LFS and Race2Play

Doorman · April 11, 2009, 07:46:56 PM

If you don't know about R2P give THIS a look. I created a Dead Men Racing team and there are 5 places left.(the membership I bought, Standard, only allows 1 team with ten members.) But you can race there as privateers.

Great thing is, Moose scored his first win for dMr this afternoon. This he did mostly by coming first! Well done Stu. :yahoo::yahoo:

obsolum · April 12, 2009, 08:42:20 AM

Alright, I signed up. How do I go about joining the dMr team? Is there anything I must do, or is it just you who adds the drivers to the team?

Btw, nice to see that the dMr team is active in different sims

I'll do my best to get as much of these races in as possible, but I'm a very very busy man lately, it seems :sideways: It'll be nice to "represent" dMr with hopefully a few more drivers

I'm sure it'll be Moose raking in all the podiums and me just battling it up somewhere midfield but hey, as long as I have fun it's all good

On a sidenote, does anyone else find the R2P site an absolute nightmare to navigate? For a service with as many users as they've got, I find their site to be one of the most user unfriendly ones I've ever seen.

Yes, I couldn't find my way around, was looking for what races/cars there are for Lfs.

Click here. Those are the 3 LFS series currently running (actually only 2 as there is one with a "Euro" and "US" part). Each series consists of a number of races, for which you can sign up individually. So you don't necessarily have to run all races of a specific series, you can just sign up for the individual races you like. There's always a few weeks in between races. I can imagine there are people who don't like that, but I find it a good thing

I've signed up for the upcoming races in both the TBO and GTR series (on R2P they're called "Touring" and "Grand Touring").

EDIT: hey, I beat The Moose for once!

The Moose · April 12, 2009, 09:56:40 AM

I will send invites to dMr guys that want to participate. Check your 'My R2P/Mail centre when you've registered in your real name

Gnomie · April 12, 2009, 11:40:27 AM

The TBO races (which are the ones I'd be interested in running) seem to be on collision course with the dMr Thursday races, though.. :g: What to do, what to do?

No contest! Thursday night is dMr long race night! :flirty:

Jamin · April 12, 2009, 12:23:01 PM

I'm interested in the TBO as well, will do some practise first before commiting as I'm average on a good night.

The Moose · April 12, 2009, 12:32:51 PM

Don't worry about your pace Jamin. There's a huge variety of skill levels at R2P

If you can keep it on the black stuff then you should get a good race

The main thing is to get as many people on the grid as possible. LFS is a new sim at R2P and we need to build up the interest levels.

Aye, I noticed that as well :angry: As much as I'd love to race in R2P, I think I'll unsubscribe from that one because I prefer the dMr long race.

On top of that, I noticed that the GTR race I subscribed for is on a day where we already have a "family dinner" planned, so I'm afraid I'll have no choice but to unsubscribe from that as well :angry: Not a good start for me :sad:

Doorman · April 13, 2009, 10:11:37 PM

Would you mind un-subscribing from from the races you can't do please Oliver.

obsolum · April 14, 2009, 03:41:11 AM

Quote from: Doorman;272554Would you mind un-subscribing from from the races you can't do please Oliver.

Oh definitely, but the thing is, it's not really certain yet that I can't do them. So I'm holding off for now. The races aren't for another 10 days at least so I figure I have some time to see what's what. I'm not one to subscribe for a race and then just not show up, don't worry :flirty: And it's not like the races are full yet, are they?

EDIT: I had a closer look at the race details for the TBO race on Thursday April 23, and if I set my time right the Quali starts at 8:15PM, Race at 8:30PM. The race is 10 laps, so I figure it should be finished by the time the dMr race starts. So that'll give me a good night's racing, I reckon! :yahoo:

Note that I'm in the timezone GMT+1, which means that the dMr races start at 9:30pm for me

Gnomie, I don't know what timezone you're in but I think it should work out for you as well. Again, that is if I've set my time settings correctly at R2P. Still haven't found where to verify that :angry:

The Moose · April 14, 2009, 07:21:16 AM

Yup, that works out perfectly obsolum.

Good news, as i was looking forward to a few DMR long races again.

Hehe, sounds good! I'll skip the first race in any case, though, so please tell us how it worked out afterwards.
