Helllo everyone! I've been enjoying LFS more and more ever since I got it. Recently I've been thinking about maybe starting to race in the CTRA. (For those who don't know what CTRA is, I recommend reading their website.) The CTRARace1 server is open for everyone, and there are usually lots of racers on it 24/7. I was thinking I might go there sometimes to get even more racing practice. Is any of you guys active in the CTRA? I'm wondering if some of you are interested in racing together on the CTRARace1 every once in a while? I figured it might be more fun if we do it together. But I'd like to stress that I do not in any way suggest this as an alternative to the BSR -- more like complementary thing. I'm thinking that some extra racing practice can't hurt, can it? But of course, practicing, test races and races in the BSR league must at all times be our first priority!! Before going on the server, I guess whoever is interested might want to practice offline a little to get used to the tracks and cars. (at least I want to) The CTRARace1 server uses the following tracks with the XFG and XRG: BL1_Standard SO1_Standard SO5_Standard SO6_Standard FE1_Standard FE2_Standard BL1R_Standard SO1R_Standard SO5R_Standard SO6R_Standard FE1R_Standard FE2R_Standard So what I propose is this: those who are interested in trying out the CTRA server post in this thread, and then those who are interested do some practicing offline with the above mentioned tracks so that we get sort of used to them and prepare for online racing. Then maybe in a few weeks we agree on some times to meet online (for example, tuesdays + thursdays at 8 PM CET or whatever) and go racing. Then of course we should cooperate on making setups, discussing tactics and all that. Would anyone be interested in something like this? If so, drop a line below, and we'll talk about it. I think it could be fun.

Yeps Gnomie,
We were thinking of participate with a BSR team to foreign leagues after our ROC. And with the only purpose to promote the BSR league. So I was thinking to build a BSR Team that all drive with the same skin (I hope Xtian can help us out ther with the different numbers).
The frequence to compete should not be higher then 1/mounth and the date for nex race well know in advance so I manage my verry bussy life.
So if it is competing with a BSR team, I would love to race on the other servers or competitions.
But don't mistake... At the BSR league we don't drive in team format and I don't give presents to for excample Sennaboy. When driving on other servers I would let Sennaboy pass me because I know he is mutch faster me ..Thant is the difference
Would like to drive in other competions with a BSR Team:
1. Hanziboy

Do you have any particular leagues in mind? I'd be interested in this! Would like to drive in other competions with a BSR Team: 1. Hanziboy 2. Gnomie So I guess we'll await the situation and see what comes out of it. In the mean time, I'll practice the CTRA tracks a little and post here before going online in case someone wants to join me for some extra practice and fun.

[/quote] It is not neccesary to post it here. We have the Sywix tool ;D ;D There you can always see where other members of our league ar driving to join him. If you install "Join2LFS" you even do not have to remember the server. Just click onthe server and your up to the correct server. Cu on track !

I'm tempted to do this, but I don't think I'm good enough. And I don't know when the races would be held, it might conflict with something else. I just don't know.

I haven't done all cars yet (still got to adapt the skin to single seaters who generally are a massive P.I.A ) anyone who want the current skin without number or want to add a particular number on his car, email me at pazo*at*skynet.be. I'll do that first thing next time i fall out of bed at 4 am for the rest, as mentionned, I won't have time to join any league other than BSR.

This looks very interesting but i'll pass. In winter i have enough time to do this kind of things but in summer i just don't have enough free time due to my line of work. So better for me is not to make any promises regarding these races. However, if you guys are thinking about joining a 24 hour race in BSR colors you can always ask me to drive a few stints. I'll be happy to make myself free for that day.

I had a quick go on the CTRA1 server today on SO Town. There were only like 10-12 players on the server. In the second race we were five racers who stuck together like glue for the whole 7 laps. Ver intenste. But the best part is that in the third race, I won!! AND I had the best laptime of the whole field. Now I'm already 29% on my way to unlocking the next server. This is really good fun, I recommend you to have a go! The setup I'm using for the XRG is extremely well balanced, I got it from some other dude yesterday. Here it is, in case you're interested. This is very good fun! The quality of racers is very good, and they are extremely consistent.

Do you have to register at the CTRA site before joining the CTRA1 server?
edit: I guess I won't be joining since they don't allow auto transmission. I know it's on the CTRA2 server, but I can't physically use manual tranny. I really wish I could, but I can't.
CTRA RACE 2 Entry: TBO - Silver Entry: LRF - Silver This is where the newly-balanced* FXO, RB4 and XRT, and the LRF Class (LX6, RAC & FZ50) compete. We have relaxed the drivers' aids rules a little, though naturally autogears will never be an option. To race TBO or LRF on Race2, a Silver CTRA licence is required.

I don't think you need to use manual transmission on the CTRA1 server, although I never tried, so I can't be sure. But you don't need to register anywhere to play on the server, so all you need to do is to just simply join some time and give it a go. I don't think you'd regret it!

I've got my Bronze licence now! It only took a week, so I'm optimistic about getting my Silver licence soon too. Then I'll get access to the Race 2 server. Can't wait! It's very fun and challenging to race here. And I think I'm definitely learning lots about racecraft, and hopefully I'll be able to carry this with me into the BSR league too.

Hey Gnomie, I sent a pm to SamH (one of the admins at CTRA) and asked him if I could use auto-gears on the CTRA server. I explained my situation to him about me being disabled in the pm. He replied and said that I would be put on their list of drivers allowed to use auto-gears. So if we, the lfs.be league, is still interested in doing some team racing, then I'm in.
To Hanzi- When we are on the CTRA server is it encouraged that we use the league skin for advertising purposes?

Yes, I would like it very much if you could drive there with the liveforspeed_XX name and off course with the Liveforspeed.be colors ;D Then we participate as a team and this is always nicer...maybe a specific day can be reserved for this , like a fryday evening, or after the liveforspeed.be race.
