Personally I'd rather race the XRG or XRT for the stock car one too.

Same... One that isnt just pressing on the throttle as hard as you can during the whole thing..If I do join i'd rather have something more challenging where id have to let the throttle a bit maybe and at the right time accelerate again..

How about XRT with LFSTune?

7 litre V8 - 450 bhp?

Is that about right?

i vote for 500 Kyoto Fo8 !!!
And im in!

XRG is a great car here too , its more realistic , but it becomes almost a short track u have to slow down at the last bend ! but XRG is far the best yes!

I like. Thatll be kinda hard on the tires :P but as long as its not just full throttle the whole time it can be fun!

+1000

i'll be there if i am not on holiday...

btw. look at LFSCAR subforum, we are discussion a new season and this might be of interest as we might switch to fo8 for some indy action..,

Shouldn't you change the name then? Seems weird to simulate indy racing with a name that kind of refers to nascar.

IRLFS

at the moment we are running several things under the LFSCAR name, even a GP79 mod league for rFactor. the original lfscar league was also called: LFSCAR 360degree.tk CUP SERIES. as nascar also runs different leagues with different sponsors i do not have a problem with that though

an indy type of league would be called something like: "LFSINDY" hosted on LFSCAR.com or something like that.

I'd like to take part here are some ideas:
an co-operation event with LFSCAR??? like it is in the Indy Racing League you can sent your drivers who then could compete again "single day event racers" (just a thought)
I think the grid limit should be 30 (to have an amount of drivers, wich can be devided by 3 ), because 34 is not possible. (33+SC, in the IRL Indy500)... another point would be, that the Pace Car should be used for the information/warm-up laps, as a kind of warm-up or training for the Caution Periods, and like in Indy it could be a three file rolling (Indy-)start (for the single seaters).

well back to my co-op idea: i thought this could be usefull, as a field of noobs, wouldn't make sense. (would become a demolition derby) They should have some experience with oval racing. And especially experience with FO8 in the Single Seater Event.

Someone thought of a live-broadcast like the MoE did? You can adress yourself to game-tv.com and ask for a live broadcast, or at least for a broadcast.

Just had a little spin with XRG and LFS Tune.

If we have 8 litre V8, and 1 power, 1.6 torque and default whatever the other one is, then it's a pretty scary ride

The tyres will be an issue. Let's see if anyone comes up with a slickmod.

On the subject of the FO8, if there's a tune out there for it in time for the race, I'll produce one that's really close to indy cars.

On the subject of teaming up with LFSCAR, it's a great idea. @Fischfix - Keep me up to date with progress

On the subject of broadcasting - great idea. Yes please - but someone else will have to sort that out please - I've no idea

i guess people like my idea

And for the FOX - like an indy car -

V8
3500cc
0.38 Power
2.225 torque

However, there are some tyre issues

We're only using mods cos the XRT will be quite slow if we keep it normal. We want it to be as realistic as possible. Unless someone can get slicks onto the XRT we won't be using it anyway. And ATM, we're using normal FO8 anyway.

that a mod should be used for these races... hmm... I don't know how to judge on it... but, well... hmm... in the first moment i dislike it...

but! since when, mods which change the game itself are able to be played online???
I seem to have missed something

I thought the begineers cup was an entry way into the world of LFS and LFS racing..... not LFS tuning....



From someone who has run a league before, try and keep it simple.... don't mess with whats there already with tune etc etc people are interested in your cup becuase of the simple format, stick to it and stop messing ideas around, you'll only end up with annoying your entrants and thus having a smaller field, who only then drive tuned cars which means when they play normal LFS, they will still be beginners.... right?

K guys - thanks for the input. (BTW Dru - this isn't a round of the LFSBC!)

We'll keep the FO8 as it is for the 500 then.

What do people want for the 250 (if it happens)?
GTR's
Modded XRT
anything else?

I'll prod Victor again for a sub-forum.

Hey J@tko think we can have PRC sponser the league?

Who are PRC?

If i understand you right, you already tried to get one.
Well, it may be an idea to create some head organisation. e.g. "The LFS beginners Cup by League XYZ Promotion" and "The Kyoto 500 Indy style by League XYT Promotion (and LFSCAR)"

As the beginners cup, and these two single day events are not that huge like the Masters Of Endurance, it would increase your chances... in this case you could make a special thread to form the organisation (I mean, deciding who the VideoBroadcaster is, and so on)

Nice idea. The LFS BC is by New Dimension Racing Events.

We could have the Kyoto 500 by PRC (whoever they are!)


Thinking about it, I'll ask if we can put this in the LFSCAR forums.

sry that my posting devellopes in chatting but my thoughts flashing uncontrolablely through my mind

an issue you'd have to face, when using tuned cars in multiplayer is "cheating" I don't know if this LFStune is that smart to avoid a laptime to be sent to LFSWorld. I doubt it at this point. We'd see many new world records, or, more brutal, many cheaters.

back to the broadcasting: When the dates are fixed, I'd sent the application to game-tv.com ,as their hompage is in german. That would be my offer to you.

The cheating aspect is fixed as only one 'setup' will be allowed. The pbs will be sent to LFSW, but people should () delete them afterwards. Anyway, WRs are only in hotlapping.

We have a host thanks. If you sponsor it - what could you give us in return?
