Well, not many sims have as little feedback as LFS does, so it kinda makes sense. I think the RAC is a beautiful car to drive, especially if driven as carefully as in the previous video posted. Look at the incar footage. The guy seems to be cruising along, and yet a sliiight touch of the throttle mid corner adn the rear steps out instantly, and anyone that have driven any mid-engine car know that they step out FAST!

I got quite a bit of info on the '92 Mazda 323 GTR handy.

Making it in rF at the moment.

Road Atlanta.. *drools*

I've only driven it in rFactor, but I love the layout!

I still don't get the FedEx arrow... Am I looking at the right logo?

Edit: Never mind, finally figured it out...

Never played the earlier titles, but got this as soon as I hear about it. I've played a few hours so far, and I love it! I need to get better at tactics and finding out what works and what doeasn't, but that's part of the fun!

And it looks gorgeous too, and runs pretty well on my aging machine.

I bought it, played it for about 20 minutes, felt queasy and took a break for an hour. Then played it another 30 minutes, puked my guts out and returned it.

Awesome game, love the concept, but I can't stomach it.

Yeah, I forgot to consider the angular velocity, I was thinking torque only! I guess the viscous diff don't look at torque at all, only rotational speed difference.

So how does the mechanical LDS in the rear work? I've been told it's not a clutch based system, but a purely mechanical LSD like in the RX-7 FD.

Hello!

I've recently bought my first awd car with limited slip diffs. It's a '92 Mazda 323GTR, which has an open front diff, viscous center and mechanical LSD rear diff.

I have thought about this for a while, and I can't see what would prevent the inside front from spinning like a normal fwd, and then 'using up' all the available torque. Can any of you try to explain this to me?

If you read the article it says it was an unattended belt...

Swedes...

I hope they fix the turbo modelling first. That TFSi engine will be crippled if we have the current spoolup and general turbo behaviour.

Anybody got a spare promo for a friend of mine?

Petrol forced induction engines usually benefit greatly from 'chipping'. Usually they up the boost to about where you are compressor limited, and injection, ignition and timing is adjusted to compensate. Usually they have narrower margins for fuel quality and such, and more agressive timing. Often with fuel octane restrictions as well, due to higher boost. My Passat went from a stock 150hp/230Nm to 211hp/355Nm by chipping (and a freeflow intake. Values were confirmed by dyno) alone. They upped the peak boost from the stock 0,55Bar to the compressorlimited 1,50Bar. The car ran like this for several years, and not a single problem due to chipping. As far as I know the car still runs fine.

Depending on engine of course, but usually engines are so restricted due to taxes and emissions.

Also, take a little care as to what program you choose for your car. There can be a large difference in driveability with different maps. I tried a program that had even higher peak power, but the powerband was very different. Probably cool for kids, cause it had tremendous 'turbokick', but not very driveable. The program I settled on was very nice to drive 'regularly', and awesome when pushed. My wife never even realized the car was chipped until I told her to push the pedal. Then she sat with a big grin and asked me "what did you DO to this car?!?"

Ok, can we stop about the price now? Some of us will pay, and pay gladly, some others won't. We're not going to agree on this. So just stop. Please?

Vicky I just want to smack her whenever I see her. Sabine is just... too Schumaker to be likeable. So neither for me.

If $13 a month is what's keeping you from 'real racing' then I'd say you were cutting it to the bone already. $13 is what I pay for 4.8liters of fuel for my car. That would take me about 8 laps on track. Then there's the trailer, the van, the tools, the tires, the stuff I break and so on... If $13 is all it takes for you not to race that month then dude... Get a sponsor or a job...

Well, maybe the manual says how? Or you could call support? ...

Amazing the amount of trash people leave behind after only a few days in one spot...

Well, I've got my invite, so I'm in the next rollout. I'll tell you how it feels compared to LFS AFTER I've tried it. So far all I can say is 'the videos look good'.

That looks great! Nice little track there. Some nasty kerbs though. What car are you driving?

Don't take much to upset a car at the limit. Hooking a tire on the inside like that will definetly do it for ya. I'd say that shows how GOOD the LFS physics are, rather than a flaw.

When the above post makes perfect sense.

They are great cars for sure. I like the handling of them, and the look. The interior is a mixed bag.. Personally I think it tries a little too hard, but that's a matter of taste. Technically you can't go wrong with a Mazda anyway. Disregarding mr. LFSnoob here, I think that little spoiler really add to the looks and lines of the car.

"What, this ISN'T the X-games?"

I'm game!
