@Matrixi - Haha, wow, I shoulda known that someone would actually take the time to do that.
I just watched this with my girlfriend looking over my shoulder. She has played a bit before, and I'm getting her into it, but she's quick to learn what cars can do what. Her first words were: "Wait... the FOX doesn't do 300 km/h... is that guy f**kin' cheating?" I laughed that even SHE could see that so soon.
Couldn't agree more. This is quite possibly the most fun I've had playing LFS in a while, and it has really opened my eyes to a whole new aspect of tuning my GTi setup. (That and it was fun meeting up with old buddies like Android over there). I think that I'll be running the HELL out of this until it's taken down.
i know it's all cosmetic as of yet, but I like Cromo for Grip Racing, Torro for Rallye, and Evostar for drift... I don't know, something about it just feels right. 
These sounded so awesome. Especially the FXR.
The cars being left or right hand drive doesn't bother me at all. I grew up in Germany, and recently moved to the US. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Those countries are both LHD". This brings me to the next part. While visiting my aunt in Japan (yes, she's Japanese), I got to drive her Silvia. Very fun, and not hard to get used to. The pedals are all in the same locations, but all you have to remember is to shift twords you in a RHD (duh for those who already drive RHD), and away from you in an LHD (Again, duh for those who already drive LHD). But, I don't agree with the cars being perfectly balanced with the driver in it whether left or right drive. GTR cars MAYBE, but definately not road cars. Go out to your driveway. Look at the car. If nothing's wrong with it, it should be sitting mostly level from side to side. Get a friend or loved one around your weight to sit in the driver seat. You'll notice the car's suspension sort of squash down on that side. Weight not balanced anymore. What I'm getting at, is that it would be less realistic if the car was balanced no matter which side you were sitting on. And since this is a sim, going the opposite direction of realism, to me, is a no-no. Love it or hate it, there it is...
Why pit on the last lap when you can pit on the first? You'd just catch up to, if not pass, all of the guys that pit on last lap anyways.
Seriously though, there's not really any point to doing it that way, those who pit in the middle though, those are the guys that can win the race, as they'll have brand new tires and no more damage, where as the people who try to take advantage have worn tires, or beat up cars. Just trying to use logic here I guess, but I don't know if my English is good enough to convey this correctly.

I could just pull the dash out of my Honda, and fit it around my Logi-Momo wheel, and there we go, i've got the same thing for $0
Agreed. Oh, and to the yelling kid (I'm guessing a young kid by the way he's been acting): What makes you think you're so much better than them? They didn't come in yelling that others were noobs, and obscenely screaming that their event should be stopped. While I don't agree with the way that he obtained his rules, it's also not my decision, and planning an event is a bit harder than it seems. Listen, kid, I'm sorry to be singling you out here, but honestly, grow up man.
Good luck with your mom, and the event I suppose. And good luck to intelligent conversation.

Ouch, I played rFactor yesterday, and I've already got my money back. Sorry to say it, but it was a waste of an hour.
Hopefully this banner will include better english?
Why not just use the standard "Hard Track" setup for the cars if you want a fixed setup league? That would be the easiest way to do it. No worrying about distributing your setup. You can still change the fuel loadout, and when it changes your tires, and the like, but the car setups would be uniform otherwise. I think this would be a lot of fun to participate in, but which cars are going to be running? The XF GTi and...?
I've driven oly a couple of races on this cours, and between dodging wrecked vehicles, lap traffic, and wankers that seemed to want to drive the wrong way, I managed a shoddy 45.45. I'll probably practice this track a bit more, as it was a fun race (besieds the BS). But, Bob's right, it's not so much a setup thing, it's more of a practice thing.
I drive a 1994 Honda Civic with an Si VTEC motor implanted into it from a 2002 Civic Si (this is my normal driving car... the subie is for weekends ^_^). Allthough, I do have new headers, exhaust, suspension, and new tyres (and wider rims to put the tyres on as well). I don't really notice any different sound, except for the engine getting whinnier (can't spell) the higher my RPMs go. I never understood what was so special about the vtec "sound", as I don't ever notice it.
Before you call out ricer, know that I don't have 20 inch spinners, huge "zaust tip", and 30 foot tall wing. I'm keeping the body stock, and the only visual thing added to it is the 16x7 in rims (white car, black rims, looks kinda nice), and the ergenomic shift nob topping off my short shift kit. Just giving it a little more power to make it more barable to drive around.

Why in the grass and off the track so much? To much standing still, and by the looks of these screens, shoddy drifting as well.
Same. I usually drink, or grab some chips or whatever else I'm snacking on. Maybe glance at my TV? If my TV is off, and I have nothing to drink or eat, I guess I just sit there and drive down the straight.
My room's too big for me to reach over and mess with anything... Unless I want to superman-dive from my chair to my bed, which is hard, since it's 3 meters away.Sorry, but the Supras that I've seen (and they've been many) have all been 6 cylinders, and I've seen one V8 (besides in JGTC).
Yes, screenies first please.

I... I, uhh, need new pants. I definately think the 3 days' wait won't be bad, but damn, a lot of anticipation from a usually patient individual.
(sorry, english class in America has tought me so many new words that I want to use)

Well, having driven a ZO6, I'd have to say that it isn't as bad as some think with the cornering... but at the same time, it also isn't as good as GM said it was. Try to outhandle a 911 Turbo S with that thing. I did, and it didn't work. Went wide on the turn at the end and half into the grass just trying to keep up with it in the turn. Oh, and both cars were completely factory. I do enjoy the feel of a good German/Japanese/British/Italian sports car. Now, before I'm called part of the problem about the bashing of American cars, I'd like to say that I do recognize that they have a lot of power and straight-line know-how. Later this fall, I'll have a Silvia shipped over and I'll be able to indulge in one of my favorite sports. *Gets ready for insta-hating*
Drift. Before people start hating, think of how many of you like Rally racing, then tell me that they don't drift at all, and that drifting never helped anyone. (I guess that was a little too pre-defensive ) Anyways, back on track.
American cars: Straightline
Euro/Japanese cars: Handling with power :revs: :rally_dri

As a speaker of another language, I'm proud to say that I speak Englisch better than 90% of the people I hear speaking it now that I moved to the US. It's kidna sad really 
Until a while back, before I moved from Germany to America, I never had a problem finding serverws with god combos to play on, because there was always a lot going on. But now that I live in America, i can never find anything good going on. I never really understood before how Americans would claim that nothing good was ever going on, until recently. Maybe I should just become more nocturnal than I already am to keep the good races comming? Well, I'll figure that one out later, but the Americans are right, In North/South America, there are less servers running with people in them than there are servers in Europe/Asia/Mid-East and whatnot.
But! I'm not saying this can't be helped. This has a simple solution. Americans just need to get their own servers that would house more races for them. I'm aware of a few that are already running, but are sparcely populated. I'm sure if people would get in there, it'd be pretty fun.

This is my reasoning exactly. Also, it does provide fun for those who have little to no internet connectivity, and for those who are still learning to ropes to get the feel of racing with others on the track without running real people off the road.
Huh? What's this about slow 4-bangers?
*Looks down at sig*
Not mine...
Well, just to be fair, I drive a 1994 Civic V-Tec as well as the subaru(subie = my fun car, civic = my get to work car). I've opened up the civic, and I'll tell you, vtec or not, that thing is SO slow. i do like the handleing though, but none-the-less, I still think it's a slow car and nothing special. I've blown too many of them away on road coarses in the subie.
