Quote from LordBlaster :

this will be the first time i´ll race on the oval

A few friends and I tried it with the UF1. It was a proper giggle

Quote from DHRammstein :

What exactly is a cruiser? Still kinda new to playing online sorry, I've seen this mentioned a lot, and I'm not really sure what it means. I'm thinking people that just... cruise around the track?

Lol, you got it dude

Why? Who knows..........

The disadvantage being it doesn't feel right with such small wheel turns on other combos.

Try the RB4 on FE RX with 720 steering, cockpit, h-shifter, clutch etc, it's soooooooo good

I was lucky enough to match that set up with a race frame and a 50" LCD telly, c'est magnifique

I've not driven the GTR's much since patch Y, but I'm sure they're well hard with a similar set (albeit 540 deg steering)

Quote from SamH :

We have a plan, sir! We're now running all tracks on Race 2 and Race 3. We'll see how it goes for a week or so

Excellent, I know what I'm doing for the next few evenings then

Apart from the wee diddy tracks mentioned earlier (AS1, FE1, SO3) I don't see why we shouldn't have the rest in the mix for Race 3 (KY1 is also out for both servers, obviously!)

Race 2 can have the lot, apart from KY1.

I look forward to trying the RAC on FE4R

A bold and well thought out OP, but to be honest I am with the rest of the respondents on this one.

I don't have the time some other racers do (yes I'm jealous ), to dedicate themselves to hauling in the points, but I've had my targets set on Platinum (18% to go) and National A (8% to go) for some time now. The vast majority of my LFS time is spent trying to attain these goals

If the CTRA bods decided I had to return to the starting rung I'd seriously loose the plot :wtf2: and disappear off to GTR land again on another server.

I'm eternally grateful to the CTRA for opening my eyes up to racing in cars other than the GTR's and I'm now a committed TBO and SS fan as well.

A quote from Alien T:
"My goals in CTRA were to reach Platinum and National A, now that I have reached that I no longer race striving for points, this actually make LFS more enjoyable for me as I can race on other servers without thinking I am missing out on CTRA points, if that makes any sense?"

Thats where I want to be, and to be able to go GTR racing on Race 3.

So, nice try, but no cigar

EDIT : Gold and above drivers should be banned from Race 1 imo. Possibly the same with National A and SS1?

Press the Multiplayer tab, then on the next screen at the bottom right is 4 tabs (private, empty etc) Click them to your satisfaction

A big no to reducing the number of tracks from me. Thats half the fun jumping onto a fresh combo and trying to get up to speed quickly.
Or every so often when a favourite comes up and you can pick up more points than average

I quite fancied a shot at representing my country, mostly due to patriotic reasons but also because I might just be good enough not to be a handicap

Aint never going to be good enough for a combined GB team tho

Plus, if our faster drivers had signed up, we may actually have done quite well!

Hey ho.

Well done lad, good going

But where is this mysterious Millward you speak off?

Poor show

So we may not have had the largest or most competitive team?Doesn't seem like a reason for excusion to me.

Quote from amp88 :

Hi, looking for suggestions for good tyres in the West Central Scotland area. Was looking at 205/50 R17 Toyo Proxes T1-Rs on blackcircles.com for £110 including VAT & fitting. Any better suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

I found them for £102 on line for my 225/45 R18's.

Ordered up from down south, here in 2 days time

Quote from Luke.S :

how can you get the angle of the wheel to be the smae as the angle of the car wheel in lfs eg 61" on the g25 61" on the lfs car wheel?

1. Set the Logitech profiler to the required degrees
2. Match this in the in-games options
3. Set wheel turn compensation to 0 (or something like that, I'm at work and can't remember the exact name for the slider) found in the in-game options
4. Ta da

Quote from tristancliffe :

It's too scary venturing that far north where public tossing is encouraged.

I hope yer referring to our caber fetish

It's a craking track to race on, done a few track days there in the past.

Quote from Gnomie :

There's your punishment for not using the H-shifter like real men. And now you have no choice!

Lol, only in the SS races for the paddles tho. Full cockpit, h-shifter and manual clutch in the road cars

My previous wheel lasted for c10yrs, so I doubt the damage is attributable to wanton abuse. Although in the heat of the moment you never know........

Cracking piece of kit, but disappointed it hasn't lasted more than 3 months before the left hand (downshift) paddle has stopped working
:evil:

Aye why not. I'm up for a bit of that

I've often thought we should map some real roads.

How about the A82 from Crianlarich to Fort William, E along Glen Spean to Dalwhinnie then back along the N side of Loch Tay to hook up at Crianlarich again

Ok so its about 50 miles or so........but the roads are class

Quote from March Hare :

John Smith? Isn't he the guy who goes out with Pocahontas?

I put my real name on the CTRA! Now the FBI CIA NSA IRS ATF BBC CNN MI6 KGB SAS Mossad YLE IAEA and the others are gonna get me!

Hold on there's someone at the door.

You obviously have nothing to hide........

:inq:


Nah, seriously it's good that only sensible(ish!) names are used, it only takes another click to find the LFS nickname/username.

Quote from VoiD :

Sounds good and respectfull, but feels like "John Smith".

Lol, we have 2 called <ahem> John Smith in Scotlands rankings

Could well become 3 if I ever have to change mine

Quote from Viper93 :

My question to people, what is the problem with real names?

I don't want to be able to google my name and a link appears to directly me or any of my on-line activities. Simple really.

This issue has raised itself on other forums/platforms and I had to go change my user ID's there as well.

Under no circumstances would I use my real name in such a location.

<sits here in tinfoil hat.......they're coming to take me away, ha ha >

Quote from March Hare :

I got 147 points yesterday (endurance FTW!) for just cruising around the FE Gold in the XRT. And you say you have tweaked the points even more?
Platinum here I come!

I was first in my class but I was the only one who finished.
There was an FXO driver but he ran out of petrol. There were two LRF drivers too.

I was in the lead the whole time and I did get several new PBs. Which is now only about 3 seconds from the lap record.

That was me in the FXO I thought for some reason it was 9 lap race, not the enduro 13 lapper on FE3R.

Managed to complete the next two races before I was randomly disconnected in the middle of my third race. Not to worry, my dinner was ready anyhoo

I also landed 140+ pts for being the first TBO car home, with no yellows. Rather bizzarely on the next race (under so far as I can tell, identical circumstances) I only got 66 pts.

I've not done many enduranace races so I'm not sure how this fairs to the norm, but I was sure grateful for the quick points haul

See you there soon, fellow Race 2 fans

Brilliant

So much more entertaining than the F1 dross

Watched the highlights packages Fr-Sun on Eurosport, that man Loeb is untouchable - again.

It will be interesting to see how Sweden goes next......
