2 available you say I will be in brum tomorrow might go pick the other one up.

Some people have had problems with the pedals but seems easy enough to fix by cleaning the pots etc and there is guides about on how to do it.

Quote from Fabri91 :

Even the XRG has 140hp from 1.8 Litre. Now that might not sound that much, but only for today's standards.
The only production, non-track specific car that has a similar ratio is the Vauxhall/Opel/Saturn/Whatsoever Astra 1.8.

140 bhp out of 1.8 doesn't sound too bad. I mean out of a NA 1.8 you can get 190 bhp on a 'sports model' on a normal road car.

Quote from niall09 :

Great stuff! This should be stickified

Stickified? Guh - are you four

Agreed, should be a sticky some good advice in there.

Edit: Dan you got you weather wrong, should be whether

New content is always good so +1 but, its a big but so, BUT as already said there is improvements and changes to me made to other areas such as physics and AI not just the content of LFS. Yes more tracks would be good, either in a couple new combos or a whole new track. Whether we get any who knows, you would have to ask the devs directly.
The problem, which I feel gets overlooked, is that we have such a wide variety of cars from UF1 to BF1 for speed and LX to GTR's in weight. All of which have different characteristics and all of which suit different tracks. You wouldn't take a UF1 on a grand prix curcuit as would be too long, while you wouldn't take a formula 1 car on a little club track like fe club. To me I feel we have a range of tracks for each car so for bf1 we have aston gp, aston gt, ky gp and ky nat and you could include aston national, while for uf1 we have small south city and small fern bay etc etc.

But still more content +1 but personally i would rather have better physics and AI before tracks.

Jakg's quoted post of himself really sum's it up to be honest. One thing I would add though it everyone is different so one person might get on with a team one might not. Taking MG as the example as jakg did, I got on really well with james, kimi and kasper and resonably well with others which meant I enjoyed MG while jakg didn't. I know run DR with james and kasper doesn't play lfs anymore but I still catch up with him on msn when he is around. People you know from lfs (or anyother online game) I would say you can become friends with them, never to the point of people you go to the pub with for example.

Congratulations on joining SR

Just checked my yime for bl1 xfg and its 1:35.19 and that is with a wheel but then again I havn't driven alot of laps of that combo. There is insanely fast people, especially in the big leagues, who can lap near WR pace lap after lap after lap and all you can is watch them drive into the distance. Then again there is people who are slow too, really there is a wide range of abilities on servers.

You won't be quick on S2 combo's as you have never driven them but with time you pick them up and drive better and faster.

I am right confused by this as CET seems to be GMT+1 but just looked it up and converted GMT to CET and it says CET is GMT+2 but I think that is summer time being factored in.

Hmm so just checking - CET = GMT/UTC+1, so racing for GMT/UTC is 19:00. Good time, not too early and yet not too late

Quote from Jakg :

...there WAS no entrance fee...

Maybe he's talking about licence was too high for the server

Quote from mrodgers :

When STCC had the LFR+LX4 server, I had always seen others chose the LX4 over the LFRs independent of their license. I wish the CTRA would bring that car class combo back.

I loved that server, proper driving (g25 stylee) and proper cars but my licence limited me to lx4 . Still though good racing and good times.
I will admit i didn't used to race the lx cars until one of season 1 bott round was lrf so i got into racing lx6, practiced enough to keep the car on the road but not particularly quick. The point is though even to drive them slowly compared to WR times the cars are fun

I think it would work best with the 3d glasses although I don't have any works quite well crossed eyed but hard to keep it in focus for me.

I would say though don't give up your first go, and use the steering wheel to 'line up' the croassed eye image.

The one piece of advice that I would say is missing is that it is not only the team wanting you to represent them but should also be about you being in the team. What I mean by this is that it is good to join a team that you will get on well with as to me there isn't any point in joining a team if you like no one in it. So race around, talk to people in teams, find out when and which servers team race on and race them. If they have team speak join them on it etc. Get to know the team before you apply to join it.
I would add that it good to join team that aren't likely to split up. I first joined MG when it was starting and it was good and was where I got to know james (who posted above). I also go to know other people, some who don't play lfs who i still talk to on msn . I left though but when MG ended me and James set up DR, as we know each other from MG days we know DR wont be closing anytime soon

Good luck in your future LFS career and hope to see you on track.

It isn't hard to find USA on a map anyway, It says "U.S.A" right in the middle of the country

I know I said I was the puppet master but that's taking it too far.

Nice joined season 1 late but was good fun even though there wasn't that many drivers. Also with ctra I am really enjoying gt2 cars.

You got rid of the fox though was interesting to race the fox against the big gtr's

S1 when it came out was different to what S2 licence drive obviously but with S1 licence you still get to use the same game, you simply won't have access to all the cars.

So as Jakg says, If you want online racing S2 is the way to go.

Heres mine, pretty close, might get PS out to make it better though.

Edit: beards FTW!

Quote from Jakg :

Your team of good drivers is almost complete, now all you need is me!

True, every team needs at least one bad driver to make the rest look better

Congratulations on joining the team, have just finished watching the stcc broadcast too

FXO is a boat.
RB4 is a whale.
XRT is just tail happy.

So we need a 4th car in tbo's - A tail happy whaling boat .

I think it comes down to persona' choice, XRT for me is more fun to race but rb4 is quicker and fxo is just horrible.

I got your PM forgot to say Thanks for the images, as I said I am busy until monday but I will make it for you then

Without actually looking at it Niko, I guess that is the BMW Sauber skin that comes with LFS not a BMW williams skin.

Quote from niall09 :

Why not the Bank of Ireland? My dad is a manager of a BOI branch

What would they give us though, free money

mmmmm guiness. Maybe we should get them to sponsor us, maybe we could get free guiness - now that would be good lol.
