damn if only i didnt dl the trial vers on fraps id show u some race drifts but anyway if u look at the demo servers, id say 60% were drift, 30% race and 10% carpark, but i purchased lfs 50/50 race/drift.

Dont worry, once my payment for s2 has cleared, u can call drift what ever u like!

How is it not a race? Its on a race track, speed is involved, skills must be 2nd to none and ppl do take it seriously as a new form of MOTORSPORT.

I dont know about you, but id say anyform of motorsport + competition = racing. It may not be 100% racing, and im not saying it is, but it definatly IS a FORM of racing.

Quote from AndroidXP :

Any type of race involves trying to be the fastest. Drifting is not about being the fastest, but about making the nicest drifts, so by definition drifting cannot be a form of racing.

Not always...

There are two types of drift.

1) Show drift - pretty self explanatory really

2) Race drift - two cars start of on a series of corners (usally just 3, very rarely the whole track) with two rounds, one car starting behind the other and visa versa. Now, points? What points. There is no calculation on style/angle/smoke ect ect its simply WHO overtakes the other while engaged in a drift. If someone just drives 'normally' and overtakes the opponent without drifting, the opponent wins.

#2 is the type of drifting you kiddies dont see often at all. Ill agree with you that in LFS drifting is mostly excersised in the #1 manner but in REAL LIFE thats not the case all too often.

are the PS2 stlye controlers any good? like can u control throttle with the X button or only the 'joystick'?

What are you blabbing on about becky, drifting isnt only an 'art', its a style of RACING that is growing so fast thats taken the world by storm.

Its games like NFS that may display drifting in that mannor but i regually have track days with my friends in our silvias/200sx r32 ect ect.

In Australia driftin is growing so huge the local police have frantikly launched numours counter mesures to prevent/punish 'street drifters'. And its not just Australia, its more the whole Asia-Pasific region and even around USA and Canada.

There much more to this point im sure other members on here would love to add, but I guess the UK isnt ready for drifting just yet.

I vote 'other' as in 'this poll is useless and it surely has been covered before so why did you think you're above the Law, above the God, above the Using-The-Frigging-Search-Button-And-Save-Some-Bandwith-Please so get some common sense before Santa's little elves peek through your bedroom window and photograph you naked in front of your Backstreet Boys poster collection'.

Im sure thats what you all do back in your country mate, READ the first post, Im pretty SURE its a repost, but carefactor = 0.

Probably been covered before, but i havnt seen anything yet, what do you use to play lfs, Keyboard, mouse, joystick, steering wheel/pedal, game controler or other?

I was looking into getting a wheel/cutch pedals but im unsure which are compadible with LFS.

Cheers

Another question (sorry!)

whats the deal with credits? Also how do the leagues work? Are they just for fun or can u actually work toward something?

PS Victor, i am tryin to get our own sub forum for LFS in www.nissansilvia.com (aus largest car forum), as previously mentioned, i HAD 4-5 ppl who were going to buy s2, that has now increased to 15+ and seems to be growing faster then a plague!

Quote from AndroidXP :

Err, shouldn't license arrival after paying with Paypal be instant normally? Or is Paypal itself slow?

from the main lfs site:

"Paypal payments are usually instant, except for eCheck and bank transfer, which take some days to be 'Cleared'."

Later, after the payment is made, it says something like possibly a 3-7 day delay in 'clearing money'.


I think it depends on weather u are using a credit card or bank account though paypal.

Im sure u all know which im using based on the delay!
