There should be a 'both' option. These days I mainly drive single seater so it's irrelevant but in the old days when I drove in ESL I used to switch sides depending on the track. Clockwise tracks I would sit on the right and anti-clockwise the left.

Quote from three_jump :

It may be just my bad eys but I think the orange colored links on a gray background are really hard to read.

Yeah - just haven't come up with the colours I need for the <a tag. It's set in the stylesheet so can be changed quickly. Can't use red, white or black as there is already text on the site in those colours. Might try a blue colour and leave the yellow as the hover over colour.

Quote from CELTIC100 :

Nice one GF looks 10x better not that the old one was bad either

I did notice one error - link on videos - Audimasters link gives you Onions Vid ?

Keep up the good work, gutted I cannot find the time to compete - Hopfully in the future I may return as the Tintops looks promising.

Cheers mate - will fix that link. Hope to see you back sometime soon mate.

Quote from xaotik :

Well - one simple technique to make it work on all resolutions is:

Change the slidername.jpg to be only the "gentlefoot.com" logo and glue the screenshot with the wing in sliderlogo.jpg. Then change this (naturally changing the width of the second cell to the width of sliderlogo.jpg):


<!--top strip-->
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="62%" height="53" background="slidername.jpg"> </td>
<td width="38%"background="sliderlogo.jpg"> </td>
</tr>
</table>


To this:


<!--top strip-->
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td height="53" bgcolor="#B6B6B4">slidername.jpg</td>
<td width="[B]width of sliderlogo.jpg in pixels[/B]" background="sliderlogo.jpg"> </td>
</tr>
</table>


A CSS layout would be more flexible - but it's okay since you got this one going fine otherwise.

nice one mate - will try that tonight.

The site has been updated with latest news and stats and standings following tonights race.

Quote from ajp71 :

Looking good

I've found a few things that could be improved though:

1) The looping header.
2) The link from the track guides to the setups page doesn't work.
3) The orange links are really hard to read on the grey background.

Yeah the trackguides pages are still the old ones so I need to create them for the new format.

And yeah - the links colour is set in the stylesheet so I can change that easy if I decide to.

Quote from xaotik :

Looking good - only thing I noticed was that the header will get messed up a bit if the window is wider than 1024 pixels since the background pictures keep on looping horizontally.

Yeah - its hard to do something that works on all screen res

But some people still use 800x600 so this was a compromise

Hey all,

It's been a long time coming but I found the time to update my website.

It will be updated regularly now as the content is far easier to change.

http://gentlefoot.com

Any feedback would be appreciated. Not all the content is there yet but will be added in the next few days.

GF

I've created a nice news page so I can update it really quickly after races. Go to http://gentlefoot.com/ to read the latest news

The gentlefoot.com website has a new number 1 referrer and it's from China!

It crept into the top 5 the previous month but this month it seems to have jumped hugely.

Unfortunately I can't read any of it lol

Quote from Skil :

Gentlefoot: GFC is all about single-seater cars, at least that's what I've found on your site or maybe I'm wrong and you have place for other cars as well?

I ask because I prefer road cars that F1

Yeah - this is the first GFC season and the F stands for Formula. It's FOX's and FO8s.

I have discussed starting a GTTC competition which will be the same thing for Tin Tops but there hasn't been huge interest compared with when I started the GFC so it may not happen.

Give the FOX a try. You might find after getting used to it you like it. To me it feels the most realistic of all the LFS cars (once you have a good setup) but I'm sure lots of people would disagree.

I agree - the races are too short.

I'm still loving it after 2 years. The GFC season is really hotting up now.

I've never got too excited about new patches apart from X and the one when they gave the RWDs more grip by sorting some tyre issues.

Quote from spanks :

Just because they aren't walls doesn't mean they can't hurt, very badly

Too right! Go into a deep gravel trap sideways and say hello to opposite gravity land lol

Not to mention that stuff gets everywhere.

You might find these images useful mate:

These photos come from Allan Staniforth's Race and Rally Car Source Book. A fantastic read and a must for any self respecting petrol head.

I read once that the lower roll centre should be at the lighter end of the vehicle.

At the end of the day there are lots of ways of achieving a particular handling balance and in my view there are no simple rules and no subsititute for hours and hours of on-track testing. Still it's all good fun you lucky bugger

Quote from jscharpf :

Is there a league that I can join that accepts new players? I don't mind if I'm the lapped car on every race. I just want to gain experience. I can only commit to weekends because my work week is too unpredictable.

Is there a way to join up with an experienced driver and have that person take me through some simple laps and/or simple concepts, just to make sure I'm not starting off with bad habits?

Any advice, links, etc.. is appreciated.

Jeff

You'd be welcome to join the GFC. All standards catered for. At the start of the season many of the guys were rookies but all have pretty good skills now.

http://gentlefoot.com/LFS/forum

We are all very open in the community and share sets and practice together. Come along to the GFC server some time. Should be a few of us about this week as there is a race in Sunday.

Event times will suit you too I expect.

Quote from TonyP23 :

Can any of you look at my laps and give me a clue how to get faster as i feel stuck in a rut.
My best lap at aston club in the Fox is 1:02 something but usually i get 1:03:50 ish or worse.
The car feels very slow after playing Rfactor in the RF1.
It's very frustrating.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Cheers

You may also find these trackguides useful even if you aren't running those tracks and cars:

Quote from I am a FOX racer at heart and there is only the GFC going. I should really enter into that. The dual classes is good, but doesnt tickle my fancy.

I want just FOX vs FOX racing [:D :

You should try it mate. Reckon you might be surprised.

One of the GFC regulars ((Onion)) has made this great highlights video of round 1-6.

Quote from DeKo :

can we compete in both?

But ofcourse You think I'd put all the effort of running a league if I didn't plan to race in it? hehe. OK I might not put too much effort into it. I'm hoping to be defending my crown in the GFC
