not here on the east coast of the US

First race opening in a day or two.

Brand spanking new circuit. Resembles lovely old Silverstone.

[NQMT]

Race One, here we go.

This is a brand new track, not included in the pack files. If anyone needs a .trk file, you will have to create one yourself. I use MoveKSC so the file will be incompatible.

The red arrow and line denote the start line and the direction.

This is not for the race but http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2014/06/16/schumacher-coma-confirms-manager/

[NQMT]

What amazing news that is. I'm so glad.

I hope we'll hear from him directly soon.

[Vagani]

Have i still got time to enter?

If so i'll have a go at it tomorrow or later today, need at break atm though after sorting out my new pack, which is now out by the way.

[Noname117]

Working on an entry at the moment. I must ask though, how strict is the "not going on the grass" rule? I know you get disqualified for it if you do it intentionally to cheat, but what if you come off of a sharp turn and one of your front wheels briefly goes onto the grass before you correct it and get it on the pavement again. That type of miscalculation, in general, would actually make the route slightly longer, so is it legal or illegal?

Going wide on a corner is fine.

However, if you cut a corner and half of your car's body (or more) goes over, you will have to redo your lap.

[NKL]

Anyway, even if timezone could pose a problem, we should totally try to do some practice race together hahah

[Noname117]

Also, do I need to get the plugin if I plan on recording my lap and posting it on youtube?

Also, work on my car is going well. It can handle most tight corners without needing to slow down, and can easily get through the railings by the astronaut complex at medium to high speeds.

So, the last few weekends have been busier than I expected, and this weekend isn't looking any better. (My job means weekdays are right out when it comes to KSP.) As such, I'm not going to be able to submit a car before the end of the month at the earliest.

[Frafor]

So, here is my lap for the first race: (not valid, went backwards)

Time: 1:36 (6:00-7:36)

Judging by the arrow in the picture of the route, you went backwards

[Frafor]

Ohh, that was an arrow, I saw the line but not arrow. Well, I will try it again.

[NQMT]

I will say now, not a bad lap. It's easier the right way.

[SolarLiner]

What race will the championship race on? How can we submit ideas? I've been trying out ideas of possible tracks ideas, I wonder if (and how) I can submit them.

[NQMT]

Good to hear from you again, SolarLiner. I remember you made the crazily long circuit in the original competition.

As for submitting, PM them directly to me. Just an image will suffice.

[SolarLiner]

I remember you made the crazily long circuit in the original competition.

Yes, that circuit, will it be used? (andd has it been used? I didn't find any links back to the original competition, sepite my searches)

And brace for PMs !

[Frafor]

Now, done the right way:

Time: 1:34 (6:30-8:04)

It doesn't really look like people are too interested in this anymore, but should there be another season of this, it might be interesting to have a look at InfiniteDice's ICE pack when the next update comes out.

A video of the possibilities.

[NQMT]

Thank you for directing my attention to this. This may be a possibility.

I think the interest drop is due to what people are doing; they may be busy.

[Melfice]

That sounds like a reasonable explanation, and looking back my post may have seem overly pessimistic.

At any rate, it was my pleasure. At the very least, the drifting ability of the wheels should make for interesting design possibilities. And, of course, the engine and transmission.

[CaptainGiblets]

I may drop out of this season, got lots of personal problems i have to handle

So bye bye for now

[Darthzeus]

Interesting idea, though I don't find the intense rule restrictions appealing.

Perhaps you could make several classes of racers, with different rule sets? For instance, I will almost always use Ruggedized wheels. And what about Vernier engines? Any who, I might make one any way, guess we'll see

Interesting ideas, thank you
