Nah, not really. He was fast enough to hold his position. I also spun after the lap I wrecked my suspension, as I wanted to try if I could continue with it. Seems like I couldn't.

Anyway I'm happy with 2nd after the mistakes. I hope I could finally pull out a victory in Blackwood...

Yeah lol, I don't think anyone avoided spinning, except for Velikov.

Hehe, from what I felt in Practice at BL earlier I think I'm pretty quick. So I might legitimately get a good finish there.

Quote from RandomnessInside :

Actually, I just checked and had the tire change setting on "Always" so I changed the tyres even though there was no need to.

In the other hand it didn't matter as there still was like a 25~ second gap between me and Velikov.

Yeah, he really pulled away from the rest of us. I think if we had 10 more laps you might have been able to catch him.

Quote from RandomnessInside :

The pitstop had nothing to do with the worn tires. I could've easily continued on track with worn tyres but I had to make the pitstop because of the wrecked suspension. I was expecting those kind of laptimes anyway...

That's right... I don't know what I was thinking. You didn't even change tires in the pits, they weren't worn enough when you went in.

I had a really fun time this race, qualified last, but that's not to say I wasn't on pace. The whole field was only separated by ~3 seconds. So it was shaping up to be a really close race IMO.

But sadly it was anything but that, lol. We lost nearly half the field in the first 6 laps, I believe. I was running 4th at the time. I eventually made my way to 2nd until Toumas finally caught up to me. I didn't put up much of a fight since he was so quick. I think his pit-stop payed off somewhat, since he didn't have much falloff on his lap times due to worn tires and was able to run blazing laps the entire race.

After all was said and done, we had some more retirements, some for no reason it seemed. And I brought the Kart home to a 3rd place finish, out of 4 cars... Not a huge accomplishment when you think about it, but a podium is a podium. And I'll finally be in the standings. I also ran a faster lap during the race than in practice (1:52.84), which is the first time I've done that in the whole series.


I'll leave this weekend a happy man, excited for the rest of the season.

Lol. I like how my name is "Wilbert" on the results sheet.

Well that's a bit disappointing. I hope to see the results up soon.

Once again, my race was cut short... I only completed 14 laps until I swerved after being run up on by a faster kart and ended up butted against the wall. I probably could have handled the situation better and continue, but I suppose I wasn't meant to finish this one. So I still won't be in the standings, but that can only motivate me to do well at Aston.

I'm really looking forward to Saturday's round. South City has always been a favorite of mine.

Good luck to everyone!

I'm sure to be there. Hope to see a good turnout.

Amazing! Hope to make it for all the events.

Open setups, definitely.

One other sim, not a racing sim, but a vehicle sim, that is including Oculus Rift support is BeamNG.

This is all very exciting to me, finally having a reasonable way to use VR in gaming is truly revolutionary. I wouldn't mind paying $30-$100 for something like this, but a free one sure would be nice.

It's not released.

I'm so sorry, I forgot to post after I tested these. And taking time away from LFS didn't exactly help my memory. But I found the layouts pretty fun, the chicane on Blackwood could use some work though, it felt too slow and abrupt to me.

I was quite confident that Blender was an exercise in "How hard can we make a UI", not 3D modelling

Hardy, hardy, har! Blender, is the best modelling program ever. If you're too lazy to learn some keyboard shortcuts (which is what Blender is based off of), you're too lazy to be posting on a forum.

Quote from Eclipsed :

Before you start revolution to throw off the LFS government,you should know that devs haven't replied to any suggestions... But it doesn't mean they don't read them.
Car artist,yeah,there are lot's of you,wannabe artists...

I was mostly joking about that. But just so you know, I'm pretty experienced in 3D modelling with Blender, an actual modelling program, not that Sketchup trash. I can give proof if you need it.

If they have read our suggestions, then it would make sense to say that they've seen our pleas to give us some kind of sign that they're still here. Yet both go unanswered.

Some very good points have been made here. But if the devs haven't said anything in so long, I think it's safe to say they've abandoned the project.

I propose starting a new dev team! I'd be happy to lend my hand as a vehicle artist.

Hello from Texas. Or should I say, howdy.

I had an idea about pre-qualifying. What if we make it an open session like F1 qualifying? I think it would be a fun way to mix it up and keep everything interesting.

Sounds good, I'll test them after the race today.

I'd be up for testing some layouts. As long as it's not on a Sunday, I tend to be busy then.

Quote from Rappa Z :

4 Wide finish in Indy Lights. Peter Dempsey came out of the last turn in 4th, won by 0.0026 seconds. 0.126 from 1st to 4th.

Rest of the race was really boring.

Wow, that has to be one of the coolest finishes I've ever seen.

Gahh! Why do all the good events have to be on days when I can't compete?

Best of luck to those who compete.

I suppose I'll sign up.
