@Bean0:
A-Spec, if i remember correctly from the previous GT series, is something like a licence/car class.

a-spec was when you drive 1st person i believe, and b-spec was when you act as a race controller or something telling the driver what to do, speed up, slow down, pit etc.

i am new to LFS but have completed all the previous GT games and loved everyone of them. i konw the previous ones were rubbish physics wise compared to LFS and the new one uses a new physics engine which sounds better than LFS, but the fact is is you can race on £30 and a standard PC which most people have anyways. i dont need to spend £300 etc on a machine just for the job.

as im new i wont black list myself by criticising LFS but id like to see more development and news relating to its progress

as with actual moving brake discs!

good posts

also i want to start racing properly in a team or at least have set races to go to and have my position recorded instead of just being a public nomad lol

any ideas?

a) do the racing servers have administrators who kick you off and always say "XX, please drive, spectate"?

b) whenever i join a race late, and they finish before i get to pit why do i get disqualified? sometimes i have like 7 laps left.

c) how do people talk and drive? i nearly crash just saying 'thanks for letting me passed' etc. or 'sorry for the late braking' lol

d) the conedodgers thing, ive read the site stuff but still dont understand it fully. sometimes on the screen it will say something like "FXR Rank 955/1580" what does that mean?

e) once i managed to win a conedodgers race at AS national, came first out of about 15. do i qualify to race on another server or something?

thanks,

jealousy lol

And the idea that young people in slower cars don't like to put their foot down. Are you kidding me? How old are you? Have you ever been with friends in cars in the first couple of years of them having a driver's license? The ones I've known certainly didn't have fast cars but that doesn't mean that 170 km/h in a rattling 45 bhp Fiat Uno isn't an exiting thing to do at that age.

where did i say that?! i simply said the chances of somebody playing around with a panda is much less likely to end like it did than with a 200+mph german saloon.

Quote from JTbo :

Panda has shitty lights, you don't see much compared to M5

Panda has poor brakes, when you see something it takes lot longer to stop.

In panda they would fly off with less speed, car had rolled few times and when it would come to stop at bottom it would been not regonizable wreck that would have caught fire, perhaps it would not been cut to half in air, but end result would been very same.

your not understanding what im saying. put it this way, you have a group of people. then you get another group of people and give them a gun to play with. the chances of somebody getting shot in that group are alot higher.

ok ok, we'l have to settle on that one.

but can we all agree that adding an M5 to the recipe made a big difference to the result? i mean it takes less than 5 seconds to reach 60, then it will just continue to accelerate up past 180mph no problem. i personally feel the car made it too easy for them to reach such speeds. which means there was more chances for a mistake to happen. and when it happened it was going to be big.

theres no competition lol top gear by miles. although i do like to see tiff's driving skills and jason getting annoyed when he loses lol

all teenagers think they are good drivers and not much you can say or do will stop them driving fast. they have to grow out of it themselves. this guy is a perfect example in point.

Quote from Nathan_French_14 :

Thats not the point. Im pretty sure that even if he was in a panda, he (or whoever was driving) would have still done something silly. Its something you do when your a new driver. Not putting your foot down is too much to resist when your a new driver. Its a new experience so you try the cars performance, handling etc. Sometimes, it can help, and sometimes, there can be tragic consequences as you can see here.

It truly is a sad thing which has happened to all the people in the M5, but it literally does'nt matter WHAT car they were in, im pretty sure it would have been pushed to its limits at some point.

i just dont think that with there would have been the attraction to driving fast with say a 1.2 panda. its the fact that its big, expensive, fast and demands respect that they decided to toy with it. perhaps for enjoyment perhaps for the respect of being able to say to their class mates they did x amount of speed.

maybe if he was in a panda he wouldnt have been trying to max it out on a air strip.

Quote from Stang70Fastback :

I'll do that first thing with my friend next time I go out. How would air get in? Does that usually mean a leak, or that the pump is going bad or what?

could be a perrished seal or a break in the system as you mentioned.

the steering wont get much heavier with normal driving, in fact youd never notice it apart from the noise.

edit: open the cap and turn the wheel lock to lock and see if any air bubbles come out of it.

the car was actually his dads btw.

what parent in the right mind would give an 18 year old such a powerful car??!

sounds like its got a leak and air has gotten in it. air makes the pump make a silly noise.

what makes it not funny is that some guy has spent so much time on it. and he probableys thinks its good.

i agree street racing should be banned completely. if you have a passion for cars and driving like i do then you wouldnt want to race in the streets. you could kill/injure somebody, lose your license, ruin your car, not to mention it would be an unfair race anyways. i prefer city courses in really scenic settings to be the most enjoyable. so you can see where the two may clash.
