ok i thought i start a poll to see what car types overall the community like, now even if some of the types have no chance of being implemented they will be there because it is to gauge in an ideal world what people would want, so this is a discussion and opinion thread and NOT A FLAMING THREAD

thanks

radical stye car? grass track buggy? race lorries? rally raid? Neverheard. Google Image search didn't help much either. Anyway, I voted the few I would like to see the most, and I think they're all going to place high on this poll. (LMP:s, WRC:s, Group B, Older cars...)

I would most likely NOT prefer:

- Racing trucks. (edit: i really meant race lorries here, then) Of course they could be fun to try, but after all I believe that it differs so much from normal racing, that lots of us wouldn't like it at the end of the day. It would probably require a few wider tracks too. Too much potentially wasted work.

- Motorcycles. A control issue. How do you simulate weight transfer of your body? Same with Quad bikes.

-Offroad trial etc... I don't know LFS engine that well, but I believe that offroading would require much more detailed tyre physic modelling than we have now. Offroad isn't racing, and this is a racing simulator.

- Things that aren't capable of 100 km/h or 60 mph. Racing simulator.

radical style cars are if you serch google for radical you will find one, grass track buggys are buggies that race in fields on grass tracks, race lorries are like road haulage trucks but built for racing(sometimes known as race truck) but race trucks are pickups really and rally raid is like the paris dakar

edit: also thank you for a perfect opinion post more like this please

i think i spelled raid wrong

i only hit lemans, go kart, wrc car, nascar and champcar..


id like others such as dragstas etc, but they only good for straights..

I love open monsters hence my love for the LX6 in LFS.
Vid is slightly boring but it does showcase the vehicle nicely.

What about normal cars...?

they are already in game

Mixing races trucks with pickups
I'd love to get racetrucks but pickups are not really sexy and the 2 of them have pretty much nothing in common

Older rally cars, older race cars, race trucks (those 5 ton things), 4x4 mud splashing/trail/rock crawling, older street cars with some power.

But I really don't like from modern race cars or those with downforce, those are not fun...

I'd love to see the brakes failing and that heavy racing truck understeering into that Porcshe in the background.

I wonder if they would actually even fell the porsche

Surely Porsche would just change location rather harshly manner, while truck will dug itself into sand trap

i sooooo want Bus racing

WRC Cars mmm, they are best, if WRC cars should come, I could only drive rally then.

Where are bumper cars?

Is that just a general question or were you replying to someone's post ?

In the UK we call them dodgems.

But judging by this photo, you've obviously got them in Finland too (beware, scary bloke)

theres no poll for any drift cars? like d1 race class

You obviously havn't grasped that most of the people on this forum are against drifting?

Check out LFS-Torque, thats a great LFS drifting community.

other non racing hint hint

and i think drift wouldn't need special cars, with all the suspension settings and stuff you could turn any RWD or AWD like the wrc-style ones into driftcars
