Malarkey

I was there! I finished 5th!

We're on by the way!

After a long winter break, LFS's biggest FO8 series, LFSCART, returns to your screens from Kyoto National. With a very different grid of drivers for this years championship, as well as a different look to the series, thrills, spills and some more terrific racing is in store!

So join the two Chris's, Chris Wilkinson and Chris Ford, as they talk you through all the action, flag to flag, on MultiBC Stream III from 5:55pm UTC (6:55pm BST).

I'm hungry, goddamnit.

I am too.

Quote from PMD9409 :

I could order a different topping each time, but I'd still get bored of "pizza".

Yeah but for me now, it's more like "I'm sick of eating pasta, I'm going to try some pizza for a change" with LFS being by pasta, and I'm quite sure that iRacing is exactly that for most LFSers.

Quote from PMD9409 :

Heh, don't feel too bad, they don't even have the official 250 results out yet...

You wouldn't be complaining if you were the one sifting through about 20,000,000 cautions.

2010 Season 2 Schedule posted:

http://members.iracing.com/ifo ... readID=80279&tstart=0

I hate complaining, but seriously, absolutely no changes to the oval schedule and 1-2 changes on most of the road ones? That's the best you could do iRacing? It honestly seems to me like they forgot and just "oh well we'll just give them the exact same schedule again". LFS leagues came up with better schedules from season to season with a smaller amount of tracks to choose from than iRacing has, its a joke if you ask me.

What? Multi-class racing for the first time in iRacing and a new series? I'm sorry, but I personally can't complain about that...

I've managed to buy myself a Fanatec wheel, and then forgot it'll take an age to ship because of all of this malarkie.

:doh:

Quote from Bmxtwins :

Cwap, we scwewed

You were screwed before.

Good luck chaps! Hope to see y'all on track real soon!

Quote from TiJay :

Is that image from the Daily Mail? Surprised there's not a footnote blaming Teh Foreigns.

The forum has already blamed: Global Warming, Thatcher, Slow Development of LFS, Immigrants, Grey Squirrels, Obama and the Unions.

Any more for the list?

Quote from Intrepid :

I blame global warming

I blame Thatcher.

Quote from bbman :

Well, there we have it: http://members.iracing.com/ifo ... readID=79637&tstart=0

Updating infrastructure.

Little update to Zandvoort too by the looks of things.

Quote from bbman :

I don't think it would take that long... It's taking almost two hours now and the forums are also affected... This seems to be something bigger...

Well I have just got up. It'd be lovely if it was something bigger but being an LFS man I don't expect that kind of thing

Quote from tinvek :

anyone know what the "maintenance" is for today ?

It'll be a pre-cursor to the V8 + Phillip Island or a server update for the 499 I'd expect, although don't take my word for it!

Quote from iFastLT :

What's so special about that? In Lithuania you can get 80mb/s for about 12 british pounds and 200mb/s for 25

You still manage to cause an unbelievable amount of iTCC lag crashes with your epic interwebz... :doh:

Quote from lukelfs :

I don't own a Gameracer or Fanatec wheel, but they sell this Fanatec Shifter mount, which surely means that they support the wheel?

Still check with someone though

Good spot lad! I'll still wait and see 100%. I know I could probably bodge something up to get it to fit anyway, I'd just rather do it properly than have to fiddle and bodge and all that.

Hey guys!

I was pondering buying a GT3 RS and the Clubsport Pedals for myself as a nice treat. However, looking at the clubsport pedals, I have been worried if they will actually fit on the plate comfortably. Does anyone have any experience with the two together?

Just wanted to check before I blow a good bit of money on a set and finding they don't bloody fit! Hope this is in the right board section too.

Cheers!

Chris

Quote from PMD9409 :

Crap, well I never read them. I guess I should of checked first.

Glad you read every rulebook for every league you've raced in Phil!

Quote from Timdpr :

Oh you bitch...we're on the full one, ACTUALLY. And our little crappy karts have AWESOME RACING CLUTCHES FITTED ESPECIALLY. Take that.

The clutches so you don't destroy them lap one? I might come down and watch, if I do I'll see you there, I'm the fat one in the cowboy hat!

Quote from pik_d :

Isn't that just repeating what I said with more words? :P

Yes.

You know what I think? I think LFS isn't going through a particular slump, it's just cycling around. Those that have stayed with the sim since its beginnings are starting to get bored of the game, as any of us would. Then there's you guys. Guys that have been here for 2 or 3 years, and are still motivated. As the guys that have become the aliens of this world leave us, we step into their place. We become the MoE grade, and the new talents of this sim will take our place in GTAL, and soon they'll flourish and become MoE grade.

Is this not one of the best things that's happened for us lot in LFS? It's a natural cycle is it not? Sweeping out the tired and bringing in the new and motivated? In my opinion, if we improve and put ourselves in the game for a new style MoE next year, in the same format as previous, this could be the best thing that's happened to us LFSers in the time we've been playing.

Just a theory that nobody will agree with!

Quote from RiseAgainstMe! :

on the subject of spending money, I was wondering the other day what it takes to buy advertising in a high-level racing series, say BTCC. I know there are a few teams that are strapped for cash, maybe they'll slap a LFS sticker on for 5 bucks?

I had an LFS sticker on my kart, but it fell off on the way to its first race. Epic fail but it's the thought that counts!

Quote from Timdpr :

Cheers

There's a race on this Friday btw, in case you want to watch us pootle around (or decide to thrash us comprehensively).

I don't know the little rubbish track, I'd never thrash you. Might see you there though
