Red Bull's new anti-spy system. Efficient in all kinds of martian arts, and all types of combat that end in "Do".

Merry Christmas to Scavier

PS: Let's all hope that Baby Jesus gave you the strength and good will to post some more news

Merry Christmas to you lot!

Really? They've been doing this even since Christmas and New Year 2009.

Feliz Natal a todos os membros da spdo! :wmann3:

Quote from JJ72 :

so the layout actually exists before tilke updated it? almost identical to the national layout.

Old Track map - Current Track map

I believe that that layout was abandoned along with the old track. The GP track made by Tilke used more of the first straight on the run up to Turn 2, so the new GP track was made from scratch (apart from the Stadium section and the Start/Finish, obviously) and the national layout got either binned or "transformed" to a shorter version of the GP layout.

Merry Christmas!!!

Happy Birthday!

Being less than a week until Christmas day, everyone at Last Lap Motorsports has been reflecting on a 2011 which was lackluster, but not so tumultuous year for the team.
Our objectives have been pointed out, now it's time to start working towards them, and looking at what needs to be fixed:

1. Keeping a decent driver line-up. The main downsides of this year's line-up were immaturity (kids joining and adults leaving, added by some cases of bad behaviour), and activity (barely half of the 20-driver lineup were active).
   
2. Being more strict on recruiting. Throughout this year we have brought in any driver that showed interest in joining, with very light requirements. That proved to be a disaster, as most of those drivers were inexperienced children, who knew little english and some of them didn't even know how to work with LFS properly, not to mention that they would lose interest pretty quickly. Lesson learned, then.
   
3. Keeping attitudes under control. Some of our positive progress in 2011 has been overshadowed by some gaffes and bad attitudes by some team members either while racing or through the forum boards.
   
4. Improving our capacity to make decisions and stick with them. Many of the races we entered last year were hampered by suddenly making last-hour decisions instead of doing things as planned. It either involved a driver having to leave all of a sudden, dumping a setup which was being worked on for a week on raceday, among other rushed decisions.
   
5. Honing our racing and setup-building experience. We have been helped a lot by other racers when they sent us a setup to practice with, and that's what saves us for races, as we don't have enough experience to develop a good setup. And many team members have their own cars of choice when it comes to racing, which is bad, because there is very little experience and knowledge on the cars what they don't drive.
   

Here's what we're going to do to reach our objectives:

1. As of now, we are going to kick drivers who have been inactive for more than 90 days, and start exercising stricter requirements for recruiting drivers. We are asking for more experienced and older drivers (age cap is 14, no more pre-teens! although we do make exceptions), who are willing to share their experience with the rest of the team and therefore help the team grow.
   
2. We are implementing a 3-warning system for team members. If any of our drivers cause problems such as raging at people (admins and fellow racers), crashing on purpose, revenge-wrecking, cheating, or making fun of serious history matters, being racist, etc. will have a warning to his name. When the driver reaches the 3rd warning, he/she is automatically KICKED out of the team.
   
3. And last but not least, there will be a plan to follow before races. It’s very simple and just includes the Title Drivers, who are available to drive on the race day and the Backup Drivers, who can fill in for a Title Driver who can’t make it to race day, so there aren’t any last-minute rushes to look for a driver because one of them just left. This plan has to be used for endurance and main league races.
   

With that said, Last Lap Motorsports wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and, if there aren't any news until then, a Happy New Year!

Quote from Seb66 :

is it bad I like the blown diffuser sound? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmGgvHflXgc

Nah. It's actually the only thing that makes me like the stupid V8 sound, anyway.

Quote from Tomhah :

anyone in gt300 who needs a driver?

we're planning to change car and I can't drive RWD's for shit, so there is a free spot for GT300 #57 (well, for next round, now that we're off the Main Event).

WKD has always been a joke as far as I'm concerned. Not allowing cruisers to have smart, childish names such as "Ben Dover" or "Mike Oxlong" is a ridiculous rule.

Quote from JO53PHS :

I decided to redo my edit and came up with this which is slightly more interesting than the first one. Kinda wish I'd moved the camera closer and the RAC slightly to the right so you got more RAC and less landscape. Meh.

Final Entry

It looks amazing, and I love the work you've done on the shading, but I'd make the sky a teeny, tiny bit lighter around the sun. Still looks flawless, though.

Quote from TypeRacing :

That stickerbomb VW isn't funny at all. It's fugly

uh...isn't that a Ford Focus? or a Fiesta?

Can someone get rid of this guy? He clearly hasn't learned anything from the problems he's caused.

Quote from rockclan :

Now THAT's what most say, and let the rest say.

However, I'm a freaking genious!

I do have a disablity and that's my extreme ADHD which, in shiy situations, can me go paranoia.

I still gotta learn however, that when I'm paranoia, that I should calm down.

Uh...it was probably that paranoia that got you closing TRR first, then opening TEU, closing it almost immediately, joining both LLM and MTDZX, and then re-opening TRR!!!
Anyway, hopefully you'll get through what the hell ever is going on with you and you'll keep TRR going, at least just for the sake of getting through the mess that's been going on since last month. Good luck, you'll really need it.

Happy birthday to TDRT! And as we say here, let there come more 5!

The moment when Maserati (or any other italian team) realised that putting one of their manequins as a replacement for their driver was a mistake.

Quote from rageshgr :

LOL, posting and taunting here that you did not get banned will make all of us ban you from our servers. You have just been banned from THE most populated/popular public server in LFS above. So even before you are globally banned, you won't have almost any server to go to. I have another theory that someone else is using his account trying to sabotage. We never know

Nope, it really is him. This isn't the first time he's been here for hacking. He hacked on LTC servers and then he came here, did a "report" against them (instead of going to the LTC website, he went and posted on the main forums) and then BEGGED not to be banned!
It's just one of those few pea-brained idiots who actually think they can break the rules in front of everyone and get away with it.

Quote from Gills4life :

Hill: What the **** is this shit!?

okay, you go ahead (since franky.s couldn't be arsed to take over). Make us laugh. Hard.

I wouldn't attract too much attention if I were you. It's what got you banned from that cruise team you were a member of, right? Anyway, it's a lose-lose situation.
You get banned = you're screwed.
You don't get banned = Everyone now knows you're a cheater and will humiliate you for being one until you've had enough = You're still screwed.

That's the lucky break of the year for me. Had a basketball match to attend to (just arrived now), so I wouldn't be able to get to the heat races.

With that said, all the best for the quickest solution to this situation, I can't wait to race!

Quote from theirishnoob :

by the time we get the scirocco, lerts will have made it back from bike-wormhole in space...


R.I.P lerts.

pff, they might as well bring in a new patch build with a crispy bike in Lerts' memory.

Quote from The Very End :

Why not?
For endurance races and such it could be interesting. 50+ car grids would be intersting.

This!!!! +1. And I also agree with J@tko, more user slots only if there are more grid slots.
