really great driving from Towz-T.. and eu eu myself for once if I may say so
