I am putting some news together about the event, but first the downbringer for all non austrian, suisse and german citiziens: You are not allowed to win something there. This is done by intel germany, and they want the prizes to be given to the german speaking people (which is from a business point of view quite good understandable).

Pics and news comin soon.

Quote from RIP2004 :

There is no mindtrick.

Two seperate things.

1. Even with low powered cars you will achieve a massive wheelspin in the dry if you rev to the limiter and just take the foot of the clutch. It will last not as long as in a high powered car, but it should be enough for the first few kph and meters.

2. Everyone with every kind of car (low or high power and FWD) can experience the effects in the wet. Because usually noone tries that, but in the wet it happens not only voluntarily ...
It is a bit different and stronger in rain, but you'll see effect. Same in dry but not as easy to see usually ...

well, in dry you loose grip WAY harder and regain grip WAY faster. I am not saying, actual tire-phys are right, but you base your accusations on pure speculations, you havent even tested yourself. SImple thing: Rain != Try => Not a real comparison is possible.

Quote from RIP2004 :

And it makes a difference, even in very low powered cars. Ever accelerated a FWD car in rain? See what happens if you have to much throttle ... you will move hardly ...

Hmmm, where is the mindtrick in that thought?

Thc Kid, but

Quote from Thefly :

No question, the work of vykos for the LFS community is outstanding. But in this case, the much greater piece of work were done somewhere else. I don't want to go into details, I just give you some breadcrumbs:

ESL .. EPS ... Turtle Entertainment ... Intel ... F1 BMW Sauber ..

this leads to: http://www.intel.com/deutsch/racingtour/ and a new car for LFS.

The big thx actually really goes to intel and bmw for getting the idea to take LFS and organize the IRT with Turtle Entertainment. I was just a little wheel in the whole machine

Cheers,

Joe

My AI does Blackwood under a minute :P

Happy BirthDay, Maccie

Quote from tristancliffe :

Very very very tempting... Any one else wanna come

sry, tristan

that aint all of the planned 30 stops, as projectmanager of the tour told on giga-tv on tuesday

zoic, I follow you!

Quote from Lampost22 :

What about Leipzig, the place to be when it comes down to games and more. Just thinking about the in August upcoming Games Convention 2006.

Nothing less then the Racing Challenge powered by Fujitsu Siemens and organized by OCRANA based on the LFS-Demo was actually started there last year. So I think there is no better place to hold the Intel Racing Tour Finals right there, the centre for gaming in Europe.

You, as german, should read on www.intel.de/racingtour to see, that finals are planned in Ferbruary 2007. So there will be a stop of the IRT at Leipzig, but that's about all.

Quote from Jakg :

wonder what Biggie will do with his new car?

Well, you will have to win races for this and qualify while other cars are on the track...

some of the reasons are revealed already:

Quote from JTbo :

Hmm, now because this is intel racing tour website that has ranking lists and all, I'm wondering if there is some sort of free lite version of LFS for this "online game" thing?

I don't believe that it is just link to buy a game or so, those usually don't work that way. However no need to speculate a long time as there is date 22.04.2006

Link to Intel game site

Yesterday evening on GIGA the projectmanager announced the Intel Racing Tour. This tour will have events throughout whole germany until Feb. 07.

Main price is a BMW M6. On those events you can play the BF1 in some cockpits and qualify for the final event. The online game on the site is a flash-based game and has nothing to do with the Tour-game, which is LFS.

The projectmanager also said, that there wont be a free copy with the BF1, but it will be in the game and everyone can buy the game and practice at home.

So the bottom line: intel has a game that needs skill for their Racing Tour, and LFS has the BF1. As incognito said, that's a win/win situation.

It has Michelin tires in the CMX viewer but not the video?

OMG, world gonna colapse now!!!

Quote from SkyNet :

Well to be honest vykos, but how would we suppose to know that?

Simple: You know how exact the Devs work.

Quote from ajp71 :

It's not quite the same the cars in nK are precise copies of real cars made using real data but renamed. LFS cars are loosley based on real cars.

But this is not the point he needant have brought nK up how the **** can you accuse me of being a forum troll always bringing up nK when three Beta testers (Kid, Don + Vykos) spend all their time ripping it apart. If the LFS community can't stop ripping apart its rivals then I'm seriously going to think twice about whether I want to be part of it.

The real cars in LFS are exact counterparts of their real world brothers (RaceAbout, MRT). So if there is a BMW-Sauber in LFS, then it will be an as real as possible BMW-Sauber as the real one. Including all the needed data etc. Is that so difficult to see?

thx colcob

Quote from ajp71 :

It must be pit crews . BMW Sauber will never use LFS for a pitstop challenge where there are no visible pit men would they?

You know what, ajp? If you dont have any clue, better shut up. NO official game would post a pic with official logos and stuff from third parties on their page, with out having any kind of license or something. That's why nk has not Ford on their page, but some other logos. So now go figure.

Eat This, Sim World!

There will be mirrors for the download, as there was allways one for patch/full
And probably soon there will be a torrent or something .
Don't worry, you'll get your patch

yep, just check downloadsection on lfs.net. There are always mirrors for download.

Quote from Blackout :

I hope if using high nose, in high speed it gets lifted off the ground and the car flips around.. that will teach them

If you find that post from scawen in that 800-posts monster thread, you'll see, that undertray isnt modelled completely yet, so prolly you wont lift then and flip around. Well, dunno, if wings are enough...
