Well actual F1 has such a rule that you have to use same tyres in qualifying and race. But that would be league dependent.

Quote from Vendetta :Whenever im close behind a car and im entering a turn that involves heavy braking, i tend to move a bit to the site so im not directly behind them incase they brake early.

And that's the right thing to do, but many poeples are not so cautious. And then brake lights will not help.

Driving cautiously when you're behind someone would also help, and i think it's more the problem of this. Most driversdrive to aggressively behind someone, and if you're right behind someone and he brakes you most probably crash into him because you're reaction time isn't fast enough. Even brake lights wouldn't help there.

Well i hope that most people brake before the car in front of them is getting bigger, otherwise we would see a Sato-Schumacher like crash all the time

It's not only a low visibility light (that has to be turned on in wet/rain conditions) but also a light that shows if the rev limiter is on. You can see it every time when a car drives through the pits.

Real Wheater would be a real nice feature espacially for leagues. For the unracebale condition, i think it would lie in the hands of the pilots to decide wether they're driving or not. The difference between simdriving and rldriving is that we don't have to think about our life an the dangers, so you could possibly try to drive in very nasty conditions. But as blackout said: It's way to early to talk about this.

Well i don't know how it is in other countries, but here the costs of broadband internet (DSL) are much less expensive then it would be if ure using ISDN or 56.6 internet connections, because it's flatrate, so i think that this would save money and not be more expensive. For the rest: I think it could be possible for most racers to bye a wheel, they're not so expensive anymore as they used to be, for 25 euro's you already get a cheap one without FF (Actually i already saw FF wheels for approximative 50 euros).

Quote from tpa :

1. You will never get a fast lap, just because of luck in every corner. LFS is all about skill and pratice (= time). If you want to be fast, you have to pratice hard and a lot.

2. And once you have invested enough time to be competitive and go online to have fun races with other equally enthusiastic racers, your race is spoiled by some idiots that are pissed off because of their inability to keep their cars on the track... you have to understand that people will become angry at these idiots.


First of all, i also can't understand the behaviour we saw here:
Then we are mad ... and wreck them of the track.

1. Completely agreed. It's about practice, and you can learn a great deal when you just take a look at other more experienced racers on how they drive, where they brake and how they attack corners.

2. Not completely agreed. Well it's simple to say you have to practice offline and when you're good go online. But it's an online simulator, so you can't just tell people to stay offline until they're good. It's also possible to drive online, even if you're not good (fast), and drive clean. I think one will learn faster if he drives online and take a look at the other drivers then to learn by himself offline. Being a slow or a fast driver has nothing to do with being a clean one. What newbies have to understand is only that in the beginning it's probably more important trying to keep the car on track even if they're slow, cause i'd like to think that there isn't such a thing like ' inability to keep the car on track'. It's only a matter of how fast you're going and where you're limit of car control is. Ie if you drive BWGP with a GTI sey at constant 50 kp/h it's hard to crash, no? So it all comes down to your speed. Well it's clear that most poeple try to push, even in the beginning, and that accidents are a logical cause of this.

A picture of last ESCC Race with som Motion Blur effect, not a great thing, looks like the phoyographer wasn't fast enough to take a proper image

That's something that happened also to me, but in a different form. i cross the pit exit line and the game says that i quit the pit. then i push the accelerator and get a drive throug.
