Look right now at the whole team thing. There is nothing on it. They are there to be there to be there.
When I think about a TEAM, I think about some people who try to achieve something. Right now now it isn't the case in LFS.
You talking about all the work behind you are not going to see in a statistic. And this is right, but you see it in the moment just as little. If you would have kinda team competition, people who do all the background work, get a bit of compliment, because the drivers of the team place the whole team (also the guys who doing the other work)in the spotlight. It's the same in real live. Everybody talks about Schumacher, he is the man at Ferrari. But aren't there people who do a lot of precious work at the back without Schumacher couldn't win anything? But they get honored when Schumacher wins?!
You talking here about "the spirit of a team". What is the spirit of a team in LFS? Isn't LFS all about racing? So should not the main team spirit all about racing!? And to diyplay racing fact's aren't hard.
I don't know what the exchange of setups has to do with fair and unfair. It's like Ferrari would not use new knowledge about something for Massa and this part of the team has to work this out on their own.......
The first think would be, to put a maximum of members for a team so that you not have a team with 50 drivers and they make easily N°1. On the other hand you could just use a ratio.
Of course you will have drivers who maybe can't race for a time but you will have this at every team, so the outcome will be quite the same. An other solution would be an option to put a driver on hold. This means that he is still a member but if he does drive he will not be counted in to the statistic. And therefor you can put for a time an other driver on his spot, like in real live.
The statistic should not be just 1to1. This means when you drive a race aginst 2 others and you win, the team will get a small amount of points. When you drive a big race against 20 other racers and you win the team will get more points for it. And the number of own teammates in the same race should also change the gaining of points for the team.
When I talk about fairness of a team I mean the kick's and ban's which a team gets. The consequence should be that teams are interested how the drivers are behaving and if they not, the have to leave the team. And this should improve the whole behavior in LFS because drivers have to, otherwise they arte not in a team.
PS: thats right, wrong area. maybe a mod can replace it
I would say that you win around 1sec when you change to a wheel.
After driving at the beginning with the XR GTI some hours, I did change the car (XR GTR - OK, for that you need S2), the car physic's are totaly something else. You learn to drive an other way and to handle the car dif. Last weekend I drove a 30 Lap race on the XF GTI, during the race my time droped 2sec. because I drove the car an other way
So change from time to time the car when u stuck and after when you come back on it, you will make inprovement.
I'm missing LFSWorld a team statistic. We have a lot of teams here but they are not really saing anything.
There should be a statistic for the teams, how good it is (wins), how fair it is, and so on......
This would make it really interesting to join a team and to keep the spirit up.
I hope it will be implemented really soon

Just for the books, I wasn't that slow to be 7 laps late. My internet connection crashed down in both races :faint2:
So next time I'm going to snack the Pringel
Looking forward to the next event and I definitively low the long races
XF GTI Race
21:00 CET Quali
21:15 Race 30 Laps 2 Pit's
FXO GTR
22:00 CET Quali
22:15 Race 30 Laps 2 Pit's
Please note that we go ofer 30 laps so it does not matter if you gain in the first corner one position more or less!!!! PLEASE RACE CLEAN AND GIVE WAY TO PREVENT A CRASH!!!!!!

It's the other racers who give the points......we are all the police
just raced and again the same. I checked it closer and often is the problem that they give just a little bump to make u stumble like a certain turboed alias Mike Speed
BTW: The SHIFT+S button should be switched off. People can drive back their car or the race is over. You can see a lot you have a little crash and......back in the box.....this says a lot about them.......
Dajmin I don't agree at that, the reasons did Becky Rose write.
But I guess that every country does have in the regular street kinda system like we in Germany or France. If you drive to fast or an accident, you will get a point or more on an account.
So why not using this in LFS. If a player gets banned, he will get points (or will have less). Of course it will depend how many are on the server. If you have 2 on it and he get's banned it will mean nothing but if there are 20 other racers and he gets banned (!!10 did voted vor it) he will get much more panalty points. If he does drive better in the future, the panalty points will get less. If he reaches a certain point score, he will get a pause from the S2 servers for a time.
I don't talke about the guys who crash with full speed in to the cars. I do mean the drivers who don't care if they touch others and they take a high risk to get a better position and never let an other better placed car in a corner pass first.
During 10 races I do not have more as 1 or two races without a turner in the first corner and that sucks.
How can you preview that you lag.......so to use that to make the BS would be really hard
But u can't see it, they change the server and start it again, ig you see that guy again after some weeks you forgot cause enough other wreckers did bother you anyway
But I really would like to see something like a ranking for every driver. People are going to think twice what they are going to do because they ruin their name
When a car has a lag you can see it in the game, or not? So the program is knowing it and when then a crash happens with that car, it will not be a panalty
When I drive like 50km/h and there comes one and hits me with 150km/h.....I would say that this something obvious. I dont talk about a hit from 10km/h or 20km/h. Yesterday in a race a guy drove with much more speed in a curve combination as the other. He tried to get trough the bunch of cars in front of him. Thats a situation you have a lot and I do think it's not to hard to program. I dont talk about little crash's and stuff, I do talk about that big stuff where people try to get a position with every way.
Things like lag's are easy to sort out, so that should not be a problem.
When somebody does cause ones a crash and he will not get banned or kicked, I'm talking about driver who always in situations like this.
