Calm down guys, Size 7 should only be used to start nuclear wars
Hmm, pretty good theme. I might try something, finally. Haven't entered these competitions for quite a long time.
I hope, I won't forget about it

Still, the MAIN theme is close racing, or are you too dumb to understand that?

Look at example #2 and #4. Show one car that is braking.
Jeez Niko, chillax. I'm pretty sure we are allowed to do lock up edits, as it says in the pics/rules. Maybe you should have kept your old name, LFSn00b. It suits you more.

Christ almighty...

the RULES clearly state, that we are to depict the action of a close race, including, as I quoted before LOCK UPS.

And, also as Furiously-Fast and Bose have said, look at the example pictures. Number 2 and 4 - Wheels locking up under hard braking.

Now, are YOU too dumb to understand THAT?

IMO, Close racing action, it defines 2 or more cars racing closely. I did not see the URLs for examples, but looking at the examples I do not consider that close racing. If there was a second car next to it, it would be better.

Now dont get your panties in a bunch - This is my POV, i will stick to it, goodbye.

Woah, hey, calm down. That's your point of view, fine I respect that, I was just expressing my side of it.
Dmt's original idea was simply 'Tyre lockups under braking'. I thought this was a bit too limited so said that we should expand it to close racing action.

Maybe I should have called it simply 'Racing Action', but whether your close racing action involves 1 car or 32 cars, it doesn't really matter.
On that note, here is my Final Entry.

95% front brake bias?
Quote from Seb66 :95% front brake bias?

Yes actually - I made the setup especially for that picture to get the weight transfer
Very nice edit.
brandon - Nice edit. I'll have to work hard on this one, or I'm not a competition here.
Haha thanks, go for it! It sucks if no one else puts effort in.
A little offtopic - can I make a thread with rankings of all competitors so far? Like Lynce did in the past. It would be interesting to see who leads it all
I don't see why not, it would be interesting to see how i'm progressing Go for it!
Or I can make a google spreadsheet and it will be published in the 1st post in every round.
Either is good You won't know how it'll go unless you try it
Right, I'm working on a spreadsheet now.
