In this thread, please post all those moments when playing, watching, looking at a website e.t.c to do with LFS

Heres mine:

Quote from http://noobs.vossmedia.de :

On a page entitled 'Fastest noobs' - with each drivers PBs.

GP XFG Boosted
1:29.01

Their motto: The noobs are faster than you think.

Yes, indeed, nearly 4 secs faster than the WR - they're much faster than I thought!!!!

Slickmod ftw

Well this one time I was looking at a thread in the off topic section, iirc, it had to do with some guy making fun of a typo on another racing site. Hold on, I'll try and find a link...

beat me to it

- just wondering - how is that a typo - thats two numbers wrong, or a v.slow driver - even for a noob team

EDIT: and it is repeated further down the page: http://noobs.vossmedia.de/stats.php (if you click on Boosted)

Well 1:29 is a common n00b time in the XRT...

hmmm, typo?

GP XFG Boosted
1:29.01

Think again my friend

Yes that's what I meant. I believe it was a typo on the site, either towards the car used, or the laptime made. I'm guessing the first because 1:29 is a very common time for beginners in the XRT, not the XFG.

But Noobs Racing Team are a very good racing team and have been around for a good while now with experienced racers.

Also, Boosted said he was using slickmod

so its quite possible for him to do that sort of time in a XFG

Can slickmod actually give you that good of a laptime increase? The XFG is pretty tipy, wouldn't slicks just throw it on its roof in the corners if you pushed the limits? Plus the car wouldn't be any faster in a straight line (think of the long straight in Blackwood)

It's not a typo, afaik that's grabbed direct from LFSW.

it can if uve got a good setup.
i have even done a 1:27.xx but that was in single player.
u should give it a try, its a lot of fun to drive the road cars with slicks!
