I hope to see some nice blogs about your day out at Ferrari.
Gratz .

Quote from danowat :

And there hasn't been a "proper" MG for a dogs age, but by damn they've slapped their badge on some shite cars in the past, MG Maestro?, MG Montego? LMAO

The MG Maestro 2.0 is a surprisingly good car. Have you ever driven one?

Although i agree putting an MG badge on a Montego was a bridge to far.

Is it possible to renew your subs using only a gift voucher?. I was thinking of banking some dollars in the form of gift vouchers whilst the exchange rate is favourable.

or will paypal let me buy $ or turn my balance into $?

Any changes in the pipeline for the pricing structure?
Also when is the April build due?

Good news! thx Scawen

Is there any chance of an official release for our favourite new layouts? such as KY extra long for all the endurance leagues. Im guessing that we wont be able to run full blown races on these free roam edited layouts?? (or can we)

Would be cool if the community could vote for their top 3 new layouts & then have them included in LFS for real so we can race & hotlap on them.

You could buy S1 first to see if you like it. A wheel is a must as it adds to the immersion. good 2nd hand wheels can be found on many sites/forums

I think they should run a GP @ PI, for a change.

"& today's Fail Thread award :trophy_si goes too..............................."

works in XP. Trusty old wheel, pedals are a bit naff. pay no more than $30 for one.
doesnt win7 have xp compat mode?

Quote from justasimfan :

So what do you think ?

Im wondering why a demo player is even bothered tbh?
LFs is still alive & is still one of the best online racing simulators money can buy.

You could have a tire blowout = spin into grass = dead tire digs into grass and the car barrel rolls.

True, or you could attend a track day at LRP

Quote from bbman :

It's iRacings restrictive system that holds it back imo - there is so much variety in LfS' leagues, iRacing cannot even dream of with their current system.

+1 LFS allows its users to create & invent all types of competitions, leagues & events. iRacing is primarily a revenue generator.

Quote from sil3ntwar :

Your on a track driving your car at its limit. You need a helmet noob.

No he doesn't. Unless he plans on barrel rolling into something solid or ending up parked on his roof why would he need a helmet?
If he needs a helmet then he also needs a roll cage, cause if the roof caves in the helmet will not save your neck/spine.

I have a PS3 Version of this game for sale. Anyone interested £10

(& franky how much did your stupid upgrades cost you?, next year it will all be old tech anyway)

Quote from Cornys :

Well, technicaly, everything is natural because humans are natural.

So you think splitting atoms is a natural process?

Quote from BlueFlame :

Natural Selection's a bitch.

There is nothing natural about nuclear power. This is no place for your dumb, insensitive, fail jokes.

Sergio Perez set a surprise fastest time for Sauber on day three of Barcelona testing, as the Swiss squad interrupted Red Bull's dominant week. There was no doubt that the Mexican's 1m21.761s - even quicker than world champion Sebastian Vettel's Wednesday lap - was done on a low-fuel qualifying simulation, as Perez went through a string of one-lap runs during the morning, but the pace was still impressive regardless of the car's configuration. A later race-style run was interrupted by a KERS problem and Perez also caused a late red flag by stopping at the pit exit.
Felipe Massa's second place time for Ferrari, 0.331 seconds down on Perez, was also achieved on a single lap outing just a few minutes after the Mexican's lap, so Sauber could be very content with its day. Ferrari also achieved impressive mileage again, Massa leading the day's lap count with 127.
Red Bull was only third this time, with Mark Webber's best of a 1m22.466s coming on a relatively light but not totally empty run - the Australian staying out for a further four laps after putting in that time. It came during a fascinating phase of the morning when both Red Bull and Ferrari kept doing short runs almost in unison and setting comparable times, as testing briefly resembled a pole position battle.
Rubens Barrichello twice pulled off and caused stoppages, but the Williams still managed to cover 105 laps and go fourth-fastest with a 1m22.637s on a qualifying-style run.
Mercedes also set its best time on a very short stint. The team mostly ran heavier fuel loads as it worked to get a baseline with its new exhaust design before adding the rest of the major upgrade package for the second half of the test. But Michael Schumacher also slipped in a 1m22.892s on a single-lap run to complete the top five.
Lotus split its day between its two race drivers - which worked out much better for Heikki Kovalainen than Jarno Trulli. The Italian only completed six laps before a gearbox change was required, and then a water leak prevented any further running. A slight water leak remained for the afternoon - a replacement radiator having been damaged in transit - but Kovalainen was able to do 39 laps and take seventh.
It was a similar story at Renault, as a KERS problem limited Vitaly Petrov's mileage in the morning, though he still covered 24 laps and did a time good enough for eighth before Nick Heidfeld - back after his illness earlier in the week - took over and grabbed sixth in the secnd session.
Force India and Toro Rosso focused on mileage and longer runs, and yet more pitstop practice in STR's case, as Adrian Sutil and Jaime Alguersuari both exceeded 100 laps in ninth and 10th. Jerome D'Ambrosio again brought up the rear for Virgin.

Could Sauber be mixing it with the heavyweights this season?

Quote from FPVaaron :

There is a 200x50km lake 4000 meters under an antarctic ice sheet the lake is at a life sustaining temperature, shortly after it was discovered private research was forbidden and it was made classified.

B.S, your source? There are lots of scientists down there most of the year + half the world has laid claim to a slice of it. I never knew it was so popular.

You seem to be overlooking the fact that this is NOT real life racing & the programmers are just plain lazy. for instance how hard would it be to add an exception into the code whereby if you hit a car that has spun or lost control in front of you, you dont take an SR hit. The system is only there to protect from wreckers & people who cant drive, so punishing everyone involved in an accident is just another excuse for the unfinished product.

The general trend at iRacing is they have an excuse for everything. If they haven't got one, they will just ignore you.

Im currently running 4000x1024 with a 250GTS + secondary card. sli mobo with soft th. The cheapest way to go triple screen.
Just for comparisons sake.

Tony Gardner looks like doing short business with kiddies. I really can't wait to see it in action.

Care to expand on that?, for those of us who do not have access to the IR forum. thx

Can i update from 1.2 or does it require a fresh dl?

i am green with envy , gratz to all
