I myself found not a single bug yet...

The high nose aero exploit? The aforementioned skid sound bug?

Nice race report! Wish there were more like this.

Quote from bobvanvliet :

IMHO you shouldn't look down on drifters like that.

I look down on drifters that describe racing with that retarded term "gripping". The rest are OK guys.

To the OP: Sadly, almost all BL GP rev servers are drift servers, whether the name says so or not.

Quote from KiDCoDEa :

if this review makes anything clear, is that the chase cam, as is in lfs atm, should be droped.

i stress this since day 1 of the chase cam. code it properly (preferably fixed to car alignment and a bit closer) or just drop it.

I strongly agree with this. As it is, the "lag" built into the camera makes the cars look floaty on the video and makes it difficult to judge direction while driving. It should be locked to the car's longitudinal axis. Perhaps with options for look-steer like with the cockpit views.

the replay footage gives the most accurate results, but then the car is in every frame.

But then you get a nice diagram of the racing line to go with the map!

As of the writing of this post, there are exactly four S1 specific servers online, all using the BL GP track, all private, and all empty. Meanwhile there are:

• 28 S2 Blackwood public servers with at least one S1 car enabled.
  
• 9 S2 South City public servers with at least one S1 car enabled.
  
• 15 S2 Fern Bay public servers with at least one S1 car enabled. Four of which have no S2 cars enabled.
  
• 2 S2 Autocross public servers with at least one S1 car enabled.
  

As far as online multiplayer goes, S1 users are getting shafted. Those who buy S1 as a way of testing the full product before committing to S2 will only see a paltry amount of empty servers. How is that supposed to encourage them to buy a multiplayer game? If they could race on the above servers with their S1 cars they would actually have a chance to race the cars they paid for against other people and they would help a lot in filling out the S2 servers, the majority of which are empty most of the time.

I have also observed a growing attitude of elitism and divisions into first-class and second-class citizens. Frankly, it disgusts me. To judge someone as being not worth racing against by how many tracks and cars they bought, regardless of how fast and clean they can drive is the most pathetic kind of discrimination I have seen.
