If you like stability the RB4 is the way to go. You can get the RB to handle close to a RWD car but never exact. You will always have the issue of being slower down the straits though no matter what.

Nope, he's right... It's a TRUNK! =)

Haha spend enough time talking to me maybe you will stay up with me when the green flag drops =) Henri and Hannu and too fast for me! =)

Quote from spyshagg :

25 tomorrow. I entered stcc in january...

... but i'm not in the best shape to be in a league of this caliber, because of full time work during the week and a back problem that keeps me from being sit more than 2 hours.
So, as soon as i spot a fast xrt driver trying to qualify for stcc, i might give up my place for him if becky allows. We'll see.

It would be a shame to see you leave Spyshagg Sorry to hear about your back surgury too =(

Wish you could do it that way Spyshagg but your spot would become available to the winners of the qualifying event that would be held for the postions that are open.

Quote from joshdifabio :

Um, what do you think?

Hehe thanks for the little wording pointout Josh =)

Next time Jak read it 3 times before posting, 2 times just isn't quitecutting it today =)

In Sam's case I think the age ticker has gone up, down, and back up again =)


24 here

If anyone is interested I would be willing to help them build a driver profile database for people to look at, this could include interviews for each race, personal info ect. I would do it but it should really be run by someone dedicated to STCC who isn't participating to keep things on an even field ( no driver bias with interviews ect)

If brought up with Becky properly I wouldn't see a reason why this couldn't happen. Lately there have been alot more questions about this kind of stuff.

Quote from Dru :

excellent - i might have to get online asap and recreate many of my favourite 'Chris Raemisch' STCC moments - much prefer the idea of a 4WD RB4 than a RWD car.

Hehe I am sure there will be more to come =)


With a silver license you have access to the RB4 and XRT with the gold drivers gaining access to the faster FXO.

Quote from Jakg :

you were banned for your bad driving, i told you this, and explained how i had NO part it in it and how i was just the messenger.

Your reply? entitled "Your a twat" it read "your an idiot mate. i remember you now. You need to get a life."

Jak, use your ignore button instead of instigating more flamming by your comments....

Quote from Bean0 :

That was a long time ago (in a galaxy far, far away)

There's the "Silver and Up" LRF server now for the RWD fanatics

Edit: Beaten by Viper...nothing new here then.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Funny, I stopped racing on their servers when I got to Silver/Gold and found I had to get 10,000xp and gold and other assorted magical items before the server would let me drive the XRT. I suppose they must've changed the rules since then.

Yes The change from the silver license being able to drive the FXO to the XRT/RB4 was done awhile ago, I think over a month ago, cannot remember 100%

I guess the only option for you then Dru is to get onto some non STCC servers and practice your booty off =)

Quote from jayhawk :

Well! I stand corrected.

Thats the Spirit =)

Take it as a learning experience =)

Nobody expects everyone to know everything, and people learn the "wrong" facts. Thankfully you were nice enough to realize that instead of resorting to flamming which many people tend to do when someone says they are wrong =)

I am so proud of you


ok back to seriousness, Mrodgers is right =)

Been snowing the last couple days here in the UK, still nothing on the ground though.

Quote from Dru :

cool thanks for the clarification - best make sure that when i actually get around to driving on the silver/gold server that i get some praccy in, cuase that place could be called 'Area 51' with the amount of Aliens that have the potentail to go on there and i'd hate to be kicked cause of a few errors whilst learning a new car/track combo...

LOL I think your right =)

I condsider myself as a good driver and when I hop onto the Silver/gold servers I find myself routinely midfield =)

Quote from Dru :

When is Round 7 coming out?

This would be something to ask Becky, but from my drivers perspective there have not been any dates as of yet for the Round 7 release, sorry. Becky is working her hardest and it will be out ASAP, there are more projects than just STCC thats being worked on and it's taking up virtually all of her time =)

It should be yet another great race though =)

Quote from Bean0 :

I don't get any in the LX4

=) You don't need any more =)

Quote from Dru :

Question to STCC people in the know...

can this be overcome by pitting before the end if you've had a particulalry bad race (and there is an alien out in front) to ensure you can stick around for the next race??

