Flicker the brakes way before the corner to 'wake up' the drivers behind you. My personal experience has shown that this helps, but doesn't guarantee anything. There isn't much you can do about 'dive bombs'.. especially on T1. If you slow down you get run into, if you keep pace you usually run out of room and either put yourself or someone else (or both) off. Don't get too frustrated, it happens to us all, and happens quite a bit in 'real' racing as well.

I own and play RBR, but you can't get live person-to-person feedback in RBR like you can in LFS.

Good, maybe we'll see him land a Champ Car ride soon?

I'm really not surprised or interested either way, I wasn't expecting Scott to last much longer (for a variety of already noted reasons). STR really needs to call up Bourdais, that man deserves a shot.

Quote from MAGGOT :The Zanardi isn't really plausible now, though, since the inside of the corckscrew is all sand.



Just air it out and pray you come out the other side wheels-up then.

Demo user! (KIDDING!)

Seriously though, this could be accomplished by having a real person spec you and comment on your driving... so I don't know if it would be really necessary/useful.

Laguna Seca (Mazda Raceway... or whatever its named now. It'll always be Laguna to me!)

A pointless discussion really, but I'd shell out some more cash for the opportunity to pull a Zanardi pass on the corkscrew.

I think he's referring to the fact that most of Champ Car's domestic courses are street/temporary road courses. South City is close enough in my opinion, and those circuits are usually pretty boring/accident prone anyways.

Why should I get a DNF if I'm still on-track and didn't vote for a restart?

It's not like you're running a league race. It's merely a 'pickup' race as you mentioned, thus it really shouldn't be that big of a deal. The reset feature is nice for people who take casual races... casually. Plus, I find the standing start one of the most exciting parts of any race anyways, so I usually don't mind a few restarts to get it right. The only thing that I'd support is preventing a restart after X laps have been completed. That'll stop people from just randomly jumping into the middle of a half-completed race and provoking a restart.

I concur with the above stuff... it's mainly the wheel feedback and realistic responses that make Live for Speed believable. I've gotten to the point now where I can actually FEEL my brakes locking up, or my car understeering. With most games you need a visual clue.

There is probably something similar floating around, but I just got finished with this so I thought I'd share. Enjoy!

It has what I like to call 'soft' corners, meaning the inside of the corner is made of tires with a chalk line for better visibility and 'curb' effect. It works pretty well, and great for those who like to hug the inside and get ticked off when they snag a slightly askew barrier.

I'll never understand why people worry about Live for Speed's asthetic appeal. To me, it seems like people either don't understand what Live for Speed is trying to accomplish, or don't realize just how much (unnecessary) work re-modeling the cars every year or two would be.
