Oh, okay, for some reason, I thought they were driving gremlins pumping 400-500 bhp and flies across paths instead of drive over them...

2 liter restricted, rather then having powerful, antilaged turbocharged engines.

Quote from G!NhO :

why Vs. ?

Because I was watching some stuff from Sim Racing Inside, and I saw a recap of the VWTCC and I hated how BMW always dominated every time... (a TSX was close to getting a place)

But looking at iRacing reminds me of Spec Miata... LFS should include Spec Miatas to hookup with that series...

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

They just got rid of Loeb then, so now the WRC will have boring cars and no talented drivers.

I thought talent visibility and competition levels go up if they made the cars really weak and identical?

Quote from Tezuka :

If the engines are the same, what would be the big difference?

Drivers?

Quote from wien :

S2000 allows AWD for rally cars (according to Wikipedia). Still bloody depressing though.

I don't see a reason to put AWD on a weak car.

Quote from richo :

They should be RWD cars so at least there's sideways action a plenty, like the days of Datsun 1600's and 180B SSS and Escorts.


Golden days of rallying..

And let's not forget FC3S Rally Cars .

Honestly, s2000 spec is going to ruin rallying.

Ah, okay... Just curious, what is this thing with Fortec (I read it in the first few pages)? I haven't been playing LFS for a while.. (been busy with Internet Marketing)...

I just want to start playing again if there are connections to professional series racing. (I seriously need a wheel or a stable thumb...)

Quote from kristis917 :

anything , but no BMWs

Mmmmm I want to see 3 Series Vs. TSX. BMW Vs. Honda.

So...

If I constantly just go on V1 servers to practice driving in my spare time (Playing LFS) instead of screwing around in drift servers, I would have a chance at participating in some part of the V1 program?

EDIT: Btw, Sam, just curious... last night when I was in the V1 servers, I kept seeing names popping up in the corner of the screen, of people trying to connect. Most of them do connect only to be kicked a second later, what is that about?

The V1 servers are still up, and by Sam's statement, I can still make 200 laps on the V1 servers and make it count.

Hey, what's up? I decided to join when I saw this Youtube episode of Sim Racing Inside...

With an interview with Sam H.

Sounds interesting.

By the way, I am 17, is that too young? too old?

How can we left the "Real" thing?

Hey.... that would handle like what I suggest with the armored cars...

But imagine the understeering and the yawing and the car rolling that would happen if they put that in... xD

And imagine all the "Indiana Jones style" videos that would appear on Youtube, with a XFG trying to run away from a truck rolling full speed down the straight sideways.

If it is the end of that long straight, then I just try to stay as close to the left as possible and then brake and heel toe down to third, then I go off from 4k to redline and then shift back to 4th.

My apex for that end up being very deep past the exit of the corner. I never actually need to step on the curb while under lateral G. So it doesn't matter if there is grip there or not.

Quote from lizardfolk :

I dont think it's that easy. Especially since it's SCCA. I mean from what it sounds like there's a grid limit? Also wouldn't you need an SCCA license?

I may be wrong but Spec E30 and Spec Miata sounds a heck of a lot cheaper and easier to get into

(i want to race professionally as well I so I'm carefully watching this thread).
Dont get me wrong, racing that new TDi really does sound sweet, but I dont think it's easier to get into than Spec E30 and Spec Miata (i could be wrong if you prove your point with sources)

I am hoping to get called in for an interview and recruited to participate in the qualifying rounds, I am hoping to be able to prove it that way. And... it would be tight to just have a packed bag at school to tell people that you are going away for a "prelim round this weekend".

Office Space

But also... Three epic films, must watch back to back to back...
-Glengerry Glen Ross
-Wall Street
-Boiler Room

AMAZING!

By the way, I recommend seeing Babylon AD, just for the action, and for Vin Diesel arriving on a screen since forever. But the plot line is really shallow and it is unsatisfying at the end.

Mmmm you see 14 year olds on the track.. for the 2008 season, It is very newb oriented. So as long as you can drive, you get into qualifying then you start to go up against the best of the nation.

Quote from tristancliffe :

He's not talking about the apex kerb, but the entry kerb.

I avoid the entry curb at all cost

(we are talking about hairpins right?)

(AKA: turns that are more then 90 degrees)

The best form of professional racing on the cheap... Go VW Jetta TDi 2009 Season YO!!

Mmmm... Try to apex as late as possible, dig deep into the corner... so that when you hit the apex, you aren't on the curb.

Do you still need Chinese traditional and Taiwanese?

I can also do some Joke Languages such as South Eastern American and also Gangsta

I wish the tire stacks would stay long enough on the tracks to seriously hurt someone...

"snapped" looks like a dodge charger... just IMO

what about those armoured cars from Death race?

It actually kind of sucks that Cannabis is so violently criminalized.. I saw "Chasing the Dragon" and I saw that people were arrested for minor amounts of Cannabis, I saw that and was kinda laughing, over how petty the cops had to be.

You should get the iPod Dyno. I am surprised that no one mentioned it.

YAY! I just got my first check since I started internet marketing!!! 980 dollars YEAH!!!!

Austin Mini?
