Quote from NotAnIllusion :

The boxy quattro looks are classic for me. If they ever get changed to 'modern', curvy and smoothed ones..

totally agree..... exterior the same and loads of tweaks like ceramic brakes etc

I'd love to see this brought back with a modern twist!

great job so far and loads of effort put in

Quote from trebor901 :

Hey Luke.....

glad you found your way here

good luck with the sale..... does look a wicked cockpit....

Quote from SamH :

I lost count of the number of times I went to the York Railway Museum. A lot, shall we say Though I haven't been for about 30 years, now. There's no live steam (or there wasn't last time I was there.. dunno if it's changed) and the engines were scrubbed up and clean.

I'm a live steam fan, so while it's great to see the engines up close, it doesn't get my heart beating like it does when they're pounding past me, feet away

yeah, I hear ya... there's a steam engine place not far from me in Ripley, Derbyshire. The sound of the whistle gives me goose bumps!

I was looking yesterday at the York Railway Museum website. I haven't been there for a long time. Ever been there Mr H?

thanks Stu...

Update: I tried it and my time was slightly slower than with the set I use so I have to concede it's nothing to do with the setup at all but my skill.....

However, this combo is sensational

Quote from racer hero :

Yeh, I'm losing some time somewhere, but I can't figure it out. What set are you running?

Moose runs the default basic so he can us mere mortals a chance

Quote from Crommi :

That's not entirely true, there seems to be small changes in season schedules. For an example Skip Barber race series seems to now run twice on Sebring while LRP Chicane configuration has been dropped from schedule. Also Mazda serie will be visiting Road Atlanta next week, I'm pretty sure that's a new track since I haven't had to buy it before.

exactly

Quote from Doorman :

And therein lies the basic problem. If you want to race the Solstice, Skippy or Spec Racer out of choice you'll never get to drive anywhere else except...stock tracks.
It's not as if various GP track owners around the world don't cater to club racers and lower formulae IRL®

You're absolutely right. However, this is going to change with the introduction of the leagues area that is due soon. If you subscribed a few months ago to be notified and wanted to be included in as a possible private league owner/admin then you can setup a Solstice or Spec Racer League that does the tracks you want Though the skippy does change the custom tracks each series. YOu'll know that Sebring is new to this season's skippy racing for instance.

Quote from Doorman :

Not sure we need MORE CONTENT. It would be nice if we lesser mortals got to use some of the content already there. For example: Barber,(3 layouts) Silverstone,(5 layouts!) Road Atlanta,(3 layouts) Daytona, Road America(2 layouts) and Watkins Glen.(4 layouts) I've not seen these used in Skip Barber or anything else except hotshot series. Guess I'll just have to become a hotshot. They really ought to show a little imagination as far as track selection is concerned.
A never ending succession of Lime Rock, Summit Vaginia and Laguna Seca is getting a little tedious.
IMO.

It's a deliberate choice to retain the stock tracks that come with the rookie package. As the Skippy is the next car up the line in the Road series, they keep the stock tracks to ensure moving up to the skippy doesn't mean forking out for 6 - 8 new tracks too. That's the reason why you'll see the basic tracks in there

Quote from The Moose :

Exactly. My first 10-15 races were pretty easy and i generally drove away from the field. Once you build a decent irating it all gets a lot more competitive as you get grouped with drivers of the same ability. The action really starts to hot up I'm really enjoying the races now they are a lot tougher.

yeah, I bet you're one of those 1.39 freaks on VIR North

Quote from atledreier :

Ok, so here's probably where the mindset of many LFS'ers differ from iRacers. See, I'd rather be in a hard battle for 7th place for 22 laps than lap all but two and win by a mile.

but I'd rather be able to take part in a complete race (more races than not) than be taken out on T1 my muppets....... which happens a lot more in LFS than in iRacing...

too many T1 collisions in LFS. Of course they happen in iRacing too but certainly less.

Quote from lizardfolk :

This might take some work on the admin part but I suggest giving the drivers some kind of PM or email about the upcoming events

We'll be sending out a PM to all drivers through the LOTA site tomorrow.... Sorry for all the issues and confusions with dates. All will be made very clear tomorrow (I hope ).

Quote from Gnomie :

The number of subscribers is increasing steadily, though. So from a business point of view, it seems their strategy is working pretty well. But yeah, I think they'd do themselves a disfavour if they ignore the most blatant problems for much longer.

i think they are doing a good job to keep updates coming as fast as they are..... if you think where they were a year ago, its excellent the difference now. However, I do think some more big changes should come soon rather than MORE content.....

£100.

Quote from Crommi :

That's what the licence system is here for, it automatically weeds out drivers who are not able to drive safely and prevents them from getting into higher series. There's no resets either, which means crashing out will completely destroy your SR since you won't be able to reset and then cruise around trying to get laps in for lowering "corners per incident" ratio for that race.

Reckless driving and/or dangerous driving can also be protested and I'd highly encourage you to do so.

Just checked out your last MAZDA race. That's a really strong field you had there with many of the top people in it

Firstly, congratulations to all drivers that turned up to the first race of the season.

Apologies for the issues at the start and the length of time taken for the qualify. We will have this sorted by next week.

After the start of the race, we had a lot of lag, causing crashes right at the start and during the first 15 laps. As a result of this the XSCC admins on duty made the decision to ask the drivers if they wanted to continue or stop this race . The majority voted to stop the race.

This first race will now be treated as a test race for everyone, admins included. The first race of the season will now take place as follows on KY1:

06/28/2009 - RACE One - KY1

If you have not signed up for this round and want to, then please visit the LOTA site and change your availablitity.

We will be changing all the dates so the last race will take place a week later too.

Sorry for all these problems but in the name of fairness and fun racing LAG won the day and the decision has been made. Apologies to those that took part and were unable to complete the race.

Let's get this going...... are you radical enough?

Quote from PMD9409 :

Hit a low 2:00 last race, was going all out sliding around the tree and clipped it with my RF. Didn't do any real damage but I lost time.

Heh, need to take the Stock Car Cup to iRacing and do Latemodels on half oval, half road. Need leagues!

I'm on the list for leagues - let's see what happens

Quote from PMD9409 :

One of my new favorite combos!

PB was like a 2:00.7, and it felt so rewarding!

low 2.02's for me and I felt rewarded at that...... man, it's a handful but going sideways around the tree is a wicked feeling

If anyone has VIR and also the Late Model, get in to the 24 Heures du fun today. It's sensational!

For the best setup as a base, go to general discussion and look for the late model 24hdf thread and you'll find a set called ROAD COURSE.sto

brilliant!

Quote from anttt69 :

do the rookie series even race on daytona?

no......

Quote from atledreier :

The new split system seems to be working great, too! Last few races have been very close and there's always a battle to be had. Much less spread out field and you still have a shot for some points even if you're back a bit. I even got my first win last night, after a GREAT battle. About 8 or 9 laps of proper RACING at Laguna Seca, and none of os made any mistakes. Was SO satisfying outbraking him into T11, then getting the white flag and knowing I had an advantage. I knew after so many laps where his strengts and weaknesses were and knew where I had to be careful and where I could pull away. Won by 2,3 seconds. I was pumped for hours after the race!

I'm just pleased to keep it on the track at Laguna in the Spec Racer. I'm looking forward to the skippy there though. That'll be fun. It's hard work keeping everything together for the whole race and as you said, getting a win from a huge effort like that is very rewarding
