Just buy a copy of GTL for this mod, I did and I'm not disapointed, far better use of a tenner than a months iRacing
If people feel the need to spend more than a tenth of that on go karts then something has gone very wrong with a formula that was meant to offer low cost simple entry into motorsport.
£160000 is a lot of money, more than enough to run serious single seaters for a season if they're run with production based engines, not crashed to often and most importantly run centrally so cars are all the same and there is no option to throw silly money for small improvements. Formula Palmer Audi manages to offer seasons around the £60000 mark, putting a more powerful production based engine in a similar chassis and some extra transport cost won't triple the price.
Completely agree can we get rid of this idiot? He keeps wasting forum space with stupid threads
Sounds like a bargain, British F3 has budgets of £500000 and up.
'Standard' = rollcage (greatly increased chassis stiffness), roof which changes aerodynamics, some weight saving, different tyres and probably changed (but locked and controlled) shocks and dampers.
It all adds up and makes a considerable difference over the standard car.
It has happened in 2 out of 42 sessions.
That is the road car, not the same thing we've got in iRacing. Comparing laps to reality is pointless, there are too many variables so laptimes should be whole seconds out, trying to get realistic laptimes will only result in ISI style botching.
My computer had locked up with red bands across it for the second time, not happy 
None of the cars in LFS, with the possible exception of the RB4 should stand a remote chance of getting out of a gravel trap.
Yeah the Jefferson layout, wikipedia reveals it is only used for training courses and bike track days. The main circuit is still ridiculously dangerous, a quick search on youtube showed three videos with cars going into trees at high speed, two in exactly the same spot.
LFS FF is quite smoothed and I like it in a way. The problem with iRacing is I have to turn the FF strength down because the bumps were literally vibrating my wheel apart, between each 20 minute Legends race I was disassembling my wheel and tightening the screws on the back of my Frex boss to stop it falling apart.
If there was a way of getting mild bumps with otherwise stronger FF then I'd be all for it, maybe a separate fast and slow FF system than just smoothing the output.

Summit Point is a fantastic circuit, how it got through a safety inspection I don't know, it has trees much closer to the outside of corners than we have barriers to the inside on a lot of European tracks.
That tightening last turn is a tricky one, unfortunately I spun in front of the pack of cars that was about to lap me and took several cars out, I feel like a complete noob

Some people up for the advanced Solstice at Summit Point? Got my rating high enough just in time for the last race before track change
He only got 8 points. I have filed a formal complaint over this incident because the driving standards were so ridiculously bad, I think with a video and being impartial (I gained 2 places from this incident) there is a good chance said driver won't be doing it again in a hurry.
True, but I think having blue flags would increase the chance that people pay attention to them dramatically.
I don't know what your races have been like but I've been stuck behind people for laps who are a lot slower than me but are weaving and blocking to stop a car lapping them. Blue flags don't mean jump out of the way but like IRL you should let a car that is faster than you have an opportunity to pass at a sensible passing place if it can't find its own (sensible and safe) way past sooner.
I don't see any need to make the autocross area bigger, it is already big enough to autotests and banger racing on.
You heard this where?

He seems to know what he's talking about.
I've got a Visa Electron, there wasn't a Visa Electron sign like there usually is but I just selected Visa and shoved the details in, didn't seem to mind.
Got it working like a treat, biggest fiddle was getting the thing reassembled with pots correctly inserted in both pedals. Very simple to do and if anybody has a faulty set of test pedals lying around and an old game controller I recommend you give it a go. Will try and find an old joystick I've got lying about so I can re-do it with 3 axis and hopefully the board will fit inside the pedal base (FF GP board was too long and narrow).
I signed up with my debit card, I think all the nonsense that was stated before about having to have a credit card was just coming from uninformed Americans who like to spend money they don't have on racing sims.
Running ovals will only have a positive effect on your safety rating, unless you really can't master turning left, it is easy to get no incidents in a race, I haven't done this in the Solstice yet.
Having opened (whoever at Fanatec thought it was a good idea to have 17 screws securing the pedal cover should be shot)the pedals and done some fiddling I've managed to get the Fanatec accelarator pot working with the Logitech board, going to try the same with the brake now.
Problem is a set of G25 pedals requires a G25 so unless someone has got a broken G25 with working pedals there's not a lot of point in getting one.
A set of pedals?
I've currently got 4 sets of pedals none of which I like, three of them Logitech pedals which all work but are cheap and horrible and have to use two sets at a time to get 3 pedals. My other pedal set is from the Fanatec test wheel, which if they worked would be just what I'm looking for, unfortunately they've now got to the stage where the intermittent loss of inputs isn't funny.
I'm looking for a set of pedals that will be both reliable (ie. not wireless) and reasonably ergonomic to use, Fanatec pedals would be fine, anything Logitech produced not so. Does anybody make pedals that a set of pedals that fit this description, I'd be looking to pay £50-100 for a set of pedals but really can't stretch to the expensive ones.
I suppose alternatively I could have a bit of a DIY project but I can't see any free time to do that for a long time. Alternatively I wonder if it would be possible to convert the Fanatec pedals to be wired with the Logitech circuit board?

I'm having so many hardware problems I'm almost not able to crash out. My next problem is related to the Fanatec pedals, anybody else using them (particularly the beta test versions) with iRacing?
The problem is still the pedal inputs cutting momentarily, usually under full throttle (probably only because that is where it is most noticeable) it effects all sims I've tried it in but some are especially bad, a couple of rF mods do it really badly and iRacing has started doing it far worse, throttle is cutting out multiple times a lap. My initial theory was that it was related to some kind of interference with my speakers because the rF mods it has problems with are particularly screamy and in the past muting the sound has seemed to remove the problem, I've tried iRacing with headphones but it has made no difference so it isn't related to my speakers.

I think I have seen a three wheel Solstice, though I'm not sure.
EDIT - just had a disappointing race, tried to take the outside line round the first corner on the second lap and went off and hit the wall in the same place for the second race in a row. Then went and joined the qualifying session, where my computer locked up with red streaks on the screen and had to restart, not impressed.
