Why no photo of Team China???

Here you go my friend. Team China had a great day too.

Gotta love the Kiwis, calling the Aussies LOSERS for being runners up in a comp that they came LAST in. Hehe. Congrats to the Englishmen btw, at least they can go home smiling.

Quote from samdale :

The following link shows a video of my car - F3000V6. Similar to Formula V8.

Cold tyre pressure is usually around 14psi. The front tyre you can see in the video is a Yokohama 220/55ZR13.

I think the tyre deformation evident in Live for Speed is a little exaggerated compared to what you see here.

Nice!

Quote from Racer X NZ :

Personally I don't think the Aussi colour scheme is offensive - they're nearly always at the back of the field anyway so you rarely see them

Yes, we suck at the moment, but at least we have sponsorship from a potentially deadly natural resource. What natural resource sponsorship will you blokes come up with? Paua, bro?

Quote from Racer X NZ :

Did I mention that we're second behind germany ?

We all know Kiwis like being behind things. Germans, sheep etc...

Quote from Racer X NZ :

And where exactly is Australia ?..................

It's that bit of land to your west mate. You know, where all the New Zealanders go to live when they turn 20.

Trans Tasman digs aside, the Kiwi team are obviously very impressive (I was hoping for a Kiwi win once Australia's fate was obvious).
Jonny Reid did a great job on the day, and he and Nico Hülkenberg were a cut above the rest of the field.

Quote from JTbo :

Slick tires do not flex so much, at least IRL, but don't know about LFS.

Dunno if you've seen this, but they do, and quite a bit.

mebeh bebeh, meh beh? meh!

No idea what you're talking about. illepall
Great edit though!

I dunno how you guys can play a racing game with a stuttering framerate. It totally ruins any rhythm and immersion you might have.

Unless you blink a lot.

Here's the older, cheaper, Japanese Maserati.

The Mas looks kinda sad from the back. Reminds me of anold model Prelude.
I'll take either though.

Quote from DeKo :

what i dont get is that they are actually advertising uranium on a racing car?

Good point. How can a team be sponsored by a natural resource? What next, the GBR team sponsored by a Scottish bog?

Actaually, the Aussie government is looking to export uranium to other countries for nuclear power. Scary stuff!

I think that the cars look fine, are fast enough etc, but I agree that some of the liveries are terrible.

If you choose a green and gold colour scheme, dont stick a blue beer logo on top of it. It just looks sh1thouse.

Yep, I'm looking at you Australia.

Some random shots I took at today's A1 meeting in Sydney.

That what would happen?

Fairly simple edit.

Nice, but (and I may be wrong), the blur makes out like the camera was travelling right to left, when it would have been travelling left to right, like the cars.

Bloody hell. His head was mighty close to the ground at the beginning? illepall

Turing off music is always the first thing I do when configing games, especially sims.

It seems I might need to turn it on to see what all the fuss is about.

Quote from Tweaker :

Seems like the oval has died off

Excellent :clapclap:.

Now if only FOX useage would die off also.

Quote from Tweaker :

I guess that is due in part to Redline's BL FOX server

DAMMIT! :irked:

Quote from Bean0 :

IIRC there is/was a thrustmaster wheel with analogue paddles that someone was using as they didn't have the use of their legs.

I use the analogue paddle Thrustmaster, not because of a disability, but because of a lack of leg room at my desk.
Just quietly, I think it makes braking and accelerating a bit more accurate than using your feet.
If only FF worked on mine, then it might actually be an advantage

Can I ease your pain by saying that the game is crap and not worth playing?
I have it on 360 and the concept is great; MMO CarPG with a whole island to play in. Nice variety of cars etc.

The reality is that the car handling is so poor that the game is just not fun.
It tries to be an arcadey sim when it needed to be one or the other.
The game drives a bit like the PGR series, but the environments are not suited to it at all.

Quote from bbman :

That's exactly why I don't want bloom in LfS... It looks absolutely hideous...

You're right, it is ovedone a bit, but I still like the edit. Post it again Vaya, but with less bloom.

Good work Tom.

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :

I think it's because women multi task why they suck so much at driving, men are block headed, anything we do is simple, we want sex we say we want sex, we want food we say we want food, we hate a guy we club him round the head, simple, block headed thinking. Women want sex they act all weird, they want food they hint at it, they hate a women they just say to all their friends "we're not talking to that girl today". Complex, confusing, crap for driving thinking.

Yep, women are much better multi-taskers which is why they perform better in the classroom and in things like executive positions, not to mention child rearing.
Men can focus on single tasks much better. Things like driving and masturbating.

Quote from Davo :

What's a football?

Lol, I was trying to use the universal term for 'footy'.
Europeans get all touchy when you say 'soccer', and they have no idea what Aussie Rules is.

Maybe you can go outside and kick a football?
