I lost my breath just by reading that.

Now that got me a bit worried. Tyre temperatures wise, how's it looking for the FXOs?

KY2 seems to be a lot more demanding than AS3 regarding that, think we'll have some rubber barbecue on this round.

I'm sure one of us will make him proud though... :P

Now let's not bother the admins and keep this thread clean.

Team Name: Sim Racing Society
Car Number: 09
Drivers:
C.Taylor [TAYLOR-MANIA] GBR
E.de Souza [de Souza] BRA
S.MacDonald [Mackie the Staggie] GBR

Who cares if it's a wall of text? Nicely written! Had a good time reading it, thanks.

Not a big deal, but is there any chance to type the points directly in the OP instead of attaching a pdf? Should be easier for everyone.

So, what happens if 10 thousand people start playing Crysis or whatever game is the most demanding these days? You need one very high end PC to run one of these. Are they buying 10k very high end PCs just for those games? Where are they keeping the PCs? What about the other games?

Note: I haven't read anything other than the posts here.

did SRS change setups? i don't see their server on the list...

Yup, it's set for the GTAL race. Maybe Michael will change it if you ask him nicely.

I'm pulling out, will have some classes on friday. Michael will edit his post later to delete my sign up (hopefully).

Have a good race guys.

Quote from Wilko868 :

The Airio incident was unfortunate, and we do apologise for it kicking people for no good reason.

That's cool, just a bit weird to be kicked from inactivity while driving, miss 6 minutes of the qualify AND be told to shut up after that.

Seriously now, it's really better to leave any insim stuff off or at least leave only the very necessary features on. And concerning the chatting, maybe a "chat = instant penalty" rule?

Qualifying 4th was better than expected.

2nd on the first race was much better than expected.

Driving in 5th on the second race was making me happy, untill I crashed and went down to 8th.

Gotta love the XRT+RB4 fights on this track.

Watching at Google at this moment... damn lag...

Agreed, but I'm sure nobody will change the side they drive on LFS forever because of this. When all the drivers use the same side, there's no point in forcing them to use the other. Being able to drive on the side it makes more sense to you is better.

I don't. If the league is amateur enough not to care about the camera advantage, why care about the driving side advantage?

Other than a possible faster car, there'll be rounds when all our drivers will be british (RHD) and rounds that the most of our drivers will be from places that use LHD. Doesn't make much sense to penalize some drivers for something that isn't their fault...

Oh well. It looked like you guys were building a strong team. This is not my business but how come 5 hours/day?? That can't be right.. it's a LFS team, not a worldwide corporation.

Anyways, good luck Tommy.

I guess the FZRs are still faster, or at least easier to drive. The XRRs (ours anyway) is quite consistent throught the stint and high 1:11s should be possible at some point. It's very likely to roll on some corners thought, so we have to balance things a bit and not push like crazy all the time. No idea about the FXRs.

We'll see, can't wait for the race! And stop blaming my setup!!

But before he left he told me he didn't have the stats for the All Star Cup but that de Souza did...

Sadly I don't have anything. Hell, I couldn't even participate that day.

Hmm, no one has the replays? Will be some work but I can do the results with them.

Quote from zeugnimod :

To be honest I don't really care. Being a business is the worst part of F1, having to keep everyone entertained. Then you see stupid rules like that coming up all the time because there's little to do on the sport side without any major regulations change.

I'm fine either way. I like a few drivers, a few teams, but I'm not fanatic. I just enjoy watching the drivers driving, the cars going, even at Hungaroring.

I kinda like it. I think. Maybe.

Not that it needed changes really. A bit more points to the winner would be better.

Meh no way to race, internet is too damn crap today.. can't even watch the broadcast properly...

I'd agree if my post was something like "McLaren is doing bad because of Hamilton alone". Wich it wasn't.

I don't know about those things, but I don't think the drivers have much influence in a car design from scratch. But I think they must have in the development of the car during the season. They are the ones who drive the car, they should at least know things like "traction is poor" and pass that info forward.

I don't remember clearly what happened in Bahrein, and I'm at work so I can't keep searching things... but wasn't that race Hamilton rear ended Alonso, and then struggled the rest of the race because of the contact? I don't remember why he was back there, but I'm sure he'd be in the top 5 if it was a normal race. I won't consider Heikki's performance.

Anyway, I'd hardly consider the 3rd best car in the first race to best car in the last race as a incredible achievement, specially when the 2nd force gave up on the fight in the middle of the season.

Surely one driver can't save the day alone these days, but he can help saving it. I'm just not convinced Hamilton is the kind of guy that can make a difference outside the cockpit (he can inside).

(sorry I ran out of time here, will have to stop writing :shy

:shhh:

Quote from UncleBenny :

He's a one man team!

Well we all knew that already, didn't we? :P

Seriously now, I'm curious to see how he's going to perform this year. New regs, he will have to develop the car, the setups... Things that I'm not sure yet he can do well - maybe that explains the poor performance so far?

To be honest I highly doubt McLaren is as bad as it looks, but I don't think it'll be as good as it was. We saw last year how Alonso can change things during the season. I guess McLaren will have a similar path - but do they have the right drivers to change the game in their favor?

Because when you unlock you receive this:

FYI : Every friday morning you will receive an additional unlock to your LFS account, unless you already have two unlocks available at the time.

Have fun!

It should be written somewhere else, but I don't have the time to search now.

Don't worry, you'll get more unlocks the next week.

By the way this should be in the General LFS Discussion forum.
