Well i've only got the concept so far but I have to say i'm quite impressed.

My only problem is that when all the driving aids are off (which should be the law really!) it's very hard to drive without a wheel. I was in the top 10 for quite a few cars at one point but then i tried it with the controller and it seems to be massive understeer and then snap oversteer at every corner! Very difficult to drive without a wheel.

IF you can't keep a simple clutch from overheating then you really have some problems with your driving skill

Lift off - And Upshift , It's not that bloody hard!!!!!

I've had the patch for about a week and a half now and only burned 1 clutch from about 600 miles of driving!

I race karts but that doesn't really count


However good LFS is, it will never simulate the effects of actual driving, and i don't see a game ever doing that, but it's still bloody good fun!

Well i'm just in the process of choosing a kart at the moment mate, i've had a lot of driving in al lsorts of races though

I'm probably going to ge getting a Rotax Max (if i can afford it!). I race at Warden Law, it's a great circuit! I've heard Rowrah is pretty good too, i'll bring my kart up some day and check it out

P.s Here is a small and poor pic of the circuit

If your coming up north, I can recommend my local circuit:

Warden Law - A.K.A Karting North East

Features one of the hardest corners currently around on kart circuits and a great track to drive. Good mixture of slow & fast corners.

Can be found at www.kartingnortheast.co.uk

I might see you there

well its either gonna be a console or a proper lfs rig other than my awful desk. ive been looking at playseats and also the gameracer that im currently swaying towards.

Quote from 96 GTS :

Yes it has a USB port, but no, the DFP won't work with it, I've tried. If you do want a wheel though, the actual Microsoft wireless FF wheel is pretty good.

Hmmmm, that's a real bummer isn't it

I was also thinking about a ps3 but ive seen a lot of negative reviews from it from people saying it's hardly any better than the xbox and the online play is rubbish

Which console do you guys have, what would you recommend? £400 is a lot to spend on a games console so it's gonna have to be a lot better than the xbox for me to consider getting the ps3


And also , is there a cable you can get for a 360 to accatch it to an LCD Pc monitor?

Hey guys, I'm thinking of getting an xbox 360 but would like to know one thing before i buy one...

Does it have a USB port and will my Logitech DFP work with it?

Cheers lads

Another team bites the dust lol , that lasted for what ? 3 weeks

I'll get over it lol

That was one of the best races i have ever seen. Those opening 3 laps or so had my crying with laughter i've never seen anything like it.

That camera shot in the gravel at turn 1 was amazing, car after car flying into the stuff, Liuzzi came in full speed lol.

Seeing the Spyker of Winkelhock leading was great as well , if the safety car hadn't been deployed he would ahve been very interesting to watch.

Too bad for Kimi though, he looked odds on to close Hamilton's championship lead but yet another mechanical problem for Ferrari stopped that.

Anyway, great race!

i'm sure it's been mentioned before but an LMP1/2 car would be great fun to drive and it would add alot to endurance races.

Does anyone know if Lewis is starting the race today?

Here's my background. Stole the pic from the screenshots section lol

TBH if he does race tomorrow i don't think he will be able to do much in terms of overtaking. IN silverstone we saw Massa fly through the back 12 or so drivers but as soon as he hit the BMW's, the aerodynamics struggled and he was stuck behind them collecting all of the 'warm' air they were releasing.

I'm not a Lewis Hamilton fan so i'm allways going to be arguing against him but we shall se if he races tomorrow what he is capable of.

this is a great opportunity for Kimi and Fernando to claw some points back on his championship lead now.

This will probably end lewis' 'podium in every race' trend.

Owch that looks nasty

glad youre ok mate

+1

I really like this idea should help newcomers get to grips with each car on different types of corners.

It could be called the 'Skills Loop' lol

I can't wait to check this out tomorrow

Yeah those bell ones look really nice, especially in red



I like the sparco wind tunnel tested ones, they have a great shape allthough im not sure if they are specifically designed for karting. i'm stuck with a lovely looking John Reynolds AGv at the moment but im looking to get an Arai if i can afford the custom paint job!

90% of the time LFS!!!!!!

And others,
a bit of
Rfactor
Richard Burns rally
Batracer (great browser game)
and of course any football fan cannot be without
Football manager 07 - which is probably the most depressing game ever made. Spending hours setting up your team tactics only to be thrashed by Stevenage can take it's toll . I hate it so bad but i'm addicted to it!!!

wow!!! those photos are amazing!!! I have a pretty decent camera and i can't manage to capture anything as good as that the resolution is immense and every photo is crystal clear!

Great work!

He hasn't left i don't think

lol shut it poo face

How anyone can drive in the tail view is beyond me, keep the forced cockpit it's a simulation!!
