For me, definitely FZR because of the inconsistency of the balance of grip. It pitches forward and back a lot more than the other 2 so I find it difficult to balance the car properly between entering a corner and exiting. With the XRR or FXR, I can easily throttle steer it out but with most setups that I've driven with the FZR is that it seems the idea is to go into the corners fast to maximise front end grip when its pitched forward and then wait patiently to put in throttle input.

Although, that said, there have been setups which defy this logic but only a bit, the car still pitches back and forth quite a lot but Jet's BL1 set (Patch X) is quite good.

No thanks, I like saving my time for racing

Quote from Jordan2007 :

My Mum hates dogs.. Im mostly getting it for me

Not that I'm going to bother suggesting a hiding spot for a dog because frankly, I see this post utterly ridicolous but I'm compelled to say that thats not a nice thing to do. If your mum hates dogs, get her something that she likes and that'll she use.

It was going to be 4 stages? oh man! , why did Scawen change it to 3?

I have a serious complex problem with odd numbers when it comes to game development

Hey guys

I was wondering where i could download some uk tracks like Donnington, Breans Hatch, Snetterton and Thruxton??

Can some people post some likes up?

Cheers Dude. !!

In LFS, as stated by other people here is not possible atm but may be possible after the release of S3 which will most likely be around 2010-2012.

But there is rFactor which is pretty good as well.

rFactor

rF1600 (Skip Barber Formula Dodge, quite similair to FF1600)

Donington

Brands Hatch

Snetterton

Thruxton

So get all those and you're set

Hi all! a friend of mine is competing the Middle East Karting Cup. Now, we're both new to Rotax and are trying to find guides everywhere on kart preparation, setup, repair and spares guides. One thing though that we know how it works but don't actually know how to adjust is the fuel/air mixture of the carburetor. Keep in mind that we don't have any special software for it. So would anyone here know where I can find a guide to adjusting the fuel/air mixture?

Thanks!

Also, next year, they'll be banning all the fins and weird pointy bits so the cars should look more like late '90s F1 cars which IMO, were some of the best looking F1 cars ever .

they get a perm ban, afaik.

Because the FO8 WR is 36.76? Now think about how impossibly well established the times are on the oval, and then someone comes and beats it by more than 5 seconds...

Any updates on the skin?

Something else as well that seems to be a bit odd. I might be wrong about this but for some reason, whenever I go to a site that I can access, the status bar at the bottom keeps flickering between "Waiting for www.[site].com" and "Transferring from www.[site].com". Is that normal?

Also, I feel that sites are loading slower too. I have around 10 tabs for my homepages in Firefox and I remember that a little while ago, they'd all load quickly but now, it seems to be a bit slow. Also, before whenever I used to visit a site, most of the images would already have been loaded and I basically see everything and not have to wait patiently for images to load.

I think I pressed a weird shortcut in Firefox yesterday thats screwed this thing with sites up. I meant to load a new tab (CTRL+T) but ended up pressing CTRL+(something else) and then all the text in the tabs had a dark grey outline. I've tried reinstalling Firefox but for some reason, it still has all my old settings even though I deleted my firefox folder after unninstalling it.

Thanks guys for the help

@Deko: didn't work but thanks anyway.

Hi all! well, I'm having a weird problem with a site that I used to be able to visit with no problem. Whenever I try to connect to RaceSimulations my connection keeps timing out, however, whenever I try to connect through a site like HideMyAss, I can connect. I've tried pinging RaceSimulations through the command prompt but keeps timing out as well.

I have this problem with some other sites too and I don't know how to fix it

So would anyone know how I can fix this?

Hi all! well, its been a while now but I'm back . Since Damien being a fellow Irishman and is bloody quick and successful in the world of motorsport, I was hoping if someone could replicate his SAS Lechner Racing 911 GT3 Cup car.

I was only able to find a few pics .

Would really appreciate it if someone could make it

As much as it was difficult for Lewis, he still got an almost fully paid career with the exception of the fact that his dad paid for the karting side of things.

Also, even though Schumacher's dad was a brick layer, he actually owned a karting track where little Michael and a bit later, Ralf could drive on all day so I would say they were a bit lucky.

I haven't read into DC but I guess according to what you say Mazz, DC had it tough. I definitely know that Damon had a tough time but a point that could be brought up is that he had his dad's name so I'm sure that gave Damon an extra advantage when it came to sponsorship over his rivals.

To be honest, I know that I'm Irish so this may seem a bit biased but in my opinion, one of the perfect examples of a cliche story of a guy who was no body and had a tough life getting to F1 was Eddie Irvine. He had to work as a mechanic to fund his way into racing and he did and he did race in Ferrari and almost winning the championship in '99. Mind you, as much of a role model he is for his strive to get to F1, he was a playboy who used to go clubbing on the Saturday night before the race so as far as character, perhaps you can't respect him too much but as for his strive to get there, thats quite an admirable quality in his character.

Ok so ima guy from New york, Moved to florida 4 years ago. When i lived in New york i hung with ALL black people, harlem, Bronx, Queens,Exc... But now i act "black" so i am called a wigger due to my color being white!When acting "black" is a stereotype! I find it just as bad calling me wigger as a black person n*****! I call all my freinds by it but a at end! All my frreinds say im black they dont care! But white people dont understand the bring up im from! What is your take?!

*Discaimler* If you find this offensive I am sorry! It in no way is ment to be offensive nor is it ment to be racsist! *Discaimler*

Well, you know, I strongly believe in the idea that everyone is free to be whoever they want to be. Thing is though, I've had a friend who was white and used to talk to me as you would a white person to speak but then a few weeks later, his attitude changed to being what is known as a "Wigger". I think its ok if you lived for most of your life in that environment, its fine, completely but its those who "pretend" to be are the problem. I wouldn't call them a Wigger but I'd definitely point out that I know they're acting

That's terrible table manners.

Yeah I know, I have knack for putting my elbows up on the table, burping, farting and eating with my mouth open and occasionally, talk with a mouth full of food so nothing new dude .

Quote from senn :

here's a tip, don't give a rats ass what controller you use, stop advertising useless BS and taking up even more of my precious screen space. Do you think ppl who use a mouse are gonna put "MOUSE" into their name? wtf is wrong with ppl.

I totally agree with you, however, just learn to ignore it . I think its sad how people put G25 in their plates as well .

They're just trying to show off

I mean, I own a good quality wheel and my mates didn't know for like 3 months that I had it until one of them came over to my house and saw it. Modesty people, thats the way forward

Well, had a go with it now , great tool so a big thanks to you mr. ciph . I just wanted to ask if a default settings button could be added so that I can revert back to the old settings straight away

Quote from jaws99 :

Somehow, amazingly 1.36.604

Fastest yet

DAMN YOU! , I got a 1:36.637 .

There are many who do that to get there but I respect those who fight to get there, after all, it proves that they're more persistent, more independent and most probably more passionate.

Nice fun game but I can't get analogue throttle . Any way to get the pedals to work?

Oh yeah and I can't get replays to work . I press R for See Replay, just resets .

Best run so far after about 2 or 3 runs is 1:37.71 (I didn't cut any corners )

but .. you're in egypt? They'll only accept UK applicants. They'll be looking for someone who can and is willing to drop everything and start racing full time, in the UK.

If you're still enthusiastic you might wanna plan your trip home (or close to) soon

Well, luckily , my dad was talking about moving back so there is hope and of course, you can tell them on my behalf that I definitely live in Ireland much surprise to the fact that I put Cairo, Egypt as my location but just placing a fake location .
