I don't see the issue!
You are generally aware of the car behind far before the blue flag warning, either from looking at the map (Which indicates by colour if the person is a lap ahead!) or by using your mirrors.
This gives you plenty of time to get out of the way and let them past without losing too much time yourself. I find a good meathod is to brake a tiny bit earlier and turn into the apex a bit later. That way you can still carry speed and they can get by without bother.
If you are on a straight, there really is no reason to have a problem, if you have time, move over. If not, they will find a way past you!

I went with my Girlfriend, she didnt seem pleased about the noise 
It was good, shame they couldnt go faster than 70ish but at that range it seemed fast enough.
Great stuff for motorsport i thought

Good Job. I bet that is a lot of fun to use
Don't apologise for you english! You speak it much better than most of us speak czech!

I dont like them, Pits are there for refuelling and changing tyres. Not artificially creating interesting moments.
Until pitting on the last lap is disallowed i will try to avoid them.
Don't get me wrong though, i love the pit strategy element of the racing once the race is long enough to need it.

Another bit of fun you could have with it. Set up every floor so you can race on them.
Would be great fun having 20 MRT's zipping round trying to squeeze 2 wide into the ramps to the next level

GP4 had an in helmet view.
Its difficult enough to simulate a car, simulating the human body is far more difficult, where would it stop if you were to try that? adding a 0.1sec delay in steering and pedal inputs to compensate for the gloves/soles of the boots?
Screen blacks out every few secs to simulate blinking?
I think sticking to the cars would be best put a helmet on if you want to simulate it

put a helmet on if you want to simulate it looking forward to this series I missed out on the last 2 due to other things taking priority, but i will be able to make it for these!
Cant wait for some proper organised racing :trophy_br

I hadnt thought about people on night shifts sgt.flippy. I understand that it would be upsetting for them.
I doubt the majority of the people complaining are working nights though like you say, they just wanted somewhere cheap and tried to solve the problem later.
I have a fairly busy road outside my window, with double glazing, even the busses barely make a whisper, my dad builds kit cars round the back of our house and the glazing blocked out a V6 Rover engine with only the manifolds attached, so these people could invest the money they saved in high quality double glazing and everyone would be happy

its very unlikely you will go over your 3 gig limit with LFS, unless you are doing insane ammounts of racing!
Im sure someone will give you an accurate figure but i dont think you need to worry,
Glad you are enjoying LFS as much as the rest of us

id agree that tiff needell and jason plato would have a more accurate opinion on the driveability of the cars . . . but if you are watching tv to help you choose your car you are doing something wrong!
TV is there for entertainment, Top gear is entertainment with cars! Whats better? Its a shame that busybodies attack it despite the fact it is enjoyed by many people, i hardly think the chaps at top gear are using the track constantly, and when they do it is usually in the daytime, when the people complaining are probably at work.
The first complaint probably came from someone bored on their day off work

I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Vain, it was me that you collided with when you got flipped, we were all bunched up and all on the brakes, as i tried to move right i tapped you and you went flying! Sorry about that, I was doing my best to not touch anyone but I just caught your right rear. Shame it lagged a tiny bit and launched you.
You were a good sport about it and just got on with re joining the race though . Nice one on that
I went for 2 stops thinking everyone else was doing the same, everyone was one stopping though so i had 25secs to make up for the extra slot! I was 7th and on for a 6th place even with another stop to go, but my pc crashed
Turns out i have a bad stick of ram, so that will be sorted and I will definately be joining you all for the next one!

How about a "modern classic"
Like the E-Types which have been overhauled or a modern kit car replica of a cobra for example
The cars of that era may not have handled as "good" but i bet they were a hell of a lot more fun than most modern cars

Whilst it is one of the very few things i watch on TV at the moment, If they dont have permission they should stop. There are race tracks all over the place being hassled for their noise levels by residents who moved in a few months earlier and this cant help their case.
I hope they do get a permit though

If thats how your races go, im glad you dont race TKM anymore!
I'd be very afraid

okey dokey.
I just got asked a couple of times in servers when i said where my sets were from.

Team Inferno Setup name reference
Hello all - I've been doing alot of moaning about driving standards at the moment, so i decided to take some time out and do something useful!
I used to download the files from Team Inferno's setup field and rename them myself individually, but with the setup pack being 1 click away on there now its too much of a chore in comparison. So i have decided to list what name relates to what. I hope some of you find it useful. I just have ithis list sat next to my desk, if i change track, just one glance and you have a good base setup without renaming them all as you download!
BL1 - BL GP
BL2 - BL RallyX
SO1- SO Classic
SO2- SO Sprint1
SO3- SO Sprint2
SO4- SO Long
SO5- SO Town
FE1 - FE Club
FE2 - FE Green
FE3 - FE Gold
FE4 - FE Black
FE5 - FE RallyX
FE6 - FE RallyX Green
AS1 - AS Cadet
AS2 - AS Club
AS3 - AS National
AS4 - AS Historic
AS5 - AS GP
AS6 - AS GT
AS7 - AS North
KY1 - KY Oval
KY2 - KY National
KY3 - KY GP
WE1 - WE International
The higher the number of the set (e.g Name1548 or Name1684) the faster the quickest lap done with that set is.
Hope this helps someone.

Are you insane???
You forgot something, it is absoloutly no fun whatsoever!
This isnt just reactionary, i didnt get the moneyback as i felt should give it a fair chance, and i have.
The menus are annoying, the configuration is annoying. You would feel more like you were driving round in a car if you rolled down a hill on an office chair. It is truly terrible.
I have extracted far more fun out of NetKar which is massively unfinished compared to rfactor. and comparing rfactor to lfs just doesnt bare thinking about.
I suppose the customisation is a plus, but the fact that the many mods i have tried just arent fun to drive and dont feel realistic in any sense, it defeats the point.

In the past I have seen threads like this and said "stop whining, you were just unfortunate and encountered a few morons" but now you are right.
I find you get about 3 clean laps at most before someone does something completely moronic or deliberate to take you out or spoil your race in some way. I got into LFS due to the fact i could get home, turn on the pc, load up and be away racing against 15-20 like minded people.
now its about 8 likeminded people and a bunch of wreckers with licences.
Its such a shame, minority ruining it for the majority as usual. These people cant be reasoned with on the server, one incident involved alot of people telling someone they were lagging, when i suggested stopping any downloads etc I suddenly discovered that this man had a problem with my mother, for whatever reason.
In contrast, NetKar is more like LFS used to be at the moment.
LFS:
**Accident
"Sry"
"OMGZZ!! *Swearing" sake you *more swearing followed by swearing"
NK:
**Accident
"sry"
"NP"
Something needs to be done, otherwise new racers will log in, get wrecked, and log off and then vent on the forum about how their £24 has been wasted. Which is obviously terrible. Grab these people where it hurts, confine them to the demo servers for 2 weeks as a punishement, they will soon calm down.
As an add on to the idea above - why not gauge the level of experience by average lap times over alot of tracks, something like GPLRank (sorry if this idea has already been said!!) that way, oval only racers wont rack up quick miles and it would encourage people to try different tracks. maybe guage it by the lap record on each track or some other solid benchmark

take the car to a track thats recreated in the game and actually drive the car round the track via the game, and see what happensillepall

illepallIsnt it easier just to set a deadzone on your clutch pedal, rather than go though the whole holding the pedal down a bit whilst calibrating?
Most drivers allow you to set when the pedal becomes active. Still, its not going to feel brilliant until FF Clutch pedals are the norm
