Quote from Becky Rose :

Unless they can run 30 karts at once on a 1000 metre track you'll never see another kart. Karting is about wheel to wheel racing, not bruising yourself on an empty indoor track.

When looking at that kart track the term 'nordschleife' comes to mind.

Quote from aroX123 :

What about a Norwegian Karting meet?
I've got 2 WR's at two tracks with the renting karts. the 2nd Wr at my first 5 minutes out there. I would like to race with other people
These are the tracks i have WR at. (Use google translate)

Points to the title that says 'UK Kart Meet'

You are more than welcome to make the trip over here - as long as you don't jump in a long boat and burn and destroy every village you encounter on the way to the kart track

Quote from Joe_Keaveney :

Thanks for a brilliant time everyone! I got back on Sunday night from my RC racing but I was just so tired from the whole weekend, I've barely looked at a PC till now.

How did the RC racing go BTW - did you get a downpour?

Nice one mate. Good job with the video and stuff - really cool

Quote from StableX :

What are the chances of LFS Developers creating some gokarts. I think it would be a fantastic addition to LFS that no other sim has done for a long time, if at all.....

Something to consider?

Rumour has it that Victor was working on this very project yesterday

But Schhhhhuuu don't tell anyone ok Andy

Quote from Mp3 Astra :

Now we have four different versions. It's like a jigsaw made of words and a picture.

its more like a game of Guess-Who

Quote from Becky Rose :

I was going pretty quick and was slicing through the traffic better than Michael

Schumacher? or Passingham?

A few action shots,

The Pits - A Calm before the Storm
The Grid

Action2
Bob concentrate on the guy infront - not the ones behind you!
naughty naughty

Look at the Apex not the Camera Passo!

One very sideways Dutch LFS Developer

Also a glimpse of the fastest man on the day around the track.

The Stig came out on the track - interestingly enough it happened when Franky500 disappeared for 10 minutes

+1 to thanks for the SR Guys to organising the whole thing and looking after us all so well


Also Adam and I were paired up with Boothy and we had a great time, managed to get a fine second place in the Mini Enduro - feel guilty that I spun a few times in my stint now

Forgot to pack, so just putting some shiz in a bag and hoping it's fine. I mean, I'm only going to be away for 2 days. What could I possibly need?

don't forget your sleeping bag mate

Quote from Fuse5 :

wheres my plane ticket

have fun guys :P

If you can get to Cardiff mate by 9am tommorrow morning - I'll give you a lift up and you can see the Green on Concept Racing in all their Glory

Quote from Becky Rose :

this time however, they are mine Wet or dry, oh yes, they will be mine

Update on the weather.

Friday RAIN
Sat SUN
Sunday RAIN

we may all be lucky

Quote from Mp3 Astra :

I hope I can get some laps in tomorrow; now I know I can actually make it to the the event. Doesn't look like I'll be under much pressure to put in a properly quick lap

But anyway, I like the circuit and I think, as long as I don't find a stupid place on which to flip over, I should be able to score some decent points.

Then avoid the last corner kerbs like the plague mate

Hi Jase,

Headsup - I've just paid the balance and BBQ money as a 'gift'

Quote from jasonmatthews :

Well I need the rest, so £45 if your staying for the BBQ, as a gift though pls mate

Will be staying for BBQ - but i think that maybe TwinFlow and Passo will be kipping at mine (down in Cardiff) as I don't have a tent.

Will check with the others.

Quote from jasonmatthews :

Reminder to all who haven't paid, I will need the rest of the money by the 11th July, so this Saturday!!

Hi Jase,

Is this the deposit?

The balance?

The BBq fee?

or something else?

Cheers,

Dru.

good luck with your UF Baby R League - from the guys who created it

BL1R is a much better suggestion than BL1. It was a track run in the Season 2 BabyR league to great success.

I think the tracks we have run in seasons 1 and 2 of the leagues so far have been:


AS1/AS1R/AS2R/FE1/FE1R/FE2/FE2R/SO1/SO1R/SO4/SO4R/SO5/BL1R

We have also run races at KY2R which gives close action, also FE3 is a good track for these cars - everything else is a bit too big.

This cars performance is so close that reverse grids DO NOT WORK

you can have a grid full of 32 people whereby they lap within a second of each other. In a reverse grid race of less than 30 minutes there is NO WAY the guys at the back can come thorugh. IF you do this make sure more points are available for the first sprint race.

Best of Luck,



Dru.

sorry for the chat - and for the language used. It summed up my feelings at the T1 incident. Now I wash my mouth out with soap and water!

Unfortunately I can not make round 4 at Aston Cadet.

When the calendar was originally for Sat I could do all events - but with the change to Sundays It meant that I would not be able to compete in this race.

Don't worry thou - I'll be back for round 5

Road races - but how about keeping them with the 4 races at the event? rather than a sprint and feature? just a thought?

Thankyou Adnmin team for giving us mere motals a chance to input

Quote from JO53PHS :

You think that is a joke? NDRC/LFSBC yesterday had a grand total of 5 people

taking into perspective....... we had over 40 sign-ups and 40 people in the first pre-quali

to get now 50% of that is a joke.....


.....what you have mate in your famous words is a 'epil fail' but I can not comment on that mate because I have no understanding of that series and it is not my place to comment on a series that I have no understanding or involvement..

Driving standard is hitting an all time low.

People just have this 'hell for leather' atitude which is spreading throughout the grid.

All races so far this season have had needless crashes and pile-ups and incidences yet there has been no clamp down on this - which leads to more and more of it being on display.

I personally feel that the 3 different cars in different race tracks/environments was a big mistake. People are jumping from one car to the next and have limited/next to no race craft.

With falling grid numbers its clear that this format is not as popular as perhaps others. I also feel particulalry disappoints that people are more concerned about the race time etc etc because it clashes with another series...then people who qualify don't turn up.

What was it today? 21 people? thats a joke, particulalry when then people have no respect in T1 and take out half the grid (ok, 4/5 cars is not half the grid - but you know what I mean)

I hope that at this halfway stage in the championship that something will seriously change to ensure that driving standards increase (dramatically) and that people get back to start feeling the love again....

Quote from khoianh94 :

Race: 1
Lap: 1, turn 1
Cars involved: 00, 03, 05, 12, 13, 18, 44, 53, 77, 99
Brief description: At the corner entry 99 goes wide, 00 pushes 53 to the outside. When 99 tries to enter the track again, he pushes 05 away, causing 05, 12, 13, 00 and 77 and himself to spin or fly away. 03 has no time to avoid a crash with 99, 18 and 44 run into 00. 00, 05, 12 and 18 had to give up.

Possible that it was lag, but in the replay 99 goes very directly into 05...

I am reporting the same T1 incident.

I am Car 05

Race: 1
Lap: 1, turn 1
Cars involved: 99, 05 and half the gris
Brief description: At the corner 99 goes out wide - way off line. Comes directly back onto racing line at slow speed with half the field.
99 hits car 05 which then hits 12 and causes 05,12 and other cars to finish race there and then.

Quote from TFalke55 :

hmm I cannot race today, because of technical reasons...

too bad mate - but at least you did not get taken out in the carnage again of a bunch of muppets who can not drive to save their lives.....

Quote from Kristjan.J :

Nothing really clashes with you guys, just the motivation is low.

Thats a shame mate. Is it for any 'real reason' ie too many car types used - tracks used? reversed grids, points, driving standards etc? would be good to get feedback for future events
