I think it's better looking than the old DP. I think it's better looking than alot of things. In that blue livery, to me it kinda has a Dauer 962 flava about it.
Angry Angus Racing

Background:

Angry Angus Racing was established in 2005 between Jared Meade and Rejean LeBlanc of New Brunswick, Canada. Both met at the kart track. Jared was the wily old veteran of the kart club and Rej was the newbie teenager with a rusted out 20 year old chassis which a previous owner had painted "Angry Angus" across the back of the seat. Jared started his karting career in a very similar fashion with a 20+ year old kart and still to this day takes on factory supported super-teams with essentially left over parts found kicking around on the paddock. Jared took a liking to LeBlanc (sporting an afro at the time) and the two made a pact to work together.

Nascar Racing 2003 Season

Jared and Rej picked up another local kart driver Brent Roy to take part in the New Brunswick Virtual Racing League. This is a small Nascar league that attracts only 8-12 cars each week. Over a 4 year span, Jared won 8 series championships including going virtually undefeated at any road course. Brent Roy won several races and Rookie of the Year before retiring from sim racing to take part in other hobbies, Rej lacked interest in Nascar and was mostly a road course ringer. In the summer of 2010, Jared looked to get away from circle track racing and he found Live For Speed. Jared was intrigued by the Racing Minds 16 Hour race but was unsuccessful in forming a team to participate in the 2010 edition. The hope diminished and was all but forgotten.

Live For Speed

In December 2010, Jared and Rej spent some time together and decided that they WILL race in the 16 Hour in 2011. That spring the team was officially listed as a recognized team on LFS World and the recruiting began. The team brought on Jonathan Bjornson (GTAL racer) and Zoltan Gacsi (Hungarian LFS Cup racer). The team was built with the intention to run the 16 Hour race so anything that came before was to be practice for the 16 Hour. Jonathan advised the team to enter the GT2 World Series. Jared and Rej were both LFS rookies, but had significant other racing background. Zoltan is a relatively inexperienced LFS driver so the 3 of us were relying on the more experienced Bjornson. Round 1 of the GT2WS was approaching and Jonathan was not available to drive. It dawned on the 3 just days before the opening round that none of us had ever raced a GT2 car, none of us had ever run an endurance race, Rej and Jared have never run ANY LFS series before...this would be a trial by fire. The team wanted to gain experience, qualify for every race, finish as many races as we could and maybe beat at least one other team. We came out of that first event with a 18th place finish. By the end of the series, we finished every race finished the final series points 19th overall, a result we are extremely satisfied with also considering Bjornson withdrew from the team after Round 2, so 4 of the 5 rounds were driven by the 3 rookies.

Racing Minds 16 Hour

The team ran in the NGT class with Peter Toth as a 4th driver who signed up for the one-off ride with the team. Peter qualified the car 3rd in class and we finished 3rd in class (26th overall) in our first NGT race and our first 16 Hour. That goes down as the teams first podium finish, and you can't pick a bigger race to get you first podium.

Team Activities

As a team we pride ourselves on maximizing on the little experience we have. That attitude is deeply ingrained back from karting where Jared and Rej ran old karts with old engines on warn out tires against factory teams, and managed to week in and week out compete with these teams. Right now we realize that we are inexperienced drivers but we are willing to enter the big events to see where we stack up. We use smart driving, planning and efficient communication to maximize our performance. Jared acts as the lead strategist and a calculator is never far from his computer desk. Jared use a method of calculations and projections to predict race stint outcomes, and uses effective communication to relay necessary information to the drivers before and during the race. In the Racing Minds 16 Hour, we completed the 3rd fewest pit stops of the 30 finishing teams and every driver exchange occurred as planned (no driver was abandoned for hours on end to hold up the fort), with a back-up system in place at all times. Even thought there was a backup driver available at all times, every driver got a full nights sleep and no one had to drive fatigued. It is that type of planning and execution that we use to overcome our lack of experience.

Recruitment

The team would like to find a 4th and maybe 5th driver. We are targeting intermediate level drivers. Top level drivers are more than welcome if you want to help build up the team. We do not require world class pace, we do not require hours of testing for races, we only ask that every driver give their full honest legitimate best effort (whatever your best effort is). Try your best, and communicate effectively with the team. If you want to join with this plucky band of drivers as we take on some of the biggest events in LFS contact me through facebook, e-mail, LFSforum private message. We stick together and feed off of each individuals strengths to create a more powerful outcome than any individual effort. Zoltan is the consistently faster driver so he usually does the most driving, Jared is the communicator and planner so he is the strategist and spotter and Rej just loves to race so he usually puts a lot of laps in to de-bug setups.

