Before I get flamed I know there are similar threads but the ones I have found are nearly 2 years old and therefore probably a bit out of date.

Anyway until recently I've only really raced on pick-up servers but I fancy joining a league where the racing will be cleaner. Can anyone recommend somewhere where the I go, I'm not too bothered what I'm driving as long as it's a fun atmosphere and not too serious competition (i.e not getting slaged off if I miss a race because I've got a promise on)

Cheers, Mike

I'm going to have to pull out of the event because I'm a bit broke.

I'm not too bothered about getting my deposit back if it becomes a problem.

It's an individual thing.

Not every football hooligan beats his wife up after 6 Stella Artois - but it's managed to earn it's nickname by plucking away at the fabric of our moral code for many years.

Stella Act-a-tw@.

After the whole "it's cheaper to buy this lager than to buy bottled water111!!!" debate in the press I thought i'd try some - it's like drinking Weasel Piss

Excelsior(sp?) lager from Lidl is the drink of the disearning alcoholic

I hear newcastle has a street literally full of curry houses.

Diesel and Turbo Shandy, your best friend and worst enemy all in a single pint glass.

Don't forget that Newcastle is the curry capital of the UK

Cumberland suasages rule but only with mashed potatoes and onion gravy, not really a breakfast suasage though.

The new plan would be a much better one and I'll let you know as soon as I get the chance as to wether I can make it.

Due to a plan to get back infront with my finances blowing up in my face I might not be able to make it to the karting. Bob I'll let you know for definate before the end of next week.I won't be too fussed about getting the deposit back so don't worry about that.

Once again sorry.

Recently I've been too tired from work to participate in V1 practise sessions without losing my concentration and binning the car, it's as if I just can't find the groove.

Half day tomorrow so I'm going to get some sleep and (hopefully) be back with a vengeance

I understand that but from the race replay I've just seen the only driver that came out of the race with any integrity was the guy that finished last because he didn't straight line the chicane after turn 1

To an extent I can agree with the points Intrepid is making, the quickest drivers seem to be doing stuff that would kill the car in real life.

Nice, is there anyway other way to get besides being quick on LFS?
Afterall when there's element of danger involved it all changes

I've just seen the revised results and I would like apologise for my previous statement, can't argue with whats there.

Now how do I get to watch the race?

Fair enough then.

So stamping your feet gets you into a race now then yeah?

Explains how Danica got in then

Best thing to do is accept it and try again as soon as you get the chance. I was quicker than one guy in the Q2 session yet he got in and I didn't because I spun the car more then once.

How can I watch the race?

That was eventful to say the least.

I'm glad there's another round to try again because I was very poor, think the pressure got to me a bit

Will the races be put on youtube or anything like that?

The names of those that have qualified for round 2 qualifying are up

I've done myself proud so far but I'll be surprised if I can get into the race proper

The other night someone sent me a setup on the V1 server and I would like to say thank you. Sir I'm not sure what you're name is but you made me go 3/4 of a second quicker and for that I thank you.

Quote from DevilDare :

ok guys not cooooool!!!!!!!

kept on trying to get better times, last 50 seconds left to end quali, i manage to start my last lap, personal best first split, nice keep on pushing, next corner taken nicely, getting cloer to second split, quali ends, server shut down.......

I think i would of improved my time 90%..... could of atleast waited for another 1min or so, cos i saw other on their last lap too.....

Anyways was pretty fun took some time getting used to this combo, havent driven it for ages

I'd just started my last flying lap and got booted, still Iwasn't last on the server, I set myself a new PB and I didn't hit anyone so I was quite pleased

Quote from Becky Rose :

I used to be quite regular at a local indoor kart track, i'd marshall in exchange for free track time, and sometimes we'd run the circuit backwards for a laugh - flippin' dangerous though, and not something we could have the punters do, the safety precautions where all designed for the track in 1 direction.

LFS' fantasy tracks are designed with both directions in mind, hense racing the circuit backwards is not a problem.

I did pretty much the same thing when I was younger. there was turn which had a really fast entry speed going in and the natural line would lead you straight into an upright support, a real seat of your pants type of corner.

Racing in the dark using a flashlight to see where we were going was lots of fun too.
