Quote from anttt69 :

It's better, but only visually.

..in your opinion.


Personally I'd say iRacing is better in every aspect than LFS and certainly justifies it's price.

That's not to say it's in any way perfect, but no sim is.

For all the people that think I'm talking out of my backside let me just confirm what i'm talking about here.

When I say "drunk driving" I'm not talking about driving after 10 pints, I'm talking about driving with just over the legal limit of alcohol in your system, which is technically "drunk driving"

Any of you that don't believe that your reaction times are slower when on the phone than when at the legal alcohol limit are simply in denial. All research done has come to the same conclusion.

Don't get me started on texting whilst driving. That is way beyond stupid.

To the person that thinks I'm trolling... read my posts again and see if you can work out why I have very strong opinions on this subject. I'm not going to spell it out for you.


Thanks P5YcHoM4N and the others that have pointed out the facts.

I suspect it's the older, more experienced drivers that actually recognise the truth of the situation.
I'm rather worried that I share the roads with people that think driving whilst on the phone is acceptable

Quote from marsaz :

Anyone who thinks that is a complete idiot

Do the research.

It's more dangerous than driving with the US legal limit for alcohol in your system. Fact.

Quote from marsaz :

Get back to me when someone you know get's killed... what? Who makes comments like that?

Someone who lost a person due to a moron driving whilst on the phone makes comments like that.

You think I have issues with that? Damn right I do!

Try taking some PCP. That tends to bring people out of their shell.

Quote from hrtburnout :

Protip: Don't call me an idiot.

Pro answer: I'll stop calling you an idiot when you stop doing something that's as dangerous as driving drunk.

Get back to me when someone you know is killed by a driver who was on the phone and then try and tell me it not idiotic.

50% of you admit to driving whilst using a mobile phone? What is wrong with you people? Idiots.

err..the Nvidia cup is just the new name for the rookie mx5 series

Quote from Bob Smith :

For example with Virgin, their fair usage is only 2 or 3GiB during working hours, and unlimited outside those hours.

On there 20mb package you can use 3.5 gigs between 10.00 and 15.00 and 7 gigs between 16.00 and 21.00 Not bad at all really. Completely unlimited outside of those hours, though the have started throttling torrents and newsgroup traffic until midnight as you say which is a pain.

Still, you can max your line out from midnight to 10.00am all week and they wont say a word.

It's probably due to a massive recent increase in Chemtrails

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :

i think when some of the LFS guys go into it full time he might have a little battle on his hands

I'd say that 90% of the top LFS guys from recent years already race at iRacing, and still no one has come close to Greger. The gap will close, but no ones there yet.

A lot more of the LFS guys will be racing in the DWC next season, but I cant see Greger being beaten. Rich Towler and Luca Masier would be my bets on providing the closest competition.

Quote from DeKo :

Thats exactly what he said?

I thought so too...

Quote from J.B. :

I gave it another try. To my disbelief there doesn't seem to have been a single physics update in the past 2.5 years!

There have been physics updates every 3 months!

Quote from J.B. :

Then there are still the ridiculous x1 penalties whenever you dare to put a wheel on the grass, even if you are still able to keep the throttle planted without problems.

Don't know how many times this misinformation has been spread, but the fact is you have to have over half your car off the racing surface to incur a 1x. You can happily stick two wheels on the grass with no problem at all.

Quote from J.B. :

A few questions for the iRacing regulars:
I'm still interested in the Formula Mazda, Spa and Brands. If I shell out for them, will I be able to drive them in competition? As far as I can tell iRacing still dictates which cars are driven where and when. Which means that there is no Formula Mazda on either Spa or Brands. Or are there free servers somewhere where people can drive on any combo they want, LFS style?

If you have the correct license ('C' for the Star Mazda) you can drive them in competition.
Not sure of brands is in the Mazda schedule this season. Spa should be on most schedules next season.

There are always plenty of hosted servers to race on, whatever your license.

I've been a member for 20 months. I've done it the expensive way as well... 3 monthly subs and never more than 3 bits of content at a time.

I have all road content and a few ovals.

