Going to be emmigrating in the new year, and its just another thing on a long list of heavy and bulky luxuries that i cant justify taking

Gutted to have to sell it, means no more LFS for me as well, but here it is http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayI ... e=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=002

success ballast is a great idea, definately keep that idea for the future.

I have to say that whilst i enjoy racing the UFR, the UF1 offers a much more rewarding drive. The UFR has so much grip, it feels just like point and quirt alot of the time, the UF1 seems to require more finesse and smoothness to go fast (which is why i am slow ).

Best broadcast yet Becky, brilliant work. Smooth and very professional. Commentating was spot on, camera work was 100 times better than previous broadcasts and equivalent to coverage found on TV easily.

Constructive comments: I noted with some dissapointment that yet again drivers had changed their skins from previous races this season. The new skins look great, but from a casual observers perspective, it gives no continuity.

You wont be able to recreate this sound on an XRT, the reason the CGT sounds like it does is partly down to the engine rpms which afaik go to about 10,000rpm.

Playing LFS today, and twice the brake axis reversed halfway through a race. No warning, just suddenly reversed so i had to hold the pedal down to limp back to the pits. Never happened before today. The pedal works perfectly, no jumping or anything.

When i go into the options panel to correct it, once it corrected it no problems, the next time i went to fix it and it made no difference reversing the axis, it just stayed the same no matter what i did, until i restarted the application.

speed doesnt kill, but it reduces reaction times and certainly helps to kill once you hit something!

ive seen too many young lads (and ladies) mangled in car wrecks where the driver was showing off or just driving too fast. We like to think we can drive fast and safe but the reality is that the faster you go, the bigger the mess.

Speed will always fascinate people, but get over it, going fast on a road takes no skill, doesnt impress anyone, is pointless, and seriously increases the chance of you having an accident, and not walking away from it, not to mention putting other road users nearby in danger.

Going fast on a track takes skill, finesse, and control. Going fast on a public road takes big balls... and a small brain.

Sorry, is this a weiner showing contest, i can join in too? Unfortuantely i fear that any speed under 120mph is going to mean my weiner isnt as big as everyone elses here

black flags for cars that are very severely damaged but continue to try and race would be easy to do i imagine, and useful in removing some of the mobile chicanes that seem to prevail in the back markers

wow, i was at prescott last weekend and the best my little 106 can manage up that hill is about 58 seconds, by my reconing the Veyron made it up in 48 or so, which is quite alot faster!

i already did a very similar one from the previous years BMW entry

ive already started work on a new skin for this prospective new league

hahaha love the monty python skin

heres another one i made in a fit of sillyness, half of it is a satsuma and the other half is an apple. Its going to be the basis of another race skin of mine when another fun UF race series comes around

I just made this and used it on the rear of my XF GTi skin which is a replica of my own car in RL. Should make a cool addition to any road car based skins.

i missed the voting cos i was on hols, but id definately be up for a second season!

power boost, for people that cant overtake

Well, its back to racing pickup now on random servers, and its nowhere near as much fun as this last UF1 series has been

Will there be another series of UF1 racing this year, and if not, does anyone have any recommendations for any other series i might be able to enter that use UF1, XFG, TBO class etc?

theres plenty of time before the green light to turn the wheel side to side and find out if the wheels are straight

WOW!

What a great series, i tip my hat to all involved, drivers, admin, everyone. I had great fun and i really hope there is another series very soon!

looks like a great track still, bit of a lack of kerbs though! does that configuration include the old school corner, i couldnt pick it out from the footage?

well, i reverted back to the original wind file, because when driving an open topped car the wind soundfiles volume is increased and used to create cockpit windnoise, so it sounded as if a bird was perched right on your head!

i was only pulling your legs

Quote from Leifde :

Yeah, it was fun racing with you up until then. TBH I wasn't that consistent. I was hovering around 1:33.9 with the ocassional quicker lap and quite a few slighty slower. I'm amazed how you never managed to pass me though. I must have had to go round the outside about 5 times.

well, after i was penalised in the previous round for what i felt was a clean overtake on someone who wanted to hang onto a place by their fingernails and risk taking us both out the race rather than allow an overtake, i didnt want to risk anything other than an overtake which took me at least a car length ahead of someone before a corner. So i hung back a little and was very cautious waiting for you to make a big enough mistake so i could pass you on a straight and within the white lines (a big ask at FE2!). A shame because it should be all about close racing but rules are rules

i tried a number of ideas, i extended the original wind file (WindExternal.wav) using sound recorder, then mixed in some ambient bird noise. It works quite well, but only if you use recordings of a flock of birds, otherwise it sounds as if one bird is following you all around the track lol

The original wav file cant be much longer than about 16 seconds though, so you cant use anything that will be obviously repetitive. I used the sound of a flock of swifts
