Ehh... I see your point of view, but if that is taken into MY point of view, then I say none of the cars currently fits on LFS.
Whatever it is, for me, it is Warm welcome to LFS, as any other vehicle, let it be RWD, Dragster, Drift car, Pick-Up, Motorcycle, Front Wheel Drive, Side Wheel Drive, All Wheel Drive, A Moped or even Arska. Heck, a frigging automatic robot car would be a warm welcome lolz. Just /ai with that car and that "racer" goes to look some servers to race on HAHA... oh man I go sleep, good night! --->
I do not think naming and witch hunting really pays back on this pretty positive thread, which has been so long time since last time actually received this one. It's like I would mention one of the devs are rly angry because according to his last forum post so watch out dude! You'll be toast!
Thread is positive and happy. Let's keep it that way!
EDIT: Yes, despite even thread post contains some negativity, but overall result is positive!
Indeed! Round 50, Winner's choice of track, random car, 10 laps with mandatory pitstop. Mr. Flat Out! made it again and took 19th time of Round victory! Won by 0,35 seconds, he did pitstop without fixing his car and managed to take all 10 laps without any fatal errors and forced UM21 to stay behind on last hairpin. Staggering performance. Well done!
2nd place taker was fastest guy at track in both sessions, but could not find a way to pass and so on he was left on silver. Fast racing pace was shown again, previously Rounds 1 and 41 he was also fastest guy, but only managed to win once at Round 41.
3rd place goes to RedBot ( LFSW: redbot_ ). This Indian flat outer had some good battling against Willi on midway session at race, but was slightly left by UM21 and Mr. Flat Out due tyre overheating and so having then less grip for cornering. 4th time on podium on career, not bad at all if looking from where he started and how first races have gone. Improvement has been drastically big one!
4th place goes to R. Kardol. Spun before last corner at middle of the race ruined his chance to win this round and was simply left out of the podium. However, he showed how racing goes with road car and was keeping UM21 behind several times. Who knows what it could have been if no spun would have happen?
5th place goes to T. Soini, 6th goes to Jay from Finland and 7th position goes to Sobis, who was cursed one at this round. 8 times !flip command used tells a bit up story for us: Bankings were not his side this time. Still finishing the race and it was first time he finished race at Top 10.
We had also 8th starter, but... well, 9397 ( LFSW: Lucaf ) failed on banked hairpin as well and it did seem to like he will enter back to the track, but in spectator view, he gave up, only not much to go. In other words: DNF with giving up.
We could have got 9th starter as well, but still Aab decided to not to race.
Highlights are coming in following order:
This is the finish picture. ( YEAAA ALRIGH'! )
This is a digital picture. ( Probably after Turn 1... Of course it is after Turn 1! )
We have first crasher in lap 1. It looks like this, race didn't end... yet!
Things did look like this after lap 1.
Here is some videos! Sobis lost control due watching other racer's tire condition, ultimately goes straight to pitlane.
Then, Rik versus UM21 battle begins. ( or, continues, depends your view. )
Here is the plausible moment where Rik ruins his chance for win.
After that incident, Rik, UM21 and RedBot, who had some battle against Willi, all three goes to pitstop at same lap!
RedBot didn't require repair his FZ50 X car, so he goes already with 1 second pitstop.
After those pitstops, meanwhile Sobis have done pitstop already and goes off at turn 1.
Look, same guy again! This time on Lap 8/10 and at other section.
What if Willi would have failed in that section? Would you imagine the result then?
As all racers excluding Willi have done pitstop, at lap 9, UM21 overtakes RedBot and is going to hunt Willi.
Situation at last lap turn 1. All racers have done mandatory stop.
Guess how he exactly end down there? DNF from here.
And the final moment where winner is settled!
TRIVIA
3rd time Fastoric layout is used in these Series! Willi have won 2/3 and UM21 one.
Willi and Rik led the laps: 6-4.
This round was 2,49 seconds slower than Round 1.
Best race so far in overall!
Thank you for participating this round! Next and FINAL ROUND, the grand finale! Will happen on next week Thursday at somewhere 20:30 UTC and will contain double points, 1 hour race and UM21 SELECT!
UM21 SELECT! next week! More detailed info will be shown at News section! Stay tuned racers!
