Hello, I have just applied to join the OWRL. This will be my first ever league partcipation. I just wondered how long an application takes to be reviewed.
I can't say my race was as enjoyable. Qualified on Pole, and was leading at lap 40 before getting in a three way battle with [gFsC] Zero and Easy_E which resulted in me being catapulted into the wall. On retriveing the sitution some seconds adrift, I then somehow got tangled with Krusty , then being thrown over the pit wall barrier giving me a stop go penalty to add to my frustrations. After finally resting in the pits having been thrown 100's of metres inthe air, I quickly realised I had a broken rear suspension so immediatatly pitted some 8 laps short of my original stratagy (11th after pit). I then drove right until 2 laps before my next scheduled stop to take my stop-go penalty (Now 7th). I pitted in, parked my car then as I moved my legs for some space hit the throttle. Penatly cancelled. GREAT!. Went round the track, did it again. Then round the track again and Pitted. Somehow I rejoined 7th still and with some drivers ahead of me still needing to pit. (T-Evo) Andy was then a lap down but we agreed to help each other draft which we did really well for a few laps. Then on Lap 120-odd my tires started to lose grip, and I spun.
From sheer frustration I then went to spectate, as I was disappointed no to be at the front.
However dispite my race, the whole meet was planned and admin'd very very well. Thanks for the effort.
In my opinion, it's just common sense. Dirty tires = being conservative for a while.
I don't see the huge fuss with the physics full stop. I know its a simulator and the need to add as much realism as possible but I think we've got an awesome game now to be quite honest.
As a pretty new player of the game, I have got to say that in the whole gaming world I have never seen an online community as advanced as LFS. Look what resources are avaliable to you as a racer...unbelievable. Leagues News, Forums, Teams, Mods, do I need to go on?
Okay it may not have the graphics of GTR but you didn't buy this for the graphics, you bought it to race online.
