the starting lights need to be moved away from the spam. 
i dont mind having the map under all the text spam but the start lights can be covered up.
i dont mind having the map under all the text spam but the start lights can be covered up.what you gotta keep in mind is that the braking pressure you put on in 6th gear, top speed at the end of a straight, wont lock up where as if you keep that same pressure on all the way until 2nd gear, 20mph it will start to lock up because at slower speeds you need less braking power... damn im not very good at explaining stuff. be careful about downshifting too, dropping down a gear too fast puts stress on the tyres under braking too. i sometimes lock up but i have my sound turned up so i can let off the brakes a bit and let the wheels regain grip for the cornering. 
in my XFR i tend to stomp on the brake when im in 6th gear but i will gradually let off as the car speeds get lower and i go down the gears. sure ive read about that here somewhere.

well. i have tried to do hotlapping. ive uploaded about 20 hotlaps in the XFR to get "a rank" i had no idea what id get or where id be but i sure as hell knew it wouldnt be fast. i dont even try for the WR, i just try to get under the benchmark time. I cant do setups, i download those off inferno then try and match that time. I often get Flotch's setup, then i find flotches WR then i watch the replay, then i try and do the same thing.
hotlapping taught me to drive the car properly, i could drive before i did the hotlaps, but watching the replays and really finding the sweetest line on the track improved my races there so much.
You need to add an option to the poll: I upload hotlaps because noone is online.

i once had a weird pain in my chest, i went to the doctors the next day and he told me i had a collapsed lung. kinda shocking but the night before i said to some friends, i think my lung is f***ed and it was. but i didnt exactly think it would be true. spend a few weeks in hospital because the air leak didnt fix then had to have surgery to fix it and well, 5 collapsed lungs later im like, constantly shitting myself daily thinking it may happen again.
and on the subject of bad doctors... when i went into A&E for the 2nd lung collapse a doctor did a procedure wrong on me. he put a tube between my ribs to put the chest drain in (to get the air out) and he put the tube in wrong and i woke up (in out of coniousness cos of morphine) and my armpit had swollen the size of a small football and the shit hit the fan. i had surgical emphazhema and my skin nerves and feeling are still trying to repair themselves. i had to beg the doctors to take a look at it because they thought i was panicking, but I was completely right to.
and now my confidence in health care is really bad, i make sure every doctor is telling me what they are doing, and if i have any worries i scream like a little girl and tell them, NO EFFING MEDICAL STUDENTS NEAR ME, OK!

check out this... lap 1 wheel on the grass in the 2nd chicane (the full speed one that often gets you on the grass) at AS club in UFR i think my rear wheel touches the grass just slightly and sends me off the track...it was fun getting caught out like that, often can get on the grass there perfectly fine but this time it just seemed to "catch" weird...
An experienced driver in LFS probably already takes a lot of care in overtaking backmarkers. Its not an Alien if he cant deal with traffic, hes just an accident waiting to happen. He thinks he's the man but really he hasnt quite got the experience yet, knowing where to overtake in the lap to least affect BOTH drivers laptimes, tyres. He should be realising that if he makes a cleaner overtake than the guy in 2nd place, he will gain. Getting frustrated like that will just let 2nd place catch up if they are better at overtaking the same backmarker. A backmarker may be a rookie, this means said rookie may not know the line, or even be able to stick to the same line for 2 consective laps...but this should be immediately clear to the alien from seeing the driving style of driver and/or previous race results.
If said backmarker is an experienced driver also, and is not yielding over a long time and is pulling out equal times to the alien then its the backmarkers fault for testing the patience of the alien. The Alien should try to not react by hitting the back marker, you can always hold them up in a later race, or have a little sly word after the race.
Since my return to LFS ive just accepted it in someway. Ill race the back markers, and have a good time at it too. Who cares if they crashed T1, if they are an equal speed as me ill have some fun. +1 lap schmap! its still a blast racing with someone closely. Winning isnt everything.
If I see a noob, having a hard time controlling the car, genuinely new to the game. ill let off the throttle. tuck up behind them, have a few feignt overtaking moves, slip and slide about behind em a bit, get their adrenline running. and show them what LFS is really about. even tho im at 90% pace
. I want them to have fun, i hate to think new guys feel that they are left out because they are a bit slow and spin a lot. send em your setup too, if only to get them more stable on the roads. tell em to watch your line, and if your really feeling kind give some advice on controllers...

At most, the car in the pit behind you may go through a crewman at the corner of your car as he leaves/enters a pit box. im sure most drivers would still avoid it and it would only occur rarely.
Having people in the pits permanently is another story. it leaves them open to be driven into. However you can put some kind of static models of Team management etc on the pit wall with a lap board sticking out when you go passed.

Hello all hope you are well.
Not been racing on LFS for a few months, had an awesome summer and havent had it installed on this machine, or even my wheel, its been in the cupboard collecting dust. So its winter and I set it all up and have a go. Hook line and sinker im addicted again.
Ive been on the Racing for Ireland server racing XFR/UFR on AS Club, what a buzz. I love how LFS gets you so hyped up and the adrenaline running that your sweating in your seat infront of your PC. Screw cigarettes or coffee, i need another 5 lap fix of this ...
its a bit wooooa and a bit wheeeey but its a fantastic race, and I got my PB on the last lap. go go ufr power! try viewing it from my motor cause i had a real buzz driving it.

try viewing it from my motor cause i had a real buzz driving it. You sir, are a genious! That video was excellent!!!
That was really really really good, watching it again, top quality stuff there!
really liked that LX-6 video
Signed up, looking forward to another race. Not sure which car i will be in yet, depends how testing goes.
I would love to get a little model of the XFR with my own skin on it heh
thats how i found Live For Speed, I was searching for motor racing videos and found a short video someone made of some racing and thought, hey, whats this game, got the demo straight away.
that was brilliant! thanks!
oh man i just laughed my tits off for ages.
you could try using the droplet tool thingy whatever it is, the thing you use to grab colours, like get a ferrari logo and use it to grab the red... i guess it would be close...
well i voted for westhill 
but im happy racing any track there is because well, wherever we are its gonna be good fun.
but im happy racing any track there is because well, wherever we are its gonna be good fun. yep and with the speed it could then show the reaction time too.

heheh, the football fans got scared off by all the guys moaning about the hooligan thing.
i think sky one are doing a girlie movies thing during the world cup for those who dont want to watch the football. so you can all watch some of that instead. lol
lol
football has changed, its not as bad as it used to be, noone wants to see hooliganism in the sport, well maybe millwall fans but they are from a different planet anyway. the world cup is a time when you get to really connect with complete strangers, youll never see a time like it when there are people tooting their car horns and celebrating with random people. even people who dont like football tune in and watch it because the world cup is fun! if you dont know the guy/girl next to you, so what, you can talk to them about the game your watching together.
i know for sure that there will be all sorts of people down my local, and none of them will be brawling or doing anything like that.
look if you dont start liking football im gonna send my mates round and brick all ya windows. heheh
heres a perfect example of why they can be good.
what an amazing video, thoroughly enjoyed every single second of it. great music, great crashes. just brilliant.
yeah were talking about the football that uses feet LOL
