I have allways enjoyed LFS as a finished product because it is at least as good as any other.

Just consider an update as a gift and enjoy racing.

Sure I would welcome another track or an LMP-like car but it is not a disaster the game has not been updated for a while. Sometimes a bit of continuity is good.

But having "merry Christmass" as latest LFS-news is just bad PR.

I think there is a difference between using tires that are not intended to be used without pre-warming and tires that will be designed for use without.

I think next years tires will be safer when cold than the ones used today. I can not imagine Bridgestone not adapting to this.

Every part of a racing car is made to suit regulations and circumstances.

I thought it was me being slow when I had yellow flags on that track.

I have to admit I have been avoiding that track for that reason. Not that I have a stats fettish but I do not like to be penalised for having a mediocre lap.

true

Now it's getting nasty. A report from either side could have sorted this.

Quote from yeager :

For the next two races this person then complains, insults, accuses... wow I was shocked, but it wasn't the first time i'd seen someone get so irate.

This behaviour spoils the atmosphere for many racers. Reporting this is a favour to the community.

Welcome back!

For some reason I seem to have shifting issues with the FJR. When I shift (flat) from 4 to 5 or 5 to 6 the gearchange sometimes does not happen but the ignition cut does work.

This only occurs in the restricted car. The unrestricted FO8 does not seem to have this problem.

Anyone else experienced the same problem?

Well that's what I meant. The restriction makes it copper free!

Quote from Stefani24 :

plz make the ufbr copper free, id really like to drive it

It is allready copper free

I miss "Dodge 'em" for the good ol' Atari 2600!

I am not a huge fan of midrace joining.

Races pretty often get messed up by people who join and interfere, Run into tyrewalls, tailgate slower drivers and pass at inconvenient places.

Everybody knows they have no place in the race.

To promote cleanliness for midrace joiners I would like to suggest a 5 point discount for each yellow flag they cause.

Just a suggestion...

Sorted! Wasn't the licence name.

I seem to be unable to submit a report see picture

Quote from SamH :

Relatively low speeds and sticky tyres really does provide for nose-to-tail and door-to-door driving. Despite the restriction, the car motors quite happily. You get a really solid opportunity to practice switch-backs and braking zone overtaking. An opportunity to practice this stuff, that happens once or twice in any other server, can happen in the UF-BR from the beginning of the race right to the line.

So it's under-powered and over-rubbered, but it is a Bronze server after all. It's an absolutely invaluable step along the road to anyone's racing "eduxperience", IMO.

Amen to that!

UFBR seems to be back in business! Had some great racing there this past evening!

When I started this thread I hoped to get the discussion going about getting the UFBR server back in the spotlights.

But having a discussion about when one is allowed to have an opinion seems to be more iinteresting.

By the way: 2 sessions is not enough to have a well funded opinion

I would actually fancy an all LX4 server at bronze level. Maybe alternating the server between LX4 and UFBR. Not between races but between days.

Swapping between races would mean a lot of people disconnecting because the other car may not be their cup of tea.

The LX4 would be a great build up to race 2.

The UFBR could be good practice for driving the restricted cars on sticky tyres at race 3.

It does not take a lot of talent to drive the UFBR safely but keeping the momentum in such an underpowered car is not something to underestimate. (something I still seem to lack)

The UF baby R does not seem to atract the grids it did a few weeks ago. I am wondering what the reason might be.

I really love racing a pack of these cars.

Keep it up, racing is clean on the other side!

I got the promotion! :elefant:

Quote from sinbad :

Maybe people with a license above (for example, but not necessarily) Gold must start from the back of the grid?

I'd also like to see something brought in that moves someone that wins from a pole position start back in the grid for the next race, say up to 10 places back or something.

Personally I do not agree with faking the competition like this. If you are a better racer you deserve to be in front. There is not much satisfaction in beating someone who was handicapped because of his/her superiority.

Happy new year all!

I voted for bronze and above even though I am still copper because it was just common sense.

It will take me some time (79pts) to get bronze. With the UF-BR it would have taken me a few hours but with the car's on race 1 it will be some weeks.

I can't handle the road-type tyres very well but that's my problem. This gives me a good reason for improving my skills with these tyres.

The gap that was between copper and silver was not a big encouragment. The UF-BR at bronze level is!

It is down (at least at the Baby UFR server)
