This may sound like a stupid question but, I have no experience with PHP and I would love to be able to place ramps inside one another to create some layouts. Question therefore being, how do you do this and what program is required to make it work?
Congrats to this weeks winners!

Tonights Mini-Comp layout is on the server, come and have a play!!
Full Retard Mini(Drift)-Comps
Hi All. we run weekly Mini-Comp's on the our server Full Retard Drift Club. details below;
As before, the judging is not biased in any way. We don't care who wins, from whichever team. We give up our Friday night to encourage good drifting and sportsmanship and credit is given where its due. I for one LOVE to see the underdogs suprise the well known crowd Mini-Comps are a great way for people to show their full potential with a guaranteed audience
You are judged on the following for Qualifying:
Points out of 100 are distributed between clipping points, speed, angle, consistency and not straightening. You get 2 runs. The score from your best run is the one we use.
Clipping point Rules:
Front clips are not to be hit. Rear clips can be clipped. Not smashed through with half your car through them. The rear of your car gracefully clips them. Most of our rear clips are marked by a blue chequered area for which you have to plant the arse of your car in.
If you smash a front clip, spin, straighten etc - you get a Big Fat Zero. (But that doesn't necessarily mean you are out of the comp! Don't rage quit!)
We then give you all 10 minutes free practice before the Twin Battles begin, so we have time to sort out who qualified and calculate the twin battle pairings.
You are judged on the Twin Battles thus:
Each run has 10 points available between the two cars. If both cars run the same - they each get 5 points for the run.
If one car spins, crashes, straightens, causes unavoidable contact - the fail car gets Big Fat Zero. The non-fail car gets 10 points.
There is then a sliding scale between the two. If one car does slightly better (ie: closer to clips, more consistent angle, speed etc) then the better car gets 6, 7, 8 or 9 points (depending on how much better they do), whilst the lesser car gets 4, 3, 2 or 1 points (again, dependent on how much worse they do).
If we simply can't decide, or both people make large mistakes on each run - the we have to go 'One More Time' which basically means the battle has to start again. But you are NOT to reset your cars/tyres. Smokey smokey slippy slidey.
Please note; If you wish to take part, please make sure you are available to compete for at least 1 - 1.5 hours. There is nothing more annoying than setting everything up then somebody drops out and ruins the Twin Battle calculations.
We don't mind spectators, the server has plenty of slots - but there is no messing around. You will get kicked (or worse) if you disrupt the Competition by un-pitting, or talking through the runs distracting the competitors.
And as I'm not doubt sure Cross will tell you through the comp - No Talking During Runs.
Hope thats covered everything, if you have any questions please post up or PM me on here.
Hope to see you Friday nights!
Edit:
Extra server is up:
Will sometimes be private for Team events/Competitions - but one or the other will ALWAYS be public

We keep spreadsheets throughout the Competition so that all details and runs are recorded for scoring purposes. These twin battles determine the top 3 shoot-out at the end.
There are always a minimum of 2 judges viewing from multiple angles.

Full Retard Drift Club 2

After a break from LFS I came back had a go in the V7 didn't like it and re-re-tuned it, I personally think it's better again, thoughts and opinions welcome.
Looks good, i'll say more once i've tested it out.
Edit:
After testing, well construsted layout, the first corner to follow through section is the problem as the corners are too tight, I know this is due to the size constraints of AU1, other than that nice job mate. :-)

Got bored did a re-tune, i like it, what do you guys think?
Also, there are loads of good XRT Driftworks 2010 skins around.
Not bad for a first attempt, just wondering as to why you're doing the 07 paint?
I think I may come and join you on that server
Hmm turns out that the two sets i posted are both good at different things, V5 is better on tracks, but V6 tends to be better for Autocross.
Does anyone know if Pretzel is being used anywhere? Looks like it could be interesting with more than one car on track.
Right so how many people have various Logitech wheels and most that have had problems tend to go to logitech who are usually good about replacing broken parts/giving you new replacements free.
Obviously your expierence will have made you biased toward other manufacturers, but seriously how much are you willing to spend on a wheel for a game, Logitech make great 'lower' end wheels that do their job fine.
If you want to go and spend £500+ go for it but for most, that's simply too much for a game, so thanks for the rant but no i'm quite happy with my G25 had it a year, ragged the hell out of it with LFS, RBR, Rfactor and Iracing, it hasn't broken and I doubt it will for another few years. I will say this, what isn't made of plastic now, it's cheap to produce, if moulded correctly is more than strong enough for many applications and this is obviously one.
Also I somehow doubt the engineers at logitech used plastic without stress testing it.

And now to make myself look a fool, where do i place suit/glove skins?
Pretzel looks fun, nice layouts
Just re-tuned the car, little quicker now.
This looks rather similar to the * Drift Battle * layout
O great another demo user who has hacked the game.
Damn didn't spot that, too busy taking picture's 
Yeah i was there both this year and 2009
I agree with you that it's a good attempt, i'd say scale it up by about x2 and you'd be around the right scale
Please don't take offence from this, I think crabs version has a better scale, yours is a little too small.
