thanks mikjen

so thats who you are yeager :-o i used to love watching you at silverstone whenever i went down there!


fooking mental video too xD

Extraordinary Newsflash!!!!


Ok, I am proud to say that now, thanks to Drifty (user in lfsdrift forum), we now have a prize to give to the highest scoring driver!

The Prize Is :

A 500 Servers hosted Server (32-47 slots) for the highest scoring Driver!



Prize by Drifty. (cannot thank you in words! it would take a miracle!)


So this means if you ARE the highest scoring driver, you could provide your team with a server, or if your a privateer you can have it for your own personal use! (or even offer it to someone you know!)

The prize is yours, its up to you what you do!



Thanks ever so much to Drift on behalf of myself and the LFS EDC Staff!
Callum C.

no, I've only seen pictures of it. I found them on some forum. Also, I don't think it's entirely possible to do that.

Edit: let me try doing this. I'll see what I can do for you.

you going to test this on the xrG whilst making it or the xrT?

woooops xD

there is one on now

I know people have made this layout over and over again, but i wanted to edit Corey_XR4I's version as the start was too short. I ended up having a clear autocross and trying to make my first ever replica.

I didn't have any decent pictures to make this from so i used certain shots in the jdm allstars wembley 2009 video, mainly from where dan chapman is explaining the layout.

Personally i think for my first major try at making a 1:1 scale layout, and even more so from a video, i think its worked really well and i think its as close to realism as it could ever get (as we have no bumps for obj's)

Hope you like it! (bottom of page under pics showing overall and clips)










Video i used...

Would anyone be interested in the below?

Basically, it will be ran like normal motorbike speedway, except with one type of car (e.g : all drivers XRT) There would be 15, 4 lap races on a 1:1 scale speedway, replicating Redcar Speedway (in vids below). Normal time taken for 4 laps - about 52.6 seconds fastest (Ty Proctor, June 4th 2009).

Since it is cars and not motorbikes, handbrake use is allowed, also your brake pedal for normal brakes may be used to avoid crashes/in general (but only a faint hearted person needs normal brakes )

It would only be a mini comp, unless it got so popular to become a full series on different sized speedways and each round changing from car to car (from UF1's to FZ5's - FWD just grip, rwd whatever suited). Also since the lfs dev's never made a dirt paddock like autocross, it means the speedway is on tarmacced autocross or in the bl car park. This means it is faster, and more fun, and also the reason i posted here as basically it is drifting, just on an oval with 3 other drivers packed together.

Heats 1 - 14 would have drivers already set in gates (1 - 4) whereas heat 15 would have teams select drivers to take there 2 spots.

The Main Details :
- 2 teams of 8 meaning theres 16 drivers.
- 4 drivers in each race - 2 from each team
- Drivers are colour coded, one team Red or Blue, the other Yellow or Green (car colour)
- Host (i) decide who goes in each heat up until heat 15
- Heat 15 the team captain chooses his 2 drivers (normally the 2 high scorers)

In A Heat :
- 3 points for 1st, 2 for 2nd and 1 for 3rd, 0 for 4th
- Driver Scores are tallied up, as well as overall team scores - which give us our winner at the end
- IF the leading team gets to a lead of 10 points or more, a driver from the other team can become a TACTICAL DRIVER, with a black and white car, this just doubles the points he/she wins in that heat, but you only have 2 tactical drivers per event.

would this interest anyone at all? I know it is a mini comp but for the sake of having to put drivers into heats, a sign up is needed, which i will sort out on the EDC forum.

what i may do, is let 16 people sign up, then split drivers into 2 teams of 8 as not many teams have 8 active members, so its just to do what is best.

tell me your opinion please, would you sign up and take part?

thanks,
Callum.

Quote from XCNuse :

Okay that's it, I can't take anymore of this stupid thing.

I wanted to go with a vector route and make it look really nice etc. and be close of the cars but.. that didn't happen.
Meaning.. I wanted to put an LFS car in a different game shot, but.. I figured that is considered cheating.. aka work with what you have instead of trying to make something up.

sick and tired of working on this image lol been on it since monday.. i can't stand to look at it any longer.

kthxbai!
