Quote from dadge :

surely the best car b4 the season was Renault, then ferrari was 2nd and Mclaren was 3rd (i think) you can't blame LH for having a good car, blame Mclaren for making some really good improvements.

dadge, something I learned a while ago, winter testing means very little compared to the start of the season. I judge the winning drivers or teams from the first race and even then, as we saw at Silverstone, Ferrari bounced back after McLaren were pwning their arses in the few races before Magny-Cours. Tbh, with the way things are going, it can be any of the Ferrari or McLaren drivers' championship. We'll have to wait and see I guess but I expect McLaren will be trying quite hard at Nurburgring(1/2 Home GP for Mercedes and wanting to bounce back from Silverstone). It looks like an exciting season.

Just be gentle with it . I have my MS SideWinder FFB wheel here thats been living with me for over 5 years now and only had to replace the micro switches once . That said, it is coming near to its end so will have to go for something new soon but if you want a good durable wheel and if you can find one, MS SW FFB is the one to go for .

I'm not trying to apply any pressure. Scawen, would there be any chance in the near future for support for Arabic characters? I'm just interested to know if you could give me an estimate of when it'll happen

Come on Victor, let us in!

but pw'ed?

Hi all! I'm interested to know what drinks or foods or both together obviously you think helps your speed out drastically. For me, it tends to be either a Twix/Mars/Snickers (Mars and Snickers have a better effect ) and a nice cold glass of Sinalco Cola (That drink is tasty stuff! ).

yeah LOL! . Win all 3 weeks and you get an LX8

Since the competition is starting in just a few hours, I thought I'd start off



DO YOU FEEL LUCKY PUNK!?... WELL, DO YA!?

BOOM BABY! .

58.81

nah Ciaran, UFR definitely more rollable . I mean, it has the same basic characteristics as the XFR but is lighter, meaning easier to roll and from my experiences, I spent a lot more time on my roof than on the road .

Quote from Alan Dove :

I reckon if I said 'night follows day' you would still find some way to argue with me...

All i started of with was a tongue in cheek comment about what the devs have done and my previous posting suggesting something like this should be done and you all go of your nut!

come on!!!!! Why turn this into a flaming topic, when clearly the devs have actually put some proper time and effort in to providing some of you miserable lot a chance to win some cool prizes!!!

Have some respect! Well done devs! Keep it up!

Oh right! see I couldn't help notice you were arguing with the other users there, my bad :rolleyes:

LOL! , spot on there Deko

I'll say this in the most appropriate way possible that I can think of...

FFS! why do you care SO much about who got the idea? just be grateful that, not only are the devs giving us a chance to get some really nice prizes, this should also should help making the LXs more popular.

If I were any of you, I'd leave all this childish and immature arguing and get practicing in the LX4 because trust me, with a competition like this one, you're REALLY gonna need to practice. As for me, you may think I'm being a hypocrit, well, I'm not, I'm loading up LFS now for some practice.

Actually, wait, sorry, keep on arguing, you're giving me a better chance of winning .

Niko and funnybone, while you two are busy fighting away, I'll be driving to victory .

Definitely interested in this! .

yeah! you're right there. No one ever races LXs or hardly anyway. This'll boost up the interest again . That G25 is MINE! MINE MINE!!!

So my 30-40mins guesstimate was around about right then

Yep, I was just showing off

Quote from jamesrowe :

Yeah I'm sure you have raced him sometime, you probably can't remember where due to him being so far out in front

The only girl you will be satisfying is sully

Nah, don't worry m8, Sully's satisfied . Kate's turn now! .

Just tell her one thing, can she handle the Leprekaun? because I can be too much for most gals .

6.752/10 .

Love the nutter ginger bread man! .

I may have a run at it . I could perhaps get myself and my bro and perhaps a 3rd friend . Lemme know how things go .

Well, Niki said he would release a few cars on the track at the same time. So lets say, 3 cars run each time on the track so thats 1:39 for the outlap and say set an avg. hotlap of 1:34s-1:35s and we'll say that there is a 10 second interval between each driver being released so thats about 4:10 (I think ) for the cars to do their outlap and hotlap then that x10 so thats 41:40 total time. Well, thats not bad but if perhaps you could go for a 5 second interval Niki, might be better because according to that, it'll take only 30:08 so thats 11:32 minutes less. I think that perhaps the best way to save time would be to go for a 20 minute session with everyone running on the track when we can? I'm sure there will be some traffic, no doubt about that but everyone should be able to get I'd say at least 3-5 clean laps.

Sorry for the whole mathematical madness , I just got a bit excited . Those times are ofcourse based on estimates but I'd say give or take a few minutes, thats quite close .

Thank you for reading,

Dr. Leprekaun

Hi all! I didn't know where to put this because its a request so please excuse me if I placed it in the wrong forum. Ok, well, I was thinking last night about the whole live settings thing that are in F1 cars these days (TC setting, brake bias[which we already have], ARB[already have], differential setting, rev limit setting and finally, engine brake setting). I may have missed some as well but I haven't read too much into what the driver can change whilst driving.

Anyway, some of you may think that this isn't very important but when you do long distance races, just like the real thing, I found if I shift at lets say, the 2nd light in the BF1, I can almost cut the amount of fuel I use per lap normally by 50% (seriously ) so I was thinking that it would be very handy to have a rev limiter setting to be able to use less fuel, thus being able to race a lighter car. TC setting is also something I would like to be able to adjust as the race stretches on. When I first start the race, the car can be heavy and slippy at the back so I'd use a bit more TC than usual then I would like to be able to use less (altho, does depend on the state of the rear tyres) TC as the car gets lighter and isn't as slippy at the back.

As for the engine braking and differential, well, I don't understand much with those settings as I am really a bit of a setup n00b but I am learning. I just think it would be really cool and REALLY handy to be able to change these settings whilst racing instead of having to compromise the setup to suit the car for the start of the race or for the last stint.

Tbh, if its just the 3 of us, I don't think a race would happen. In terms of constructors, well, obvious really, Jordan will have that and driver champ, I already have a big advantage over you lads so don't really see much point now. I'll still show up but like I said to my team mate, we'll see what happens in terms of who turns up at the next round and if theres a bad turn out then we'll just drop out.

Nope . There are still a couple other teams out there ALDI or wait , I don't know . Duke, can you help us out here?

Congratulations DR! . STROBE is a familiar name altho don't remember when we raced

nah nah, thats amateur stuff there lads. Sixsome is da shizzle . I'll satisfy your gal james .

Niko, pack it in m8, pack it in. I can see a massive clash coming up and we don't want that.
