the one that thought driving under a flying car was a smart idea?

That one.

Quote from DaveWS :

I heard about this - http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=58995 - No TC BF1 league the other day, could be interesting.

Edit:

That sounds ridiculously fun. I'm very tempted to re-setup my wheel for this one.

Quote from hyntty :

I love the way you took credit for that

I wasn't trying to take credit for it. It's obviously from the same replay with the original commentary from the original stream.. I didn't think people needed the clarification. It even says who's doing the commentary at within the first 5 seconds.

Was just trying to get some more limited exposure for oneGP but I'll take it down just for you.

Quote from TFalke55 :

especially... WHY uploading it in HD if its hardly SD?

Sorry. I'm not exactly a pro at youtube as you can tell. And I chose that race because it's got commentary and a full grid.

Seeing as this is the 'hot thread' right now... I just figured out how to makes LFS videos so I uploaded highlights (with commentary) of round 11 of the '08 series to youtube.

Good point. I plan on making some more 'stylish' videos with some of the other stuff I have though so hopefully it'll be ok "just this once". =)

Thanks for the tip though.

Quote from Bawbag :

A decent BF1 league would be nice though, especcially without TC...

It's already hard enough to get enough people together to drive the BF1. =P

My first video with LFS. A short one of a crash that happened to me a while back during a race. Wonderful crash physics at work. =)

Now that I have fraps I'm gonna be putting up some more vids of replays I have saved over about 2 years. Only two of them are crash vids.

Wait, what ? This phrase confuses me.

lol. I think he's wondering if Maz is gonna pass the reigns over to you. =P

Yup. Working just fine now. Thanks.

Curiouser and Curiouser...

Having a problem with LFSW hotlaps. I uploaded my hotlap of FBM @ BL1 2-3 days ago and it's still saying to wait for it to be converted to a RAF (for the hotlap analyzer). For as long as I can remember, the conversion only took a few minutes. I've tried re-uploading the file but got nothing.

Any recommendations?

Got any free time Deko? lol

Is there gonna be a round 3 post race write-up?

WE1r is a tough track to drive for 42 laps with a BF1. Great driving to the top 3 and sorry to everyone that got knocked out before the finish.

At the bottom of the race report.

Great write up. Can't wait 'till the livestream is up (hopefully with commentary). It's the only thing missing that I can think of. 1GP has really come a long way.

And again, great drive from everyone. No idiotic driving (that I noticed) and having p1 and p2 only .6x seconds apart after 32 laps has got to make the sponsors happy.

Thanks Maz.

Great driving StormCloud. Proved once again that smooth driving and a good pit strategy trumps all. And good job holding up under pressure at the end.

Maz, the link for the replay isn't working.

Quote from heagles :

you mean the uphill chikane?
that is a big problem the only solution is to brake more and come more gentle up over it

I dunno if that's the best solution. Everyone had troubles with damage on that chicane last season. It's not about not taking damage. You just need to make it so that your suspension will hold out long enough to finish.

Quote from thatguy :

26 cars headed to T1 at 200mph at AS4. Good luck to everyone in the T1 melee :P.

I hope nobody forgets how tough the opening straight before the turn can be lol.

Slip stream somebody, slide over to get along side of him, clip someone's front wheel, spin and collect 3 or 4 other drivers. Then T1. Then the corkscrew.

Should be fun.

I'm psyched to have the '09 season finally starting up. Will there be a live stream commentary?

Sorry in advance for the shameless plug. If a mod thinks this is inappropriate, feel free to delete the thread. Anyway...

My band is releasing an EP soon. We get the physical copies on 3/20 and the songs should be up on itunes soon after. We put the songs up on myspace so that everyone can hear them (unfortunately with myspace's awful compression) so check 'em out and see if you like them. The band consists of myself on bass and my friend Matt on guitar and lead vocals until we recruit a drummer and keyboard player.

Gah! I wish my connection wasn't so lame these days. Seems like this is gonna be a great season for oneGP.

It really is good motivation for people to practice more and in turn should increase the quality of the races. And it'll make people enjoy crashes less (not that they enjoyed them before) which should make for safer drivers.

Quote from hyntty :

Maz's mom?

lol

And yes David. Though I can't say officially that it is, I imagine it's real money.