In 20 years, there is probably no more Airio used anymore, at least no recent version.
EDIT: Yes, I know, serious joke... heh
But in other hand, what as before Airio and after Airio, I think we are in after Airio time now. it's historical and outdated and should go for classic old-school rather than using outdated insim.
Indeed, except this time the phrase would be similar but "car" changed to "driver". That means in Round 49, Winner is 18th time, Will.I.Am! Slowest driver in track, but even more steady than Mr. Steady a.k.a. T. Soini. No more words needed, just look at it! Excellent driving... unsurprising even.
2nd place goes to T. Soini, who was left 1 lap behind but no real threat received for him, as rest of the drivers failed more or less, all requirements to just finish were met and so T. Soini finished as 2nd. 3rd place goes to LLM.Sobis who had somewhat long break of joining to round for finishing it since Round 40.
4th place goes to fastest guy at track with most miserable fails as well, UM21.
Highlights are here:
Start grid and start.
Turn 2.
First time hill is completed, Willi going at 2wheels in short moment.
Okay, have you ever seen anything like this? Check this out! The best highlight ever!!!!
UM21 is the first guy to perform pitstop.
After a while, Jay from Finland ( LFSW: jh89 ) goes too fast at Turn 2, flies away from corner and takes the wrong route, which is DNF... pity.
Hills section really made some difficulties. Here is UM21 version of it.
Willi is at this point already one lap ahead of UM21, which would automatically mean he is a lot faster than him. However, things are quite opposite and he ultimately gives some room to UM21, while keeping his own race pace.
Because several times Sobis and UM21 failed, they managed to gather racing together and Battle of 3rd position have started. Here is Sobis's version of 2 wheeling.
Ultimately all four remaining racers were gathered together. We will have again "deja vu!" by shouting the term as "four horsemen battle"!
Then, disaster happens! UM21 receives 30 second penalty.
TRIVIA
Usually fastest guy in track finishes first and slowest last. This time the result is perfectly and amusingly opposite!
Willi led 36 laps, While UM21 and T.Soini led other 7 laps.
2nd time happened the gap between winner and second place is 1 lap.
While 2 rounds remaining, Willi is leading individual standings with 407 points, 22 points ahead of UM21. Those two guys will battle the Season 1 championships, although UM21 might take it up by having bonus points from after last round is set, such as most grand slams and pole position. However, most !flip commands used will also decrease some points, so the gap is not that big as would thought. 2 remaining rounds can change everything! T. Soini is at 3rd position and is pretty safe on that position as well with 299 points. Sobis is on 4th position with 216 points but too far away to reach podium, only two full grand slams would make a chance.
On teams section, French Street Racers have shortened the gap and are only 72 points away from Master Team Drivers Zero X-treme. Leader team has 497 points against FSR having 425 points. Sport Racing Team Finland is set at 3rd position with 301 points, 97 points ahead of Last Lap Motorsports.
Rest of remaining teams might or might not go furious battle of 5th position, as the gap between 5th position to 9th position is "only" 49 points.
Stay tuned, when we go back to Fastoric track, with road car selected randomly. Mr. Flat Out! wants to see one more time Round 1 track at Season 1, when we head to Round 50 on 13.10.2017 12.10.2017, at 17.00 UTC. Who will be victorious on last two remaining rounds, when final round will be an ultimate host's select of 1 hour race?
I want to inform here that final round of MTDZX-FO!S! will be set at thursday 20.30 UTC, which means it will clip on this one. The day will be set as 20.10.2017 19.10.2017, and it will be kinda "Grand Finale!" Any chance to skip one by you? I have planned it long time ago before this did exist, but never thought this out until now.
EDIT: I mean there are ppl who would also join this one as well.

Reason : Sorry, I took wrong day as today is indeed Friday already and not Thursday, my bad.
It rly depends the compound and tyre layout but also surface. Despite being captain obvious, I was thinking what would be closest real life tyre that would behave like tyres in LFS?
The 2nd idea is probably for cruise. However, during rallies if mechanics have extra time from fixing their own vehicle at breaks, they indeed will wash car for both aesthetic and reasonable purposes, windscreen for example. ( but that you did knew already )
