It sure does work..... 
Looking at your post count - you do not bother with posting in this forum this forum much either - and I thought I did not post a lot.
Is that because you just prefer to chill and do not like the competitive element of racing?
What would you need/LFS need to get you racing again?
Might as well throw in my 2 cents, seeings as I am an old timer..... and all the old timers seem to be coming out.
I dont care much for the insim servers, Horses for courses, I do how ever miss the pickup races.
The arcade element and the desire to be winning points in every race, does not turn me on. I used to spend hours, into the early mornings, whole weekends, doin 5 lap pickup races.
Glad you mentioned the CRC Fordy,, its been a long time gone, and evolved a lot over time. However, the whole point of the CRC was lost, amongst rival teams and hot headed attitiudes. Egos got the better of it, and for one it kept we away from my wheel for a duration.
Regardless, as time moves on and so has LFS, it evolves with time, it grows, changes. THe big unanswered question is, whats next? We only know at some point were gettin the Scirroco, but nothing else else apart from the subtle hint. Anyway back on topic, there is a place for the insims and I am not quite sure Where Becky is going with her latest creation, but it sounds quite...... intersting, but pretty samey... impo.
Either way - good to see you about again..

I understand what you want to do, your video was very informative. I am not what I would call a virtual motorsports spectator. I can sit and watch my team mates racing a couple of laps - but thats about it.
I am an avid fan of motorpsort tho, and If I had a particular person or 2 - who I was interested in watching - then yes - I would.
I normally fall asleep for the GP... watch the start and finish - but I think that an LFS race day would be a good idea and may hold my interest.
I only say "May" as I am not sure.
Good luck with the Project

Excellent Stats bud. Thank you,
Crackin race that fellas.
Qualifying - not a pb for me but very close - the first 10 cars within a second......
Looked real close at the front with the pitstops being done in the last 2 laps. few guys suffered with engine damage, like I did, over braking at the end of the long straight. it was in most respects a really clean race, except for Franky and his uber close slip streaming.
Shame we lost a few guys through the rave, I was having a good Battle with Hughes. We were side by side when he timed out. Bad luck bud.
Eddie seemed to be improving lap on lap, till he rolled it, Shame mate.
I tried to hang on with the faster guys and managed it till about lap 20. Franky came storming through, and although he hung around the pack a while, it wasnt long before he was heading towards the front.
I struggled after lap 43 as I was out of Dr Pepper..... should have considered that I would need 2 cans to complete the race, but hey ho. A personal victory for me.
Good race fellas see ya at the next one

You would probably gain more from trail braking in to corner rather than heal toes.
Check you current lap times against the current World record and look where you are slower.
In the xfg you can flat shift without issue over a few laps, and heal,toeing wont give you the 0.6/0.8 second improvement you need.

I am rallying at Chatsworth on the weekend of the 7th - The following weekend is better for me
And for some a sex change would be required....
All being said - Im in.....

Personally, I think the Devs are working hard, on something, at least, I cant be specific because I am just guessing.... but definatly working towards a possible final version of S2, whether that be a beta stage or even a total rework of the sim itself.
This is not a critisism, and like the OP, this is just my opinion, occasionally the devs have something up there sleeve, and they have never failed to dissapoint. Many times over the years, and I have been with LFS from the start, suprises have come, in the forms of sublte changes, to massive unexpected updates. They may even be distracted from the development of the game, for commercial progress, using the platform as it stands.
I just hope they are actually working on it, and not completly pished off by those who demand, cry, winge, bitch about updates not coming out.

For me pitspotter was good for oval racing - brings an added sense of reality to the race.
For normal circuit racing tho I think its a bit lame.

I had an awesome race until Lap 49...... well - lap 20 wasnt so good either.
Started from 5th on the grid with a PB for for my qualifying lap, and by the last corner of the 1st lap I was in 4th, and came through the chicane in hot pursuit of the leaders who for some reason, had got a bit tangled. Coming into the first corner of lap 2 - I outfoxed my 2 team mates and got into first, purely because of my positioning for the corner. I held the lead pretty well, pulling out a 12 sec lead at one point, but I am a seriously hard user of the front tyres. As my right front started to heat - I lost my lead and Gag and Franky pulled up to my bumper.
Planning a 2 stop stratergy, I pulled into the pits to take on fuel and change tyres, at least one - but non changed. My test laps told me that I would blow the right front by lap 24/lap 25, so had to pit again to force the tyre change - I held on till Lap 40.
After pitting I was in 5th, and pushed on for 4 laps, knowing 4th place had not pitted, but after his pitstop, he started to pull away - so I settled for 5th. Cruising the last 15 laps should have been a sinch, but on lap 49, I caught a kerb in the chicane and rolled it.
Now worries - there were a few racers left, and I am sure the fella in last place, who had been lapped, would have flipped me back over...... but alas.... they just drove round and beeped at me every time...... No amount of begging (or swearing) convinced them I was worth turning.
It was a seriously good race while it lasted.... shame about the pits. I would like to be able to force at least a single tyre change..... I would have been hot on the heels of them leaders if that was the case.
Great fun - bring on the next.

And this should be a thread to slag off Intel or AMD????? - help the lad out for goodness sake....
And stop talking Sh1t... lmao - 6 months...... For an amd chip to not run the next gen software....... now I know your full of cack. For the most, you talk as though your sat with your "shilalie" in one ahand and your quad core in the other, braging on about which one is biggest....
I sit on the sidelines and read most of this crap..... with out the need to respond, but come on.... it seems for what you know about this stuff..... your opininated, ill informed and place yourselves on pedestals, that you dont warrant.
Its about time you stopped offering advice (that is actually worthless) and got on with playing the game or games.....
I am sure you do it for attention. or flame bating.....
Come on - pull your head out of your back sides and go get a rub down.

Welcome and enjoy.....

Nice one - good save

It would be alright if your link worked CSU lol
lolCracking race fellas - Started last on the grid, and having wheel issues. I can normally hit mid 48's in qualy, but 0.6 split the grid from 1st to 10th.... real tight.
Finished a respectable 5th after al the fall out. Franky seemed to think he had the run on me but.... hey..... too slow FB.
Regardless - my 2nd finish of a 60 lap race.
bring on the next one....

With out wanting to sound condesending or rude, you have got to learn race craft...
The question of how to get past is either to,
Get on the gas earlier,(out of the corner)
Get on the brakes later, (into the corner)
Get the track position to put your self in an overtaking position.
Apply pressure to force the other fella into a mistake.
You also have to choose the right moment - make the other guy think.
If your opponent is running a blocking line - as in oval racing, by staying on the white line, and theres no way you can get the inside line, then your out of luck.
You need to do the following.
i)Take an earlier pit stop, and be faster after the pits.
ii) beat him in qualifying so you get higher up the grid and dont need to pass him on the track,
If all else fails you have 2 other choices....
1) the pit manouver.
2) Give up son, you aint cut out for racing.

Voted for KY - but I notice there is no option for reverse.
I do prefer the Rev National circuit - it flows a lot better than the normal way but I notice there isnt an option for reverse???
When you say top 2 to go through for a vote - do you mean the choice of the 2 tracks that top the pole? ie South City chican and soutch city long? or is it the top 2 say Aston and South city - if they were to be the top 2 venues?
Bring on the 60 lap GP's - for all the events I have wanted to go in - I have only driven in 2 events and not finished either.... can you believe that????? (dont answer that.....)
