Qually vs Race setup

Hi,
Was just wondering, for a race setup, is it better to use a softer tyre and reduce the camber to keep the tyre cool, or put on a harder tyre so you can keep the camber from the WR set?

ta,
Tim

This is true. But yeah, really the username isn't that important, its the racername that defines you online, and I see very few real names in servers, which is a shame
But certainly more than in other games, which is good

I'm quite interested as to why people use aliases at all in lfs.. (or online in general i guess).

I used to use an alias back in the days of qw, and most fps' since then, but in LFS it seems more natural to use your real name. For one thing, I'm keen on the idea of LFS being seen as a proper racing series, and you don't see real racing drivers giving themselves aliases Well, ok, Ice man, chinmeister etc, but that's not on the bottom of my tv screen when im watching

So yeah, the point of aliases seems to be a) for anonymity - why on earth would u want this unless ure gonna be a dick or something? Also, if some long-lost m8 comes onto a server, ull never know ure racing against each other (this happens occasionally, and cus of my name, we actually recognise each other).
and b) to look cool, which is pretty juvenile imo. No offense to everyone, since I know its just the 'done thing', but u know, its like rapper's hilariously stupid names designed to look cool.

So yeah, I'm just interested as to why people think you have to have an alias. As I say, unlike some online fps, this game is even more like a real sport that happens to be on t'internet, so why not be a bit grown up about it and use ure real name?

Ok, ill shut up now
Incidently, i realise that aliases are just a bit of fun etc and allow u to convey some personality or something..
but yeah..

Cheers,
Tim
