Check this out if you haven't already seen it, Real FBM racing! You see some parts of the video he is getting pretty twitchy especially close to the end.

Nice track facilities!!!!

Nice vid, cheers. Have to admit the sound in LFS is actually pretty close to the real thing, just missing some of that raw dynamic sound. Is that the sound of rev limiter at the start or is it because of wheel spin?

yeah, when i clicked the vid, that's the 1st thing i thought haha. we also have to keep in mind that the microphone cant pick up all the notes and records nasty feedback instead. I've never heard a Formula BMW upclose.

The sound is just distortion (because it is a cheap camera/mic) and is misleading.

e.g. probably some 150€ digi camera:

a bit more expensive equipment used for live tv broadcast:

btw ironic in a way, that onboard from Formula Ford, a car used for the lowest form of racing (excluding karts), is nearly more exciting to watch than F1, a car from the highest level of racing...

when u said nearly, did you mean clearly?

not ironic in any way really, that's almost always the case in motorsport. lower level - more noob action - more drama - more exciting to watch.

very nice video

I guess he means that it has a shifter, while in LFS it looks like the FBM has paddles

Well and whats this then? A steam train?

Yes, real Formula BMWs have a stick shift sequential gearbox, and not paddles (unless converted to non-Formula BMW specification).
