I find it weird how a lot of rammers are abundant on this basic demo server, in fact, it's like a beehive there.
I couldn't hotlap in peace nor even cruise, and I'm suprised some of these rammers are still going around.

This is more of a talk page than some reports and rants about this server, so yeah

The game has reached a stage where crashes are the norm on demo servers. Turk invasion

to chime in - the two populated servers where people pretend theres something more to do other than having 30 cars drive around the map closely together at 20kmh - people on there have the spacial awareness of a potato

how come theres no middle ground - i thought this is a racing game but theres no casual S3 racing
only events with highly competitive people that have been nerding in the setup screen for years to abuse every little exploit for a faster time and demo where its obviously worse than the aformentioned free driving around westhill servers

has this game become a cruise meet'n'greet simulator? atleast add mumble or another 3d audio mic program so you could chat with voice while gathering up at the hotel in westhill
hell, make it so you can get out the car and walk around and maybe do some fortnite dances, people already mod their cars to open doors and trunks; which other racing game has that?

Cruise servers do indeed rule this game. Most of the casual daily racing servers died in 2013 something ish.

Casual daily races will never happen again most likely, game is too dead for that,

Scawen should have implemented official lfs races long time ago, similar to what iracing has, one combo for a week, races every hour or 2, variety of race lenght and maybe with that rating system, altho its not as important

Sadly cruisers took over big time and nothings happening in LFS apart from some league races 2-3times a week

And in response to taipalsaari about nerding setup screen, thats what you do when u want to be good and fast right? Tuning ur setup to your own liking and be faster than others, if it hurts your feelings, you should have commited to cruising, and not racing ( u may have done that )

I highly doubt LFS will gain popularity in the long run when the big update comes out one day, maybe for a month or two, then it goes back to where it is now, these updates highly favouring cruisers with extra roads added, roundabouts, traffic lights, and god knows what else. There are no extra tracks for racers (real or fictional) + extra RACING roads for racers, no official cars, I understand its a long progress and only 2 active developers but is still sad.

ive been here actively since 2017-18 and its getting a bit boring after driving the same combo 800times, i guess its even worse for some whos been here since the 2000's ( mousemen )

I don't think I should have, there's only so much one person can do.

Maybe Victor could have done it if he had remained interested in LFS. But I'm too busy on other stuff and even had to take over the website maintenance too.

It's for the community to organise races and that is fine by me.

We'll see if the new version increases popularity for only a couple of months or has some lasting appeal.

With InSim it's possible for to implement such a system unofficially by anyone, but nobody has done that in the recent years. There used to be these kind of races in the past (CTRA), but nothing has survived to this day. That doesn't mean people can create a new one

Is there any chances of a november progress report?

I think december progress report ( end of the year ) is more realistic

I love to casually hop on the game and just vibe but racing as much and as well as you do is a bit exhausting indeed. Doing the same combos honestly seems retarded over longer periods. But good game anyway men
