In simple terms it's just a 5h1* load of fun!

Quote from Peteuplink :

Hi.. I;m not actually a newbie.. but, I've not played for over 12 months or so and my driving seems to have suffered as a result. So I was wondering if there are any decent servers anround for new players... I remember there were a few last time I was here, but now I can't find any.

We always welcome newbys on the GFC server.

Quote from gohfeld23 :

When I submited my entry, my e-mail client popped up trying to send it so I'm not sure if thats a glitch or the way you set it up.
Either way, you have an e-mail from me

Yeah - don't worry - it's just a simple HTML form with a mailto so that is normal.

Quote from anttt69 :

Sounds interesting I will probably be signing up to one of your well organised championships very soon . One thing I would say, the race length put me off entering last time. 45-60mins would be better for me, but I am only one person & I dont know the general consensus on this.

GFC races are 75 mins

GTTC races are around 30 mins

The Double Vision Rallyx race is about 30 mins and the LX event is 45 mins

One of these should suit

Quote from Intrepid :

yes, what is wrong with that? Kids cost money? If you want to race you need money.... having kids means you have LESS money, and LESS time! He wanted an answer, I gave it to him! Having kids isn't a necessary thing, no one forced him to nail a women. He took that decision! If you don't like the truth.... TOUGH!

You don't need to be a financial expert to solve that simple equation!

Maybe conception was immaculate

If you miss this event tomorrow then I am running an event on 16th December. The event is called Double Vision.

See this page for details:

Quote from Goop :

Does the inside 'dive-bombing' car need to maintain its line to be a legitimate pass, or can it run wide? Please clarify

Yes, if you make a pass down the inside and you are level before the apex then you still need to stay tight to the apex. If you drift wide and collect the car on your outside then I would say you would be largely to blame for the resulting off if there is one.

This ruling was made recently in the GFC. It highlights this point perfectly:

See the section titled "Lap82 Celtic100, The End"

Quote from Intrepid :

Right all I have to do now is figure out all this server/league mumbo jumbo lololololollololololol

And you'll need to find at least about 100 genuine real life racers. Good luck.

Quote from Mr_Rotary :

Oh woops, I meant to say i've been using all your FOX sets on all the different tracks.

I particularly like the feel of the Aston Historic setup!

It's one of my favourites too

Quote from Intrepid :

Yes I have tried GFC.

When?

The GFC trys to develop one philosophy between drivers by way of the rules and judicial system but all drivers are different.

I like to think that in the Gentlefoot Challenge events we drive fairly but aggressively and if anyone oversteps the mark they lose points. Seems to work well.

It's a small % but one that I did try to tap into with very little success. Apart from these referals lol

Intrepid - I really think you should try the GFC.

I would love to race with fellow MSA licence holders!

Although it does seem very limiting if you say its just real life racers. I have an MSA licence and I also know that there are only 32,000 of us in the UK.

I'd like to race you in a FOX sometime though Intrepid Did you check out the GFC?

Quote from Rooble :

Good read and solid advice.

Just get a base set and fiddle around with it (one change at a time) to see how the car reacts to it and learn how setups work

Great advice,. Make sure you keep the original set so you can go back and compare again once you've made a string of 8 changes.

Also make sure you know the track properly before making changes to the set. If you're still finding seconds a lap, a set aint gonna make any difference.

Here are some good starting points:

Quote from nigelpm :

Any time I've driven a car quick on public roads it feels soo much better than LFS. I'm sorry but whilst LFS is the best we have at the moment it's still worlds away from reality.

Thing is driving on public roads is so different from driving on a track anyway. You check your tyre pressures, take your road car (or even modified road/track car) around a few country roads, maybe a fast stretch somewhere and it feels awesome - grippy, responsive, dare I say 'flickable'. Take it to Brands, Cadwell, Oulton or Donnington Park and the first thing you say after your first stint is "Where did all the grip go?".

Ofcourse I'm exploring the handling of my car on public roads but only in situations where I can see well ahead (golden rule - "always stop in the distance you can see") and where the risk is reduced because the population is sparce. Biggest risk round my way is meeting some bird coming the other way on a horse. Sometimes with a cart attached!

Great, Thanks Sorry for being so annoying

I'm used to it lol

I've set up an entry list in the forum:

http://gentlefoot.com/LFS/forum/viewtopic.php?t=293

Will do a web page for all entries to all events soon. Maybe tomorrow

Quote from STROBE :

Well both, but more of the good than the bad. Only negative point I hinted at was the lack of different car types covered by your setups with it mainly being FOX, but that's understandable given the single seaters raced in your league, and the fact that the setup collection has just been started.

It's because I've been specialising in FOX lately and these are the only ones I'm 100% sure about. I'll be competing in the LX4 soon and also one of the TBOs - probably the XRT. We'll see how I go. If I can't get close to WR pace then it will remain just FOX sets lol.

Quote from Mr_Rotary :

Hey mate,
I've been using your FOX setup on a majority of tracks and found it to be the best so far. I have changed it very very slightly but its great.

Which set? It's amazing that it's good on lots of tracks because they are very track focused. Sometimes a set good on one track can feel terrible on another. Anyway - thanks for the thumbs up

Quote from [RF]-art555 :

Hi,GF. I've registered on the forum, and I've send PMs to you and Admin, but my account doesn't seem to be activated cause I haven't recieved any mail about it. All I want to ask if I will get any confirmation about my entry being recieved?

Thanks

Yep, your account is setup and activated. I did recieve your email and I have added you to the list of entrants. See:

http://www.gentlefoot.com/LFS/forum/viewtopic.php?t=293

Welcome to gentlefoot.com

Quote from Mazz4200 :

Yeah, i'm up for that. If the race is in December then it'll give me a bit of time to get some much needed practice in too.

hehe - yeah - I need that too. I look forward to recieving your entry

Quote from Mazz4200 :

Ahhhh interesting. Do you have a qualifying standard for this ? or is it just come as you are ?. (I'm slow but clean)

First come first served for the Double Vision events. A lot of entrants will be slow I expect as many of them are single seater specialists.

Quote from Mazz4200 :

I'd be up for some LXing, if you don't mind me trolling around at the back of the field every race, I know you GF guys are darn quick, but if you need to fill up spaces i'd tag along. + If its only me and Gohfeld it'd be no contest.

I'd register my interest, but i can't for the life of me remember my username/password or even which email address i gave when signing into your site ??

Check out the Double Vision event on 16th December. LX race around Fern Bay Black (R). Two drivers per team one in each car - LX4 and LX6. There will be RallyX too but it's optional. You can race alone if you wish too.
