Look at these old people here waving. You still need 4 more posts to reach post count of this year.

Old!?

Yeah, I'm working on it! Gonna post once a year after I reach it, so it stays in sync

Wish I had gotten my simulator yet! Would have loved to participate in this Great initiative!

We, the Norwegian Motorsport Federation, have created a competition for all Norwegians without a real race-license.
The winner gets a test in a real race-car at the Adria track in Italy.

We use Live for Speed, so all competitors are required to create an account here on Live for Speed.

The final will be head-to-head at the largest motorsport show in Norway this year, hopefully televised in Norway.

Quite cool!?

For all Norwegians who wants to join: https://bilsport.no/om-nbf/bilsport-online-racing-cup/

Wow! Didn't see this one coming. The pictures looks awesome. Having raced at the track many times myself, they look spot on!

Looking forward to upgrade to S3 and try it out.

Hi, everyone!

Does anyone have a Fanatec wheelbase v1 or v2 for sale? I need one at work, as quick as possible

Best of luck to both! You've gotten yourself a great guy in Walter

I have to resign, as I'm moving to the UK to do racing. Not taking my sim with me, I'm afraid!

Thank god for the DK2 support for LfS already! It's the only sim on the market with support for it yet. It's brilliant! stop moaning LFS has been the first to include new technology. Don't see that as a bad thing (I'm biased because I have the new tech myself though)

Forgot there was hardcore qualifying, so I only did one lap in qualifying where I finished 12th. Disappointing, but at least it'd make for an exciting race.

Two cars spun right in front of me on the opening lap, which put me out as well. I was down in 28th but quickly made some progress. It was my first proper race in the FO8, and had no idea on what strategy others were doing. I made the race-set myself (hurraay) and decided to pump it up with enough fuel to avoid refueling. I had a plan to change tires after 10 laps, as I wasnt sure they were gonna reach the whole distance.

I was lucky enough for the SC to come out when I had Isaac breathing down my neck. I was 10th on the restart, and then started working my way through the field. With 9 laps to go, I catched P3 and P4, and managed to pass both on the inside into the chicane after the back straight, being 3-wide! Goik made a mistake costing him 3 seconds, and I managed to make a move on him with only 5 laps to go, and got the car home in a steady P2, 19 seconds behind a dominating Isaac.

Was a fun race, with some great overtaking. I have to agree that the blue-flags felt non-existing, as people simply did not care, even if you tried to make an attempt to pass.

I hope to be able to give Isaac a bigger challenge at the next round - Hopefully won't screw up qualifying then! I know the rules now

So that means I could just take a trip there, be 2,5 seconds faster and get my free tickets? That sounds great, althought I guess you can't modify the setups

I did something like that once, and won an iPad haha

I am planning a comeback to LFS as well

Good to see you back here, Fredrik! Been a long time!

Quote from MoMo92i :

At the end of the day, if you look irl - even if I don't take into account F1 as cars are clearly (not that much compared to few years ago) different - if you look in gp2, gp3, 3.5, FR 2.0 you will find out that teams pretty much have their drivers approximately around the same position if they have equal skills but not same driving style.

For example if you look at DAMS team in gp2, you have Palmer slightly faster than Richelmi but if Palmer starts on pole Richelmi isn't p22. If you look at ART also in gp2 you may have big pace difference in quali between Vandoorne and Izawa (Izawa is discovering all the european tracks and "european shit italian tyres") but if you look at race pace they are similar.

Then yes drivers drives differently, but a good car remains a good one and in real life it is still the driver that have to get his driving used to the car than the other way. Generally you have one/two step wing/roll bar/pitch difference between the two cars, something like that. No GP2 driver will win a race in Lazarus, but you have chance to win one if you are at Dams, Carlin, ART, Arden,...

Quote from Fordman :

Croft has been released. I can't test it as I am working away, but home tomorrow. Video looks good.

What's your thoughts?

Fordie

That's far from the real croft, it looks horrible from the video in my opinion. The layout is far from correct.
The rFactor 2 version of Croft is much closer to reality.

Thumb down! :P

Quote from farcar :

I concur.
Hands up who likes this turning of a new leaf, with more open and frequent communications?
It feels like the next era of LFS is finally beginning, which is a good thing.

Quote from JazzOn :

Or it could put them even more off. LFS has good mouse steering, which is good enough to get the idea. Its probably safe to assume if someone doesnt understand what "racing simulation" means, he definitely doesnt knwo what a force feedback wheel is.

Well, it's the recommended system requirements and not required, so I have to agree with Gutholz

Just waiting to receive my DK2. Will rate it once I get it and it's supported

Hehe, I knew about this one Actually, my team-manager last year was the engineer here, for Fortec. You can see him in the video too! He told me about it when I mentioned LFS to him once, haha! You can imagine how surprised I was! :P
