Can you repeat that for yeager? He has a life, so can't watch all posts.

Looking at your join date and post count, we all know who is struggling for a life. Your rudeness is typical of the childish attitude on this forum... time for an addition to my ignore list.

Quote from Bose321 :

Pretty much, yes.

Get over yourself, if many people are asking the question, it's because the answer isn't that clear. Threads can quickly become long and it is easy to miss responses. You may have no life and therefore time to trawl every post, most of us do not.

Quote from LFSn00b :

no, its because that image is real.

Nope, that image is not real. Its way too clean...

New car? Would love a Le Mans racer...

Quote from DevilDare :

For gods sake.... They said it will have every configuration except for the Rally stages...

Learn to read....

My sincere apologies for not being on the IRC channel at the time when... "Victor said (in IRC) "the same as Rockingham.... minus rally stage"."

I'm also sorry for being a little too excited about the new news that I didn't read the entire thread in detail... in future I will read the thread, back to front, before posting.

I will also in future employ the sort of grumpy arrogant attitude for which this forum has often sunk and results in the posts like yours. I will avoid the sort of positive attitude which resulted from this excellent news today...

sorry, sorry, back to normal everyone, start slagging each other off and finding faults with life...

Not the curbs, but I nearly left a very lasting impression on the pit wall

Scawen, if you are still following this thread, are you planning to do all the combinations of Rockingham?

Max.Min Bank Angle Turn 1 - 7 degrees
Turns 12

Oval Circuit
Length 1.47 miles Oval Circuit

If so, that rally stage would be awesome if they attached the start and finish to make a rallycross track.

Awesome... all this news is great, I can't wait to get my hands on not just the new cars and tracks, but racing with all the other great LFS people and sharing their excitement!

I've driven Rockingham a few times, I can't wait to see if I can get similar laptimes

Apple rules, I was actually sat with a VP of software development at Apple today at their HQ and he was a very nice and smart man.

Quote from Pablo Donoso :

Oddly enough, I found it googling LFS Logos, along with this one that totally baffles me why it would have an LFS tag on it.

Simple, as can clearly be seen from this image, the young lady is secretly moving the vital pieces remaining for the next release of LFS down a very, very long meandering river. Once she reaches the destination, she and the rest of her pals which make up the LFS development team, will open all the boxes, put together the VWS and hey presto, we have another fresh release of LFS to drool over and set new records.

Ahh although I certainly won't be setting any new records because i'm too old and slow.

Quote from Not Sure :

How about getting back to topic..

Indeed, I wish that one slide around a corner in a FOX didn't ruin my tyres for the next 4 laps and knock at least 3 seconds off my laptime

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

I'd guess that's due to the difference in compounds.

No guessing required, it is down to the difference in the compounds and construction of the tyre. They are VERY different. A road tyre needs to last a long time and operate under a wide variety of conditions. Race tyres last much less and have a much more specific operating bandwidth.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

I do appreciate that road tyres aren't like "slicks" but often resemble cut slicks.. eg the Pilot Sport Cups OE fitment on the M3 CSL...

Actually i've not seen a slick race tyre that is comparable in design to a road tyre. There are obvious similarities between a race wet/intermediate tyre and road tyres simply because techniques in tread pattern often migrate from race to road. However thats where the comparison stops because even though they may look similar, their construction and materials are different.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

To be fair all of those cars are fitted with high performance tyres, and in most cases what are basically cut slicks..

Nope, the compound of a slick race tyre is VERY different to the compound of a road tyre. A classic example of this is to push a coin edge into a modern "high performance" road tyre (e.g. the Falken RT615's on my Evo 8 MR) and the impression disappears quickly, do that on a slick tyre (I used to get used slicks for use on track days) and the impresson takes a long time to return. This is because the properties of the rubber in the two tyres is very different. A road tyre is expected to do thousands of miles before it's changed, a slick doesn't have anywhere near that life.

Quote from PAracer :

You do tow that beauty with another Nissan coupe, right?

Actually most of the Nissan's at the time were modified 200SX's, so it was a bit tough finding someone who had a tow bar on a 200! The first few times it got towed we used a Citroen BX. Man we got some funny looks on the roads Was fun towing it on the camp/event sites with people sat in the seats and the grill actually throwing out flames.

No, that would be against forum rules and also illegal. Just expressing my interest in this subject in a humorous way.

This forum has rules?

I hope you are not asking me to scan, page by page, this book and Torrent it!

Slightly off topic, but only just. I've got this book some of you may find an interesting read.