The grand total for the best 20 months of simming I've ever had? 42p per day.
(and remember..I could have done it a lot cheaper if i'd bought bulk and gone for yearly subs)


It's hardly breaking the bank now is it?

Quote from amp88 :

This is more of a "What's that artist name?" question than song name. I'm looking for the name of guy who is a rapper/singer who is a busker and plays hip hop inspired electronic music. He's uploaded a few videos to YouTube and in at least one of them he's joined by a saxophonist. In at least one his girlfriend can be seen in the back of the shot holding up CDs of his to sell to the audience. I don't know any song names / lyrics. I appreciate that's not a lot to go on, but I'd like any help you can offer. Thanks.

That's plenty to go on

Quote from mutt107 :

hey someone could buy me 1 month for 5$

If you can't afford one of the promo deals then there's no point even being interested in iRacing

Quote from mutt107 :

any way i can get a free trial to this? since now i have a computer than can run it.

No free trials (they tried that briefly and it was a disaster)

Best offer at the moment is 3 months for $12

I'm obviously a bit slow but I just figured out you're the retard who posted on the iRacing forum how to hack iRacing and got instantly banned and lost a years subscription into the bargain! It couldn't have happened to a more worthy candidate.

Now I understand all your anti iRacing/Shannon Whitmore posts plastered all over the internet. You tell people how to cheat iRacing (and more than likely did it yourself) and then slag iRacing off everywhere because they banned you. Unf*****gbelievable stupidity on your part I must say. Not the sharpest tool in the box are you?

Quote from Haupman :

I thought this whole thing was pretty funny. Thanks for the laughs.

Yup, it's fairly obvious to everyone that acting like a deranged 10 year old makes you laugh. You're a very sad little boy.

Quote from Haupman :

I got my refund from lfs and am banned so it's all good.

Err.. If you're banned how are you still posting?

Still, being banned would be consistent with most other sim racing sites you've joined There's a couple more you'll be banned from soon as well. I made sure of that.

Quote from Haupman :

I do have say all you guys are pretty nuts

The irony of that statement wont be lost on us, that's for sure

Quote from Haupman :

Anyways I'm outta here.

Stayed alive for another year
Got a couple of world records in iRacing
Acquired a freaky internet stalker

What kind of freak are you Haupman that you need to sign up at DI with another account just to personally abuse me even more?

I'm seriously worried about your metal state.

If you want to hurl your pathetic insults at me at least be a man about it and do it here, in public, under your own user name.

Of course you wont because you're a pathetic little cowardly child.

I apologise to the OP for getting this thread totally derailed and probably locked soon, but I felt it was my duty to let the community know what sort of nutter we're dealing with here.

Quote from 5haz :

Surely it'd be more fun to have one you could have a proper row with, something beyond overused obscenities and references to various sex acts.

Id love to have a proper row with him, but he just insults and leaves. I do try and respond but he's not man enough to stand up to someone that will obviously kick his ass in a "debate"

I've never had an internet stalker before. It's kinda fun. Especially when they are as stupid as this one.

Quote from Haupman :

I think people in this thread are a little paranoid and there is no point in arguing with mad men.

Keep trying you nutter.

and you call us mad men

Quote from Haupman :

"F****** queer. I'd love to kick your ass"

Quote from Haupman :

I am like you I like to support the small "guy" in sim racing and I really hope things progress for him and his sim.

So to sum up.. Haupmans a nice guy who likes to support the small independent sim producer, whilst in his spare time likes to post abusive messages to complete strangers, for no other reason than they like iRacing.

..and there ladies and gentlemen we have a textbook case of schizophrenia

Anyone know a shrink?

Quote from Hoshimodo :

...haha, these comments remind me of the PM he sent to me @ drivingitalia. He's already banned there

Yup, he's sent me lovely PM's here and at DI, and a friend at Radiator Springs got a rather amusing one as well.

I'm rather worried about his obsession with C*** sucking....

I just got two more comments on my vids at Youtube. That Shannon Whitmore must have a massive penis as I'm apparently sucking it from England and he's in the US!


EDIT..lol, he obviously left me another one at DI before his ban "F****** queer. I'd love to kick your ass"

A true internet hardman
