Just a few examples, far better to ruin a picture of the car than to actually ruin a real one.

Hey the very first pick, the beemer, my friend did that one with his mate.Miler is my friend, dont know the other guy.

He showed me a step by step on how he did this, he saved it in stages. Just amazing. It was actually an Aston Martin DB something...I cant remember and they made it into a beemer. He has some stunning work. True photoshop guru that guy!illepall

Really it was a shocking display!!

Anton just ran to the machines and quickly played with the settings when they werent looking

Its sad to say it, but if i had never raced LFS or any sim before today and had tried it and GTR2 at the expo today....i would wait for the release of GTR2 and prob not think of LFS again.

We met up with someone who looked a very promising driver but has no internet at home, "Enjoys all racing games" he said and so showed his skills. We asked him what he thought and he said no the experience wasnt that good. But then we told him the good side of LFS, a quick breakdown of it all and he seemed more interested. Problem is there was no way we could do this for everyone at the show. Oh yes this is the guy in the video shaking his hand at the car loosing control because of the "LFS wheel shudders".

Those idiots running the stands really irritated me though with there "this is how LFS is and I will ignore what you say from now on" attitude illepall

Quote from Ball Bearing Turbo :I imagine it went like this:

1) Micha ingests some sustenance of questionable nature; I suspect fungal
2) Micha proceeds to play LFS.
3) Micha selects Aston GP / GT whichever it is
4) The thing in his picture appears on his screen; proceeds to extrude itself from his screen, and tries to bite him in the nose
5) Subsequent to initial shock reaction & probably a guffaw or two, he realizes the circuit looks like the sea monster that tried to nab his sniffer!
6) Attention span for LFS falls to negative range and rather than risk another attack on his nose, Micha decides to put his artistic ability to work and share his new discovery here with all of us.

LMAO...sounds like this has come from experience, you got any art work BBT?

Sad news to hear such a well known and respected team leaving the LFS community.

All the best to all the drivers in the future

This is pretty popular at the moment with the GTR cars, there is the Masters of Endurance race this weekend so there is alot of people practicing. Just have to be up for rather long races and not the usual sprint ones but it is alot of fun none the less!

Yes Annabelle races oval, but i have raced her multiple times on Westhill and South City tracks.

She doesnt just go round and round in circles all day like some though.

She is actually racing online at the moment on her server

Hey, my name is Ben Dover, i work for Rent a Gent.

On a more serious note i agree in leagues and more serious events real names should be used, there is a more personal connection between the drivers.

But then in the quick sprint races we all join for an evenings race nicks are just fine. Id rather prefer to be called "that noob exodus" instead of "Charles you idiot!" when learning a new combo isnt going so well

LOL @ CSU1

A friend downloaded S1 demo back in the day and I gave it a spin, but with the KB it didnt really suit me too well.

Played it on and off until part way through last year where one of my friends owed me a little cash, and would you believe it, it was just a little more than what S2 was worth. Having heard it was a huge improvement I told him to buy me a voucher number for it.

Bought a DFP 2 months later when I had the cash.

Been addicted ever since.

Quote from tristancliffe :I'll agree with that. Since the oval was added I just don't bother to look at ANY of the stats. I wish the oval statistics could have their own section, so that us circuit races (who use different cars, and aquire less laps due to the nature of circuits) could have an unmolested stats page.

Yup i got to agree, not picking on oval drivers or anything but it is a laborious process to seperate the oval racers from track racers to do any type of useful comparison.
