just out of interest, for those who can't attend because of the start time, could you tell me how much earlier would the event have to be so that you can attend?
Ok, np but would it at least be possible if I could have a section for the FZ50 GT3 Cup? Its all set up and planned out, I'm simply just waiting for entrants atm but would make life a lot easier to have a section where I can state the various regulations and rules of the league so that they can be found easily.
well, at the moment, no but maybe you and JO53PHS can team up as he is interested too but doesn't have a team. I'll have a look at the drivers interested one day before the registration deadline and can pair you up with another driver who doesn't have a team.
ok, great, will add you to the sign up list. As for the skins, if you're going to make one, thats fine, no need to state colours but the idea, as stated in the document, is that if you don't, I can create a skin for you based on the FZ50 GT3 Cup skin design that I've created (cars in my avatar) but with the colour scheme that you want.
ok, I'll run restricted setups. I'll add the rule to the document but I'm going to test out the restricted downforce settings (apparently, the front wing can't be adjusted and is set at the lowest value possible). The spring rates and damper shouldn't be a problem. Brake power is also restricted so I've decided to calculate the brake power by calculating the average brake power of all WR sets.
Will add all the various restricted settings in the document once I calculate the brake power.
I discussed the matter of restricting other parts of setup with an InSim coder but unfortunately, he said its not possible so thats a rule that I'm afraid I can't restrict.
Hi all! well, I've been planning this league for a couple months now and its finally here! . The car used is the FZR with a %10 intake and 70 Kg restrictions to simulate the current Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car that is used in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup.
Regarding race dates, I have two proposed calendars. One that runs every week and one that runs every two weeks. You can find them both in the document. I will hold a poll to see what you guys are more happy with.
How to sign up:
Please provide your name, your LFS licence name, LFS screen name, the country you're representing, your team and whether you'll be creating your own skin and if not, as explained in the document, please provide details to the colours you wish to use.
Please write in the following format:
Name:
Licence name:
Screen name:

Team name:
I have my own skin:(yes/no + details on colours that you wish to use)
You can find all the information you need in the attachments below but sign up quick! registration closes June 7th.
not the end of the world really but if perhaps you can repeat the year altogether or take summer school, it'll give you a chance to pass the year. Its crap to repeat a year, I know but look at it in the sense, better make up for it now while you still can instead of finding yourself having a hard time getting into college/university and then ultimately making it difficult to get a good job later.
Hi there! I wanted to ask if it would be possible to have a league section for general Dynamic Racing events, similair to that of the Peregrinus events section.
Hi all! I'm not sure if you all remember but I believe back in S1 days, there was a tool that allowed you to have the headlights on all the time. I'm not sure if its called LFS Switch but I definitely remember there being one. Do you know where I can find it?
hi all! I was wondering if someone could help me out here. I can't seem to login to Gmail on my mobile and I've tried a good few times to make sure my pw is correct. It gives me an error when I login that the password is incorrect even though I checked it over and over again. It happened earlier with Facebook but for some weird reason, it works now . I've restored my original phone settings and cleared the cache and I've contacted Vodafone about it and was told that its out of their hands as its based on a Google's system and not theirs.
So does/did anyone here have the same problem and if so, how did you fix it?
I am talking from a real racing perspective of course . Sim racing helps with the basics and adaptability to various racing situations and cars but perfecting the driving side of it, you need to be doing real racing for that.
well, I can't race karts for 16 years as Senna did, simply because I don't have that kind of time if I were to reach F1 someday. Right now, I'm focused on getting into cars so karts are out of the question now.
@Intrepid: yeah, I've been there. Pretty cool facility and track but thing is, $ needed is quite extreme. I'm trying to create some awareness of KF1 or KF2 as they're not as expensive as Rotax. There are some businessmen of a friend of mine want to get into karting seriously and are going to build 4 karting tracks in Saudi Arabia this summer and they stated that if they can find a piece of land thats between 15-20 acres, they'll buy the land the next day so its very hopeful so if KF1 can be introduced in Egypt, that would be great as it seems to be cheaper than Rotax.
Hi all!. A few nights ago, I had an interesting discussion with my brother about comparing ourselves to racing legends like Jim Clark, Alain Prost and, in the very dangerous zone , Ayrton Senna.
Now, we're both sure that we're definitely not at their level, theres no chance that we are but one of the major questions to consider, do you believe in the chance that in future, theres a possibility that our driving ability could be equal of that of those drivers or even perhaps, be at a higher level or is it just a complete impossibility but if we were to say that it is a complete impossibility, does that not defy the concept that we're all human, that we're all the same? Of course, we had a major discussion a while ago about talent Vs. experience and how talent can't be gained, you just have it but well, we can never truly determine what it is that made certain drivers better than others.
Anyway, main point of this topic is to ask you, do you give a special status to these F1 legends and that its impossible to be at their level or do you believe that one day, with a lot of hard work, dedication and determination to improve yourself, reach their level
?
I'm most probably of the first opinion as Senna has always been my role model in racing and I try to understand and look at racing in the same way, hoping that perhaps I might be able to do some of the things he did but I'll most probably never believe that I'll be at his level, no matter what as I hold him in high regard but still, at the back of my mind, the second opinion is back there and keeps me thinking still.
NOTE: I am not stating that I'm at their level, I still believe that they're much better than me just so that you don't misunderstand my post and think I'm an arrogant c*ck
1) The person who did the hotlap worked hard on a set and deserves to have his set kept private to himself.
2) As a result of the other perspective, it could be stated that the person who set the WR feels insecure about his driving ability which is why he wouldn't share it.
Personally, I'm more biased towards the second option. I mean, first of all, its a nice thing to share setups and second of all, if someone is so proud of their WR then why not prove that they're the only ones who can do it, even if another person has the exact same setup, resulting in a crazy complex for those who are trying to beat it
stupid bloody ecclestone!!! :mad:. I mean, seriously, he's asking for way too much money from teams now. I remember Eddie Jordan saying that Ron Dennis said back in '97 that he would need something like $70 million to be a competitive team to fight for the world championship and that, at the current time of the interview (which I think was '04), he said he's struggling with well over a $100 million, struggling!
I'm really sad to see Super Aguri go as they were a really cool team and gave us some very exciting racing.
