How to send your results

• Archives must now be named differently, depending on which series you compete in

• "Series:" field added in the result mail template
• Made clear that you don't have to send me your saved game from the end of the race, but a replay from a scene during the race)

The SUBJECT line

F1RESULT R1

(Please: 'F1RESULT' and not 'F1 RESULT' or 'F 1 RESULT')
If you submit a result for Brazil (2nd round of the championship), the 'R1' would be replaced by a 'R2' and so on. For the pre-season races, the suffixes are 'PRE1' and 'PRE2'.

Then you add a character to this text to indicate if it's a qualifying or a race result. That means that

F1RESULT R1 Q

stands for your qualifying result at Phoenix, while

F1RESULT R1 R

stands for your race result. The mail with the race files (logfile, replay, description) must be named

F1RESULT R1 DATA

All this helps me to keep track of the mails and enables me to publish the result earlier than I normally could. So please stick to this pattern, it reduces the time you have to wait for the result!

The TEXT part

Send me your result with these lines:

Series: (the championship you compete in, ACE or SEMI-PRO)
Round: (round of the championship, i.e. 1-16)
Name: (your name)
Team: (your team name)
Qualify: (the time you achieved, for example: 1:21.098)

II.Race

1st e-mail: The result

Series: (the championship you compete in, ACE or SEMI-PRO)
Round: (round of the championship)
Name: (your name)
Team: (your team name)
Race: (the time of your race, for example: 1h23m45.678)
FastestLap: (your fastest lap of the race, for example: 1:22.333)

Please stick to the formats for race/qualifying times that I used here:

Qualifying time/Fastest Lap:                                     0:00.000

Race time:
 - finished in the same lap as the leader of your race:        0h00m00.000
 - lapped during your race 4 times but saw the chequered flag:   -4 laps
 - retired in lap 20 (completed 19 laps):                        19 laps

2nd e-mail: Race description, logfile, replays

This material should include

• a text file with a description of your race (only a few lines please!)
• the output of AGPLaptime (the logfile) and
• a replay (i.e. a saved game file) if you find that a scene of your race is worth to mentioned. Please describe the scene breifly in your race description! (Please note: don't send me your game that you saved after crossing the finish line - you only have to send me this when I ask for it.)

That makes some three files you wish to send me. Please give these files proper names:

Description.XX
Logfile.XX
Replay.XX

(XX should be replaced by your driver no. that you'll get at the start of the season)

You can then archive the files with LZX (preferred) or LHArc. Please name the archive

DATA_A_XX.lzx (or .lha)

if you compete in the ACE series, or

DATA_SP_XX.lzx (or .lha)

if you compete in the SEMI-PRO series.

In both cases 'XX' is again your driver number.

If your mailing software supports MIME, simply attach this archive to the mail. If you don't have a MIME-capable mailer, you have to use a UUEncode programme - look into Aminet's util/arc directory to find one of those.
