We'll be running a test race this Sunday 10th July at 19:00 UTC+1 following the same format as the main event. There are 14 spots left on the grid so grab your space and join us!
On Sunday 17th July, we're hosting a 33 lap race at Westhill International (WE2) with the Formula XR (FOX). There will be 15 minutes of hardcore qualifying (no shift+p/s allowed). Interested?
To be allowed to participate in qualifying you must have a personal best of 1:54.00 or better.
You can set this at any time between now and the day of the race.

There is a way but it will take some getting used to.
You can set your throttle and brakes to the mouse Y axis and your steering to the mouse X axis.
To do this:
Set your controller to "wheel/joystick" (LFS > Options > Controls > At the top)
Set "Throttle / brake axes" to separate
Click the "Axes / FF" tab
Click "Steer"
On the right click "Mouse X"
Now click "Throttle"
On the right click "Mouse Y"
When you move your mouse from side to side you will steer and when you move your mouse forward and back you will gradually accelerate and decelerate. Note, you'll need to assign the brakes to a button. But that's horrible to be honest, here's a workaround:
If you want to accelerate and brake on the Y axis, set 'Throttle / brake axis' to combined and set the axes called 'Thr / Brk Combined' to 'Mouse Y' on the right. You will now be able to brake gradually by moving the mouse towards you from a central position, accelerate by moving it away from you and steer by moving it from left to right.
For example, when the mouse is all the way to the right and forward you will be turning hard right with full acceleration. When the mouse is central, you will be steering straight with no throttle or brake input. It's a lot to get your head around at first but I used to have a team mate who used this and he was really, really fast.
Soft-lock would be especially nice for those who use VR. It's very distracting when you know your hands are in a different place to what you're seeing. It's distracting enough when you're not in VR.
