Another attempt to encourage overtaking it would appear. I think however that the current points system should remain in place this season, although it is clear that an incentive to complete the race as quickly as possible is needed.
It is suggested therefore that three hours before the race each driver must consume:
a) A chicken Vindaloo.
b) 8 pints of Guinness.

Before the race commences drivers will be allowed to pee only. This will not only encourage drivers to race like hell, but should also serve to make pit stop strategy more critical.

Some day in the near future young man your balls will drop, and you will realise instantly just how bollocks the 'fast and the furious' actually was.

According to Ferrari's press release for the reveal of their 2008 car, the standard ECU that all teams must use is made by MES (McLaren Electronic Systems).
Call the lawyers quick.

Quote from Trondhe :

If I want to have some fun and add loads of AIs with a F1 car on a rally track I should really be able to do so.
Realistic or not.

I fear that Santa will sail past your window at speed, pausing only to fart.

Wonderful insight into real world driving and it's interpretation within the game from someone whose sig states that he plays LFS with a 'ripoff Playstation lookalike Joypad'.

Same here Sam. Just came from BL1R for my 2nd visit there since Y, and on both occasions track was throwing yellow flags as you describe.
Others on the server pointed this out too. Suggest keep away from this one for CTRA until sorted, has already knocked my yellow flag ratio up a notch and might have done same for others.

this suggestion has entered the garbage bin in a spectacular fashion.

Like it

Sad indeed. I saw him perform at Wembley Stadium a long time ago, a great showman.

Yes, this morning. Though it could have been the baked beans.

Hank - send the giant squid after him.

Give the squid a monocle.
There, more spectacle.

Were any bears harmed in the acquiring of those screenshots?
I don't have a bear fetish. Honestly.

Quote from farcar :

The squid would need to get passed either the snipers on the castle or the hammers to get to the bear anyway. UNLIKELY!

Even if the squid did make it to the bear pit and attack , who do you think would win presuming the battle was on dry land? A marine cephalopod or a 10 foot grizzly.

Please think things through before making stupid posts.

At no point sir did i suggest that the giant squid would end up on the winning side of an encounter with a Tilke-specification grizzly. I am quite sure that there are as many dumb-ass squids as ones with a tad more savvy and sense of self preservation.

Bugger, Nurse is coming...

Quote from thisnameistaken :

I think the fact that he's confined the bears to a pit is a clever solution to that problem. He hasn't provided a ladder for the bears to climb out, and he hasn't provided any abseiling equipment for the squid to safely rappel down into it.

Thank you for the clarification. I was concerned that should the giant squid attack the bears, then both hazards would be rendered ineffective to drivers who had not as yet approached them. This would of course present an unfair advantage over those who already had to deal with the bear pit and the aforementioned giant squid monster thing.

Is the giant squid restrained in some manner? I am concerned it may attack the bear.

Takumi,

That's a terrific video. Really enjoyed it. What a layout!

Though the answer is going to be no regardless, out of interest what were you considering?

I sincerely hope that for your sake your command of English improves after your balls drop.

I think LFS is very good indeed for an Alpha, but agree with the article. A follow up after final release would be interesting.

My experience is the same as Strobe with the smell and notchiness. You might want to double check the connector at the wheel though. I have had a problem in the past where the cable was getting caught when clamping the wheel to the desk and this put a strain on the connector.

Quote from GTR Racer :

us that dont hav money should be able to have a good version of lfs too i must say the same track over n over same car etc is getting BORING!!!!

make s1 free!!!!!! or die

What an excellent idea. Make S2 free, hell make S3 free too! Don't stop there, make beer and whisky free too!
GTR Racer for President, you know it makes sense.

Just turned 44.
According to Death Clock I died in August 2003, which explains my lap times.

Quote from Cue-Ball :

Pony up for an S2 license and you're a lot less likely to have problems with those types of people. Most S2 servers are full of pretty friendly people looking for some good racing.

Right on. It is far better. Though you will occasionally still see the odd rocket scientist trying to mess people's races up though. I think they view it as being a productive means of passing the time whilst they wait for their balls to drop.

Quote from Bob Smith :

I'd just like to see individual split times instead of combined times (since you started that lap). Like we get when hotlapping.

Yes please. I would like to see plus/minus on the splits from lap to lap too (is that an option I've missed?). Also, if I pit to make some changes (offline), I would like my previous lap times to remain so I can directly compare any improvements.
Would also like lap time history for a session.

Quote from Warper :

I think it's called "antilag" right?

Guess it has a few names, having stood next to a car whilst it was being tested I'll settle for 'bloody noisy'.
