Actually I used rc10racer's replays from a couple of posts up, but indeed I suppose one was saved too early Sorry about that.

Great races guys! Just thought I'd post the results of the two races here:

F1RST Racing's May Event
» Kyoto Ring National - XR GT Turbo
» 15 laps

Race 1 results


Race 2 results

Quote from Victor :

Many thanks to everyone who took the time to take some shots. There are some nice ones there (and yes also some bad ones - don't use so high FOV's, people don't have fish eyes )

The magazine will show us the article when it's done. The lucky winners will then see their shots I spose.

Thanks again!

I assume you're keeping the magazine name secret on purpose?

LOL @ Grid!

:bowdown:

That's awesome Teemu, great job!

Happy birthday!

Quote from flymike91 :

This is a terrible idea.

OK, you think it's a terrible idea, but could you please explain why you think that? Because segregation is bad? Are you trying to say I'm discriminating?

Also, I don't understand why you act so offended?

Quote from flymike91 :

I don't really understand, is it the discussion of upcoming drift events that pisses you off? what exactly is it? The only issues I have seen are in drift vs race threads such as "what the fascination with drifting?"

I agree with you when you say drifting is a competitive motorsport and it's actually great that LFS can provide it. There is nothing that pisses me off about upcoming drift events. I don't have anything against drifters, at all. It's not my cup of tea (mainly because I suck at it) but that doesn't mean I don't respect them for what they do.

My point is that this forum generally isn't very tolerant towards non-racers, which results in stupid discussions and flame wars that can only harm LFS and scare potential license buyers. If that thread you mention is the only race vs drift issue you've seen, I think you've either not been around for very long, or you don't spend enough time here. Look at Ian.H's signature from some posts above for the closest example I can find. Can't be arsed to search for example threads but I'm sure you can find loads.

Quote from flymike91 :

Even if racers and drifters are segregated, drifters will still be disrespected in the racing forum with ignorant generalizations

If my suggestion is applied, I don't see a reason for the subject drift to be discussed in the racing forum..? So I think that what you're saying isn't applicable.

Taking your post into account, here's a short balance how I see it - for a separate forum section for drift and cruise;
- segregation is discrimination (?)
+ no more flaming wars destroying LFS' credibility
+ drifters/cruisers won't have to start every post with "please don't flame me"
+ racers don't have to have anything to do with cruise/drift
+ cruisers/drifters don't have to have anything to do with racers

Edit: took me way too long to write this hence some overlap with STROBE's (very nice) post

Quote from x.x :

Everyone in motorsport has money or they wouldn't be racing, im not sure you can put it down to that, bit of a silly thing to say really wasn't it.

Tantrums?? Not sure u'v got the right person there, but oh well.

Anyway, your jealousy isn't going to change anything, so I suggest you concentrate on yourselves.

Have a nice day

I hope an admin can reveal this coward's real identity via IP tracking... I really doubt Niki would say anything like that if it wasn't first-hand experience, just like I doubt he's jealous in the way you describe it.

Quote from james12s :

i like that way tou put thats last bit i think it sums up the idea well, again soz for taking it the wrong way

No worries, my first post might have been a bit misleading. I added some text now to clarify.

Quote from AndroidXP :

a convenience option for racers to filter out the useless servers

Isn't that exactly what I'm suggesting for the forum?

Quote from Boris Lozac :

Good idea, and how about that subforum is hidden from other people? In User CP, you choose whether you want it to be visible or not...

Making it invisible isn't necessary if you ask me, but then again, I don't use the New Posts feature. For me collapsing a subforum - which is possible already - will do

Quote from Gekkibi :

This is a two-edged sword. Those who don't want to talk about cruising/drifting won't have to stand these threads on general discussion (Well, time to time [Read: Daily] someone still posts there...). On the other hand, then LFS "officially" supports cruising and drifting (Even that's not true) and would bring more drifters / casual drivers to LFS (Both good and bad there... More sold licenses, but attracts "the wrong kind of people").

Yeah well, that's basically the extended version of my pro and con from the first post
I personally think "supporting" the cruise and drift servers was already done by adding the option "Cruise [on/off]" on the serverlist page, ingame.
Over the time it's become clear to me that this type of servers definitely won't dissapear if you don't support them. So I think it's time to make the decision to deal with them and navigate them to their own place, rather than to "ignore" them and watch the flame wars burn down the forum, and LFS' image along with it.
