As i've already said, theres an even longer endurance race i plan on entering IRL. Solo entries are not only allowed but quite common

i think he means me.... j/k

part of why I thought that "street" and "club racing" versions would be a good idea.

Quick change gearboxes are available in 5 speed, so i dont really see why 5 vs 6 is a big deal on the street cars. My issue is that if it's there i want to be able to adjust it.

because i can deffinitely falls under self satisfaction. I'd also like to see how i stand up to solo endurance before trying to tackle something far more dangerous in a real car.

If i cant make it 24 hours in LFS on a close circuit track, how the hell can i expect to last 32 hours in the desert of Baja California?

Think of it as a dry run. As for the competition.... I'm competing with the other solo runner.

Dustin, i suggest you stick to the break strategy too. get up and move around. stretching is good for keeping your mind sharp too.

actually i'm working on the things i need for this first. and yes i do intend to take breaks when needed.

Breaks don't take anythign special, but hydration in the middle of a race is important, so i'm working on that.

10 minute break every 2 pit stops? fine with me, i've done double and triple stints before so i'm fine on that, and taking breaks means i get to evaluate my own condition and decide whther or not to continue.

Guess I'll go ahead with developing my prototypes

Becky, thats exactly why I'd like to offer both, but my investor is pitchinga fit because i want to use commonly available parts so as to not grab you guys by the short and curlies for replacements.

Of course I would sell the parts from my website, but I'm strongly against making something proprietary when i dont have to.

for the turn-key version i dont mind using proprietary robotics to reduce the selling cost.

the software that my team is developing would drive ther servos for you and the servo's woul just screw into the kit. same with led's just put them in place, and put the appropriate lense over them

very similar, however using plasmalite and phidgets interfaces to driver servos, led's and LCD readouts

Would you buy a dashboard kit for sim racing?

I'm talking with an investor, and mentioned the idea of offering both fully build dashes and bare bones kits (provide your own servos LED's and electronics)

The prototype we discussed was based on the 98 Impreza 2.5 RS with full options (analogue guages, shift light, gear indicator) for expansion to make it appropriate for a gtr car.

further development will happen behind closed doors, btu this is just to guage interest

sometimes little things like that can help further the ignorance of the masses.

It's a formula SAE car, not a kart. and really i don't see anything kartlike about it.

Ok, again. THE MRT IS NOT A KART. It's a formula SAE car. huge difference.

huge huge huge difference.

you should make it so that you have to search for duplicate suggestions before starting a new improvement suggestion thread

beginning bumpification process.........

Completed, Have a nice day

+1 for using what's already there even though my old thread for doing the same thing got shot down http://www.lfsforum.net/showth ... mp;highlight=nother+aston

+1 to each of the new cars suggested. Nothign wrong with adding diversity tot he classes while you balance them.

a mid engine GTi class cr similar to an MR2 is also a good idea

the modes are un needed but the cars seem like a good idea

I'd also like to see TBO class obsorbed into a sports car class with non turbos that perform at avery similar level

you shouldnt email at all. do what i did and call customer support.

doubt they would this late

I've had my DFP for over a year and a half now, no problems other than with the oridinal pedalset's crappy pots. Logitech replaced them within 2 days of my complaint. I've only had to clean out the pots on my pedals only twice, and ive only a little play in the gearing of the wheel

Mazda AZ1 for the win

I like to toss MRT/ AutoX Circuit layouts up on teh ZWR server occasionally. Anyone interested in a league?

and what ever happened to developing new technology for teh street cars in the race cars?

I would suport 100% JGTC like body rules (must match factory sillouette with exception for wings and scoops. And how about engines that actually include technology?

what would be really helpful is supporting the racer file format... but thats never gonna happen

+1 for much larger area
+1 for airport environment
and to add to scania's post
+1 for marked pit boxes (chalk outline) as placeable objects, just like restricted zones and the like

it would be nice if there was a way to load 3 different tweaks as a pack, just for simplicity. load pack A to simultaneously load XFGA XRGA and XRTA

less confusion and less car swapping

moving the demo cars up to LRF or TBO class stats could be quite interesting, especially for STCC type events.

Breizh, could i try your tweaks some time?
