Allright...see, I have 2100 GMT for a start time so its not too late for Europe, and not too early for Oceania. Heh, if I had it my way, it would be 1600 GMT.

Quote from Davo :

No excuse for me, I slept in

Ah, well. Could you tell me though, what time is 2100 GMT in Australia? I am thinking about 8 am?

In real life, everyone thinks pillar gauges are the bee's knee's until they bounce their head off of them in an accident.

-1. Silly.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

Technically, I am the only driver residing in North America in the STCC <.<. Chris is a neato person who moved to the UK.

Thats true! In fact, Chris used to live quite near me!...well, near insofar as Illinois is concerned.

Quote from ZORER :

I think someone else got disconnected after you too. That was really an unlucky thing.

The race was a disaster for me i even got lapped by my own gt3 class cars. i can't find a reason other than blaming my setup..)i'm not a fast guy but not that slow too).i was damn slower in the race because i tried to make the setup better for the long race but it got worse i couldn't even get more than about a second closer to my pb whole race...I'm soo sad i didn't ever have a bad result like this before.

Anyways i managed to make it to the finish.


Thank you Jayhawk.

Not a problem. Like I said, you followed the rules, and that impresses me more than anything. Plus, becaue alot of people didnt show up, you have points like if you placed in third. Plus! there are many more races coming up. The people who win in this league are the ones who stick it out through every race. I mean, it could be possible to finish in the top three for the season in your class, but place fourth or fifth in every race...it all depends on who wants to "tough it out" for the long haul over the course of the season.

Color is excellent, but the bloom...oh dear.

Bryan, take it from a person who took every drug imaginable, plus having a bit of a heroin problem...they arent worth it; its stupid and boring. Nothing compares to getting high from doing exciting things, and not from taking E and feeling like a moron, or smoking weed and just being lazy and stupid, or taking heroin, feeling great for about 1 minute and then shitting your pants and puking your guts out.

Bryan, do you like to read? If so, check out this book: http://www.lastopenroad.com/finzios/books.htm

Let us try again.

1)Go to this site: http://www.fraps.com/download.php

2)Set up screen shot mode how you want it. Personally, I use F10. The image will be saved as .bmp file. Those are evil and possibly conceived by nazi communists.. Convert them to a .jpg for the love of God and all free nations whom enjoy liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

3)Once you capture a screen shot, edit its size in Photoshop. If you do not have Photoshop, I suggest using GIMP: http://www.gimp.org/

4)if you want to upload it here, make sure its size is under 1.95 MegaBytes. Or, you can use a free uploading site like Imageshack: http://www.imageshack.us/

All these site have free software, aka freeware.

Quote from Vain :

Can someone upload the replay somewhere? I'd like to do some diagnostics to see what the problem is.

Vain

I uploaded ot to my website, for the moment the site is having a quite a time recognizing it.

Well, this how it went down:


We started off with 11, but 2 dropouts and 1 internet connection loss made it 8. RevengeR just took over and nearly flawlessly chugged on through all 40 laps. There were some great battle in GT2 at the begining, and GT3 had some battles that I was hard pressed to stop watching!

For the first race, I was very impressed! It was a bit silly on the first lap, the pace car lap, but I saw that turn one was executed by EVERYONE flawlessly. Good job!! Of course, there were bumps, scrapes, flying cars......but everyone that raced, even if they dropped out, did so within the rules. That really impressed me. You gentleman did a fine job, and was overall to me, a great race.

POINTS:

GT1:
RevengeR - 10 points
Cawwa - 8 points
Bo Kristiensen - 6 points
Scipy - 1 point

GT2:
Cropsy - 10 points
Locovich - 8 points
javiF - 1 point

GT3:
Hyperactive - 10 points
Michael Denham - 8 points
zorer - 6 points
Vain - 2 points

Results will be posted later on the website. Two people disconnected voluntarily, but showed up and raced some laps so they receive 1 point. One person got disconnected involuntarily, so they get 2 points.

Discuss the race here.

Nice to see a FXO, RB4 and XRT in the top three. Also better to see an American there, too!

I think Westhill club would be a fun idea. Probably could have some fun, close racing with the road cars there.

Quote from Iasonas :

Again, im a complete noob and know nothing!
Thanks for any response i get, i did do a search and couldnt really find anything helpful. Also if this helps, i use Mouse for gas and break and KB for rest and i always play in 3rd person view, dunno if this is bad or not.

