I'd like to request a refund
Just a moment ago I bought the S2 license for this game. I was excited to finally race against other people driving something different from an FBM. Sadly, that did not happen. Even though you advertise the game having "intense online racing" there simply wasn't ANY to be found. All the servers that supported S2 cars were CRUISING servers - absolutely no racing was involved. Therefore I'd like to request a refund on my purchase.

If this isn't the place to ask for a refund please direct me to where it's possible.
You will need to write to our technical support mail.

There is intense online racing. But in the middle of the working day while nearly all Europeans are at school or work and Americans are still in bed, you are unlikely to find much, that is true.

I recommend you try again this evening, when people are at home and have some free time.

Take a look at the activity graphs on www.lfsworld.net
Same happened to me, but i think you should put "yes" to empty and public servers, lots of servers would appear, yes its empty mostly, but i think after joining 1 others might join and start races, its just my opinion, even tought the community is half dead to be honest
If you want to have some racing, head to https://www.lfs.net/leagues leagues section and find something approporiate.

These days I dropped LFS for some time, but I never had any regrets for buying it, because there are great events occasionally. And sometimes me and some friends just roll around some combo and it is alright.

But if you expected online activity to be at the level of other simracing titles, then you came at a wrong time.

So if those 24 pounds really strike your budget, think twice next time before buying anything and I hope you can resolve this matter.
Well... not really defending or attacking any party, but as what Scawen did say, there is really intense online racing.

The things is, how restricted you are thinking of racing? Do you want the racing must be done originally way, old school, without any insims, or do you like to have the other extreme? With absolutely all customized things from insim to layouts, with various possibilities, yet still very close racing with more than 3 cars under 1 second on finish line.

I am sure you have not even tried yet or even looked at it. Do not trust the headlines or any other people, find out yourself of it. The thing is, people are less online due the other sims/games/life/other stuff, but it still happens what you want for. It is just in specific time.

Give an another shot. As what vitaly_m did say, there is league racing with appropriate stuff in specific times.

And now similar thing in finnish ( trust me, it says same thing! ):

Niin, sitä kovaa ja mukavaa kilvanajoa tapahtuu kyllä, mutta tiettyyn aikaan, koska porukkaa ei ole enää ihan sellaisilla määrin, mitä ennen. Mutta kyllä sitä löytyy.

Katso seuraavalla kerralla paremmin. Mutta toki, jos edelleen tuntuu siltä, että ei sitten vaa ole millään sellaista, että olisi rahanarvoinen asia tuo S2-lisenssi, niin sitten vaan mitä Scawen sanoi, eli:

"You will need to write to our technical support mail."

Sitten vaan rahat takaisin ja me sanomme sitten hyvästit S2-puolella.

Nothing personal/Älä ota mitenkään henkilökohtaisesti.
For the record - it's not developers,who make racing intense,it's users (and also hosters/organizers),who do it - and you're one of them!
There is a lot of intense online racing, you can't really claim that it is false advertising (you'd struggle to do that even if you could only do 2 car peer to peer racing).

Try in the evening.
If you liked FBM and moved to S2 for more excitement, I guess you'd like FM FOX Friday. Get teamspeak and join us tonight.

Also, for everyday racing, try LFS Suomi.
Well you play since 7 years and have done 9000+ laps with Formel bmw. Enough time to keep an eye on serverlist and on forum/news.

As others said, look at calender. For frequently asked questions look: http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/League_Racing_Guide

I guess "Spring Cup" has started now but for today you have no date entered in calender Tilt

Other upcoming races which can be joined without requirement:
sunday: https://www.lfs.net/leagues/219/season/405#round5 - AB League
monday: this monday are practice races of cityliga:- https://www.lfs.net/leagues/299/season/392#round6
On mondays is also the CESAV league ( https://www.lfs.net/leagues/247/season/390 ) whis is similiar to cityliga. (One is german based, other spanish )

Again with the CL practice races is similiar problem as FOX Friday. When you find the entry in calender then you have no idea what to do next. You can see the dates and tracks/cars but no info which server to join.
The regulars know about it anyway, but for new drivers makes it bit difficult to find their way.
(In case someone wonders: http://forum.city-driving.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?fid=168 or http://cityliga.de/en/forum/sprint-cl22.html )
And plenty racing going on right now
Yep, 78 people online in public, non-demo, non-cruise servers now (Friday evening).

We'd like more but there is definitely racing going on (some of that number are drift).

I think Sunday evening is the busiest LFS racing time,

What makes the FM FOX Friday so successful over the years is their constant lack of consistency, whether it is when the quali/race starts (the famous "5 FM minutes" Big grin) or keeping the table up to date Razz

To whom ever wants to participate: just show up at about 9PM CET at the server and don't forget to log on their TS too and that's it! Smile
Good racing guarantied Wink
30 old? Hell that's just post puberty.

I'd like to request a refund
