Ohh, i get all self conscious when i know people have been watching me, especially when i know i haven't been driving too well (by the standards i set myself)

Glad you felt you learnt something though.

Setup is a huge part for me, but yes, seat time is important too.
If you want any setups feel free to ask. (most of mine are from the real fast guys) Drop me a PM with the combos you want setups for and I'll do my best to dig out what i can.

Don't spend too much time offline though. It's my belief that the only way to get faster in a race situation is getting stuck in online. Hotlapping teaches you only one line, and racing the AI teaches you nothing at all

Thanks a lot! I will PM you later today.

No need to get self conscious when I was watching you were in the 1st-2 place all the time.

I did 2 CTRA races last night, it was funny the first one I did was a tin top. About 4 laps in I had a equipment problem, my G25 shifter pulled off the desk after a shift. It destracted me long enough to get backwards in the pit exit Then I did a Single seat race and my antivirus kicked on and booted me off crashing my car out after 6 laps (was at the back of the pack just lapping and getting use to watching my mirrors). All in all an embarrasing time

Thanks for all the imput!! I am going to stay off line for a bit and just work on lapping and getting to know the lines.

I know the set up is part of it but the big part is me, I just need seat time.



p.s. Moose I watched you race Open wheel last night, I am impressed watching your lines and breaking points helped a bit.

You complain about the drift servers and yet your username is "Turbo Drifter"?

Its a old name that has stuck from years ago...so I use it. I would prefer if I was to drift again to do it in my real car not a vertual one.

Thanks for your imput though..

Well I got off work early today and was able to do some one line stuff. Did a CTRA S1 somthing.......I need more practice and find a set up lol. Sorry if I got in anyones way

Ok I'm glad to see I'm not the only one having this problem but a bit frusterated at the same time.

I was looking at the player count this morning on the main page and it was at 1200+. Last night when I was playing it was sub 150 most the night.

It seemed that even the servers that were populated mainly had crashers and yahoos in them .

I guess I will have to change my sleeping paterns a bit and see if I can get in on some good servers.

I just got my S2 licence and was looking forward to finding many servers and good racers. The last few nights I have logged on to only find 10 servers. That would not be that bad but most are Cruse and Drift servers.

Now being on the West coast of North America I guess I have to make due with what.

I guess I'm kind of venting a bit as I really wanted to have a good selection.

I will stick in there and see if it changes, I'm spending most of my time just doing off line hot laps now anyways.

p.s. awesome game though

Quote from Jakg :

Use the $report function, the servers have the functions to remove idiots, and all you need to do is highlight it...

Sorry I am new to all this and was not aware at the time. If it happens again I will use it

I have just joined the LFS world and fell in love. I just got my S2 license last week and was looking forward to a large selection of servers and profesional racers. I do not know if its me or my time zone but there is very few servers and of them most are full of wreckers.

I joined 1 CTRA server and out of the 12 people in there 5 were intrested in racing and the rest seemed to want to crashing into anything in sight. I started and watched the pack go off (wanted to lap out of the pack for a few min), after the first corner 8 cars had wrecked. I then passed them all as they were all over the track. After that I was used as a brake for some one and the next guy rolled meonto my roof and out. That was all with in 2/3 of the first lap and I gave up, I'm not going to waist my time with players like that.

I hope that that was just a bad night and not a example of whats to come.
