Sounds like a bunch of fun, but doesn't fit my free time.  :sad:

I'm prepared to give it a crack if we can get a team together. The only bugbear is "All races will be held on SUNDAYS, always between 16:00 and 22:00 (GMT)."
Mind you looking at the qualifying times (1.07's) I dont think I'll bother :sad:

You are matched with racers with a similar quali time.

In that case we are likely to be up against 'sand-baggers' and to be honest I enjoy the variable driving talents we see on Deadmen.
IMO racing elsewhere would only weaken our own servers attractiveness.

I'm interested and would like to have a go.

The races are not every week, so that doesn't seem so bad.

Myself and BobtheBike have started the season.  The result for the first race is up on the OLFSL site, showing me with a win in pool 5 :yahoo:


The race started with me on pole, BobtheBike in 13th (unlucky number?) There was an incident at turn 1, then again at turn 2 where some numpty went on a crashfest and ruined a number of cars, including Bobs. Shortly after that, Bob suffered a disconnection  :sad: unlucky Bob.

I was also tapped on lap 1 in the hairpin, minimal damage, but then hit the wall at the top of the hill damaging my front left wheel.  I suffered the whole race for that as that wheel does a lot of work around South City Town.  I managed to regain my 1st place on the next lap and held on for the remaing 27 laps. My challenger [AD] Tom coming close a few times.

Well done :thumb: I watched the last ten mins and kept telling myself to shut up talking on ts so you could concentrate.

Bad luck Bob on the disco.

Wakey

His 'official' LFS name is dr1ftmast3r and as far as I can see he's never been on our server. Lets keep it that way and extend that ban to include dMr.

I surprised myself and actually ended up watching the whole race, it looked great fun Dee - I'm particularly glad that your car seemed to be equally attracted to that particular lefthand wall that I was hitting so much last night!  Lap 21 saw a lot of action, great split of the lapped car on the hairpin!  

Must go find me a dMr skin.........../goes off to hack Dee's PC and pinch his skin

Thanks for the comments, and apologies for lack of updates.

A few days ago was round 4, the MRT at South City Classic. I was glad we had the MRT that week for our dMr weekly 1 hour race so I had lots of practice  :thumbsup:. Enough to see me qualify in pool 2.  I started 4th, lost a few places in the beginning, then had great fun fighting my way back up what was an action packed race, with the leading 3 taking themselves out! I eventually finished with a podium 2nd  :clap:

Fantastic effort. :clap: I thought you were going to make first place as you were closing on the top spot at a great rate of knots. You did dMw proud.

A big 'well done' to Dee for another epic race on OLFS last night, starting 12th and finishing 4th (by a tenth of a sec) and setting the 2nd fastest lap.
The boy done good :D

Yay! Thanks for the support.  And thanks Lameduck who was on Teamspeak letting me know what cars in front that hadn't pitted, and the ones I was racing for position.

Replay here (http://www.lfs-league.com/mpr/pool3_race1.mpr)

I was pushing for 2nd but hit the wall in the last but one lap, then just couldn't hold sccc:mauni off, to finish 4th.

My current standing: 18th
dMr current standing: 12th (out of 46!)
