Hi All,

I have been playing for about 3 weeks - and have brickwalled for the time being at bl gp in the 1:35s.

I fancy a change - what track is a good progression from bl gp ?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

thanks for your help mate.

Hi -

Can anyone tell me - if I want to run two computers on network at home, to have a local only two player race - do I need to have a license on each machine, or can register my existing licence on both?

Any advice appreciated on this.

Not a very serious post - but work is slow today!

Has anyone tried driving LFS when a little over the limit?

I came in from the pub last night, and couldn't resist a bit of practice - rolled at the hairpin at BL GP twice, tried again, but even after 20 laps, could only get within 2 secs of my best lap.

By the way, I never drink drive for real - and on last nights evidence, I don't understand how people do...

Quote from danowat :

Does depend on the car, but in my experiance, gearing seems to make little difference, I normally set my gearing so the engine peaks in top on the longest straight, then space them back from there, but I have driven other peoples sets (fast people, i.e. Sparkydave) and his gearing was VERY high, infact so high that I couldnt even get into top in the FXO, and it was still as quick.

Dan,

yeah i know what you mean - a fast guy sent me a setup the other night, with longish ratios (xf gti) but too much understeer for me - maybe I will combine his gears with the suspension from inferno

just every time I start to toy with setups myself, i end of getting lost in them - perserverance i guess

Quote from thisnameistaken :

I suppose you need the highest available top speed, since you'll reach it on the back straight, and one gear that gives good grunt when you're doing 70mph-ish to pull you up the hills. Take a look at the Inferno setups, they've probably all got the same/similar gearing.

I use the inferno setups actually - I really like them.

I have been spectating some real fast guys, and I seem to be taking the right lines, and braking in the right places, but can't break out of 1.37s / couple of times in the 1.36s.

I know its me, not the setup - but just trying to learn a bit more.

I drive a Ford Cougar V6

and previously -

200sx turbo s13
rover 220 gti
escort rs turbo (blew up/thats what you get for 200 bhp out of old 1.6 8v)
escort rs turbo (rotted floor)
205 1.9 gti
escort rs turbo (stolen)
xr2

as you can see the rs turbos were quick but unlucky!

re gear ratios / final drive
do most people go for a long set or a short set for bl gp ?

obviously top speed important on the long straight - but quite a few bursts of acceleration needed also...

your only a demo racer, just make a new account, or go into ucer cp and change your race name (ie under my avatar it says [MG] Jakg)

good idea! cheers mate.

anyway of changing my username - I want to use my race name

Quote from PRADO :

user cp?

just worked out where user cp was - sorry being thick

Quote from Captain Slow :

join the club. im hopeless sometimes.

p.s. i think in user cp you can choose to display your racername i think.

user cp?

I use a Thrustmaster Force Feedback GT - can be picked up cheap on ebay.

I have no problems with it - strong and easy to setup.

I actually have two, as I run two machines on a Lan at home for racing, so that shows how much I like them!

Have had for a couple of years for GP3, GP4,TOCA etc and they are still like new.

I recommend.

Just saying hello in general!

I race under the name of goshumi - and have been racing for about a week.

I can regularly run 1:37s, but have got 1:36s a couple of times.

Now i have hit a brickwall and seem to be getting slower!