We run a facebook page that we complete live blogging during events http://www.facebook.com/pages/ ... us-Racing/173430552708247

Lack of clutch after several laps.

Hello,

I am enjoying LFS quite a bit now but I have discovered a worrying problem. When I have done approx 5 laps around a medium length track the clutch goes...dead...out of nowwhere. The revs shoot up, but my car gains no speed. I can go back to the pits then exit straight away again, but if I am in a race I'll lose my position. I am using a sequential gearbox with the clutch on auto. Not really sure what to do on this one, maybe the clutch is cutting out after a certain amount of the fuel has been depleted?? Just so you know I do mostly GT racing and have got the GulfMclaren Livery, it's great

kind regards,

TrackCarFan.

Right, this is now officially FIXED XD

No more problems will arise regarding controllers, I have got my favourite livery for the FZ50 GTR (BMW Z4 GT3) and have been having a blast on the Super GT Lfs servers. GT racing is the way for me. Nothing beats 420BHP and a sequential gear box. :auto:

With many thanks,

TrackCarFan.

Another 2 problems have arisen. God knows how I have managed to do this but somehow I now have only two options when moving the car off from a standing position. I can either choose between an inverted handbrake or an inverted clutch. Either one I choose will cause the other to come into effect, and I stall and look a right banana. I have set the handbrake to button mode and the clutch is on automatic. I am using sequential transmission using the G25 shifter. I have got my LX4 with a gulf livery, and I have tweaked the engine sound, and got my own race setup.

But I can't drive it! I would be most grateful for people who are more expreinced than I to step foward and hopefully give me some help. Just got LFS S2 a minute ago as well.

Thanks,

TrackCarFan.

Quote from R34GTR :Just did a lap in the Mustang at Laguna Rival event, the person who is now my rival (but not on my friends list)...

danowat32 what are the chances!

I did the nascar infineon hotlap and my rival was shaun from SRT. Had to do another lap just beat him

Anyways, I just uploaded my replica (real life alike specs and livery) of ATCC 1989 Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth to the club garage. Probably not much use for online but it's a neat car. And relatively quick and scary

Going to do another livery for it and then do the ATCC 1989 volvo and M3 and a 1992 bathurst skyline.

Any ideas why the car shows just as black box in the garage? Basically the specs and the thumbnail just doesn't load for whatever reason but the is usable and drivable just fine me thinks... Maybe it is some xbox setting? There is one other car shared by someone else that isn't showing up correctly either...

Yes, I found that!!! It's amazing, but a touch out of my league...

The thing is, I want to design the livery and have the spacings and what-have-you about right so I can show the people who make the design. Hence needing an F305/6/7 model. I would settle for a 302/3/4 or 308/9/10/11 as well if needs be. But not for more than about $30!!!

Thank you. It's very low poly though, which is annoying. Is it possible to extract the nko files used in netkar?

Essentially I want a line drawing of car from the front three-quarters so that I can sketch out some livery ideas. As I'm no line drawer, and don't have the time anyway, I thought I could import a 3d model of a suitable f3 car (2005/6/7 ideally), and create a 3D view of it in Autodesk Inventor... That way I can print out images for colouring in, or create an image file and play with it on a computer.

Hell, I'd actually go so far as use an nKP Skin Viewer if there was one!

Hello Guys!

So, I got myself a new helmet that needs a slick livery!

Basically the rules are, the area that has a design (Grey and Black Areas) cannot be changed, obviously, all the colors can!.

I would be great full for the ones having a go! ( Maybe a small gift involved, we'll see.)

Thanks!

Sincerely
Dennis Lind.
The prize money will be £100+ AND a copy for LFS S2 ( For attracting Demoers aswell )

Hey guys(and gals) I thought I would post this here to show something I've been working on for quite a while now and would like to finally show it to some people...lol

A little more info.......

