Is "kerbing" an activity I've never heard of? Or are you referring to several kerbs laid together being known collectively as "kerbing", in the way that pavestones laid together become "paving"?
Kerbing is an expression used in racing circles, it's pretty self explanitory. In real racing kerbing is very definatley a bad thing, apart fromrisking damage to the car it can be plain dangerous, both in terms of sending the car out of control and weakening compnents. At a Formula 4 (1600/1800 cc. single seaters) race on the Silverstone a Formula Renault clipped the kerb at Becketts too hard on the last lap, the car carried on, seemingly without damage until the rear suspension collapsed coming over the finish line, then hit by another car, causing a big accident after the race had finished.
IRL you simply couldn't kerb the FOX like you have to be fast at Fern Bay. Modern racing cars are designed to take kerbs, but only some kerbs can be taken, if you look at the lap of the Radical SR8, a car completely capable of taking normal kerbs, at the 'ring he doesn't touch a single kerb, this is because the kerbs there, like some of the nasty ones in LFS are quite simply like pulling a car onto the pavement at 150 mph (which you would do would you ). Road cars and older racing cars are even more likely to fall to pieces when you touch a kerb.
Nice pictures btw. have they been edited a bit, or does LFS look that good on your system
Good? JPEG quality isn't that good in those pics... just turn on 16xAF and 6xFSAA and it will look good on your comp too, at least when taking screenshots.
Yeah, I agree real cars are a little more fragile than lfs cars, but..
I had a race on Blackwood GP. 22 laps with FOX. But after about 18 laps, I noticed my suspension had bend! I could still drive, but it was very tricky.
And a few days ago, I was in a fight with someone, also FOX, on Aston National. And at the hairpin he braked a bit early, I braked a bit late. So in the corner we hit eachother, but it seemed everything was still ok, no damage. But the next corner we both wanted to turn in, but we just spinned because we both had broken suspensions.
I liked the original shot of the black FZ. The bodywork is nicely lit and reflecting the light at the angle. To me, it looks pretty real, but the surrounding scenery and shot overall is kinda boring. But the car looks great!

Mayby it should be "hitting on a kerb(/curb)"...?
At least my subconscious was right...
