Quote from SamH :I thought carefully about how to implement the wobble

Good job

Strange seeing those pages again. That was my homepage for a long time.

I hope LFS gets some serious updates that not only inspire a lot of guys to come back to it, but inspire someone to come up with some sort of CTRA replacement.

You guys did a great job with it. Thanks
In my opinion LR is the new CTRA. Sure it's has not a fancy site and such, but everything you need is to be found within the insim on the server. You can watch rank, stats and basically the same things as what CTRA did.
LOLZ,

Even my stats are still on xD
Omg, really shamefull :O

Walter Lemmens, from Netherlands, has competed in 41 races and driven 87 laps since the launch of the CTRA X-System. In this time, he has caused 200 yellow flags, which is a ratio of 100%. This is a seriously high yellow flag ratio indeed.

Walter has won 0 races and reached the podium, in second or third place, a further 0 times in 41 races, while retiring from an additional 38 races. This means Walter has completed a very worrying 7% of the races in which he's participated. During those races, Walter has achieved no fastest laps. Walter, who races for Team Rock Racing, is currently ranked 4,272nd internationally and 157th in Netherlands. He does not currently hold any lap records.

How can you get a that high yellow flag ratio?! Even I couldn´t do that.

intentional wrecking... didn't you see his stats page? he was perma-banned.

Actually, 200/81=2,47; that means he had a yellow flag ratio of 247%, but CTRA locked the ratios to 100% in the individual stats

E : Reminds me good times that

Yann has competed in 1,138 races and driven 7,049 laps on the CTRA X-System.

Wins: 153 13%
Podiums: 576 50%
Finishes: 963 84%
Fastest Laps: 69 6%
Yellows: 927 13%
Yellow Flag Ratio (Last 28 days): 5%

Yann Laprevotte, from France, has competed in 1,138 races and driven 7,049 laps since the launch of the CTRA X-System. In this time, he has caused 927 yellow flags, which is a ratio of 13%. This is nicely below the CTRA's average yellow flags ratio.

Yann has won 153 races and reached the podium, in second or third place, a further 423 times in 1,138 races, while retiring from an additional 175 races. This means Yann has completed a comfortable 84% of the races in which he's participated. During those races, Yann has achieved 69 fastest laps. Yann is currently ranked 293rd internationally and 12th in France. Yann currently holds 1 Lap Record.
I wished CTRA was back up again. I couldn´t really use it back then as I didn´t have a wheel. I only could drive around on the Bump´n´Jump server. :P
i wish CTRA would come back again, now when i finally want to start racing its gone
Quote from batteryy :i wish CTRA would come back again

I think nearly everyone wishes it would be back again. It was one of the reason i stopped racing. However knowing the logistical (for lack of a better word) nightmares of running the CTRA and the fall out afterwards, it doesn't suprise me it failed and I don't expect it back up.
People are a lot of work, and when you have to take care of xx xxx users the amount of work needed to be done is simply.. too much..
Well, if they did it as a full-time job it would be possible, but they have lifes themself to take care of. We canot expect them to be running a service 24/7

But I think it's safe to say everyone miss CTRA.

What is LR? Where is the web site?
LR racing server. Should be a topic on it on front page of General LFS Discussion part of forum
Has ranking system, and a forum where you can report people and such. Have about 10+ min races and is using most of the track combo's.

Edit : Link http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=56341
people who really want to race, have found their alternatives.
Sad to see some people are still moaning about not having CTRA around, and want to have it back. It was great, and now it's gone, get over it.
Agree with you, there are a lot of great servers out there now.
Sure, the CTRA was great and had something unique, but there are still great servers around, often crowed with people too

Sorry but how stupid is it to stop racing in LFS altogether just because CTRA died?

Very, very stupid and thought less...
@ Fuse5: I don't think anyone grudges the fact that CTRA has gone. I don't know anyone that isn't 'over it' but doesn't mean we don't want something that was brilliant back again.

@ Zeugnimod: I said something along those lines. I didn't really have time for leagues and CTRA gave me that competitive side of a league but while being pick up and play. Going back to pick up and play races kept me entertained for a while but i did get bored of it eventually. However it wasn't only this that led to me leacing lfs alone but the other reasons don't need to get mentioned.
Why so much attention for something that been dead for a while ?
After flicking thru the thread I have found the answer ...


People miss making their E-penis's ( stats ) available for all to see

And you wonder why people flame you and your team.
Quote from racer hero : And you wonder why people flame you and your team.

No i dont wonder , fyi this has nothing to do with redline . Its just me making an observation , getting a rise out of an idiot like you on a boring afternoon
#47 - th84
I don't wonder either... it's painfully obvious.


The attention is because it was the most popular server/system that LFS had to offer.

You would think that someone of your stature would be able to figure that out without making a total tool of himself.
oh come along guys ..was my joke really that offensive ? Im thinking not .

Plenty of people on here make jokes , quite a few far less funny than that one . Me thinks some people are just a teensy bit quick to flame

come on .. offering man hugs for a limited time only



I'll leave this thread so the measuring can carry on
#49 - 5haz
I made a small 'joke' about Redline some way back, and I was subject to flaming from you over PM.

Different standards apply eh?
awww. Ranked 24th in england. Not telling what my international placing was.

Plus I had a worrying amount of yellows . . . Lol, and I thought I was such a clean racer.

CTRA alive again?
