I know that there are limits to the numbers of cars that can race on each track and not all of them are 32.

I saw a thread before about this but have seached and searched and cannot find it anywhere.

How do I find out what the maximum number of cars for each track are?

Only 20 entrants so far for race 6 if anyone is interested.

If you are looking for new blood, you could also introduce yourself. What is GFC?? Why would I join?

Have a look at the site and all will become clear.

Quote from maczo :

-1 for removal
+1 for considering re-design

One of the chicanes I really do not like is the one after T1 on FE Club/Gold/Black. It's just a place for the race leader to tip the tires onto the racing line and gain more and more advantage each lap (or just make the car behind flip on its roof, if the poor guy is unlucky).

I find the chicanes cool if you want to hotlap (UFR at FE Green, that was a blast!), but not for [close] racing.

All that needs to be done at the FE chicane is for the barrels to be tied together just like they would be in real life. I've suggested it before. Same goes for a couple of the other chicanes.

Quote from Cargo :

Before I make an Improvement Suggestion I thought I'd drag by the General mob.

Chicanes -- what are they good for?

Most real life tracks install or build-in chicanes in order to slow the cars down for safety.
We are virtual, there is zero safety to worry about. We should be going hella fast (and usually are).

There are several chicanes that are simple "cut here" markers. And servers have taken as many steps as possible to put in bumpers to stave people off from them. Is this is so, Remove the Chicane.

In general, if any Track is being reviewed for udpates from the devs, they should first look at any chicanes on that track and do all possible to remove them.

This is Live For Speed after all.

(just a thought, not a whine)

LMAO - That's ridiculous. Chicanes are about weight transfer from one side to the other in quick succession and often while on the brakes or power. They can be very challenging. They are also a total buzz as you are often 'threading the eye of a needle' and pin point accuracy is required.

'Ate a clock Sundee? Can I drive the FO8?

You can drive either car mate - be good to have you aboard.

Quote from MRSisson :

But! But...! but August 26th is American LeMans at Mosport! Everybody should be driving-flying-swimming-biking-crawling to Canada and watching that.



20 GMT works out to 4pm Sunday EST here in Canada. That is actually perfect for me. I have been in one league (GPL), but the times in most leagues never seem to jibe with my work schedule. Ima gonna think on this for awhile

Wish there was coverage of American Le Mans here in the UK. I'm a Le Mans freak and went 5 years in a row until things conspired to stop me.

Hope you can join up mate. This league isn't so much about speed as it is about awareness and consistency so not too much practice is required before races. All the skills are learned during the actual races.

The GFC is currently looking for new drivers for this event. Sign up at http://gentlefoot.com/LFS/forum.

We have quite a few US racers in the GFC. See http://gentlefoot.com for details and sign up in the forum http://gentlefoot.com/LFS/forum

The GFC caters for a wide range of skills. Speed is not important in the GFC - awareness and clean racing is.

Quote from ajp71 :

Defiantly hope to be there, probably can't put my entry in until I can confirm

We'd all be glad to see you back mate.

At the last round of the GFC we were down to only 20 runners on the grid - although everyone seemed to enjoy the race. So we are looking for new guys and the next round should be very exciting - South City Long Reverse.

If you were planning to wait until season 2 to enter I strongly recommend you get some experience now. This format is very different from single formula racing.

Hope to see some new signees.

Here are my G25 settings.

No difference in whether you use auto clutch or manual or blip or whatever. Personally I use sequential paddles but then I drive the FOX most of the time or the FO8. In these cars you cannot down change quick enough with manual clutch and H shift because of the characteristics of these cars. This means I lose a lot of time in braking areas when using manual config.

In road cars the penalty is not so great as you don't knock off speed so fast in the braking areas. However, I am still faster with sequential paddles and auto clutch than without.

In some motorsport here in the UK if you have a sequential box it is considered a huge advantage and you are moved up a class - a bit like having a turbo.

I actually thought this thread would die once it got moved to Off Topic, but it seems to have landed on its feet. It must have nine lives or something.

I'm sure it will keep clawing its way back to the top

Quote from Linsen :

You wouldn't happen to own "Kitty Litterature", the "purr-fect gift for any cat lover", Gentlefoot .

No - but I saw it in the cat-alogue

Quote from Aquilifer :

Your cat has a license!?
(please note that demo cats cannot be reported to barricade)

well - no system is purr-fect.

Ofcourse with the kitten's weight advantage it could just cat-apult past the whole field

I know - it was a very 'paw' show

Not to mention the fact that the kitten is not likely to get any fur-ther than T1. Unless he's right at the tail end

I don't want to be racing kittens into turn 1. It's likely to cause a cat-astrophe

I keep mine safe at home by parking it in the garage and then parking my Golf right in front of the garage door too. They will have to break into the Golf first before they can even get at the garage door.

And it's only an old gsx600r so I can't imagine anyone would bother. Ofcourse when your parking it out and about then best bet is to put it somewhere in full view of passers by with as many antitheft devices as possible. Make your bike harder to steal then the one next to you and you should be OK

Alternatively ride around on an old nail that nobody wants.

Quote from aco :

where i can find more setup for download instead infreno set

I've got good sets for a couple of combos on my site. http://gentlefoot.com

I will add a whole load more soon but they will be specially chosen sets for their driveability and speed.

but I don't know of any sites other than inferno with such a large selection of sets.

Quote from Lotesdelere :

Button is the British Alési

Good drivers but bad career. Wrong teams at the bad moments, wrong choices, bad luck.

I'd compare Button to Alboretto. Think Alesi had something that Button doesn't have.

Quote from Pixiez :

My personal best is still 1.05.xx

I can't kill that 5 seconds. Now I have been searching again for some setup that is not so instable in curves since I need good steering in the "Club" (map)

More stable = slower but easier to be consistent
less stable = faster but less consistent

This is the general rule within reasonable limits. Ofcourse if you have much too much oversteer you will be slower. But the WR and other fast sets tend to be well balanced with an emphasis on oversteer.

Lats time I raced this track I decided to take 1 click of rear wing off and I instantly broke my PB. Sure it was a bit oversteery but was faster nevertheless.

Quote from DaveWS :

Why don't Honda chuck the current car in the bin, and work on developing last years car instead?

We know that the Super Aguri is quicker...

Don't chuck it in the bin!! I'll take it for sprints and hillclimbs lol
