I would love for there to be a power-cut at the track half way through.
But seriously, I think it could be a very interesting race and I'm defintely going to be watching it.

I get the exact same problem - almost all other games it's absolutely fine, but whatever the settings on LFS, whethers there's other cars around me or not, the FPS always drops to about 8/9, and it's the same if I slow it down.
And assuming my engine doesn't die terminally for the 3rd meeting in a row...
PS Tristan, car up and running again yet?
Great looking skin, but WinRar says file is corrupt
Danowat, have you considered the Red Dragon Racing Mk1 MR2 series? That's what I run in and the cost for a season in it is less than what you had in mind for the Stock Hatch.
You can get a good fully prepped car for about £2k, sometimes even less. There's a great, friendly group of people who race in it and we do all the major tracks - Silverstone, Brands, Caddy, Snet, Mallory, Rockingham. The racing is very close wherever you are in the field and there's always a good tussell to be had. And the best bit is that if you bend it, you can more than often wack it out with a large hammer, some brute force and a bit of ignorance, or if you need to, you can get spares from eBay or a scrappy.
It's simply the cheapest form of track motorsport around which is why we did it. I really, really enjoy it, the cars are a joy to drive, especially when's there's 20 more of them next to you!
Have a look at www.MR2Racing.com, the offical website for the series. I've also put a load of in-car footage from the races up on Youtube, here; http://www.youtube.com/user/Gassolinebonce
Feel free to PM me if you want any more in-depth info or anything

Awesome Lynce, although I think it would be better without the block of white text...?
What an idiot, get the job done first then save the silly celebrations for afterwards.
Nope, we're part of the Red Dragon Race and Track Club. The 750 MR2s are mainly Mk2s, we're Mk1s. We're at Snett on the 19th October.
Tristan, superbly well done on winning the Championship, an awesome feat for your first full year of competing. Shame about the off, from watching the vid it didn't look like much could have been done once the spin had begun. Before that though, was really impressed with your driving and car control in those horrid conditions.
I spent about half an hour at Cadwell on that Sunday searching the length and breadth of the paddock trying to find Monoposto car #41, without success. Now I can see why!
My MR2 races at Cadwell were a non-event, we'd had a newer replacement engine fitted to the MR2 as last time out at Mallory the old one was very, very unwell. So for Caddy I was really hopeful, but about 4 laps into qualifying the "new" engine died completely after sounding like a bag of industrial size nails and having no conceivable performance. We stripped it down in the paddock, only to find a big end bearing was shot, a conrod was bent, as were a couple of valves and the head was damaged. So didn't even get to race, which was frustrating.
Roll on Snett though, where I expect we'll both have fresher cars.

I'd love to see Button in Lewis' car for one race to see what he's really capable of, which I'm sure is a lot more than we've ever seen of him.
Ooo, that's very good!
I assume it's still on the server list, but just empty. The last post on the BTCC guys' forum was on 30th August, so not much activity it seems.
Shame, was one of the best racing servers around. Although it'll only take a few people to join before it starts picking up critical mass and become popular again.

I'll use the bump to my advantage, I'm in!
It's like in real life - when you turn the TC off in a car a big warning light appears on the dash to remind you it's off. When you turn it back on, the lights goes off and calm is restored.
I had a go at that Lomo Photography effect thing on P'shop. Turned out alright for a first attempt I think...
More or less.
Talking of left foot braking, which is what I do, I managed to snap my brake pedal today after hours of constantly slamming it down. 5 minutes, ingenuity and a bit of gaffa tape later, and it's all sorted
Thanks for the quick response Lynce, and now I can really see how much work goes into each and every one, simply mind-boggling!
Lynce, would it be possible to see one of the original, un-edited screenshots from those of the XRG?
Krauklis, I love that "Cars Edition" one, made me laugh. And Lynce, they're stunning. Love that second to last one especially.
Couple more from me, apologies for size of first one.

As long as you've got them set to "Pro" difficulty, then no, you can't get them any faster.
I was testing the AI the other day, and one thing I noticed was that if you dived up the inside of them on a corner, they wouldn't give up their line at all which would normally result in contact, but if you made a very ambitious attemp around the outside then the minute you draw along-side them, they'd chicken out and go cower in a corner.
Oh, hi Jay!
Oh, hi Jay!
Another one from me entitled "Moody". Any ideas why? 
I had a look before I posted and couldn't find a similar poll...?
Keep the votes coming!
And hi Jay / Pipa!

That's a good point Android, is it possible to edit the poll to add that to it?
