Actually, we are a female-only team.

Well then you misspelled your team's name

And you all think 'normal' drifting is kept to drift circuits safely out of harms way? Whatever happened to illegal racing, drifting, drag, etc...

It's very ludicrous to count this as being dangerous, and give it such a hard time... Especially to call this a 'fad'?? :rolleyes: This forum couldn't get any more conceited.

Quote from squidhead :

I make a comment and suddenly we're back on topic of the video...
Not if I can help it...

Yes, it doesnt have to do anything about the video, and as a matter of fact the video is not even worth bothering to watch...
but saying "don't see any problem with that" in a topic about killing people by driving is not the kind of comment you want to make, now if you were to put "Ok, now let's talk about the video" right before the text of your comment, I wouldn't get irritated, since I would understand what exactly you meant

Still, everyone ranting here about real saudi drifting is completely off topic, and totally ruining what is just a simple video post.

And no need to get on the ego bandwagon and start talking about "oh learn to properly drift", or "Oh the video isn't worth watching, because I call myself a pr0 drifter who makes better movies".

Personally, I like watching any video of people driving a sim with their steering wheel. Always a pleasure to watch.

Jack the Ripper also was just having fun...don't know what was everyone's beef with him...

endangering peoples lives for your own entertainment is not ok...

Has nothing to do with this video.

I am all the way over here in California, and stream works and looks fine for me

Nice racing :up:

The ending scenes are the coolest. Nice driving :up:

Amagad Hes Having Fun Lets Flame Him Lol!!!11

I agree, he's having fun, I don't see why people have to judge him as drifting. This style of drifting is way different, and lots of fun

In order to be fast and error free in LFS, you gotta use 270 degrees, paddle shifters, and 2 pedals. Simple as that.

I'd use other control types as a challenge sure... but it is just not competitive enough in LFS, and not fun at all because of that. If people using h-shifters can be competitive, then I'd be using mine more often. Until then, speed and consistency is the only way to win

(I use h-shifter in singleplayer, when I just want to dick about)

He cannot be dethroned if he's not playing, well at least thats what i think.

Yeah, biggie has retired from LFS. He probably will come back if he ever has interest in LFS again (or from a new version).

What turn is that? Adenauer Forst area?

I like BMW simply because they've been progressing to be better and better each race. I root for them to win a race, they are no doubt the 3rd best team of the 2007 season.

Since BMW Williams, they haven't been as strong when they had Ralf and Montoya then...

So they've been picking up the pieces and building a nice car and a nice team I'd say. But McLaren and Ferrari will always be faster. I hope Renault gets back into the mix in 2008, kind of stupid seeing them run so poorly this year.

Boomtown have pretty much tanked any kind of LFS affiliation afaik, but oh well, nice skin

Not sure I like the little orange lip above the windshield :-/

Batracer got a little ridiculous after a while, and still is...

We had lots of LFS community private games, but they were so boring and pointless. Batracer is a huge waste of time. Meh... stick to racing a simulation imo

Quote from SparkyDave :

I cant get my head around that Tweaker, S2 users going to demo just to crash? sounds very odd to me. I mean how can you tell they are S2 users? and what do they have to gain?

I think your wrong when you say "a lot"

SD.

Well it is true

What I cant seem to get my head around is the fact that S2 licensed drivers always believe that once someone is licensed, they never go back to demo, and use their license as a safe haven from wreckers. Totally untrue.

I've heard quite a few (ok not "a lot") people say "lets go on demo" in a S2 server or teamspeak/ventrillo server.... I join where they are playing, and they are just wrecking people for a good laugh. Other times it is wrecker vs wrecker.

Quote from Bandit77 :

replays? is this an argument? you would "record" the "world" your in. spectators would probably see the real race.

-1 to that too.

I have the utmost confidence that a suggestion like this would never appear in LFS. What you are saying is that LFS will need to handle 2 completely different instances of people racing online in one server. Also further detaching people from an online experience, and less of a realistic feel when the actual race is in progress. Quite frankly, if you are so upset about people coming on the track and getting in the way, you don't need to go and suggest that they be 'invisible' or impossible to collide with. Do we get to collect coins and power-ups too?

Watch out buddy, he dropped a banana on turn 3!

People getting in the way of your race is not that much of an issue to warrant this suggestion.

Sad thing is, a lot of S2 licensed users are going in and crashing people in Demo. I've caught a few. But there are lots that hide their name, it is all too easy

Quote from mcintyrej :

Brilliant? . Although I did have a lot of fun driving and making! I was in the green FZR, totally level with Bawbag on the line in his FO8.

Not really impressed with the video myself, but hey, short production time, so what

But Jack replied to my comment about the fast playback....

Why don't you do it like all the other real vids, where one car goes, and the camera watches -that car-, and then the next.... etc. So you get a feel of how slow/fast each car is in different sections of the track. Then show the progress of the cars behind catching up. All pretty simple.

The video on Bathurst is a perfect example. And you don't need a music track in my opinion.

Quote from Krutch :

As I said this is an old thread, so they raced their last season.

The chicane was left as it is. On friday several drivers where struggling to find a good line and one or two spinned their, but no incident happened in the race.

The best story of the weekend was the USA national anthem. Turned out that the guy who was supposed to sing the American and Dutch anthem only thought he had to sing the Dutch one. He didn't even knew the words for the American anthem. So the circuit announcer had a go at it:

Hahahaha, that is great!!!!

-1 for the suggestion entirely.

No invisible or transparent cars, invisible sessions, or anything of that nature please. Keep the track alive, and not suddenly have people off the track practicing in some invisible mode, or cars with no collision mesh. How would you have replays? LFS isn't in two worlds....

This event needs fast and consistent drivers that wont push it too hard that they mess up in the dirt or something...

Aston's track width can fit roughly 6 1/2 cars wide comfortably on the straights, maybe 7 cars. In a turn, people would probably only be comfortable with 3 wide .

Westhill's finishing straight (gets wider near the pitwall) can squeeze in about 8 1/2 car widths... so that is a lot of room. A shame Westhill looks like crap, but it could very well be suited for it. Would be cooler than watching Aston I think (Which is a boring track). The normal track width of Westhill is like 7 cars wide.

So I'd suggest Westhill then.

I need to sleep a short bit, and this starts in 5 hours or less.

Don't know if I'd make it either, lol!

Several things....

I was given the opportunity to ride a real luge frame down a very steep & curvy hill, that was pretty crazy . Also bombing down a steep slope on my snowboard is always a rush, because I'd be so close to stacking it hard at a high speed... I never carve to slow down... :o lol

But I think the biggest rush of all in terms of speed would be on a waverunner down a fast flowing river. Was taking turns on my friend's waverunner that goes 65+ mph, and when headed downstream I had a huge rush of speed to a point where turning was really hard physically, and my body took one helluva beating going over the waves. Trying to keep it going really wears me out in about 20-30 mins, but it is insane fun.

The only thing that could probably be a bigger rush would be skydiving, but I've never done that, yet. I don't have it on my to-do list though, haha

Driving a car on the limit in some mountain road is always a rush too

One more thing to mention.

I think it is best that we all have Throttle Cut on upshift enabled, so that the replay/video/movie wont sound so retarded with flatshifting. It is by far the weirdest thing to hear in a movie.

And with people from all over the world, a little bit of lag makes flatshifting sound even longer, so we might want to make sure to get rid of that.

No comment.

I think it is obvious that the above poster uses a lot of marijuana to cheer him up, hahah.
