Yes it's true, after a period of stagnation we at vMax are looking to re-emerge as a prominent force within LFS, with increased participation and faster laptimes. Most of all though we as a team want to make LFS fun and worthwhile, making friends with people from all over the LFS community.

Many things are happening behind the scenes at the moment and we hope to present lots of changes to our makeup in the near future. For now however why not check out our "place-holder" website at www.vmaxsr.com and whilst you are there visit our forums. We are also always on the lookout for clean, respected, commited and quick drivers to join our team, so if you feel you meet this criteria feel free to PM me.

See you guys on track.

Chris - PR/Community Director

Oh no :doh:
I often make "weird joke", it's not arrogant things at all...

Ok I'll let you off....

Phlos,

Arrogance won't get you anywhere within the LFS community. 8 posts in 6 months, 6 of which have been in this thread. Need I say anymore?

Quote from Bob Smith :

Just had some racing, no problems. I think if you pick obscure servers like me, you're fine. Hooray for road cars and being unattractive to noobs.

Road cars at AS Grand Prix not only put off noobs, but they put off me too.

Prepares for insults. *Puts fingers in ear*

Quote from tristancliffe :

Also, can you handle your drink afterwards?

No I can't, is that a problem

Quote from thisnameistaken :

No, I'm saying that if you had a little invite-only thing going on, that would create a little clique of racers who might rarely be seen outside of their own private servers, and that would be a shame.

Right I understand, fair point too. However unfortunatly if it gets a real big problem something like this may be the only answer. The perfect solution is league races, always has been always will be.

I understand not everyone can do that though.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Chris: The only problem with something like that is that the rest of us would never see you, or the other participating racers, again!

I'm taking this as meaning that you feel that if someone did make a mistake within this server an had a disagreement they wouldn't use the server again.

What you have to ask yourself Kev is are people like this worth being in the same server anyway?

How about a group of us password a couple of servers and hand out the password to people who race clean and fair.

If enough people are asked, then the server would most likely be full.

In the event a wrecker getting into the server, everyone could trust each other to a point that when someone votes to ban, they have done it for a reason.

ATTENTION: WRECKER WEARING VMAX SKIN!

I'd watch your T7R recruits Fordman.

Guys, lets not turn this thread into a, I've seen wrecking, I've not, type of thread.

Fordman's obviously experienced this on more than one occasion. What can we do about it?

Quote from thisnameistaken :

To be honest I very, very rarely see deliberate wrecking on S2 servers. I do see a lot of inconsiderate driving though, and a lot of newbies joining servers full of fast guys and not actually trying to stay out of trouble.

Even saw one clown tonight join a server wearing a vMax skin. illepall

The wrecker was also wearing a T7R tag. Tristan.... I think that was his name. Poor Fordman, recruiting wreckers wearing other peoples skins.

I understand your point Fordman, I'm trying to get around it be adding as many respected LFS drivers to my buddy list on LFSW. Which I'm sure you've done.

However in the last couple of weeks I have had some of the best LFS races I've ever had in XFG and XFR servers. To me they tend to attract far more regular and respectable drivers compared to the FOX's and BF1 servers.

I do agree there seems to be an increasing small majority who revel in ruining peoples races. I reported one the other day in fact. I hope that this is just a current thing and they will get bored, I really do.

It's difficult, when someone's pushing you about you do get frustrated. Rising above it is a sign of the honest and decent racer.

Quote from Bob Smith :

Good idea, my only concern is making sure people don't get added to the ban list without good reason.

:iagree:

Funds taken into account, I would be happy to pay a little more if it meant that we could still go.

*Resists taking the piss* ^^^

Quote from Rappa Z :

Just make more servers.

Are you joking? Look how many servers are unused on LFS world right now. It's staggering. What a waste of money.

Well with Tunisia chuck away the slip now :P

I unlike many on here don't mind football. Even though I'm a Derby County supporter, it's like watching paint dry. Anyway... I think the best bet for the finals are Italy and Holland this time.

I don't know why, I've just got a feeling.

Congratulations...and celebrations.

*hums to myself*

An update to the in-race interface would go down a treat for me. You can never have enough info at your fingertips, although when I don't need it, I like the screen to be clear.

"The guys who WIN deserve rewarding."

That is what I meant. *puts foot in mouth*

Quote from col :

IMO the reasons for the lack of success in UK sport have nothing to do with 'this type of mentality' as you put it - but that's a whole different issue.

IMO Teachers in schools promote this mentality by telling kids that its the taking part that matters, breeding the mentality I was speaking of.

Quote from th84 :

None of the above!!! Root for Scott Speed!!!!

How about don't.

Just wait for Prodrive F1.

The guys who are fast, deserve rewarding.

It's this type of mentality, the type of taking part and creating an even playing field despite differences in ability, that means UK sport (in a lot of areas) are making up the numbers compared to other countries.
