most of the video footage is useless (too dark inside the race centre to be of any use )
However, I do have a great crash and the panned line up outside the centre . Will post a link as soon as I edit all the useless stuff out first.

Will keep you posted

Had a brilliant time and it was great to meet everyone. thanks to Tristan for organising the event (I was smiling btw because I was happy to be with you guys again and met some new LFS'ers, I love going to these events as it's always nice to actually meet some of the people you race online for real :tilt

Sorry for the late post, but wanted to get 2 things in one post and the 2nd has taken a while longer to sort out

1. 2008 UK meet was fantastic, Big thanks to Ben for organising a great event. Big sorry for my poor performance in Newcastle Town Saturday evening, I was actually hungover from the night before (had a few too many at the hotel after we checked in ) and I don't handle hangovers very well , so felt rough pretty much all day and night (and that was race day )
Still, met some great people and had some great races and chats. If you'd have said to me 6 years ago when I discovered this little gem called Live For Speed that I have adored ever since that I would be racing (in front of.......for a while.....then along side him........then a little behind him....then getting further bloody behind him.......) one of the developers of this amazing game I would have said ...No way..but I have and that is remarkable and true testament to the support they give to the LFS community. Thank you Victor for some great racing, I held you off for as long as I could....3 turns I think and to all the others who turned up (of whom there are too many to mention), had some great battles, but rarely knew who it was as all I could see was the occasional eyes).

2. 2009 UK Karting Meet - ALL DAY EVENT - 6 Hour Race

Basically as Jason (SR turkey) has already posted, I went down to Llandow Karting circuit today to see whether we could hire the circuit for the entire day with the option of staying for 2 nights at the circuit. So far the response has been very positive, they have agreed in principle that they would hire out the circuit for the day (cost permitting) which would include staying at the circuit for 2 nights. Assuming race day is saturday, that would be Friday and Saturday night at the circuit.
They have also agreed to the 6 hour team endurance race I suggested, again as jason said, there are 12 Karts, 3 in each team (1 of them SCAVIER maybe :shrug each driver does 3 x 40 minute stints (2 hours total race drive time each :nod. IF we get more interest than the approximated 36, then we simply add more drivers per team, but 36 is a good starting point for an all day event.

BTW -I had a little 'arrive & drive' while I was there, and I can confirm, it's a great track, nice, grippy surface, great for endurance

I have written a massively long e-mail to the Karting centre describing all our requirements should we wish to hold the event at Llandow to see what they can offer and at what cost. Hopefully this shouldn't be too much per head, especially when you consider that accomodation and food & drink will be taken care of. All you have to do is get there .

Will post more details as soon as.....

Can we have it in our proper LFS names, like [SR] Mark etc?

LFS Username - ferret
Ingame Name - [SR] Mark
Team - Sonicrealmsracing

Open wheel & Multi Car league

excellent post Hallen

Now that should end this thread !! as it answers the original question perfectly.

Nuff said.

Nope, same problem....

Team : Sonicrealms Racing

Driver #1 : [SR] Turkey
Driver #2 : [SR] Mark

Reserve Driver : [SR] Weed

+1 - The more real the better

My G25 has recently been doing the same as you describe , so I'm sending it back and getting a new one. But this may be an inherent problem with the wheel and may happen to more people in future? Hope it doesn't happen to me again though, it's a lot of money to pay for a wheel that may have an inherent fault.

LFS will only start getting old when the developers stop developing. For me the thing that keeps me playing LFS is the fact that I have total faith in the dev team to keep making LFS better. I have been around for 4 years on LFS now and am still amazed at how good this sim is.

You know when something is right, like Elite was or Geoff crammonds grand prix in the 'old' days. well for me, the only team I will be following till the end is the LFS team.

Nothing out there even comes close in my eyes, period.

BF1 league running atm - feel free to join in

You see, you missed an important update on the site - LFS Manual link

I know but my first port of call is always LFS main site first, then forum, but the link has moved up one from where it has been for so long that I always press LFS manual by accident now

I've been clicking on the LFS Forum link from the main LFS site for so long now that my hand that holds the mouse goes to the exact pixel location of the link!!

NOT Now though!!! Now it goes to LFS Manual - Aint that weird, my eyes can see the link is wrong, but my hand wants to click it illepall

There is a BF1 league starting soon :-

www.sonicrealmsracing.co.uk

visit the forum section for more info

It's not exclusively NO TC but you may find lots of fun & challenging racing there.

that's what I was kinda getting at, will there be any changes due to the higher precision of the wheel etc?

sorry, did I put it in the wrong place? :something

Sorry, just trying to cheer things up around here

Have you gone and ordered the new G25 yet? You can't possibly be still using your Red Momo surely

Sometimes when I am trying to type something, or shift 'r' or 's' during a race I inadvertently press other combinations by accident e.g. shift 'd' or something!! Sometimes the 'mistaken' combination I have pressed changes a setting ingame, and as I don't (as I am sure most of us dont) know all of the keyboard shortcuts by memory, I can't remember what buttons I have inadvertently pressed to reset back as it was before the keys were pressed (as my attention is on the road and not down at the keyboard). i hope you understand what I am trying to say

What we need is a 1 button 'PANIC' button that resets all settings to as they were at startup.

Just a simple idea

Sonicrealms Racing (SR) are a team from Wales (Cardiff) (originally founded by myself and KayJay) and not necessarily a Welsh team. In theory anyone can be a member of the (SR) team but at the moment we are just a bunch of friends who decided to put a team of some sort together to at least have a presence in LFS. The reason why our site is quiet is that it was a project at college that Tongey was doing. Tongey has assured us that once he has sorted himself a job out and settled in he will go back to updating the site some more

As for having a Welsh team, I think at some point in the future (maybe by the time S2 full is released) there should be teams of Nations i.e England, Scotland, Wales, N.Ireland, France, Germany etc.. but at the moment there doesn't seem to be anyone going down this road yet.

It is a good idea though don't you think?

p.s If you look online you will see us racing all the time confirming we are alive and kicking and still going strong

just go to a DIY store (B&Q or similar) and buy wheel replacement Feet specifically for use with wood or laminate flooring, they cost a couple of quid but work wonders

Regardless of whether Top Gear is any good, it is still one of the most (probably THE most) watched Car Programme there is and would certainly help LFS's exposure. However, I think that LFS's selling point is primarily the RACING (online) and it would be this that should be stressed when attempting to gain exposure through a TV Programme like Top Gear.

JC drove around GT4 on his own trying to discover whether his lap times were comaprable with a real cars lap time. Pointless in doing the same again with LFS and impossible (unless of course he drives one of the 'real' cars in LFS in real life. But they have not tried racing! especially online or over LAN. Now that would be exciting to see. It could certainly fill a 5 minute slot and still remain entertaining I think.

Tristan,

Would it be OK if another member of our team (SR) came along?

That would mean 4 of us would attend, which could equate to 2, 2 man teams.

I also have another possible person who would be interested if his money situation is Ok - TBA

Would he be able to come? that would then mean 5 of us, so a 3 man, 2 man team would be possible.

We all play LFS so there are no 'friends' in this list, all team members.

I know it's late in the day and would understand if they could not come along, but if numbers are needed then we may be able to help.

To sum up - We have 1 definite who wants to come and 1 who is unsure (will know by weekend).

Thanks, looking forward to the event
