Yeah. So now all I have to do is leave work every day by 1:00 so that I can get home at 1:30 and race! 
I think we seriously need a North American server or two. I'll look into hosting a server from home, but don't know how many drivers I can host or how often I can have it running. Also not sure if Comcast will come down on me for high bandwidth usage or not.

no need to run a server; there are plenty of servers running.. its the amount of people playing
I noticed lfs has a japan branch website at http://liveforspeed.jpn.ch/
But I never met any japanese people online (or at least I think so).
I don't get it, Japan has a huge market... there should be at least some activity

Well, I've got a pretty darn good internet connection yet I only get about 3 servers that are <100 ping. A more local server would be nice to have. About getting more people playing, I'm doing my best. I've got three friends plus my brother that I'm hounding to play. I'm hoping to get something going to where my friends will play, say, every other Sunday or something. Nothing too structured, just a bunch of guys racing and having fun.
I still need to burn a bunch of LFS CDs and start passing them out...
I'm on 56k dialup and the best ping I've ever seen was 109 ms. North American servers are usually 150-175 for me. I never time out unless I'm in the server and multitasking in a web browser. I connect and race on UK (I'm guessing) servers every night. They are the servers that ping at 250 or so for me. I don't try to connect to anything more than 300. So, really, I don't think there should be any problem finding someone to race if I can connect to so many with my 56k connection. I rarely time out. Like I said, I usually have problems only when I'm web surfing while connected to an LFS server. Like now. I'm messing on the forum and my car is sitting in the pits on a North American server. I think it was a 150 ping tonight. I just heard someone come out of the garage next to me and enter the track . Got to go chase him down. C-ya

. Got to go chase him down. C-ya .Dude, I keep missing you all the time. Is that when you're on? 6-10 GMT?
It's true, but as Cue-Ball said, local server might help with ping for some peeps. I personally don't have any lag or ping problems racing one Euro server, but I'm guessing some do...
I have two fairly decent systems here that are idling without much use, so I could set one up to be a dedi server 24/7. Don't know how the bandwidth would go, though... Not that I care about Comcast, it's just that when I d/l pr0n, it might mess with the game. My roommate plays LFS too, so I bet he won't mind either.
Not that it's easy to tell when someone is Japanese, just by watching them race. Heh. I bet they mostly stick to drift servers. O SNAP
try noobs public #2 , its a us based server with ping usually under 80 or so(for me anyway). we are usally on there every night betwwen around 530 - as late as 3 or 4 in the morning (us eastern time)
Still, there's only 1% of licences bought from Japan (http://www.lfsworld.net/?win=r ... earch&whichTab=stats). Something must be wrong with the advertising...
I think it is more of a language issue... English is not an easy langauge if you are japanese, so, unless there is a nippon version, the market is very limited.
