Quote from zeugnimod :Have you ever heard "MOE" or "IGTC"?

MOE is for much more experienced drivers than we are
Collision detection (car to car)

Review the collision of the race leader with another car (I cut this lap in mpredit, collision happened in the 1st split)

Visually there was some gap between our cars but my car suddenly spoon when I just passed this lapped guy.

A little bit too big bounding box?

Such event happened with Bourdais in Australia. He retired but was classified.
Also in 2005 year when Raikonnen crashed just before finish line and had one more lap to go, he was classified.

F1 rules clearly state that driver have to complete 90% of distance to be classified. In endurance races you can even crash 100 laps before finish and still get classified.
Aston Historic (Rev), Pitwall

I was participating in BF1 race at AS4R yesterday. At the main straight I was smashed into the wall at the left side then car bounced and hit the wall between the track and the pitlane.

The game said my car was in forbidden area and kicked me to spectators.

Is it bug or that was done on purpose? There is small extract with this accident.

Some tracks, like Aston Historic Rev may damage springs even when you stay away from curbs, just bumpy road, and most of such bumps are invisible.

And I've checked replay in Replay Analizer. It sais minimum suspension travel remaining is 14mm for front and 8 for rear. The car (BF1 in my case) never bottoms out but still gets damaged.

I've done some experiment. Drove BF1 at Aston National and Westhill 200km at R3 tyres without change. No problems so far. It seems R3 tyres are closer to F1 hard tyres, whereas R2 are usefull for qualification and hotlaps only. Something average between R2 and R3 would be handy. R2.5?

I made a few PB's after 1 or 2 beers. But it makes harder to avoid collisions with other cars. Maybe it let unconscious part of mind play bigger role.

The strange thing, there is handbrake on button but no handbrake off one.

Quote from mrodgers :
Westhill chicane (with the wall of tires). You are not braking FOR the chicane, but for the turn BEFORE the chicane. You brake and downshift for the turn, you turn, and accelerate through the chicane. Remove the chicane and put a straight section in it's place and you change absolutely nothing about how the circuit is driven.

Only if you know you could do that

Quote from mrodgers :
Blackwood forwards config chicane. You brake for TURN 1. The chicane is taken full throttle accelerating after T1. Remove the chicane and nothing changes.

Disagree. People spin quite often there. It adds spice and affects 1st split time a lot.

Quote from samjh :The FO8 is based on F3000, the forerunner to GP2.

I know. But GP2 cars are faster than F3000. GP2 has 4 litre V8 580hp whereas F3000 has 3 litre V8 450hp

It depends on car. With FOX and FO8 it won't allow more than 450 degrees. In setup screen you can check maximum amount, some cars allow 900 degrees but I don't remember which ones.

Quote from The Very End :My style sucks. I can`t get a correct little slide, like those 5 degrees mentioned earlier. Eighter I`m going nice and steady throught a corner, or I fail horrible, and end up beeing sideways and loosing speed.
I got like no technical skills, I`m just giving it all, sometimes it`s paying of, other times - most times I end up flying off track.


How did you get platinum license then?

Quote from Luke.S :I no lol he tried to vote ban me but an admin saw it and kicked him lol.

Have got banned for about 2 hours once because of some crashing jerk.

I have a little bit oversteery set for BL1 and use inner curbs sometimes to generate even more oversteer. But BL set and driving style doesn't work at other tracks so I change my style and sets to neutral.

Actually RR3 is running with BF1/WE1 combo at the moment

I'd rather see GP2 car to fill the gap between FO8 and BF1 and something between FOX and FO8

You might be right about higher level CTRA servers. But CTRA SS1 is total mess

Popular servers are often packed with newbies but you could try to find time period when all kids go to bed and situation gets much better.

I've seen some jumping guy at Redline Racing server (S2) too. Replay is available at their forum

In old days cars had some rubber between dampers and chassis to reduce negative effect of bottoming out. You could see that in GPL. I don't know whether LFS simulates something like that or not

I know about raf files and replay analyzers. the point is not to beat WR but to be consistently fast in race with R2 tyres and racing set. In race I've seen nothing faster than low 1.09 whereas vincper's WR is faster than 1.08.

Actually Gentlefoot pointed in right direction, I have bad habit to apply too much lock and scrub speed in turns.

Hello, I've just did my 1.09.78 PB during online race at BL1 with FOX car and my TPB is 1.09.65 at the moment. I'd like to improve further. Could you guys review this replay (my 4th lap) and give me some tips how to get even faster.

I've got smashed into a wall at lap 1, and seems that confused mpredit so I couldn't make replay smaller.
