i wonder if tristan is still alive, i have sent him litterally billions of PMs. i must have broken his internet cable with all of my posts going down it.
that on the throttle until u know u dont have to take it off thing, doesnt mean that u cant smootly apply the throttle as u unwind the steering. u look at the throttle 'bar' when u see F1 drivers on TV, they apply the throttle on or just before the apex and roll it on as they unwind the steering.
If you dont do that u arent using all of the traction circle. rolling on the throttle is like trail braking, but for acceleration not deceleration.
yea XC if u are racing a 2 stroke just lock the brakes so the wheels are doing less RPM than the karts speed, if u know what i mean. Semi locking. it makes a really loud wierd sound when done properly, and u need to countersteer.
dontsimons advice sounds about right aswell, take that!
and u do loose time by applying the power later.
maybe it was slower because u totally over-powered, but u need to set yourself up so that u can fully apply the throttle early as possible.
I heard that the drivers will do 1 lap in an F1 car and another on a motoGP bike. From there, both times will be added and the fastest will be on pole position.
In the race, instead of the normal pit stops, the drivers will have to get out, bandage up and look after a sick puppy as fast as humanly possible, swap to bikes and get on with the race.
OK fellas only 20 days to go. Like i say, ive confirmed the event so it will definatly go ahead. We need to get the cheques in now. so for everyone who is on the 1st page and isnt confirmed, or is confirmed and hasnt sent a cheque... SEND IT NOW!!
to anyone looking at this, its great fun and well worth your time/money to come along and meet fellow LFSers, so come along!
hi guys, my computer has been broken for a week and ive managed to use a comp at work. we have enough people, YAY!
I have phoned up the circuit manager and i have CONFIRMED THE EVENT FOR JULY 1st.
we definatly can go karting now, hopefully now we will gain a bit more momentum as regards a few more people.
lol, i was wondering that too, I think it must have just 'nipped' ie siezed but came unstuck again. It was a long race, and she still finnished in the end. Shes 20 but shes the size of a 12 year old lol, i was testin on sat and she passed me, so i thought RIGHT IM NOT HAVIN THAT, changed my lines and lit it away from her LOOOL.
haha, m8!! my motor was 500 from a mate who was wicked a few years back, my chassis was £250 from him too, and it was fast as until it got written off. Its so funny when u pass guys with a brand new kart who race every week and i havnt raced tkm for 2 years and my kart is 6 years old and i beat them lol.
i only live 10 miles from that track. if you have contacts, they can helpo u with ANYTHING
hi ho.
i was selling my PSP on ebay today and someone in the USA won it... when it clearly said ship to UK only. so i asked for the extra cash for postage. i got an email back that looked like PayPal saying that they had sent the money but...
And i quote
"This payment is pending because it was sent in a currency in which you do not currently hold a balance.Get back to us with the Shipment Tracking details so that we can verify that the item has been shipped and transfer the funds deducted from the buyer's PayPal account to your account. If you have any question or you want to send the Shipment Tracking details to us , feel free to do so . You can also send the Shipment Tracking details to the buyer if you want."
haha im too smart to fall for that. i aint sendin nuffin, and its written in such bad and unprofessional english too. I emailed [email protected] and they confirmed that the emails were indeed scams.
even a beta kart sim within LFS would be good, and it could be improved with karters feedback over time. The castor could be used to simulate chassis flex.
and Liedfe (?) jnr max only have 20hp so they are too slow for proper tracks, and its probably too dangerous for juniors for insurance reasons.
