Lynce,

I noticed a repeated problem throughout the site. You use large high quality images but you use CSS to resize them to fit your website. This has three negative effects.

* It takes longer for the pages to load.
* It uses more bandwidth
* And the worst problem, the browsers do a really bad job of resizing images (quality-wise).

You should resize them in Photoshop or whatever your tool of choice is instead of relying on the browser to scale them.

Edit...
Just so you have an idea what I mean. I took a screenshot of what I see in my browser:
novitec_browser_scaled.jpg (remember this is actually 226.2KB since it's the same image as the original)
Novitech_photoshop.jpg (the 226.2KB original file resized in photoshop -> 33.3KB)
Perfromanc Novitec banner.jpg (original)

Noted Thanks.

I'm working for more projects. I need this opinions because I don't know these troubles.

Another content could be the presentation of a racing team each issue.
Maybe get some statements from teammembers, and/or statements about the team from the community or such.., and some pics taken on their server.
Like the Idea of a magazine pretty much! Keep up the good work!

@ Torben. Nice idea as jayhawk but I need contributions and txt declarations

@ Dac. Need help about your idea. I like it.

You could contact some league admins and ask them to write a short summary of a race of their league that happened in the last week which you could put in the News section.

Quote from seinfeld :

this just really shows how bored the users of LFS really are, instead of playing a outdated game, they are making a magazine. sure we got an update, but there is nothing new, for the time we waited, we got nothing but a few tweaks,
LFS WE NEED NEW CONTENT, not just ohh we lowered the xrt CoG by 2mm making it a totally new car. pfft. you could of just put a new body on it, add 20 hp, and give it a sequential box and call it a BSFG turbo, and we would of been just as oblivious to how stupidly lazy the creators have now gotten.

I think its great you made a magazine, but you need contnet, updates to the game, and so hype created, then the magazine would be cool. but its great that you are getting it going in anticipation that you may have something to write about in a few years time when we get 1 new car (we hope)

Who pissed in your weetabix?

On what car has been inspired?

This is my opinion:

XR GT = Mazda Effini RX-7

XR GT Turbo = Mitsubishi Starion.

You can have feeds with pictures aswell:
http://www.caradvice.com.au/feed/

and mabye a Email newsletter every week or month that is sent out

Sorry if this was already planned or suggested

Dear James.

I like very much your sugestion.

How I put this in Live for Speed Magazine?

Thanks.

Sorry, this is new for me.

You use Synthasite right?

On the content sidebar, there are various folders (such as Photo Gallery, Video, Widgets, Forms etc.)

Under widgets, there's an RSS Reader... i think this will be the right thing. Insert one of those

Sorry if I missed anything but contribution for what? I also really like the cover, it looks beautiful. I love the idea of using a simple car that everyone can drive and making it look cool like that, the black tyres look awesome and I didn't know the XR GT was inspired by a Japanese car. This website also provides me with info .

I agree with you, I think the RX7 is the XR GT and the Starion is the XR GT turbo. I will also make or find new skins for you, I just got Photoshop cs3 .
