Wow. Thank you so much! And like you said, you now own our souls

Bump.

Blackout, please could you make us a BF1 skin? We've entered the SGPA league and we need one Same sort of design as the others, please. (That sounds like I'm demanding it, I'm not)

We've got very fast company here.

You need to plug in the power too, have you done that?

I want to appeal our penalty. A stop-go penalty in the next race could ruin it for us and IMO the point of a new race is to start with a clean sheet. IMO all penalties should be applied to the race that the incident happened in. Maybe give us a several lap penalty in the results of the SO Long race? Seems more fair than impairing us in the next race.

I agree with us getting a penalty, some of us (including me) were a bit aggressive under safety car, but it should be applied to the last race, not the next one.

When did you become a Mod Franky?

My contribution: LFS is so good that its one of only two games that I regularly play.

I never posted the IGTC results here...

We got first FXR and 7th overall.

A little race report from me:

We lined up 11th on the grid. Jamie had a pretty good start, even though he got caught out by the VERY early start by the front guys. The next 20-odd laps Jamie battled hard. He got stuck behind the privateer team for many laps but eventually broke free. All the battling was bad for the lap times though and most laps were in the 1:34s with the odd one going into the low 1:33s, showing Jamie's true pace. Unfortunately about 5 minutes from the end of the stint he got a puncture. We decided to have a driver change a bit early and try make the best out of a bad situation.

So Niko took over. By now we were two laps down on the first-placed FXR of Prawler and in 10th position overall. Niko showed some nice pace with consistent 1:33s, helped by a clear track, helping us to catch back up to Prawler. By the end of Niko's stint we had taken back a lap from Prawler.

Bob took over from Niko as we crossed the half-way point. Bob also put some fast consistent laps in, again, not being troubled by much battling on track. When we came to the end of the third hour we were actually in front of Prawler by about 5 seconds. Unfortunately the pit-stop set us back about 15 seconds.

And finally I took over for my stint. I was a bit wobbly at the beginning with my lap times varying between 1:34s and 1:33s. After about 8 laps I settled down and set about catching Prawler. AFAIK Prawler had a couple of accidents, giving themselves quite a lot of damage. This, and the safety car periods, played right into our hands. We overtook Prawler while they were in the pits and proceeded to put 2 laps between us. I also set the team's fastest lap of 1:32.93 (also my previous PB) and at one point I did 5 laps within 0.05 seconds of each other. To say I was amazed would be an under-statement

So we crossed the line after 4 hours and something like 2 minutes in 7th place overall and first-placed FXR. Well done Jamie, Niko and Bob!

EDIT: /me Goes to properly setup our forum...

And I have....

Ah, read it yourself, lazy!

I do have a pair of racing boots but i haven't tried them. I don't think they'll have the same effect as in a car/kart as the pedals from my DFP are a lot lighter (easier to push down) than on my kart.

And, I always wear socks when racing. Trainers are just too big and bare feet just feels weird

I see a couple of people in our LFS league that are in my public Le Mans one

"Git." (I went for a slightly censored version )

Vindaloo is way too hot. No flavour. Chicken Korma is nice though

Driver to pits: "Err, I think somethings wrong with the car, it's not handling right"

"I'm telling you, there was half a car here a second ago!"

Why do we race then? If there was no chance, we should have the Qualifying and give away points on speed alone.

Thats life. Sometimes things are going to go your way, other times they won't. You knew the safety car was part of the plan from the begining, you had the opportunity to plan for the likely occurance of seeing it often.

When the safety car message appeared for the first time this race, I slowed down in Sector one, started to check my strategy, etc. Then my teamate on Ventrillo said "wtf are you doing, there is no safety car." I'm not crying about that. The system needs refinement.

That was one of the Prawler guys pressing his bind. He got a DT penalty for it.

About the safety car, it seemed to be changing speed a hell of a lot. It could just have been those in front but on the straight coming towards the last corner I had to accelerate to about 110mph then brake to about 40mph at least twice, just by following the person in front.

Personally, I say keep the safety car, it comes out in RL and we want to make the racing as close to RL as possible, right? The only thing I would say is make the rules more clear on a situation where you have say, 2, lapped cars following the safety car with people behind them coming to lap them. According to what someone said on the last page, the backmarkers should overtake the safety car. From reading your responses to questions in the 'checkup' thread it seems you can't.

You may have a point there. Especially Hyperactive up there..

Spam? This isn't spam. This is creative posting.

Yeah, that was kinda weird. I think its a bug with doing it on the same lap that you get it.

@Benji - I'll upload my replay to my website. It should be the whole 4 hours

We need a new pic so I choose this as the winner.

First FXR! Go Moo!

It was a fun race. I don't think any of my team though we would make up 2 laps on the Prawler guys and then get another two laps in front, but we did.

Checking you got mine and S14 DRIFT's too

20 years membership to LFS only costs £12 (or did, not sure if you can still buy S1 licenses)
