Fair enough.

Some of the repeat offenders I know are people I generally like racing against so I am not very keen on reporting them.

That's why I am more in favour of taking away the temptation than punishing the offenders.

You mean there should be room for disappointment.

Quote from The Moose :

It allows you set a decent qualy lap for the next race. Nothing wrong with that as long as you're not interfering with others.

I agree with that but there are too many racers out there that lack the discipline to do so.

I know there is an excellent reporting feature but I just do not see the necessity of allowing midrace joining. I do not know any real life racing series that allows drivers to leave the pits that have not been at the start of the race or have not reached the pit with their car.

I think reporting every midrace joiner who forces him/herself past would be too much of a burden for the admins.

Good to see the midrace privilege is emphasized but I still do not see the virtues of allowing midrace joins.

Quote from Stefani24 :

Maybe you can block midracejoiners from voting via insim.
(Player sends shift+r, insim recognises, sends another shift+r to cancel the vote)

+1 (although I do not know if this is technically feasible)

Traffic lights did not stop Lewis H.

A good setup is more driver-related than track related. A lap-record setup will not help anyone that does not have the driving style to exploit it.

If you have a good balanced set up that suits your driving, it will work practically anywhere. You would only need some minor tweaks in the downforce and gear ratio department.

That's what I do and I am about everywhere equally slow!

Davidson and Sato? Aguri is dead mate! They had "financial difficulties".

duh

Quote from Tomba(FIN) :

it is lol..

But it does look like a cheap Halfords Add-on.

Quote from Leprekaun :

FXO GT S

Engine: 1.9 turbocharged inline 4 / FWD

Power: 294 BHP

Torque: 370 Nm

Weight: 1111 Kg

Power-Weight Ratio: (261 BHP/ton)

What's wrong with a boxer engine?

Quote from Christofire :

Your point appears to be that the "average" driver can drive the FXO to say 85% of it's potential with little practise, the XRT to 80% and the RB4 to 75% (these are just example values, not real %). If that is the case, and the cars are actually balanced then there's nothing for us to do. It's the drivers that need to get better with the cars, and perhaps there should be different points rewards for that, but not restrictions.

I can't agree more with this. I would rate myself as a fairly mediocre racer who scores his points due to consistency and cleanlyness rather than raw pace. and I just pick the car that suits my driving style (or my way of setting up a car). My current favorites for race 2 and 3 are respectively the RB4 and XRR. None of these are considered as the quickest ones but I am not faster in any other at the moment so I might aswell enjoy the ride.

I prefer my rice in a cleveland steamer.

Great job. I'll give it a good going when I'm sober again.

As far as I can judge LFS allready provides a platform for ricer-handling.

• lower the suspension
  
• make it a lot stiffer without changing the dampers
  
• add extra weight to simulate the amplifiers, subwoofers and extra carbon-look-crap
  
• add intake restriction to simulate garbage can exhaust (and turn up the sound)
  
• set the front anti-roll bar to the max and do not touch the rear one(that one is hardly visible IRL anyway)
  

No offence taken or intended Johnny, just did not agree

A longer track does not necessarilly make a faster track and you will not take the complete speed advantage of your mile an hour over the entire straight due to air resistance. Not to mention slipsstreaming opportunities on longer straights.

I do not see why cars would spread out more on long tracks (provided that the race length is the same). The only trafic that would be reduced is car's being lapped and I think those can be missed.

Sorry, I am just a sucker for Aston Historic

that username 'cmanns' is shared.

Nice one!

Quote from samjh :

Montagny and Sarrazin are both Le Mans veterans too. Peugeot had the right driver line-up. Their car let them down - fast over a single lap, but can't last the distance.

Sarrazin and Montangny were solid indeed but I did expect more from Villeneuve. Especially in terms of pace.

I think the car did pretty well for a Peugeot. They usually do not come as reliable as this.

Quote from BlueFlame :

when you are stuck with inexperienced drivers like Kristian Klien and F1 TestDrivers like Alex Wurz, you know it's gonna be tough,

I would not call Alex Wurz inexperienced. He won at le mans with Joest Porsche in 1996 and raced the mercedes GTR car in 1997.

However, I agree some of the drivers in the line up are not of the endurance racing breed.

I have never in my years in LFS have seen any skilfull or respectworthy driver seen using the word NOOB. So do not take offence of anyone using it.

Some of you really need a girlfriend

I think the next patch for the mclaren's simulator will include traffic lights.

Just picked up GT Legends a week ago. I realy like it but do not consider it as an LFS replacement. I am not tempted to try it online but it's great offline fun.
