If you have engine running problems after over revving it should be quite long repair. Try to take head off and change valves in pits. Maybie server host option if engine repair is allowed or not. At default it should be not.

Thanks for the replys!
Always nice to see on these forums that discussion is still going strong.

Community modding would cut the bottleneck of developement.
I have tried rFactor 2, well that game does not have really fancy graphix and the feeling is not so much better than lfs. What comes to online racing what makes it good and fun. I think the basics what are needed is
working net code, right physics and competitive grid.
Games like iRacing has not done anything so good on these years, what LFS could not do.
LFS have done so many thigs right, at this point its not really about the big things anymore. The groundwork has been done properly.

5tag, youre right. Its not the racing itself what caused this.
I think there is massive amounts of drivers who would rather race without monthly payment on ranked system.

To UnknownMaster.

I have frustrated now, once i started looking other options than iracing.
Something less expensive.
Do you remember example fox junkies? Open game and there you go.
Is there any server you can jump on and have a blast?
Please give example Smile
I think this kind of conversation has been here before.
I have no idea what kind of plans does lfs dews have, but they might not have any idea what kind of potential they are sitting on.

Hello! This is my speech.
I have been lfs member since something Uhmm
Back in days lfs was the first sim what got me hooked to sim racing.
It has been pleasure to be member of this long term community.
Times have changed, in terms of simracing and real world racing.

Today normal racing has lost many spectators and fans, maybie bechause it has become not so exciting.
What i think what caused that to racing is evolution of suspension, aerodynamics and tyres.
The formula one, wtcc and many other class is going in wrong direction with their new regulations concerning bigger downforce and tyres.
This sport lives from the spectators, not from the laptimes.
No one remembers the few second quiker laptimes after race, but evryone remembers sliding cars, passes and action on track.

Evrything has it consequenses.
It does reflect to simracing. Other forms of racing have come and started increase their popularity, like drifting.
What i have read from somewhere, cant remember where Looney that drifting is fastest growing form of motorsport. It is fun to watch, it is fun to do, it is exciting and appears to be spectacular. Also it is easily accessible.
Evry kind of attetion to motorsport is good.

Now to simracing and lfs.

Its truth that lfs has lost most of its racing servers.
Now when i go check server list there is many cruising and drifing servers.
Its not bad, its not wrong, but i do miss those full racing servers.
Where are all those racers??
I would say that they are most likely on some club servers. Many have moved to iRacing and other sims.
Why? I think the success of iracing is the marketing and the way they do it.
You can find competitive races. Its pure clean racing. Its bechause the rank system.

Once in a while i play lfs, just take a car of current mood and give it a blast.
Lfs feels great. It feels different than others, others feel different than others.
Lfs does simulate car handling characteristic very good. It does not do any special effects or over do it. It feels like it looks. Very basic and right. It feels all the time like i know what im doing, and it does it.

Lfs does have potential to be anything.
Few days ago i was gonna buy 3-month subscription to iracing. After getting to payment site the price scared me. Over 40€! Not gonna happen.
What i want is good racing with reasonable price check. Why not to do offical rank system like most populated games? (example counter strike, iracing, league of legends). Its the way to match similar level of drivers agaist each other. And market the game with it!
Is anyone else frustrated to the lack of clean public racing? I'am.
This has been said on some popular simracing channel (cant find the video, someone might find it Nod ).
Regular race start times. Evryone knows when racing starts. It has it benefits.

Here is jumping from subject to fifth.(like we say in finland)
btw, latest blackwood update. Nice work again!
