Kids, kids, kids!!!! Stop the fighting!
You can define racing any way you want. It can be on the street with road cars, on your feet with shoes, without shoes, sandles, or whatever you wear. It can be with bicycles, or motorcycles, or frogs. The fact is, LFS is circuit racing, and you can not race on the street with normal road cars. You can only race on the track, and on the track they would require you to have a roll cage.
LFS is not being developed with drifting, cruising, illegal street racing, or anything else but proper circuit racing. That's all we have and if you would be required to have a roll cage on a circuit IRL, then we need roll cages in all cars in LFS because it is wheel to wheel circuit racing. It's the immersion factor.
If you can't use a piece of software that is being developed for a purpose that is different than you want, then go find a different software. If IRL, you had to have a giant inflatable pumpkin on the roof of your car for circuit racing, then LFS needs to have a giant inflatable pumpkin on the roof of the cars. Meaning, if it is there IRL in circuit racing, it has to be there in LFS.
And stop slagging on the cruise servers. Yes, you can go out and 'cruise' in your real car if you'd like. They attempted to create a game out of the cruise servers that they can not do IRL, at least if you don't want to get in trouble. The problem isn't the cruise server idea. The problem is the fact that they are run and admin'ed by the immature that can't create proper rules and can't even follow their own rules. It could be fun if it were all run by the mature. Many of us have done the cops and robbers thing and you guys know it was quite fun. It was fun because it was mature people doing it to have fun, not kids arguing over everything like a bunch of winy babies.
