It's a shame. Although I would have preferred the GP to remain at Silverstone, having 2 F1 standard circuits in the UK would have been very good for British motorsport in general.
I assume the project is dead now as the website no longer works and there has been no word about it on the forum for months. Am I right is Jay and the team working away quietly?

I play on my Macbook. You have to install Windows (best to get XP unless you have more that 2gb of RAM) with Boot Camp Assistant. Then you install LFS like normal on your Windows partition.
I guess either Thrustmaster RGT or DF GT. Have to see what Thrustmaster say about the one i have at the moment and then I'll decide.
Oh and the one I've got isn't worth alot of cash I don't think. Ferrari 3 in 1 Rumbleforce is the one I have. Bought it new from game for something like £25.
Don't worry mate! I did my ankle whilst racing in Italy last year and within about 3 weeks I went from hardly being able to use throttle - not being able to heel and toe - very clumsy heel and toe - fine heel and toe. It always feels weird for a while but you will find a technique that works for you and soon you will be able to heel and toe again!

Can somebody make a nice skin for FXR based around the attached logo and the Birel Kart? Other logos included eg bridgestone would also be much appreciated!!
It would be cool to see something like the Ginetta Juniors in the game. They are so underpowered and unaerodynamic so the racing is very close. The racing is very similar to 125cc Motogp!
I'm even getting in to the 1.15's now and considering I've only been playing 3 days I thinks pretty good.
Unfortunately I'm a bit stuck... I've been having a look at RFactor aswell.
I haven't downloaded it yet but am going to tonight. I've only got £30 to spend so it's one or the other.
I like the fact that Rfactor has a lot of flexibility with what you can drive and where. I find it really cool how you can race in pretty much anything anywhere and am especially interested in the Karting mod.
LFS is really good but I haven't got a great PC and whilst practicing on my own is absolutely fine, racing with others slows down a bit and sometimes this can catch you out when in corners!
So, I need you guy's thoughts. I'm sure some of you play both.
Which one is better?
I got the impression that RFactor may be a bit more "arcadey".
Is this true? Also is the online play good? On my PC on LFS it's not very smooth.
I've got the chicane sorted and have started doing some racing online which is really good fun. My fastest lap so far is a 1:16.5 and in most races I'm in the top half of the field which is good.
Unfortunately I can't find a good setup. The one I use isn't great as i get a lot of understeer and the ones I download I get insane oversteer in every corner!
Can someone point me towards a good setup for the FBMW at Blackwood GP please?
I've pretty much got that time sorted, I'm doing 1.18.5's and I think of got at least a second or two just pushing through the corners. The only place I'm struggling is through the chicane after T1. No matter what I do I can't get through there anywhere near full power. I'm having to lift of and even brake so that I don't spin. I don't know a lot about set-up so I've just downloaded some but can't edit them because I'll probably just make them worse.
Its annoying because the chicane is right before the massive straight so its costing me loads of time!
