Quote from Razvan :

Id like to participate, though im not a demo racer.... If you guys want to let me in it would be great(maybe if all the spots dont ge filled up)

If we only get one or two drivers on server 2 then I will allow S2 racers to fill up the spaces. I'll PM you if that's the case

A league website is being made at the moment but I haven't had time to much on it in the past month or so.

A video would be good but I am absolutely rubbish at video editting so I think its best if someone else does it.

I'm going to start PMing leaders of demo teams informing them about this so i'm hoping to get both servers full.

You have a PM Alex (siemens)

Hehe, I've only ever driven a CRG. I don't have the money to hire/buy a kart to test it. The one I've got will do at the moment.

(Like Becky said, those with lots of money win, those with not a lot of money - e.g. me - don't and have to make do with what we have. IMO having an older and worse handling kart improves driver skill and you can still keep up with a lot of the new karts :shrug

Don't try and hijack my thread, this is mine, get your own!

EDIT: Thanks Forbin, I now love you! (Not literally)

The clue was 'latin name', not just 'latin'. Hmm, this is a tough one.

They gave me a clue: Latin. I'm just more confused now

It doesn't look too much like a FOX to me, the older FRs look more like FOXs in my opinion.

Crg Ftw!

The sand physics are off but that's only because we can't dig into the ground. In a way that also applies to the grass, although it wouldn't happen as often.

While we're on the subject of gripping things, the tyres should grip onto other tyres better than the road, making it possible to flip and generally get bounced around if you lock wheels in an open-wheeler.

Replay

EDIT: No problem, i got the place back anyway

It was a fun race, even though I was on my own for most of it. Considering it was my first time properly driving these cars I think I did alright.

I don't see the attraction of having the Nurgburgring, IMO it wouldn't be used on public servers just because it's so long and the field would be VERY spread out.

What I would like to see though is (when we get karts in LFS) real life kart tracks. Not necessarily the big, well-known ones, but some of the smaller club ones such as Wombwell, Fulbeck, etc (I don't know any tracks in other countries apart from the big ones). This way we avoid the big licensing fees (smaller clubs are likely to ask for smaller amounts of money) and it's still somewhere that people can go drive at in real life.

That's a good idea, I'll try that

Bin Laden seemed to be the most obvious answer to me but I've been told it's wrong. I'm thinking the picture might have nothing to do with it.

I've got a riddle to solve for a friend's quiz, could any of you help me out? (Not necessarily give me the answer, just a clue will do)

There is a picture of the Twin Towers collapsing in the background and there is some text:

"They searched for him in the midst of despair.

When the world fell into disrepair.

Yet.. this has nothing to do with prayer"

Has anyone got any ideas?

One very simple word:

chavs.

Karting here too. This was my first proper season of racing and we spent about £800 in total. We do it on pretty much the lowest budget you can do it with (getting tyres from bins at S1 meetings etc). That doesn't include buying the kart or the engine rebuild that's coming in January.

So I would say if you're careful you can get a season (12 races including winter champs) of club racing in for about £1500 including an engine top-end rebuild at the end of the year (in Junior Max).

P.S. I've only done 6 races this year, that's why I've only (that sounds like it's not a lot :shrug spent £800.

Also, in most cases, you are allowed to make one back-up of a DVD for private use only. That's according to the law though, a lot of people totally ignore that

Quote from TCannon :

If you are into DIY projects, take a look at my DIY Pedal Guide. It has a design for a floor model or overhang model. It also features a pressure sensitive brake pedal. There will be a review of my guide in the December issue of AutoSimSport magazine. www.autosimsport.net. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Todd

I know it's not too expensive to build but I don't want to spent too much on it - around £40 would be good. I also don't have the time to build my own.

They ranged from 1:10.95 with high pressures to 1:13.77 with low pressures.

A note on the Pepsi/Coke thing - I usually go for Pepsi cans but Coke bottles. Don't ask why, I'm not sure

1) Have you ever bought a product on the strength of an advert alone and why?

Kinda, I've gone to a shop and looked at the packaging then bought it.

2) Have you ever bought a product because it had an aspirational advert that appealed to you and what was it? (eg Lynx ads show the product making someone a hit with the ladies)

Not that I know of.

3) Do the production values of adverts affect your view of the product? (eg Marks & Spencers vs Iceland)

Yeah, I guess. If it's too over-the-top like M&S I won't buy it, if it's too cheap (Cillit Bang) then I won't either. It's gotta be in the middle somewhere.

4) Skoda cars are made by VW yet more people buy the more expensive VWs over the cheaper Skodas because of Skoda's past image. Do you buy products based on brand name alone?

Yes, I bet everyone has at least once.

I just posted results of an AI test with FOXs at BL1

EDIT: To sum it up, fuel consumption does change with tyre pressure.
