I did do that, he's not very good at bf1.

However, having read his post again I realised I'd misundestood what he'd written!!!!! Doh! He wasn't saying that bf1 is rubbish but giving another example of a generalisation. So I just changed my post to 'lfs'

ok he is .4 slower on blackwood than you. but he did it in 30 laps, you needed over 1100 .

i don't wanna pick on this any more, but it's definately not jealousy .

Quote from southamptonfc :

Ha, Jealousy, you didn't understand what I wrote, like you probably don't understand how to drive the BF1

hrhrhr, awesome! you really should at least check lfsworld before you post something like this . you are talking with sinbad here :P

i cannot think of any other good game where rx is implemented at all. so lfs is my choice

as tukko said, the lx6 is great for rallycross, although my personal favourite will always be the fz50.

unfortunately, the devs decided not to work on the rx part after s1, but i am hoping for the best.

i am really looking forward to a new rx league .....mask?...busta? where are you guys?!?!

racing the fxr with slickmod is a blast is awesome and is the nearest thing you can get in lfs to a div 1 rx car.

one big problem for hardtrack racers is the collision-problems lfs has that are way more severe because of the many bumps. you have to adjust and drive even more clean and fair than on the hardtrack servers to survive a race. sadly many new rx-drivers do exactly the opposite.

thx again for this, dodo.

i enjoyed each racing evening we had the last wednesdays a lot.

no one should know who the stig is!

you have to know that the gti is way more competitive than the gt in rallycross.

especially on the stcc servers i switch to the gti on those tracks (and i really don't like fwds, but i like rx ). in a gt you are too vulnerable to the driving style of most gti racers out there. if you lose momentum in a gti, it's not a big problem, because it is that light and gains speed again quickly. in a gt (edit!) you WILL lose positions even from a little hit into your side.

even if the WRs are pretty close together, in a race it's really difficult to win.

nice to see a stereotype confirmed .

tonight i had the most fun of all races we had in this series. great racing.

well i am still not sure we are really talking about the same cars here.

just some examples of rx cars used in the european championship:

i don't want to sound like a smartass here, but really don't think you are reffering to the european rallycross championship.

Quote from Stew2000 :

Or a Skoda

or a simca rally 2 or a nsu tt!! i would love to see a car like this in the xfr/ufr-class.

Quote from Gunn :

Some drifters in this community are very very fast racers actually.

Who?

i didn't mean to offend a whole continent by saying that the scca is just not compareable to the original rallycross in europe. sorry for that. the vids i saw looked like amateur events, maybe i saw the wrong ones .

as is said, citroen is developing its rallycars in the erc. basically the cars are lighter, more powerfull wrcs.

that the best drivers advance to leagues where more money can be earned is natural. certainly the best rallydrivers race in wrc.

i am a little puzzled though, if you where referring to the european rallycross how do you get those ideas you had about the cars?

rallying and track racing (which rallycross is), is just not compareable. you can't say one thing is more difficult than the other. the first one is about going as fast as you can without dying, the second one is about driving a short track perfectly and fighting against opponents.

again, sorry about the aggressiveness. i think it was 50% the language barrier and 50% that most of the guys who "dis" rallycross don't even know what rx really is.

and yes, i definately would like to see some decent rx tracks in lfs too. but more important would be a division 1 car for me.

Quote from MAGGOT :

IMHO, yes, Rally is better than Rallycross. Much more difficult, much better drivers, better technology, better cars, more publicity is a plus (although it's still hard to come by in North America )

I'd love to see a proper tarmac rally in LFS. Tarmac rallies are always my favorites

pfff, citroen is testing it's rally cars in the european rallycross championship BEFORE they use them in rallying (WRC). i don't think there are more sophisticated and faster rally cars out there than the ones they use in rallycross.

pls don't compare that amateur driving you call rallycross in north america with real (professional) rallycross.

petter solberg learned how to drive fast racing rallycross.

Quote from JamesK :

Thats cool, Lotus 7 meets Pagani The Z Cars twin-Hayabusa Westfield was similarly awesome, but much more simple and road legal ... can't find any photos of it now

when i was talking about the lx8, i was actually talking about the lx8 that was presented in some pre-alphas.

it was slicked lx with around 350bhp and much wider tyres

well, yeah. you are right. just adding the lx8 would be best :P.

i don't like the lx4 very much, just because there is a lx6, which is better in every possible way. i mean, come on with s2 the lx6 became so much easier to drive. there is no more need for that car.

i would like to see the lx4 dumped for the lx8, to get the old-insane-s1-lx6 feeling back.

eeek, 2x westhill + KY. not really my type of tracks. i am really looking forward racing the s1 tracks .

anyway, i am sure we will have tons of fun tomorrow .

cu

pls put me on the waiting list!

...or better put me into the grid, if i dont have to wait .

i just like rallycross much more and i am not a hotlapper.

i agree with you gimpster. I actually have binded "sorry" to f5 but when i use it, i wait for the one who was the victim of my mistake to pass me. i will him/her then and try to make a clean pass myself. if there was a little misunderstanding or a situation where i don't know if i have done something wrong, i have a word with the other one _after_ the race.

it's rallycross not rally. @topic: the problem is that the rx tracks simply don't have the quality of the tarmac-only-tracks and that there is no rallycross car at all. because the netcode (or whatever the reason for the mayhem that happens if 2 cars touch each other) isn't as good as it seems to be in s1 it's more difficult to have a clean race now. the terrible bumps on bl2 make this even worse, they are just insane and do often cause havoc. actually real rallycross tracks are pretty flat, there are a few exceptions and there are definately large hills, but rx-cars do not jump around the track like they do in bl2. the jump in fe5 is just insane. fun to drive, but a killer for many rx races. because of that many rx publics tend to be desctruction derbys.

the fact, that the bf1 is the fastest rx car imho pretty much reflects the attitude the devs show towards rx racing.

can't stand the noise lfs makes anymore. loud music is the right medicine for this.

ahh ok, maybe the bf1 is faster, i just compared it with ordinary cars (cars with rx tyres)

to beat the 59 you need hybrids indeed (at least i think so)
