Quote from wOoOzZy :I just had a thought. How about we make the safety car a BF1 with an intake restriction? That'd solve the problem of the safety car being too slow and a restricted BF1 with heavy TC and DF should be easy enough to handle around any track right?

or how about a FOX or FBM?

Quote from Davidos93 :Kk Dek, thanks for quick reply.

How do you work out KM's from Miles? (I've done 31k miles, and i worked it out as being around 50k km, but i'm not sure :S)

just remember 1 mile = about 1.6 km so if you have 31,000 miles you definitely have more than enough km.

Quote from robybobey :Me too, but i've heard that it's easy to downgrade back to Z...

And yes I think you do only need to provide a valid hotlap with your driver application

Well I'm all set then .

BTW Street if you need help getting the 103% benchmark just pm me and we'll go to some empty server to practice. I'll see if I can point crazy to this thread.

I'm on patch Z10 so I can't upload hotlaps, but do I only need to provide a valid hotlap with my driver application?

Quote from Davidos93 :Sunday evenings are generally Ok with me, as i can stay on til about 9:30PM GMT, but it may get tight when we switch to BST, however we could just move the races an hour back to accomodate this?

Also, the high amount of AS races looks fun, as AS5 is my home track ([TC] CityDriving Montana is based their, so i can do it quickly with a layout, and quicker without)
AS4 is a bugger though, that corkscrew is deadly if you get it wrong or go into it fractionally too fast.

Also, another TC Teammate is considering entering with me in [TC-R2] as a permanent team, with the option for one of us to stand in for Crazy or Thatguy if they're missing (i'll point him the in the direction of this thread )

Too late, been watchin this thread for awhile now

I'd love to do a round or two without TC but I don't think everyone else will be in agreement about it though .

This is a problem that i saw in patch Z7 i don't know if it would be any different in Z8 and I have no idea how to recreate this.

Happened to be watching someone elses tire temps when i saw this. The tire temps were flickering from orange back to the actual temps back and forth. If this is a known issue sorry.

Well I don't recall doing that PR event but whatever. This might be a better vid of a open wheel car on the streets(sorry it's in German)

Quote from thisnameistaken :I bought a bunch of bespoke guitar FX from builders in the USA earlier this year and was all set to order more until I saw the exchange rate. GBP is suffering worse than the dollar at the moment.

1£ = $1.5453

Am I missing something? (taxes?) If I remember right the exchange rate was near 1.8-1.9 back in the summer.

Quote from thisnameistaken :With your uncanny intuition and fiscal shrewdness, you should be working for the Bank of England.

Nobody else could've expected inflation to devalue currency but you called it.

LOL,

Well anyway hopefully with a devalued dollar other countries would be more inclined to buy "cheaper" american products(not gonna happen we all know our cars suck and we outsource EVERYTHING)

Quote from Intrepid :I still haven't found anything on a driver testing restriction which would be vital in making it an equal oppurtunity class.

Found it.....

Quote :There will be three exclusive official F2 test days before the season starts and another two during the season, as follows:
Pre season
May 5 - Snetterton
May 6 - Snetterton
May 18 - Silverstone GP
Mid season
July 7 - Brands Hatch
August (date TBC) - Donington Park
At each of these tests a maximum of 300km may be undertaken.
Testing will also be possible at MSV’s Bedford Autodrome test circuit. This will be restricted to the opportunity for 50km shakedown tests before any event and a maximum of 1000km in the 2009 season.

Formula Two to make FIA return

I was just reading up on this not too long ago

http://www.formulatwo.com/

Apparently the same guy who is running the Formula Palmer Audi series will be running this series as well and will have a similar format(driver training, equal cars, etc).

Quote :The FIA’s overall concern was that the cost of competing in motor racing at a level to progress directly to Formula 1 today is so high that it prevents many talented drivers from having the opportunity to participate. Compared to rival series, Formula Two will cost significantly less per season whilst allowing drivers to prove their skill and develop their racecraft in identical 1.8-litre Audi-powered turbocharged vehicles, designed by a six man team from Williams F1, led by Director of Engineering Patrick Head.

I can't really explain everything here so I strongly suggest you check the website out. Thoughts?

To the CTRA servers creator(s),

I have to say that I have had LFS for almost a year now and have always enjoyed the pick me up races at other servers, but what you guys have done with CTRA I am just so impressed with.

I just recently began to race on the CTRA SS servers and I think that it is great that there is a goal to reach with the license system. Although it may not be much of an accomplishment to other racers here but I just reached my National B license yesterday and it gets me fired up for some more good racing .

Although I think I may have jumbled my thoughts a bit in this post I just wanted to clearly say that I don't know how CTRA came together and what it takes to keep them running everyday, but keep doing what you guys are doing it makes LFS a better race sim. My only regret is that I waited a year to race on your servers.
