Very simple....Just replace any two lineups of your choice with FZ5 and XRT (preferrably FXR and FOX, those are the most boring)
After a few requests to update our official roster. I've now done so in the team thread and LFSW will be updated as well
Like....FZ5 or XRT on oval? That would be much better than FXR or some other flat out combo. Good to see another oval server though. I'll definitely pop in now and then
A lot of the video was kinda retarded when it exaggerates quite a lot on the extent of how the variables surrounding a race car affects the driver. Martin Brundle's F1 insight was a more intelligent look at how a race car is very physical. But hey...this video's american entertainment...you'll bound to have some exaggeration
But what personally (and the only thing that) surprised me is how much consistent G-Force ovals can generate. I had no idea that Texas basically generated 6-7 Gs consistently with ChampCar. I also had no idea that the oval had a history of generating too much Gs in which ChampCar had to actually stop going to the track.
Texas is really tame compared to some of the massive superspeedways though...what would have happened if they went to Talladega or Daytona? I hear even the Dover oval's banking is 3 stories high.
I think Spa is an example of 5Gs in which Eau Rouge generates about that much including negative Gs when you go down the corner.
Yeah 9Gs is too farfetched. I thought around 6-7Gs. But imagine a consistent 6.4Gs for 2 hours
I just got around to reading this. TBH the XRR or FZR is a better car for the oval...just more exciting in those other two 
I probably would have signed up anyways...give it patience mate...there's still quite a few oval racers in LFS the last time i checked

I thought the CARTs at Texas was taking about 7Gs consistently....9Gs sounds a bit much. But they did call the Texas race and CART (ChampCars) eventually stopped going to ovals in general.
This whole problems with the oval generating too much consistent Gs gives a good explanation as to why tho (and it also explains why IRL consistently caps the IndyCars or makes them heavier when they dont need to)

ISO because TPE is a forced code on to Taiwan. Yeah sure, I'll probably race under china. But right now I'm on the verge of getting a Taiwan citizenship and I might change back to Taiwan.
It's absolute BS that China forces Taiwan to compete as "Chinese Taipei". It's pretty much a slap in the face to the Taiwanese.

Texas is always a wild one. But even the phrase that "race car drivers experience more G-Forces than shuttle astronauts at lift off" made me raise my eyebrows. But then again....race cars aren't pressurized. And pressurizing and that is what lowers the G-Forces?
G-Force discussion
I just recently watched this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rR28fH1J_do
First of all, do not turn this into an anti-American (or american motorsport) thread. I didn't create this thread to argue the merits of American Motorsports.
There...well I'm just mainly curious. Cause that video sounds like a whole lot of exaggeration. However, I do realize that open wheel racing in general (ovals or circuits) is very difficult on the body.
Did this really actually happen the way they said it did in C.A.R.T? Cause that sounds REALLY extreme but it would explain why they are trying to cap IndyCars at a certain speed (i think it's 240 mph). Also, why didn't this happen in F1? Is it because F1 G-forces are less consistent? (a lot of low speed corners and straights).
I was told by a friend that an F1 driver would experience more G-Force because of the heavy cornering but a IndyCar driver would experience a more consistent amount of G-Forces because of the centrifugal effect of oval racing.
Just would like to clarification on this.

Unless RO doesnt come out right?
Well...I kinda want Stefan in F1 now.
They confirmed Kazuki Nakajima and they said that they are close to a contract with Villeneuve.....
Can you imagine either of them in F1 again?

Updated.
(Jarl is in LLWS...so because of that we should have 4 cars right?)
Falkes. A quick note. The Change of Heart team will merge with Clockwork to be CoH-Clockwork Motorsports

As quoting DW:
"I wanna know the visionary that said "LETS TRY THIS THREE TIMES!!" LOL
Me wants the Kyoto 250 to have as much action as the last 50 laps of today's 500 
Man that was absolutely EPIC. I feel kinda bad for Richardson getting taken out in an underfunded team....nice to see Kvapil just squeeze in the 29th place.
But fantastic race and good run by Jr. I'm happy for Jamie after an abysmal 09 season in the 26

FINALLY race is restarting. The track temp will REALLY make this interesting
Hey...with all of Tilke's epic straights she might actually do fairly well
If she wasnt a girl...
She'd be like Buddy Lazier. She's not a bad driver...but she's not "fantastic" as danicabots will say.
She's just ok. I mean...she's not Yuji Ide or Milka Duno is she...now THAT'S an example of a bad driver. yeh...she doesnt deserve a lot of the hype around her. But at the same time she isn't that bad of a driver.
PS: Me wants Ashley Force in F1
For some reason...bumpdrafting just sucked today. Papis, Gosselin, Cobb, Carmichael. All the drivers I wanted to do well got taken out because of bumpdrafting (among others).
Hilarious how bumpdrafting caused such a major problem.
Congrats to Peters...and good job to Piquet. He did impress me today. But man...the bill will be high for NASCAR this weekend...lets just hope the 500 will be a little better.

Because he looks like an absolute redneck bum???
And yeah...what the hell happened to Allgaier? Did he just decide not to go for it and ends up paying for it?
Also...that lap 1 truck crash....purely dillon's fault. Poor spacial awareness...and Jennifer got in it
