I say good luck to him/them ,

Some of us really enjoy alot of realism , and its highly unlikely they will take any action , or at least it would be difficult for them , perhaps putting something on the website to say that it isnt the real team and providing a link to them and its definately fine.

I wasn't able to complete almost all races I tried,thanks to some overly agressive drivers

yeah i'll definately second that , I thought the league was going to be like STCC cause it can be used to practice for STCC , but other drivers still think they can use your car as an inside rebound when going round some of the BL corners

Calum

I only ever watch the first one , tonite it is excellent Seat Cupra and Renault Clio stuff !

Calum

Alrite there m8 ,

firstly and most imporantly is thanks for viewing and commenting and showing interest.

I am willing to commit all my free time to it.

I am aiming for Ntech to be one of the most realistic teams in LFS at some point in the future but of course I dont want the drivers to commit all free time to it ( even if I do lolol ). All I ask is you are able to come on whenever you can to practice the circuit and car , but it would be even better if the drivers are on at the same time their 2 teammates are on , to allow experience at racing / lapping reasonable times , consistently , and most importantly ... together ! Or to be on at times when the FXO team " technician " is online , so they can work to get a better handling and perfomance car that suits their individual driving style.

Perhaps we can arrange a time over the next 2 days or so ? to get onto BL GP and we go through the paces and put some practice time in.

Dont worry too much about not being exceptionally fast , I cant really explain what exactly is " reasonably fast " as I said in my first post , but I would say consistency is a good start , so if you can do many laps together without going off , then thats just as important.

thanks

Calum

speaking of skins and cars and such Phil ,

see the Teams section of LFS forums ... you probably have some idea of what its about

Calum

A new LFS Team aiming to mirror the real WTCC Italian Team " Ntechnology " has this afternoon announced it has 2 drives available running their Alfa Romeo 156 ( FXO Turbo ) cars in the Turbo Mini League , that starts this Saturday.

The team have been setting up for just 2 weeks and have already secured a promising driver for their #15 car , Calum MacDonald , to compete in the 2-month long campaign.

This is not the official launch of the team , but with Saturday being the first race of the season in the TML , Ntech have decided the time is perfect to gauge interest and the abilities of potential drivers.

Basically we are about 2 things , a quite high realism factor , which absolutely is not for everyone. LFS is of course only a game and is great fun , so of course we will have a laugh and mess about in other combos , but the point is that when the team enter a League or Championship , we become a little more serious. And the second and final objective for us is a VERY high teamwork factor, even higher than the realism.

Just about every WTCC race re-run / repeat is available on the FIA WTCC website ... http://www.fiawtcc.com. When viewing these videos , as I often do , 2 weeks ago , I realised I think EVERY team that had entered 2 or more cars , all had drivers that were consistent yet reasonably fast , that all drivers were comfortable dealing with / being around other drivers ( they didnt panic even slightly ) , and that they often lapped together with their teammates , with no pressure driving , just all working as a TEAM to motivate/"pull" each other round the track.

If you take a look at these videos , I am talking about the Alfa's , the Seat's and the BMW's ... a.k.a ... Ntechnology , the Seat factory team and the BMW factory team's of U.K , Germany , Italy and Spain.

I realised if they can , it should be similarly possible in LFS , if the drivers are capable of it.

I wont go into much more detail as like I said this isnt the official launch , but I should be in and out of LFS servers at some point or another for the rest of the day , practicing at BL GP ( the race this saturday ).

LFS experience is preffered but not essential , and of course any previous experience in leagues / cups / events would be good to have , but ultimately if you are a decent person who is easy to get along with , interested in contesting the Turbo Mini League in the FXO as part of a 3-car team with drivers that have similar experience and motivation , that can train as regular as possible and have good consistency , then please drop by on a server when I am on and we can chat some more.

Please only contact me if you are happy with the high realism and teamwork factors that are kept within this team , if you enjoy changing car combo's , single seaters and being in a good-sized team , then unfortunately this team is not suited for that.

Also the position is available for anyone who is expereinced regarding FXO setups to join the team as a " technician " or someone who can offer their help every few days to talk with the drivers and help tweak the set. In return for doing this a test driver / stand-in driver position will of course be open to you , but you must understand and be able to alter confidently FXO setups for the team.

Thanks everyone for veiwing , anyone interested in driving positions you know what to do ( explained above ) , and anyone who is just looking at the new team please leave comments good or bad !.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

As mentioned in the topic title ... the Turbo Mini League drivers list is currently full , so no indepent drivers can now join or will be put on some waiting list I would imagine ... however , 2 of the 20 slots are currently named as " Reserved " , which is of course for this team , so it is a good oppurtunity to gain experience and a drive at such late notice in this ( what looks to be very competitive and exciting ) League. Ntech hope to run a 3-car outfit in this ... what they are treating as their experience-building ... league , but if no 2 drivers can be selected before this saturday morning , then the positions shall be given back to the league admins , and so 2 slots for independant drivers will become available again.

wow thats quite cool you can do that with skin Phil , nice hehe , definately get it re-done-up before the weekend tho , cause that is a danger to the other cars as well as the probability it will collapse before the end of the race saturday evening lol.

Calum

low 1:24s and i'll do it again I am sure.

Calum

that some people in this world have never set foot inside a traditional New York City cab , with the old school yellow and black colours and original yet surprisingly comfy back seats , vintage steering wheel and dials , with just a tinge of history jumping out from that old yet always reliable specification engine.

Speaking of taxi's , the other day I saw ...

Hello and welcome ( at least posting wise ) to LFS ,

www.simfia.com DID used to run the F1 Championship , I understand they switched to rFactor now but do still run some LFS events.

As far as I know , there isnt a all-BF1 League , try the Open Wheel Racing League for more information on Championships that run the BF1 mixed with the FO8 and others , they can be found in the " Leagues and Events " topic in the LFS main forum.

Calum

I voted 20:00 , but 19:00 or even 18:00 are probably accetable for me also.

Calum

straight away its put to good use

What times is everyone doing here ?

I can do low 1:25s constantly , but never ever seen / dont think i'm going to see any type of 1:24 I try really hard and just barely miss it.

Calum

gotcha , I read that in first post too forgot bout it tho.

thanks

Calum

very good point , I have looked often over the last two days ,

there is no BL GP FXO server , and if there is , no one is EVER on it

Lets change that !

I don't think there are special numbers or skins (thank god) requiered for this league. So I bet you can take whatever you want

Yah its just in case anyone else was going to use them , if its o.k with everyone I would like these numbers to be used on the cars I have reserved , thanks.

Quote from I don't think there are special numbers or skins (thank god) requiered for this league. So I bet you can take whatever you want :

Yip I am happy with this also , I just need the numbers for realism because of something

Calum

I would like to ask if possible for me to take these numbers ( for display on the cars ) ...

my car ( Calum - FXO #15 )

reserved - FXO #16

reserved - FXO #18

Those who are smart may realise whats coming soon , but i dunno if anyone will

Thanks

Calum

Hello folks ,

I would like to get in touch with any decent / experienced LFS member who can render both helmets and skins ( if its possible to render a helmet ? ) , to discuss the possibility of some pictures being done before the end of the working week , for the launch of a LFS team happening soon.

Please contact me on msn or via this LFS PM for a little more information , but only rendering folk who can provide high quality and even higher realistic renders please.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Calum
