Where did CoRe.starry go? I miss his mini (UFR) (must be due to his English roots).

Congratulations guys!

Coming from Europe and thus being able to compare, this platform (LOTA is more than just a league) is certainly one of the best well organized platforms I've been working with and a great meeting place for all LFS fans (both starters and experienced racers).

Simple, your onboard graphic card is just too slow (and limited) to actually play games with. Your current fps is for ~99% based on your cpu. Overclocking of your graphic card may make a (small) difference, but generally spoken: that graphic card is unable to deal with games.

O btw about the cpu usage: LFS is a single thread game and thus only uses 1 core. Basically it is using 1 core for 100% and the other core for ~0% (depending on other processes running).

Quote from banshee56 :

All of our racing happens on LOTA League Server 1, and also on LOTA League Server 2 if a series has enough drivers, like our current Grand Touring Cup.

And Banshee does not only see my rear bumper on the track, but also on the forums!

Quote from Toddshooter :

Is the server named LOTA? I don't think I've seen it before. Texas is on Central time right?

LOTA League server 1 (/2)

You can also check www.lfs-lota.net for more info!

Take a look at www.lfs-lota.net

A large populations of (North) Americans are participating in multiple leagues (currently a MRT Cup and a Grand Touring Cup are running).

THis thursday a TNT will be heald, meaning lots of short races with multiple cars.

In any aspect this site will increase your ability to compete with a lot of (skillfull) people.

awesome and much anticapted program henry!

Kinda depends on the region you're in (and the amount of antennas per region, per provider)

I have AT&T (former cingular) and fairly pleased with them.

Quote from GTR_Yuni :

It's not a problem, even if I'm a good driver a 14 year old is verrrrrrrrrrrrry out of place in a team with many "older" and more experienced drivers IMO anyway

(I might consider getting a wheel+pedals soon though, but I'm unsure on this)

Yes, Banshee sure cranks up the average age of a team :P

But age does not has to be a problem, it is all about how serious and mature one is to race. If you can race in a competitive, respectful way, a lot of teams will consider you as a future driver. After all 'older' and experience will come with time

Anyone looking for a new teammate?

Quote from banshee56 :

Wait....why did you say you're 14 when your profile says your 51?

Banshee hopes there is someone else like him!

Don't hope too much that another person on this world exist who is mental 14 and physical 51 and has an average age of 35, Lee :P

I'm known being very stubborn :-).

o/ concratulations for both!

Again not completely surprised - guess i hang out too much on Vent with you guys to be surprised :P - but congratulations CoRe and CWmax!

Quote from banshee56 :

RMachucaA, PeterLaan, Borbor, and Carl078 are all from Canada.

Brian is from the US.

Border as in racing abroad :P and not NA only

Lee, isn't it your birthday soon? Grandpa :P Get used to those brain farts since they will occur more often when you get older.

O btw, this time you can't blame it on my accent ;P

Concratualtions Brian and CoRe! This was a total suprise....NOT! :P

Good to see you guys are (finally?) stepping over the border and expend your activities!

Boerenkool met worst!

Congratulations FPR

Gai-Luron first of all thank you for your work.
Secondly your download link appears to be not working anymore.

Quote from MARSH2a :

I want to notify those that have raced with and/or know pjwon63, that he suffered a stroke yesterday and is in the hospital. Our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.

Quite a shock to hear (as I mentioned in the LOTA thread). I really hope he'll be able to recover quickly and please let us know how he's doing.

Quote from mrodgers :

A bit late there, AppiePils. Have a look at 2 posts above yours, LOL.

Congrats Indiana Jim. A good team you joined there. I just praised LOTF in another post about US/Canada racers, as well as the other LOTA league participants.

Quote from MARSH2a :

Appie is never as slow on the track as he his on the forums...

Mike, always one of the first to throw compliments our way... Thanks!
Look for us on our servers in the evenings, we're going to be practicing/racing for IGTC and the 24hr race in the FZR's.

Haha, omg, back to the ophthalmologist - i want a different set of eyes.

O well I figured it was just fun to help out a new racer, but good that LOTF already did that. Congratulations!

Quote from Indiana Jim :

So, that would leave someone like me to start a team, right? What other choices are there? If you want to race and be with folks of your liking, that would be the only recourse.

Along with that what Banshee and Marsh already have said: looking at your stats (which for practically all teams serve as a first impression) you just started your LFS career. Is it strange that teams won't let you join at this particular point. For most teams speed is not the only issue to select a member, but also loyalty, activity, behaviour on and off the track etc. Something they cannot judge at this particular moment in time. So don't be upset or think no one wants you, just go race with them and make them notice you in a positive way.

About teams at LOTA, like Banshee said you can team up with any other driver. As the only NA 1ST racer I teamed up with a racer whom didn't had a teammate either (LOTA Rally). If the M-GTR cup has the setup, it would be nice to have a teammate (hint ;P).

Quote from three_jump :

Happy Birthday Arst racing

heheh, now i know why you names yourself three jump, cuz you're gonna receive three kicks right under yah butt which will make you jump.


Anyway I'm glad we can call ourselves toddlers, and I'm still happy Ray changes my diapers.
