hahaha!

Guys great servers.. Had one since January and have never ever experienced a problem.. Keep up the good work, and keep down those great prices!!

Yep, our site is down too

Well, Monza this weekend.. Such a fast track it's awesome to watch.. Was there in 2008 with the WTCC and it is great to watch at that first chicane.. Hoping for some good racing..

Would it be possible for somebody to render something like this for me?

With these two skins

Thx in advanced.

Im getting Xcited Grats on new signings, two good drivers there.

Nice bump!

Quote from boothy :

With all due respect Andy, I don't think you have been involved in endurance racing or actually read the rules of major FIA series. A short BTCC or Ginetta race is not comparable to a 4 hour race, with a suspension of the race in the middle. As in real life, the cars were stopped before the start/finish line. As it was a server problem, it had to be restarted. The resumption was essentially these cars just starting their engines again and going again behind the SC as if the server hadn't been restarted.

That said, it may be fairer to take the results of the first part of the race, back to the lap after the time when Timo could not join. This would also eliminate some of the unfairness of the pitting and people staying out, and also anyone else who planned to make a driver swap and could not through no fault of their own.

Okay, I understand where you're coming from.. Sorry if I was over the top or anything, it was just bugging me..

Well here it goes. I have spoken to Benji at the time about this, but yeah it sucks and I didn't get anywhere talking to him. About the red flag situation in my point of view.
Timo was finishing his stint and went to make his pitstop when the server/lfs started acting up and he lost connection, for the next 10 minutes approximately nobody could join the server, which resulted in us loosing 6 LAPS! Now I am lucky enough to be heavily involved in real life motorsport in real life. I have traveled throughout Europe at motorsport events from Ireland,England,Scotland,Wales,Italy,Spain,Portugal and beyond, and each and every track rules varied between 2 ways of dealing with red flags. Some of them had, if the race under 50% complete, it is a full race restart, with race length shortened if necessary, and if the race is over 70/75% complete, the last lap positions from the lap previous to the red flag are the official results.
Yesterday, the race wasn't even beyond 25% of the way through and therefore I think the race should have been fully restarted with the race distance shortened as it was. The variant in real life motorsport that I have witnessed was grid positions for the restart, whether you take qualifying positions or else positions from the lap previous to the red flag.
So yesterday upon the restart, we had lost six laps and Benji had carried our 6 laps deficit forward with us on the restart, which is a horrendous decision in my view. Not only that we lost out dramatically, but if anyone else was in this position I would support them to the ground as I'm sure some people who are involved with real life motorsport and understand how it's run will agree with me.
So as much as I would like our six laps back, what is done is done. Championship points are what we wanted from this race and we all feel hard done by through nobody in our teams fault. So I would ask you guys to really review this rule as it is not a good one.

As I'm sure mainly British people here know of the cars "Ginetta". There is a brand new Irish Junior Championship being introduced this summer, and today was the first official test session which I was at. Niall Murray who plays LFS here too, is driving in the championship and his dad is a class co coordinator. Eoin Murray, Nialls brother is a racing driver too, and races in Europe in a support series to the WTCC(Seat Leon Eurocup). When I described the incident to him today, I asked him what he thinks of this decision. He responded saying "That is a f**king stupid way of doing it, and I have never ever ever heard of any track doing it like that. It is a lottery on who wins/looses on the restart, but everyone starts from scratch again with a possible race reduction if needed."

Can you pls remove Timo?

Also known as Anti Lag (ALS).. Keeps the turbo spinning to improve acceleration which would be a big help for XRR and XRR. Yes for me.

Ministry of Speed have recruited Dominic Klein. Former Zero Gravity Team Boss Dominic has been racing since late 2007 and has taken part in such leagues as ESL Sports League, Open Wheel Racing League and recently has made appearances in the IGTC. Dominic had a couple of strong performances as an individual in the IGTC but unfortunatley the team effort wasn't enough for final results.
Commenting on Dominic's arrival James Peace said "I have known Dominic since my days at spdo and since then I have witnessed his progression as a driver and I felt it was time we made a move in for him. I'm delighted he has decided to join Ministry of Speed and will be a big asset in our IGTC lineup".
We are delighted to welcome Dominic into the team and wish him all the best.