SimRaceStore.com was created to help eliminate the need to develop and maintain a "seperate" website for smaller companies, giving those company owners more time to focus on what matters......the products. All Store owners can develop their own custom web page inside SimRaceStore.com with a simple WYSIWYG editor. All SimRaceStore members and store owners will benefit from marketing campaigns we will be running in “other” media sources to help expose their storefronts to bigger audiences in new industries. SimRaceStore.com will also be running Contests and Events with prizes to give away throughout the remaining year (must be a registered member to qualify).

Another reason we created SimRaceStore.com was to give todays talented Sim Racing "painters" a place to display and sell their own paint schemes for all racing titles. "Painters" can do this through their own buy it now listings or bid-style auctions........ all in their own fully customizable storefronts and profile page. Painters then display their work for the world to see and browse through......then....If on-looking shoppers like what they see in the uploaded example pics, they can purchase that paint scheme for their own use. After the payment clears to the seller, file(s) are then securely delivered through encrypted links to the buyer. The links will then expire 24 hours after downloading. All transactions are handled through through PayPal servers and all major forms of payment are accepted. It's simple and easy. So dig into that folder of skins you have and possibly turn them into cash!

Another useful feature of SimRaceStore.com is the ability for members to be able to list a wanted ad for just about anything to all the Artists, Stores and Members. Whether it be for a custom painted Gulf Racing livery for your next racing season or a cnc cut sheet of carbon fiber to mount that Pro Sli-board onto. Whatever your looking for, the SimRaceStore.com wanted ads are definitely were your going to find that new or used goodie you need to keep getting those Wins.


Here is a 4 day (96 hour) %-100 OFF Voucher Code too, so you can upgrade all of your opening listings and get maximum exposure for the Grand Opening launch if your interested in selling anything.

updating with some new works and some breakthrough!

First it's the rotary dual tuned by knightsport which will be racing in macau this year. Then it's the DBRS9 which will run in GT1 round in Marrakech, both cars are in the making.

The big news is Ford wants my service to design to their next years LeMans intercontinental Cup entry, so maybe you will see the livery in many racing games.

An eleventh member has joined TEM’s ranks recently, in the person of Andris “andro.” Pavars, from Latvia.





Andris, 18, has been around for quite a while in the LFS community. He is the former founder and manager of international Latvia-based 4 Stroke Racing, which collapsed in early 2010. He has a rather big experience in league racing, including races in top-level competitions such as LFS Pro Series, GT Series, Apex Cup, iTCC, or IGTC. He is also the manager of the Baltic Cup, and the LFS Photomode Competition, in which he is also showing his pic editing skills – which you can have a small overview with this article’s picture. Also, for the record, Andris is one of the very few(and perhaps the only one at this moment) keyboard racers holding an LFS World Record.

This new recruit makes two Baltic racers in TEM’s roster, after long time Estonian member Karl “TypeRacing” Raudsepp.


_______







Tiger Express is involved in this Summer’s main LFS endurance league, the International GT Championship. For its fifth season, the league managed to attract a very appealing field, with former champions CoRe Racing, spdo Racing and Conquest Racing coming back, and defending against some of simracing’s finest teams(such as My3id Gaming, ineX Racing, Sonicrealms Racing or RaceStar ConverTTable), trying to gain their first crown. This season will be the shortest of the IGTC history, with 4 races of 4 hour each, all on open configuration tracks.


TEM has had a decent first season half. Round 1 at Kyoto International Reversed saw David Jundt and Yann Laprevotte finish in 13th out of 30 in their FXR. Round 2 was even better, with Karl Raudsepp and Yann making it to the top 10(9th/25) in the 4 wheel drive friendly Fern bay Classic(FE25), despite some heavy suspension damage in the third stint.
Also note the usage of special skins: a slightly tweaked Earthdreams based livery at round 1, which became quite an habit for the team in endurance Kyoto races, in tribute of their GTAL debuts back in late 2009. Round 2 saw a much darker livery, with Leucats on the sides of the car.



At the standings, TEM lies in 10th, and hope to stay in the top 10 until the end of the season, something the team has come so close to last year. Favorites ineX Racing tops the chart, after a win at round 1(despite a rather controversial last lap clash with My3id), and a second place behind ineX Racing 2 at round 2. Surprising FXR squad Sonicrealms Racing #2 is second, with My3id Gaming in third.

In other news, TEM will organise a special event in order to celebrate its second birthday. It will consist of 3 "fun" 15 minutes races, all held on Monday 22nd August. You can read more about it and register here.
