Quote from Silverracer :But don't let that put you off - there are A LOT of fast/respectful/helpful drivers out there.

I think that's the key, I enjoy driving in LFS and if everyone like me just gave up then it wouldn't survive - since Scawen and the others don't run a subscription model they rely on people sticking with it. I'll look into league racing a bit more - any advice for a good league to start with? Patrick

I don't have the replay, i'm not sure how far I would get with a conversation with the server admin. Thanks for the replies though. [QUOTE=Klutch;1516510]I've come to the conclusion that i came into LFS past its peak.
I think I agree with you, I first started racing on LFS when the MRT5 came out (can't remember exeactly when that was), then the racing seemed to me to be better. Racers seemed to be more interested in good driving and good racing rather, today it seems to be about the accumulation of points and stats and good driving and racecraft comes second. I realise of course that this is a simulation, but just as in real life driving a fast car means that you have to use it responsibly if everyone is to get the most out of their racing. Maybe I will have a look at iRacing, it looks as though the setup there might require better driving from the competitors. Patrick
What did I do wrong?

Hi all, been racing LFS for a while on and off.

Last night in a race at AS I got a blue flag warning coming into a chicane. I kept it steady and was going to move over on the exit from the chicane and let the faster car through. Instead of looking at the situation the faster guy barreled straight in and hit me. Then started calling me a c**t and giving me abuse for ruining his race. I did exactly what I should have done, he caused the accident! If this is the way it is in LFS these days, I don't think I will bother :-(
