I used to listen to some music in the BG, but later in time, I couldn't really feel the car so well if the music was on. Even if it was on 10% in winamp, it still affected my driving and concentration. To me, it's really important to hear the car sounds really well, specially the tyre squiling, sliding etc. Helps me learn and feel the car more, and find it's limits.
Music is definately a no-no for league races and closer tense races but okay for some fun events and perhaps some boring long hotlap sessions(when you already know all the sounds in the head, cause of hotlapping the damned track for hours. )
Well, if it's possible to win a bmw m6 car with lfs, then I think us foreigners would surely take a 2nd or 3rd visit to the qualifying events if we would have bad luck in the first. I know I would. Sure it's going to cost a lot, but hey, if I could win the car - my life would change
Anyhow, it's sad to hear it's only for german speaking people, but I also understand the marketing question of it.. I'm happy for the 10 lucky german chaps that will race for the car, but at the same time feel a little envious and crap that we, foreigners, can't participate. As if the EPS competition is not enough for them arrr..
Oh well, hopefully these competitions will find their way into a more international level too for the future.
... Well not quite, cause according to the forum time here, there's about an hour and a half to go. But i dont care cause its been the 30th here in Estonia for about a hour and a half!
And sorry if anyone else wanted to make the thread himself or anything, but i just had to return the favor to Fordie myself cause after all - he made a nice surprise for me too when i got 18 this year.
Anyway, Happy Birthday man! Lovely job youve done for LFS and the latest UK meeting. Personally i find you one of the funniest guys in the LFS scene and always a good mate also, so this one's for you
Now go get drunk man, turning 30 on the 30th - quite a good reason to crank a bottle or two!
