and wot was the worst lap tim in the qualification??

Sent the password to you via private message.

Worst time is around 1:17. However, only 9 have done pre-qualification. Who knows what time you require to qualify for the race?

...
BTW is there a good way to avoid cramps over such a long distance? I'm driving with mouse

my keyboard mouse settings:
A - throttle
S - shift up
X - shift down
C - clutch
space - handbrake
Q - look left
W - look behind
E - look right
... (i think standard)
left mouse - horn
right mouse - brake
mouse4 & mouse5 - F9 & F10
wheel down - light flash
wheel up - speed limiter

so my finger on A suffer, after 25 laps or so i have to change the finger on straightaway

PS.: why this funny settings? because of earlier RBR, it don't have mouse so me & my friend managed to set throttle away from the unusable arrow keys to shift keys

My brother plays LFS (Demo, he is too mingy to buy a license. Every time we see, he begs for me to unlock his LFS. Let him suffer. ) and he uses mouse. Y-axis as steer and X-axis as throttle/brake. He is used to this method, because he plays Racer.

You can do this by using "Joystic/wheel", and set axis to throttle and brake. He opens up connection list, so he can see the cursor (He says that it helps alot when you see it, because then he knows how much throttle/brake he has, and also helps in the steering).

yeah i tried that but i didn't see the mouse so it was very hard, the connections trick is probably good, but im some kind of used to use gas and brake together, like braking while downshifting with gas, stabilizing the car with gas when i'm on brakes, when drifting, rallying :rally_dri steping on brake and gas together or left foot braking, hope that's all my crazy stuff with pedals (excluding clutch, but that is unusable on FBM :heyjoe67_)

Thanks for the replies, I'll check out your suggestions.

Good point

However, I was hoping to get some info on how not to get a cramp in the hand that operates the mouse, which would have something to do with hand position, grip type, leaning point (none, wrist, the whole forearm resting) etc so that the grip can be as relaxed as it can be. Maybe just a decent ion diet and/or quick relaxing exercises while on the long straight (and if so, what exercises)? Or maybe a 'Heal hand injuries' pit option?

Also remember to use R1's or your qualy set in qualy and race with your race setup what lasts long.

Thanks for pointing that out. Once more a tiny typo.
I typo that alot. It is because Blackwood is BL.

will be there any official practicing of start and first lap? like 10 times again and again? because lot of people just crash in the first corner after start trying to get better possition or get someone out of the race

i think it could be good for someone to practice that, make random position every start

Good idea. We shall practice that after the pre-qualifications!

What would you do if you win a S2-license: make a burnout in my ford sierra in front of the police station

Welcome aboard. Glad more scandinavians joins the competition.

If you win, make sure you record the burnout and put it into youtube.

I will send the server password to you via private message.

I checked my dedicated server computer to check if anyone is online. Nope, not currently. However, found something interesting in the "backbuffer", and then I opened deb.log and started to read what that was all about.

I am not happy that some of the competitors are using cracked LFS. And I bet developers aren't happy about that either.

To those who feels something heavy in their conscience:
No, I am not kicking you out from this competition, but I am little bit (Read: Much) disappointed. Please delete your cracked LFS and keep using the demo-version. If you respect LFS developers (Because they have made alot of work so we can simulate racing conditions in our livingroom), you will not use any cracks. Sure, the content of S2 is alot more than in demo, and that's the way it should be. After you have "supported the cause" by buying a license (Or winning it), then you can freely enjoy the full potential of LFS. Would you steal candy from the grocery-store? No. And thus, you shouldn't steal LFS license. I will keep your identity hidden if you promise (To yourself) that you will not use something you don't own.

Maybe the problem is that you are using wrong name. When I sent the PM to everyone, I said that the server name would be "S2 Voucher Competition - Practi". I changed to "S2 Voucher Competition - Prac" after I made a typo in config-file.

now its working i has trying with the old one that was my mistake

i like fast driving, go-kart racing.
if i win a S2-license i will race that kart.

For some reason I botched the dates of pre-qualifications. 6th of may? It is not sunday! Neither is 13th of may. Also, for some reason there weren't pre-qualification on 18th of may (So you "got" extra P-Q). Edited the first post, so they are right now.

(The P-Q's are 20.4, 27.4, 4.5, 11.5 and 18.5)

2nd pre-qualification has ended. Edited the first post so you can see your rankings there.

That was harder than usual
