At this moment, no limit on the amount of time attacks you can do.
Let's try without a limit first. The people just have one week to tune specifically to the track (if you do that, well, I don't) and put the time down. This will encourage more people to continue to join a LotS room during that week and chill out with other LotS players.
The tuning restrictions are exactly the same as the normal seasons.

I get ya. I just thought that having everyone follow the rules of giving everyone else 20 seconds of space during a 4 lap race may get complecated with a room full of members. You have to assume that
1. everyone will join the track before you start the race.
2. everyone will have coordinated who goes first, second, third, etc.
3. You have to set the timer so that whoevever finishes first doesnt lock out the other players from finishing.
4. You can only have so many people in a room, if you're going to be a witness you're going to have to do it a couple times in different rooms (most likely given we have 40+ registered members).
Or we can just upload replays during our own time. I get that it's a an extension of one of the ideas I suggested, but I'm not sure it'll work too well. Although i do like the idea of all of us getting together and watching each other.

Feel free to drop me a private message when official time attacks and battles start.

Set scheduled race time, this will solve this problem. If they are late, they will miss it.
Depending on how many players on the map, this really have to go with the feel and chemistry of the people on track.
180 seconds = 3 mins
So far using statistics, at the 4th lap, the tyres are little bit worn out already. Lap 2 and Lap 3 is the laps with the best chance to set a best lap. Other players should have already finished lap 3 when the first player passes the finish line at Lap 4.
I'm going to do it like the battle style, no set time to get everyone together.
I'm not optismistic of expecting 40 people to show up at one time as well, the most I've got was about 8 LotS regulars at a time in my room so far.
Yes, the 20 second space seems quite a lot, but I think a 3 1/2 min lap track, I think you can have like 10 players spaced out quite evenly. Maybe don't have to set a '20' second space. just a space reasonable which can be seen from the minimap.
I cannot yet imagine a room filled with 16 LotS players just yet... sorry for my lack of faith! lol.

You could have more than one person doing a time attack at the same time. eg. 4 persons want to time attack, start race, and then give the first car a 15-20 second lead (maybe more maybe less), then the 2nd car goes(wait 15-20 seconds),then 3rd then 4th (you get the idea). Sort of like rally.
So I cant submit a Time Attack if I'm in a online lounge free running with people from LotS, It HAS to be a official race with 4 laps?
I think the people here are honest enough to confirm times, therefor we wouldn't need to submit a picture.
If your fastest lap is the one showing and other people want to see what they are running, then we can reset the lounge and the people who have confirmed times will not run "hot laps". Then every one in the room will have a chance to confirm their time, and if your running with 4-5 people from LotS to confirm the better.
While we are practicing or learning someones track it pretty much like a Time attack. We all watch to see what people can run, its how I judge an opponents skill. For example: with my race with Hannibaal, He beat me fair and square on his home course. Afterwards we had a time attck session. Gave me a chance to fine tune and do things I didnt do In the race lol. I learned that our times were really close, and knew it would come down to driver skill and how well you can handle the pressure. Basicly TIME ATTACK=GOOD, get a chance to know your opponent it will make you faster in the next season.

Im sorry im still confused.
So Im gold and im racing a bronze, he leads first. He Leads at the end of lap 1by 1.001sec. I lose?
Im gold and im racing a bronze, I lead first. I lead him by 2.999 sec we go another round?
Okay, will people who choose to run gold have a Win Bonus of some sort? Clearly a Bronze racer has an advantage. What Im saying is someone like Wardez or MONSTAR could choose to be a bronze racer and if I were gold, they would be UNBEATABLE. But if there was some sort of points bonus for a gold beating a bronze or a silver beating a bronze, it would be worth the risk and the challenge.

For the record I just got a 3:12.361 on Horsefish Pass, I'm pretty pleased with it and would love to see someone beat it.

I was wondering.... When I usually use a fully customize transmission, I use the stock gear ratio's and change the final ratio to that of a real life aftermarket one. Example stock NSX type R final ratio is 4.235 and change it to 4.44 by OS Giken. I try to set up cars as realistically as possible, but I was wondering if this may be valid in this "touge battle?" I am expecting a no, but I figured I ask

Custom trannys are banned, all details about LotS is on the First post.
Thank you.

I read that part, but I figured I ask anyway. What about close ratio gear kits?
Edit: Or is that considered custom as well? Thank you for the quick reply

Quick ratio kits are allowed:tup:
Guys what do you think of this?

Great idea, mate! One question: are this times obtained on LOTS official time trial 4 laps or in a free run in the lobbie? 👍

I can't seem to find my thumb drive which contains the main spreadsheet for calculations for leaderboard... I'm sure I saw it yesterday... well, you guys just have to wait.... LOL...
Yes, your analysis is correct.
I think I'll keep the scoring system the same at the moment, there won't be any bonuses, cause of the calucations of the scores and how complex it will be. Yes, a Bronze racer will have an advantage over a Gold racer if skill levels are similar. And you are right, according to your statement above, Wardez and MONSTAR would be unbeatable if you're a Gold racer and they are Bronze racer.
This haven't been thought throughly yet. But you've raised an interesting point. Of course, I wouldn't allow something like this to be exploited. If we are going to take this path, then I'll have to figure out a way to assign the Gold/Silver/Bronze ranking to each racer. Clearly the current leaders would have to run Gold times. People like you, MONSTAR, Wardez will definitetly be in the GOLD catergory.
I think a good way to determine whether a player should be a Gold/Silver/Bronze player is using a combination of the number of races raced and the win/lose ratio.
Another way is from player feedback. Meaning that a player would be able to roughly judge where they should be after having a couple of races. If a Bronze racer is constantly faster than many of the other Bronze racers in the group, he/she will be promoted to the Silver racer catergory. However, this may only be applicable only after the person have been in a full season.
And for new players vs season veterans, I think deciding a mutual gap between the two players before battling is better, and have both players use the same gap.
Welcome to Legend of the Streets badboy.
Short answer is No. Long answer is it depends. Final answer is No.
I'll be great if we could run proper realistic gear ratios. Check out RLT garage, the LEXUS IS200 build, it's using the fully customizable transmission to replicate a stock 6-speed transmission.
The main reason I banned fully customizable transmission is that I don't want people to be running 4/5/6th gears on tight hairpin curves. It's just impractical and unrealistic and the easiest way to prevent this without opening a can of worms is to ban fully customizable transmission altogether.
yes, and list is updated.
Yeap, that's another good way of doing it. You'll have to cope with randoms coming in and out though.
I just thought it'll be interesting to see how people would make a best lap at night. The method you described above, will work, but the time of day is not really restricted. Most people, learning the track at day time is better. And during the day, I personally think a better time can be archived.
And I also thought it'll be cool to be able to record your time attack lap as well.
Also, I want to find out when someone leaves a race. How does the lag spike works, does it actually affect you or just affects the other opponents you see on the same race.
