Hi all,

Today 2 years ago, is the day Dani, Bryan and Paul started Simracers4Life, formerly know as A.R.I.

Thanks to them for what has been an amazing ride, with a game that was still in beta for most of the time.
SR4L quickly became a group of members, evolving like groups do but most of all, being friendly and forgiving and catering to all sorts of drivers, fast and less fast.

For me personally, I haven't been around since the beginning but it was soon clear to me, after some practice sessions using Historic F3 at Monza, that this was a great group to race with, using the mod I personally liked the most. Niko persuaded me into joining this gang (after a long simrace sabbattical) and I never regret it. Not even when he crashes me out.

So thanks to the initial starters of this league and to the people that came and still come along, whether they stick or not, without you it wouldn't even be possible for us to celebrate this 2 years anniversary. 8)

I would also like to take this oppurtunity to congratulate Bryan with his birthday. Hope you read this.


Cheers all,

Marcel.

Sim Racers 4 Life welcomes you to Season 3 of our Historic's League. This season we move up to the Historic F1's in what promises to be an action pack event. There's no way around it, it's a hard mod and with that comes massive challenges. One of them Finishing and being consistent will be the key to a good season. We see the return of the reverse grid race with this series and now with only two races per round it adds a lot more pressure on staying clean in those opening laps. Expect big thrills, big spills and lots of emotion to come out of this series.

SR4L wishes you good luck for the season.

Hi all,

Due to the join-button saga, we are postponing SR4L's 1960s F1 league round 13 @Zolder for 2 weeks.
We are still not sure when the fixed build will be released and we don't want to clash with USR's schedule so the next league race will be held Sunday 23-3-2014


Cheers,

Marcel.

Got from the auto-update.

As you probably have noticed, David Cruickshank again made us a patch which allows us to have a staggered grid and a few more pitspots. Thanks a lot Dj, great contribution!

When exiting pit, pls stay right for as long as there is the white line on the left. Because it's quite tight (but not impossible) to keep all four between the line and the barrier, you are allowed to cross the line with your left wheels.

Good luck and have fun

* As you may have noticed , I have extended warmup time to 10 minutes to allow me some extra time to set grid. Please let me know as soon as possible if you want to be put to the back for second race. I'll ask once again in warmup but after that, last minute requests will be denied, to preserve reversed top ten integrity.

* Pit exit can be a little hairy. We have to be careful from both sides, exiting pit and racing. Note you will get a blue flag when exiting pit while another driver is near on the main straight. Though you should expect that driver to be aware of the situation, please be careful entering track.

Pitlane-entrance is where yellow line starts. Pitlane ends where the wall on the left ends, after the Battery Vault banner.

Racing rule for this race only:

[b]Unless your pitting don't not cut the entrance of pit lane during the race.[/b]



You can cut the line at your own discretion after the pit entrance. Hitting a pitted car will see you disqualified from the race.


After your pitstop, please stay within the yellow line with all four wheels until pitlane has ended.

DJCruicky Wrote:A few things people need to know about SPA pits:-

When pitting:
The red arrowed pit box only appears if you have pressed the pit request button.
You must press the pit request button in good time. If you press it to late the pit crew don't have enough time to come out, you will not get the red box in the pitlane.
If you press it too soon, they will come out, give up waiting and go back in. Press button half lap to go is the best time to get crew ready.
When pitting drive within the 100kph speed limit right side of the yellow line. Don't drive at full speed down the left side of the yellow line then cut into your pit box.

When not pitting:
If you decide not to pit after requesting a pitstop, careful not to drive into the pit area or you will get a speeding ticket by the game. Cancel pit request is best thing to do.
When you are low on fuel the pit crew come out without you requesting pit, be careful this does not happen if you are cutting into the pit area at full speed or again the game will give you speeding ticket. Cancel this request with the pit request button.

...about last events.

We have seen some great racing here but we also hear more complaints than ever and there have been people quitting from this league because of driver behaviour. We never have been very keen on handing out penalties, it's not what you would expect to be necessary in a fun-league series. I think we have managed a pretty good standard up till now but we still see things go horribly wrong, mainly when it comes to passing and people rejoining track after an incident.

Therefore I posted a ''Sim Racing Etiquette Guide'' over at Rules/Regulations section of this forum. You can find it http://here
This is a required read for everyone participating in SR4L events.

Don't go like ''This is a way too long read, I don't have time, I have read this somewhere else before''. It's there to be read and contains a lot of usefull information which you will need to absorb and practise at the next events.

Talking about information, I don't know how many times I (and others) have answered questions like ''how many laps'' ''do we need to pit'' etc. This makes me scratch my head because it's all to be read at the event's announcement, which is a required read before you enter the server.

Back to Sim Racing Etiquette and our last events:

Here at SR4L we have drivers from being novice to experienced and lightning fast. Everyone should be driving to their own ability but above all, with care, for themselves and others. And using common sense of course...
But, I've seen (and read) some (fast experienced) drivers doing things they should have seen coming for example:

* trying to go side by side thru the first tight chicane at Croft, the chicane with the tire stacks close to each other. How on earth do you think you can safely go racing thru there side by side, expecting the other will bail out and if not we'll just crash?

* looking at their HUD while knowing they are, or are about to battle for positions and as a result swerve across track.

* sitting very close behind a lapper, honking at him while as a result, losing control of the car and nudging the lapper of track/causing an incident.

* slowing down and moving over just after the start when everyone around you expects you to accelerate and be safe.

* rejoining the track perpendicular instead of merging, with cars in a pack approaching.

It's just common sense not to do those things, we all have it I'm sure, please use it.

You can read about the points above in the Sim Racing Etiquette thread http://here.

From now on, we expect everyone who races with us, to have read this guide and behave accordingly.
If not, penalties will be applied, from points deduction to exclusion from the league.


We are here for the fun of it, not to get penalized but that also involves learning from your and others mistakes. Please let this be a lesson so the fun will prevail!

Pm me if you have questions/remarks.
