I can beat that, I get 7mpg out of my bike at Snetterton

lol

I took the track insurance as I had just got the car, I probably wouldn't do that again. I was getting 9mpg on the track, ouch, and I trashed the tyres and brakes.

Sometimes the track days have slick for hire, which are worth it in my opinion. For scoob events a rally truck would turn up fully kitted with scooby wheels with slicks fitted.

My track days cost £50 to enter. But then it also cost me the following:

£100 - fuel
£150 - set of brake pads
£350 - set of tyres
£150 - track insurance

£800 for a morning entertainment. Sore one.



Car's changed a bit since then:

Depends on the track\group organising the track day.

I'm a member of the Subaru Impreza Drivers Club and the track days I have attended at knockhill have been open pit-lane types where between 09:30 and 13:30 you can come and go as you please.

Whats the lastest update on this patch? It seems to have been @ Z10 for a long time now?? Has a big issue been found?

I'd be more excited if this was a new race car for the race sim.

The first response in this thread should have been stfu n00b. I would have lol'd hard

Eric is busy sorting out the scirocco, so that you will all shut up.

I sure hope that since S2 Alpha was released he's been working on more than that.

Eric may do models but what does he actually do? What's his work-rate like?

As for my LFS setup I have it set so I never use the full travel of the brake pedal and I modulate my braking to try and achieve maximum braking at all times.

Onboard footage of series like the Aussie V8's shows drivers dabbing the brakes way before a corner to ensure they still have pedal pressure. I've seen this commentated on more than once.

I only recall seeing this done on street circuits though, although I'd bet they do it on the way down the hill at Bathhurst as well.

We've been waiting years for the FZR interior and we probably still have years to wait.

We don't know. Haven't heard from the devs in ages.

link?

It's not the full 2009 car, it's an interim car for evaluating 2009 parts.

Better link here

+1 for a new track environment.

Please let the FZR interior be available this side of xmas.

That's life as a demo racer

Once you've done that get yourself a dictionary.

"report exellent results and claims of saving at least 2 seconds on an average lap"

LMAO

Quote from Chrisuu01 :

Dont go dude i mean im racer and sometimes i drift to im slow on some tracks but that does not stop me from playing and trying til i get the hang of it.

And the tyre wear and heat isnt that bad i can drift fairly wel with it when im on shikane drifters
wich is rare becaus i love racing more in my personal opinion.

But i dont hope u think real tyres used for drift last that long within2 runs those tyres are ruined

You might want to PM that to 3 years ago when he might have cared

Hey,

I'm looking for some good racing community/servers to join, to escape from the ever increasing noobness of the common LFS servers. It's getting to a stupid level now, hardly any one uses their mirrors, has special awareness or has any idea of how to drive.

Pretty much guaranteed that when I play online, I will get hit off track because of a noob (no, not a newb, there is a difference) having no idea how to race or act to what is around him/her/it.

Sure, people have to learn and there will be accidents in racing, and I'm not saying I'm the best driver out there, far from it. But the people that race on there are like kamazazi drivers, then when someting happens it's just a pissing war of 'wtf, idiot, f*****' and other comments that do nothing.

When a server gets to around 14 users connected, it just becomes a big magnet for little kids that spoil everything. Are there any proper community/servers to join that have strict rules and enforce them, making sure there is no stupid behaviour on them? I just want a race with people that know what they are doing, please!

Regards,

AlexC, I stand by my recommendation for CTRA. As others have correctly stated, the entry servers (race 1 & single seater 1) are a bit of a noob fest but once you get past those the quality of racing increases significantly. The players ability to race well is directly linked to their license so any people with poor racecraft are weeded out of the system as their licenses are reduced or removed completely. Race3 is my favourite and the quality of racing is superb.

Hope this helps.
