I can usually get away with driving on servers that ping sub-400

From what I've seen lately, it's pretty hard to get a good race on local servers... but you're really wasting your time with the AI coopz.

Quote from Shotglass :

seriously though ... whos gonna tape his wii to his forehead ?

Yeah, you'd look like a bit of a dickhead....

The idea behind throttle blipping is to get the engine up to speed with the lower gear you have selected.

As long as you're not compression-locking or accidentally unsettling the car, I don't think there's too much to worry about. I'd be more inclined to blip too much rather than too little.

Quote from Gimpster :

Trying to race around the track with people running backwards and dragracing down the back straight.

Trying to drag down the back straight with people racing!!
Really though, I only ever did it on drag servers.... really, truly!

I remember trying to keep my pbs on a bit of scrap-paper

One for the aussies, being wrecked by Gazzz

I also remember goop being banned from RSC

Banned?! The mod told me it was a 'one week holiday' :yipee: and to think, all this time I felt special. Totally Rotary's fault, BTW

After about an hour of reading through my atrocious trolling posts :doh: I found the link that brought me to LFS - and serenity

Quote from James63 @ Codemasters' Forum :

The best part is it has multiplayer also. Race up against 8 players in this version, awesome fun.

Phwooar!

... when mirrors displayed names in reverse
... when SO Chicane was a lot nastier.
... when I was the v-bookie champ on RSC, and was going to win (iirc) an S2 license. Then, they reset it :sob:

1. 0.547 (oops)
2. 0.187
3. 0.187
4. 0.171
5. 0.187

Average of 0.2558. Boy did this go off-topic
There's other exceptions, too. It's rarely a good idea to shift going over a bump or around a corner; a good set-up will have suitable gearing.

Quote from Alric :

Happy birthday Scawen have a good day and thanks for giving me so many happy times with a steering wheel.

:up: cheers dude. Have a good one :cyclops:

(in order)
1. New track

2. New car

:cyclops: long odds huh

Pot is awesome for concentration too :shhh: or so I've heard.

Probably not a good idea in league-racing though :tired:

Thanks, got 4th in the end, not too bad.

I usually have a really strong coffee before a league race. It helped me in qualifying tonight, but in the race I was a bit shaky.... and I can probably rule out sleep for a day or two as well I guess I need to balance the stimulants and the depressants a little better next time, hehe.

good post NIKI I've got a league race on tonite; I'll try some of those things.

I tried shift-f'ing earlier, not for me I don't think. I like to see my tyres and what shade of red they are, and how much grass is on each one. I just need to be strong and not look at split times in the middle of high-speed sweepers and chicanes :doh:

Try here, too: Useful links
and LFS Wiki

Welcome Would like to see some more piccies of your beast from further back

and w00t @ 300, I think I'll have a bourbon to celebrate (as long as you can find a reason every single day, it's not really alcoholism )

I still jump on for a couple of races most nights. League racing keeps me interested, as do combos I find that I haven't driven much, or just want to be more competitive on. I'm probably lucky in a way; it takes many hundreds of laps before I master a combo... hehe :cyclops:

There's definitely less Aussies lately, though. A lot of the old hands have gone, and as you say, unless we get a really substantial update (tracks + a car or 2.... or weather), I doubt most of them would bother to 're-learn' the game all over again.

Read the first post in the thread and follow the directions

I sent that a full 3 hours before it closed.

She could tickle my elmo anytime jokes.

Far out, looks nasty man, speedy recovery

Trade you S2 for GF daddyo

Ok, the licence went to lucasdrifter. Based on this thread and the quick race we just had, he getsies.
Thanks to my papa for being a good sport, although, TBH, I never wore that pink stripey shirt you sent me.
Enjoy man, look forward to seeing you in S2 with a wheel!

There's a heap more cars than in demo, there's CTRA, and it's a step up to S2. Perhaps someone will get use out of it, rather than it sitting idle.

So, in summary, my thread, me me me, shoo :slap:

Isn't it foolish to post without reading.
Believe I heard it somewhere before......

It's a give-away you dopey sods

Bought this for my dad a while ago. He has never used it, so there's not much point hanging on to it.

In a short paragraph, describe your racing philosophy, i.e. yellow/blue flags, passing, revenge moves, contact, etc. Answer I like best getsies

e: :doh: oops, fixed.

I hear a noise that sounds like an 'Aliens' motion-tracker in the XRR at high speed.

".... six metres man....."

Adds to the atmosphere

Quote from richy :

If any of you have old books you wont read or dont read then kindly donate them to your local hospital since they are like a paper medicine.

My lady donated her PS2 to the local hospital :faint: All she asked was that they name a wing after her..... actually, that bit is not true.

Get well soon dude
