Wrong again...
I paid £90 for my subscription. I paid £210 for content. I am not ALLOWED to play my content without keeping my subscription going. World of Warcraft does not rip you off in the same way, not at all. You don't pay £210 for weapons in WOW so you can enjoy the game. You pay your subs, that is it... iRacing is taking you for suckers....

Wrong, wrong wrong...
I bought a year because it was so much cheaper than paying per month. Like 50%. I stopped playing after 4 months because I had no way of racing my teammates and friends. It was BORING!... VERY
Now, they have finally listened and are trying to make it easier for a community/team to work, but it still is a cold, money making sim... IMHO
If you think my honest opinion is trolling, then maybe you should take a good look at yourself. I have tried my upmost to try to make iracing and a team/community work, but it simply doesn't atm. This is what makes LFS special IMO. The fact that we can access live data (for free), build websites around it, join friends etc, makes LFS a community SIM. iRacing is simply not that.
To say to LFS'ers, who dare to make statements of opinion on iRacing, in an LFS forum, as trollers, is bullshit Glenn, and you know it..
If you really think that the opinion of someone who plays LFS every day, runs a very active team, organises meets for the community as a troll, then piss off to iracing and don't come back.
The fact that Scawen/Victor lets you talk about iRacing should tell you something. The fact that you are posting in the LFS forum should tell you something. The fact that when you simply don't have the time to commit to iracing 24/7, you WILL feel as ripped off as I did, should tell you something.
^^^ excuse my rant, but I am no freaking troll :P

And Boothy, wtf... 5th place
The Live for Speed Hotlap League 2010 has now finished! The league has seen an incredible 592 people take part, with some great battles and amazing times set, almost always beating World Record times.
Congratulations go to Andrew Carey for taking the win, with a fantastic £108.57 in total prizes. 2nd place was Nick Catsburg (£20.88) and in 3rd, by just 1 point, was Magnus Bjorndal (£77.38). 4th place was taken by the unlucky CQ|Guru (£47.48) and 5th place by CQ|Dzban (£31.08). The rest of the cash prizes can be seen on the table on the left.
There were also server prizes for the most improved driver (Sparkee) and two lucky dips (K.MacDonald & ﾏﾑﾏ Matty).
Many thanks to 500 Servers for so generously donating so many server packages, and to all the racers taking part. I hope you all enjoyed it and we hope to run it again next year!
PM me your address, I will add the £1 on to next years bill
Ahh shucks thanks

Great vid, seems like it was more than just the 2 aggressive drivers, but always kart 1 receiving it
I have arox`s charger. Ask him to mail me his address.

Kart race timing using bluetooth
Hello programmers!
I have a request, or more like an idea and wondered if anyone in the LFS community could help.
I am currently running the LFS UK Kart Meet and there is no timing at the track. For next year, it would be great if we could have a free system to count the amount of laps each kart does, and even better if we could track the lap times (to the nearest second or two).
I thought of using bluetooth. We have bluetooth in all our phones, and also bluetooth in our laptops. I read this article - which in theory suggests it would work.
My idea is this - Before the race, we would scan each drivers mobile phone and get their bluetooth id. Then, when each driver went out on track, we would have a laptop setup as the master with an application to track when each bluetooth device came within range. As they come into range (bluetooth is about 10m), the laptop would record the time. As the kart then went out of range and came back into range, the timing would be complete for that kart for 1 lap.
Apparently the phones don't need to be in discoverable mode to do this, which would mean no problems with battery life (each driver would do 1.5 hours max). The laptop would have a problem with doing the full days racing, but we could always have the app running on a second or third laptop to take over when battery issues became an issue.
Can anyone see anything wrong with this idea, and more importantly, could anyone help with the app?
Looked at this briefly, but not sure if it does what we need?
And these apps

Not that I am aware of.
I remember in the enduro race, I had 3 cars ahead by a little distance under yellows. I watched the track ahead, saw the yellows go, and passed all 3.
A totally legitimate move, but the look on their races was priceless
Also @ TVE - no price whatsover for repairs to my house as I do all the work myself, and tbh, a little filling and painting is to be expected. If it makes you feel better, you can buy me a pint next time :P
BUT.... If you guys had ripped my pool table, that would be a different story

Seriously tempted to buy a helmet for next year and pimp it up
Great, looking forward to it, last years was great
Well I didn't divebomb as such, it was more like punted him to the outside.