Well, you I see you presently are on Swain, which is the best drift server out there. Hang out with the regulars and it will fall into place.

Also, save up for a wheel.

I really like the server, and I am in the mindset that a full grid of UF1's is probably the most intense, close, insane racing you will see in Live For Speed

Thanks for the "helping hands", but for this race I will worry about being a pace / safety car. I will be very honest; I am not a really trusting person, but once you gain my trust, I will trust the person without a doubt. Soon I will have a signup sheet for volunteer race stewards whom will have admin host powers. For now, I think my tab button will get a good beating.

If you would like to spectate, PM and I will give you the server password. My only stipulation is That there will be no talking / chatting / spamming / flooding during the race. The reason why is that it can very distracting to a driver, and I want to ensure that everyone who is racing will have no troubles, so they can enjoy and concentrate on the race.

I do not have spectator or noob TV yet, they along with LFS lapper are ideas I am still tossing about in my head.

I will be on the server at or around 1900 GMT, my LFS "name" will be Race_Marshall.

To everyone who is participating: Thank you VERY much for helping this league get off the ground, and for my idea to become reality. Already I have people asking about my other idea, the LeMans Lite, which I hope will be a hit, too. Lets all hope you have a fun time, with many close battles and spectacular finishes. Oh, and no crashes on turn one.

You might get a kick out of this: Burt "BS" Levy, author of the book "The Last Open Road" made up some funny interpretations of flags:

GREEN: The course is clear! Start Racing! (unless you already have).

YELLOW: Someone else has screwed up for a change! Possible primo overtaking opportunity!

DOUBLE YELLOW: Slam on your brakes immediately without checking your mirrors. Whoevers behind you will think twice about ever passing you again!

BLUE: Theres somebody right behind you trying to get past. Turn down your mirrors and block like hell!

YELLOW/ORANGE STRIPES: Check your oil pressure gauge. You might not have any.

WHITE: Slow moving or emergency vehicle ahead. Proceed at full speed and see how close you can come without hitting it.

BLACK: Either the fellow just ahead of you or the one behind has done something bad. Also known as the "Who, me?!?" flag.

BLACK/ORANGE ROUNDEL: (meatball) Something has fallen off your car. Slow down and look for it.

RED: The person you hit has spun and caught fire and is blocking the track, so the race has to be stopped.

CHECKER: Time to start thinking up excuses!

Well, I made this just to be on the safe side...I think I may just use it.

Most of the laps he put in are at Blackwood or Aston Club with the FOX....interesting....I smell a RR server dispute.




Maybe.

I think we can agree on this:

Men get into accidents because they are risk takers.

Women get into accidents because they are indecisive.

Quote from DaveWS :

I love the way even Irish people admit being stupid, and even mock themselves.

You win. Funniest post of the day goes to DaveWS.

Quote from jamesrowe :

Woke up and looked out of my window to see:

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow (ahh its good living on the North Downs in England )

Isnt that alot of snow for your part of Britain?

Quote :

So I ask you guys, is something wrong with me? Is it a physiological thing inside of me? Or do I have O.C.D? Or am I simply a car obsessed teenager?

Nothing wrong at all. You are passionate and intrigued by the automobile. I fell in love with cars about age 12, and now I am 31. What is great is when you happen upon another car nut like yourself. you have this...bond with them.

Cars are sexual, powerful, beautiful, coy and unattainable...just like a woman. And as you get older, your tastes in cars, like women, change too. Right now you probably have quite a love affair with that Supra! I remember when I was around your age it was the Porsche 959...what a vehicle.
Right now I am starting to appreciate sports cars from 50-60 years ago, or cars that are just pure art, like a Bugatti T57. That is sex on wheels for me. Sometimes it is not the power, but the design of them, like Alfa Romeos; you can tell the person(s) who designed them really deeply love the automobile. Or sometimes I like the boldness and flamboyancy of the design, like old Citroen or TVR's.
But I do love the power cars can generate; I remember driving a 1964 Pontiac Catalina SD with a 421 with 3 4 barrels on it, and a 4 speed manual. It was so ....raw, the car shuddered and snarled like a feral animal was underneath the hood wanting to kill me. I could FEEL the power through my body, like it was something alive and channeling its energy into me.

Alright, I'll stop babbling...for now.

I am a midfielder, also. That way, I can watch the chaos of turn one in front of me and (usually) survive.

I like being in the middle, it gives me an incentive to try harder.
