I like all of them, RWD, FWD and AWD. Real drivers don't care imho.
RWD sucks for me right now...more FWDS!
(mouse driver :S )
nah..its fine..cant wait for this adapter thingy what i get next month, then i can use my Playstation 2 controller (RWDS will be drivable then! w00t)

I did that, but the problem is, is that with windows XP there's no fix for the deadzone problem...for my ps2 controllers....there's software for pc wheels, but not for the adapter which sucks! (unless anyone would know how to permanently fix it??)
This is a funny thread. You are a demo user, basically have 2 cars to chose
from, a FWD and a RWD. You say you want more FWD cars, ok, why not.
There's :
XF GTi
XF GTR
UF 1000
UFR
FX0
and you can setup any AWD car as FWD so
you could also try a FWD:
RB4
FXR

I count 7 in total. 4 different models Unless you are suggesting they make
both demo cars FWD ? We both know that won't happen Find someone
to buy S1 and/or S2 for you and 'pay' them back as you can. Else, you can't
always have everything for free.

AHH BUT LOOK!!!! <- IM AN S2 GUY NOW! WOOOOOOOOO. :P Shame i got to go to work though:moped:.....which sucks

Also, didnt you think i just felt left out so i decided to post a thread, whether its correct or not? :P

Ok since having S2 i've changed my mind... I now think we should have actual saloon cars! like, i would like some four door touring cars....maybe an estate for variety?? I'd love to race in a makeshift BTCC.....bet you're all going to say "nahh, loada crap, we dont want one of those, especially an estate!"....but hey
A V8 supercar wouldn't go unpraised either, but a racing estate (or station wagon as we know them here) would be awesome too, and a "little" convertible simmilar an MX-5 would be superb. And before you start reminding me I'm a demo racer, I'm going S2 in three days, and possibly getting a wheel the day after.

Almost all FWD forms of racing have been covered, maybe a big saloon as well, likewise for 4WD (although it has a lot of merits and could be a huge breakthrough if someone got it to work well). So LFS is left with countless classes of racing, nearly all of them RWD.
an idea just popped in my mind: what do you think about a car similar to fox but fwd? in real life we always see rwd formula cars, it would be interesting to see and drive a fwd version in lfs

FWD Formula?! That would suck
Quote from Blackout :FWD Formula?! That would suck

Yeah, there is a reason why racing cars (especially formulas) aren't fwd
Quote from geeman1 :Yeah, there is a reason why racing cars (especially formulas) aren't fwd

Yeah, keep n00bs off the track. Though the cars are more computer driven these days.
XF GTR and UF GTR are on the powerlimit what you can use on FWD, putting couple hundred more, well..tires would be gone fast and the car would steer left (or right?) all the time because of torgue..and you couldnt get any advantage from the extra punch because you just couldnt put it on the road, thats what I have heard
#41 - MR_B
crazy idea= 6wheeler, maybe four FWD wheels would remove some of that power problem Blackout is mentioning?
wtf...a 6 wheeler? are you high?illepall
Quote from Vendetta :wtf...a 6 wheeler? are you high?illepall

there is a reason 6 wheelers are now banned in formula one.
FWD goodness
Use the FXR with the center differential biased to the front, to the max.
Quote from sil3ntwar :there is a reason 6 wheelers are now banned in formula one.

...and what is this reason?

anyway i think 6 wheelers would be fun and very interesting to drive, anyway they represent a unique piece of history of formula one
Not just Formula One, anyone remember the Panther Six?

Quote from Honey :...and what is this reason?

6 wheels. The FIA doesn't allow cars with more than 4 wheels. The Tyrrell was very successful though.
The reasons are:

- There was no significant advantage in using 2 pairs of steering wheels
and/or 2 pairs of driven wheels.

- "FIA outlawed four wheel drive, and then later they outlawed four wheel
steering and just in case anyone still didn't get the message, they
stipulated four wheels only and then only the front two could steer."
