GT3 + LRF does not sound like a great idea. The LRF class is almost faster than a GT3 on a straight line.
The sheer size and weight probably won't bother me too much. I was lucky enough to use a 24-70 2.8 a while ago and I never felt like I reached the point were I got tired to carrying it, even though I was using it for around 6 hours straight. I guess I can also thank my RS-7 strap for that.
My main concern is that it will be too narrow, cus I'm still on a DX body (D7000), so I guess the focal length be ~155mm in theory, if I'm not mistaken.
The VR is not too crucial for me either, so I will definetely look into some of the alternatives you recommended. I guess I'll have to see if I can borrow the 105/2.8 somewhere too before I decide on anything.
Wow, that was cheap. I might see if I can pick one of those up here in DK. I've been considering getting the Nikon 105/2.8 Micro too. You wouldn't happen to have any experience with that one, would you?
Did you use lens correction or anything similar on the elevators shot, Ben? Or is the lens just free of any visible distortion?
Nice shots once again.
Nice shots once again.
Bye!
Czech Reinforcements for SAVAGE SimSports
We are happy to announce the arrival of our two newest members, Jaroslav “Fast Jarda” Dohnalík and Martin “Flame CZE” Kapal. They both hail from the Czech Republic and has been racing together for several years during their stay at their former team of Angel Power Racing. With APR suffering from inactivity, both Jaroslav and Martin decided that it was time to find a new home.
Jaroslav is 18 years old and lives in the heart of the Czech Republic, Prague. Currently he is studying at a high school with economics in mind. Besides sim-racing, Jaroslav also enjoys watching all sorts of different sports. A few words from himself on joining the team:
“- I am really happy for accepting the deal. After three years in APR it’s a good change and new motivation to keep on racing.”
Martin is 19 years old and lives in a small town called Králův Dvůr, not too far from Prague. He is currently in grammar school and in his spare time he likes to design websites and skins. He also spends a lot of his time being a moderator on our beloved LFS forum. Here’s what Martin had to say after joining the team:
“- I began my true LFS career in December 2007, when I bought an S2 licence, although already being a long time demo racer. Since then, I’ve been in two Czech teams – GRAND and Angel Power Racing – and participated in quite a lot of various leagues and events. But recently I’ve been thinking about a change and trying something new and I hope that SAVAGE SimSports was a good choice!”
We are happy to have picked up our first ever Czech drivers. We would like to welcome both of you to the team and we are looking forward to spending more time with you, both on and off the track.

12 hours of SO4R with STD and TBO = 
Beautiful skins and renders, both from two of the best in the biz.
So unlucky there, mate.
Also, sorry to Tsubenko for not letting him pass properly when I ran out of fuel (
).I just signed up, so I didn't participate in the Q session either, but would like to know if I'm allowed to compete in the race anyway?
