Really? Let me sell a couple of rooms at the back of the house and we'll talk!
Great video, very educational, thanks.
Well, I certainly haven't driven any of these things, but the surprisingly chunky weight of most modern supercars is a matter of public record. I can't imagine that they feel fantastic in tight corners dragging that much mass around. Happy to be put right if anyone knows better.
Like an Elise perhaps? No, wait, they're not front-engined are they? But something in that ballpark? Sounds good to me.
Modest, too!
(Just kidding around Flippy, no offence.)
Agreed absolutely. Anyone who has ever driven around a smooth-concrete-surfaced multi-storey car park will understand this.
I am the Michelin Man, so I just use blanks.
S14 if you go down this route there's no end to it. Next you will want Live for Sleep, in which one has to control the turning and rolling movements of the sleeping driver the night before the race, in order to make sure that he's properly refreshed for the morning.
Hey, David, glad you're enjoying Club FOX. I think I drove a few races with you last night.
While we're discussing this combo: did anyone else get a serious improvement in their lap times post-patch? I'm still not exactly fast here, and only cracked the 1:02 barrier last night, but pre-patch I was struggling to crack 1:03. Is it just me or does the new physics make the FOX inherently a lot quicker around AS club?
I can vouch for this as I think I was the guy in front. Kev is cleaner than a clean thing in a very clean place.
Sadly I can vouch for this too.
As for the Montoya photos, I agree -- if I was approaching any LFS chicane and the car positions looked like shot 1 in that montage, I would back off. I guess I can imagine going for it if I absolutely knew and respected the person in the car in front and knew that they already knew I was there, but even then I think I'd wait for a better spot.

I don't dare to listen to it because it might be me. God knows I have done some shouting at those people... 
Becky, you have my sympathy.
It sounds like an extremely frustrating situation. You're effectively put in a position where you either have to become the Emily Pankhurst of LFS and fight for female players' rights to not be harrassed, or you have to hide behind a neutral / male pseudonym. Neither of these options are fair, but sadly one could get pretty old waiting for random people on the internet to behave reasonably.
It seems to me that if the little bastards can't get the small stuff right (like braking into T1) then they're not going to get the big things like gender equality right either.

Dendy, your obsession with the idea that slow guys cause accidents would gain a lot of credibility if you personally would set a good example of how fast guys don't cause accidents. You seem like a friendly enough guy but whenever I have been on the track with you I have been forced to give you a wide berth. I don't think I'm the only one.
I believe Max has someone to do that for him.
Bit of a comment on life in general and the human condition, really.
Come on Niki, name names!
I wish it had stopped working at the beginning.
Comparison of high-end pedals?
Hi, all.
I was wondering whether anyone out there has experience of more than one set of high-end pedals. I have been looking at the VPP, ECCI and BRD sets and am currently leaning towards getting the VPP. I know Tristan, for example, has ECCI pedals. Is there anyone out there who has tried more than one of these or any other high-end pedals and could offer some comparative comments?
Basically what I am after is rock-solid reliability, a long soft throttle pedal and a realistic short-throw brake with strongly increasing pressure as you depress it.
Cheers,
--Jason.

Vain, I like your suggestion, but along with some of the other respondents I worry that it would lead to people only driving the faster of the two versions online.
Just out of interest, though, which current LFS car would you say is closest to the track-prepared feel that you're looking for? The LX-6 maybe?
Cheers.

I disagree with Becky often enough that I thought I should formally register my agreement on this one.
Best of luck with it, Dan. I think slow-in, slow-out might be the best strategy for a test though.
