F1 Online Beta (free)

While you're waiting for us to announce something, why not apply to be a free Beta tester of this new free F1 online racer. I'm going to give it a try.

Event 12 Results posted

Hi all,

Thanks to Sami, Event 11 and 12 results are now fixed. Event 12 was a must pit race and, unfortunately, two racers in Pool 1 forgot to pit as per the rules. This means they have been DiSQualified and given 0.0 points.

The rest of the results are pending penalties. The team results will be updated shortly, once we are happy Event 11 and 12 results are OK after my little mis-hap. Once that is done, we will announce the final season winners.

Thanks for racing with us and we hope to return with another fun-packed season as soon as possible.

Event 10 - Fern Bay Green grids

The grid for the Fern Bay beach event is on the site.

There will be a bit over 20 cars on track per pool so keep your eyes open. This track doesn't have too many spots to make your move to pass the guy ahead, but don't despair and try something desperate - there are 30 laps to go and wait for the perfect moment. It's also worth a mention that cutting the track is still not allowed - if there need we can use the automated checkup for this event as well.

Enough said there I think - I wish you all have a great event and hope that I can participate at least one of the last events myself too. See you, on track!

Event 8 Penalties

Hi all,

The penalties for Event 8 have now been applied to the results. Pool 1 and Pool 3 times have been modified, but Pool 2 is making my head hurt, so I have left the times as they were and just changed the points. I have checked and double checked, but please ask if you think one is wrong and I will check and explain the calculation (and amend if required).

Thanks
Tim

EDIT (Solar Hydro): The ex-officio appeals arbiter decision on systematic track cutting is what explains the final results for Event 8. It is ready but has not been uploaded yet (site is on Event 10, Sami will upload it and provide link)

EDIT 2 (Solar Hydro): The ex-officio appeals arbiter decision on systematic track cutting is now online in the penalties section (thx Sami) and is linked below.

This week "You Tube" surpassed the 400 year mark..yes that's right, it would take you 400 years to view every You Tube Video...Now who can find us Video 1?
Baxeg

Mature drivers wanted to join us at Gentleman Drivers Club, next race Sunday XRR restricted we1r. Please visit www.slowdrivers.net - no, not that slow, just respectful like OLFSL...

I am trying out iRacing, I like it and I hate it. Hmmm, don't really think it is worth the cost. However, the tire model is excellent!
MTnRunnr
:( I agree, that looks like fun, I would love to be one of the first to try it out.
[FF] Russ Greeno
Nor me. F1 beta gone quiet.
sccc|Ant
No word so far :(
MTnRunnr
Anyone seen anything about the F1 Beta yet? I would really like to be involved!

I figure if Sweden can win the World Jr Hockey gold after 33 years, anything is possible :P
bozo
@Russ, you can only lose if you vote that the world will end first!
[FF] Russ Greeno
I know which one I am voting for!
sccc|Ant
Oh yee of little faith, The devs posted a progress report on the forum recently. Guess we'll have to wait and see if the world ends first or if S3 gets released :)
[FF] Russ Greeno
@Ant - are you getting people's hopes up again. We all know future updates to LFS are vapourware.
Sander
Ant, where did you heard that there is a possible update?
sccc|Ant
Want a clue when S3 might be released...start LFS and look at the date created...2002..what month...well I would wait till my 10th BDay and them shock em...makes sense eh.
sccc|Ant
Congrats to Sweden for taking the World Jr Hockey Gold for the first time in 30 years :)
sccc|Ant
Good News..OLFSL won't be one, you may have to adjust to a new patch, and if by some stroke of luck S3...well Buckle up
sccc|Ant
Bad News! Because LFS has announced a possible update, most leagues will shut down and wait ..
sccc|Ant
N/P Russ..nobody has a mail yet.

[FF] Russ Greeno
I signed up for the F1 beta but not had any emails back yet. Maybe I wasn't chosen :-)
sccc|Ant
The IG27 Phone ( Now with FFB, Blue tooth, 3D and Popcorn, or a visual stroke) it's happened.

People in those groups do this on phones, like a browser, that's the first browser of any car that is worth a salt, what's next FFB Phones
sccc|Ant
Holy Poop, the F1 beta, that is so cool Russ, I made the deadline with something like 2 hours, and now our airline/ trucking /shipping has a racing division

Merry Christmas all.
[FF] Russ Greeno
@sccc Ant. I just watched that Robotropolis film you recommended. A great story hidden in a really bad movie. Really odd mix.
sccc|Ant
Hey to all that sent me an Xmas Card, thank you.

To all that didn't...go stand over there, with the Finish Hockey team.
sccc|Ant
Thx Russ, F1 Beta is closed now .
