Does it stop smoking after a while ? Does the engine, apart from starting bad, run fine ie. on all (3? 4?) cilinders ? Does it smell like burned material ?

Why is everything "EPIC" and "FAIL" these days.. jeez.

I just tried it.. Nordschleife is very dissapointing.. In some places I was thinking where the **** am I ? They just added corners in places where in real life there isn't even a corner lol (Hatzenbach). It goes downhill in places where IRL it's just flat and vice versa.. Coming up on Adenauer Forst.. in the game it's like totally flat lol.. and then heading towards Metzgesfeld it goes downhill.. what a joke. The only part that looked slightly realistic is Eschbach-Brünnchen..

Right-click mouse, delete.. ktnxbye.

I've never had problems with stock cars on trackdays.. even on testdays (Nordschleife) they usually cope with the abuse very well.. if your brakes are catching fire in 2 laps time.. then you're probably doing something wrong heh.

FWD's are less uhmm.. interesting compared to RWD. I was gonna say less "challenging" but that's not totally true. I personally think it takes skill to drive a FWD on the very limit. I like it how one can use the rear end to rotate the car and balance on the throttle.. it's nice. People who claim all they get is understeer, I'm sorry to say but maybe you should learn how to drive properly. There's more to it then just turning the wheel and pushing the loud pedal all the way down. They sure can be very rewarding, but like I said, it can take some dare-pills and skill to get to that level.

I was going to disagree with Tristan as usual (lol sorry) but in the end I agree with him, I think he explains it very good in his last post.

Oh well, another useless reply. I'm sorry.

And now for something completely different..

"oh sorry, haven't been online for so long"

"i cant get used to new wheel"

"shit car"

"shit setup"

Person crashes into me, my car rockets around like a pinball, he gets away without damage.. drives away.. and just when my car comes to a stop after spinning around for what seems to be 2 days.. I see him typing "good race" . Ya, good race.

BL1R - First corner right after start/finish, the offcamber-downhill-lefthander. It used to be more of a challenge with the old physics and old XRT geometry but it still is very amusing.

SO1R - 2nd corner..same as above.. offcamber-downhill-righthander.. just before the chicane/passage/whatever.

Hm.

Quote from slugz :

First of all, the AI aponents love to bump you off the track, and that is not realistic. Agreed.

Second of all, your car skids and loses traction when going 20-30km/h.
Agreed.

I hope GTR 2 will seem more realistic
A man can dream.

Little update on my car..

Took off the non-staggered, heavy bling bling 16" wheels and put the OEM 15" back on, car is parked now, waiting for a 3.0 V6 swap. The 4banger kinda..died.

uhhh ?

You can't blame that on the track, it's the general stupidity of the people who race on it.

And I don't see why LFS isn't capable of having more then 32 players in one server. At least not in the future.

I find it funny how some people complain about the narrownes (err?) of the Nordschleife. It's not narrow at all ! It's probably more narrow then the GP Bahrain track yeah.. but that track is.. well.. boring ? And very wide..

http://i195.photobucket.com/al ... /Nurburgring/025d3bc0.jpg
Cars 3 wide, no problem. That's wide enough.


Nordschleife would be heaven for 16hr/24hr events combined with mixed classes. Imagine driving in the dark with your FZR on the Nordschleife in LFS, now you're a liar when you tell me you won't fancy that lol.

I also think the devs would get a major financial boost when they include the Nordschleife, I know a lot people would buy LFS instantly, if it included the Nordschleife.

Quote from bbman :

It's Sunday, what do you expect?

Loaded carparks and track as usual on a Sunday. What did you expect ?

But yesterday the Nordschleife was closed due to a special event "bicycling at the 'Ring"

I stopped watching after Trulli made his first pitstop..
Absolutely boring. I think watching my fishies swim around in the pond is more interesting.

Also thumbs-up for Dutch coverage who manage to put in commercial breaks 2 times in just 12 laps.

Keep it stock and maintain it. Start saving money in the meanwhile but don't give in on any modifications for your Proton. Keep it untill you've found a more "desirable" or "special" car, something like a .. uhm. MX-5.

Quote from Minimaxman :

Couple of pics of the MR2 race car. With about 122bhp, it's not the fastest car in the world, but the handling is simply sublime; you can make it do exactly what you want, when you want, as it's perfectly neutral.

I've seen your movies and some of the others from the mr2 challenge.. looking great ! I wish we had something like that over here.. just sucks here with all the noise limits and ppl complaining.. even the usual trackdays are having problems. What suspension are you running on your AW ?

Ah Solex That's great hehe, props to you for keeping it.

Was fun

I only practiced a few laps with 20% fuel, adjusted the set a bit and.. then didn't drive for a few days. Tonight came and I did Qualy with 20% fuel.. no sweat. I figured 80% fuel was safe for the race. I wasn't too confident with Danowat and Bean0 behind me, they are not exactly noobs lol. So I tried to focus because the RAC can be pretty dangerous in corner entry..
But the 80% fuel load totally changed the car, it was understeering like a FWD and strangely enough I couldn't get the front tyres to warm up the first few laps.. so Danowat could stay VERY close and eventually he could pass me. Heading for the first split he was driving on my right going downhill and I eased off the throttle because I knew being on the inside my car would go to the outside coming out of the "compression". Sadly enough for whatever reason we still hit each other and I had a nice moment but I managed to keep it on the blacktop..after that I had a hard time concentrating.. but finally after a few laps the car started to understeer less so I got more confident.. the remaining laps were pretty easy and I consolidated the second half of the race, making sure I didn't crash.

Nice race and thanks for organising

Yesterday I went to a auto-x / time-trial event with my daily car, a Toyota Starlet. I guess you could compare it to the UF1. It's slow and handles like crap but still good fun lol.

Need stiffer springs.. swaybars front & rear, lowering, etc. etc. etc. etc.

Oh btw my MR2 is dead, well the engine is. No compression anymore
But it's a good excuse to put a 3.0ltr V6 in, it'll be ready to go somewhere in October again. Can't wait
