Troy is Swiss, isn't he? If so, and he joins, get ready to get your asses kicked! (If his LFS driving is anything to go by)

Sounds like a lot of fun, events like this. Actually I've never tried karting myself. Gotta do something about that some day.

Yeah Troy is Swiss i wrote him a PM yesterday so i'll hope he will join the event. I drive in real life better than in LFS :P SO i hope with Troy joining there wil be some more competition

Quote from Polaxis :

Wow, that's pretty expensive. I remember our team meeting in Germany where we paid a lot less for 2 hours!
I'm interested and I hope my studies will allow me to come. So put me on the list.
What kind of carts will we race? The normal ones or the racing carts?

Yeah it's quite expensive but since we live in Switzerland we are common to it ^^ If we get more people than 15 i'lorganise something diffrent together with the manager of the kart track so if possible we will get more time or pay less.

I'll look to get the racing carts ^^

Quote from Dajmin :

Excuse me if I'm missing something here, but what is the actual point of this thread?

They're all based on the same model, the only difference is the engines. And the engine has no bearing on it "looking like an LX". I could poke around and find a hundred pictures of the same car, then post a pic claiming the engine was a Scoobymatic 5000. It makes no difference

btw just look at the models that aint just the engine diffrent. its interesting to see the same base but diffrent concepts, engines, bodykits.

@ all: there will be some more stuff added like website url, flag of country, some data about engine weight so you can compare ^^

@ Zefram: Thank you for supporting me and for adding some new cars to the list. I'll add the Kaipan 47 & 57 but will need to check the Kaipan 14 in more details cause i dont think its a "real" replica of the Seven.

**UPDATE**

Can't add the Kaipan 14 'cause it's based on a Skoda Fabia with some new chassis and new body kit.


**UPDATE 2**

added Kaipan 47 & 57 to the list.
added Birkin S1 to the list.
added Donkervoort D8 RS, D8 "Bullet" and D8 270 RS to the list.
added Brunton SuperStalker to the list.
added VM Seventy-Seven Duratec, Turbo and Turbo RS to the list.
added Ultimate Roadster extreme to the list.
added RAW Striker to the list.
added RCB HS 20, RS 20, 2.0l Cosworth 5/6 gears, 2.0l Ford Zetec to the list.
added Rudolph Roadster Diardi to the list.

Quote from mickyc30 :

hey, i was just wondering if anyone knew what car the LX6 resembles in real life, i got GT4 today and saw it on the startup preview, and ive been looking for it ever since, so if anyone knows the maker, and the country its from, that would be awesome.
Thanks Michael

as my dad owns a Caterham CSR 260 i know that the LX 6 dont look equal to it. Here some pictures from lotus Seven and its licenced "replicas". I found the equivalent of it:

back to topic anyone has already started with it? just saw that this thread is one of the most viewed skin request threads ^^ but nobody wants to take the challenge :bullwhip:

Last edited by eight8acht, Mon 25 Feb 2008, 16:05. Reason : corrected a spelling mistake

I like the idea of my swiss friend :P It would be nice to have to pay for cars and tyres and for repairing damage. As you want LFS to be more realistic

This feature, would be nice to keep noobs away and to see them from far away. I know that this feature will make it hard for cruisers cause there is a lot of crashing but as i crusie most of the time it will amke it more fun to me!