An example would be, a first lap crash you try to drive it round and make a second lap, but that lap it's too bad, so you then go into pits lap 3/4. as you've done this you get lapped. therefore you have had only 4 laps, none of them clean or quick times and you have the 'potential' to be kicked off the server for being too slow?

I have no idea honestly, worth a shot if you think you will get kicked. Not sure what the ban time is for this, I want to say 10 days, but Becky will know for sure.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Owned.

Cmon guys, this will turn into another flame war, just ignore him, much more efficient. (Him being the first rude comment on the thread...)

IMO it's perfectly valid to have platnium only racers running LX6. Chances are these people are very quick in the LX4 and normal drivers wouldn't have a chance anyways.

Even if you do know the LX4 well there are still many things that every driver could learn from using the LX4 more until they have platinum. Besides the racing is closer giving better opportunities for people to practice their racecraft.

Get everyone in an LX6 it would more closer to that of hotlapping with the exception of some people who are mainly platinum drivers by now anyways. Not everyone, but alot of them =)

Also you make more points in the LX4 than the LX6 so with everyone running LX4 you make more points per race anyways.

The best way to get rid of people making immature comments is to ignore them =)

JamesK,

I checked your finish time to the person who finished. You simply just didn't finish the race soon enough and the server outo kicked you for not being within 120% of the leader for the duration of the race or your PB was 125% slower than the leader.

Don't quote me on those numbers they are not accurate, but it shows basically what happened.

Normally for people this isn't a problem but the guy who finished 1st runs some pretty good times and you just had a bad race, I see the race before you were a good 5 seconds quicker on your PB, if you would have ran that time again you would have been fine.

Quote from Becky Rose :

[/color][/color]
It is known to us that watching STCC movies instantly degrades the viewers frontal lobe and make them less empathic, more agressive, and reverts them to an earlier mental state. We have been covering this up for a while now, actually.

I think perhaps you mean "the immaturity of some people on internet forums is overwhelming".

I think you should broaden that even more by saying in general there are many immature people out in the world, I would say today but I think its more along the lines of always has been.

As a whole it's good but there are always a few who like to spoil it for everyone in one shape or form.

Hehe that was the idea behind the 24 hour ban I think =)

STCC from what I am gathering from it is trying to produce something thats as close to real life racing as you can get within LFS. The best way to do this atm is to prevent people from using driver aids.

BTW you don't have to heal-toe, just give a good blip of the throttle on downshift and the gear should slide in. Could do this for upshift aswell but it will take you some time for the gearing to mesh. This is how I drove semi in the states. Once I got rolling in 1st I didn't touch the clutch again until I was almost stopped at the stop sign or light =) talk about a workout, espcially when I romped through low range without skipping a shift =)

Quote from SpikeyMarcoD :

Becky must be really glad she asked

Bah she can hack it =)

Quote from SamH :

I guess the first lesson Zachary learned, and it will carry across ALL public servers, and not just the STCC.. don't even THINK about EATING while driving wheel-to-wheel with other people. Driving S2 is a different level of responsibility, and risking other drivers' races by eating while driving on LFS will win you no friends.

Hehe well that is a way to put it =) Right though shouldn't really be eating and driving, just sit out a race or two.

My someone ate too many wheaties this morning.

@Col I think your right, I see it all the time on the TV. Someone pushes clothing on the TV marketwise (like showing a commercial a bazillion time in one night) and mysterously the next week or two you will see everyone and their mom walking around with the same pair of jeans or shirt.

Nobody really thinks 100% for themselves and because of that you have marketing and sales pitches =)

The 3 bedroom nextdoor to me just went for 325,000 pounds. My Wife and I will be lucky to find a 2 bedroom house for less than 180,000....

Quote from -DrftMstr- :

I gave up fighting for turn 1 lol. Let the mayhem happen ans zip through clean. Consistency at the end will make u gain a spot or two if you're not the hotshot pole position regular.

Thats how I always used to do it too, infact I still do if I am in the rear of the pack. You will have at least a few laps to pick them off afterwards =)
