Not really,this guy called mdo227 has a VW which is basically 300 hp/600 kgs and although it's FWD, he's got 24 skill points
Edit:Either way, how the hell did Split-Second get his Reventon LP600 so lightweight?
Double-edit: WTH?? Did he rename a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 to a Reventon LP600? The Gallardo has 552 hp stock and weighs in at 1500. Doesn't that make it impossible to get it to 300 hp and 500 kgs?
It isn't a downgrade really. It's only weaker by about 20 hp (would cost about 1,400 if not less to get it to the '06 model output), yet it was lighter by almost 100 kgs so it's a better car for less money. Now I can't decide if I should convert it to 4WD or not.
BTW: Edit the first post, my Lotus is now one hell of a ride
It's a pity you couldn't make it, the guys that participated had quite lots of battles, and at one point they've even gone 4-5 wide.
Will attach the replays if there's a request.
Formula Junior was from the start planned to be a relatively short league with an easy but very rewarding car to drive, a 9/14 fixed wing degrees and 12% intake restricted FOX, which made for very close and exciting racing.
First season, back in 2008, got quite a respectful amount of sign ups, although a small majority showed up. Even so, the league did what it promised and offered the drivers that participated a fantastic experience.
After a bit of brainstorming, some changes and a bit of motivation, I've decided that I might bring the league back for a second season. You'll find all the information you need about the league and a decent setup here:http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=1179095#post1179095
1st test event information
Date: 3rd of July
Course: Kyoto Ring Nation (KY2R)
Qualifying Duration: 20 minute session
Race Duration (sprint/main): 9/18 laps
Timetable
(All times in GMT/UTC)
18:40 - All Competitors must be on server 19:00@19:15 - Qualifying 19:15@19:30 - Sprint Race 19:30@20:00 - Race Starts
This track has been chosen for the 1st test race due to a number of factors:
-Some of you have requested it for the league itself.
-It's a relatively wide and safe track.
-It's quite long, thus any doubts about not having close racing on a such a track should be proved useless. If not, it will give us the necessary time to change the last round of the championship.

They do realize that with this move, they will probably have to reduce the price of their other cars since the company will lose it's prestige thus the only valid reason for their high price tags?
That thing just looks like a smart with an Aston Martin front fascia attached to it
Do you know like how stereotypical 16 year old, american teenager girls kiss the posters of singers/movie stars in magazines and keep thinking out loud: "Oh X, marry me!".
Well this is basically the LFS version of that
As you can see in my second post. I bought a standard Lotus Elise S for 24 000 Cr. Each car comes with pre-calculated figures of hp, weight, etc. I had 1000 Cr left which I spent on modifying the car, making it more powerful and trying to save weight.
You win more money by taking a job, participating in shows and racing.
Now although I understand that an older member will have an advantage in competitions and races, Split-Second's advantage is just way to big due to reasons mentioned above.
I agree on Rattus suggestion of moving to a browser app. I believe I have seen such apps in the past, even played in a few so it shouldn't be too hard to incorporate or to modify an existing one.
Downloaded the game a few hours ago, looks like a good way to blow up some steam. Unfortunately it keeps telling me that it couldn't find me a suitable matched so I haven't played online at all.
In a way, I look up to him! Not for the completely cretin thing he did but for the will, determination and courage/stupidity he needed. No war hero/veteran can compare their acts of bravery to this...it's quite epic!
