Run by a bunch of good guys i've met playing it so far

Does anyone have a recording of the coverage at all (if possible)? As it'd be good to watch even for someone who was there

Quote from xaotik :

It was '94 in that clip and Hill won because MSC was disqualified for illegal wear on the bargeboard, not for his driving.

'95 was the one MSC started 16th and finished first mostly because it rained and everyone else seemed to be water-soluble.

Actually that IS a clip from the 95 race at Spa...it's easy to tell when you know your car shapes

1994 Williams had a "low nose" as is cleary seen in the Adelaide clip (last race of the season) whereas the Williams in that vid is of a "high nose" configuration that Williams didn't adopt until the 1995 season after it had been so successful on the '94 Benetton

In fact the last top team to run a "low nose" was Ferrari at the start of '96 when Schumi joined them, only for them to change it after a few races of Hill/Villeneuve dominance

Quote from zeugnimod :

Yes, last ChampCar league race is tonight. I have one slot free then and will surely join this after securing 2nd place there.

Bah, only just sir...only just

Quote from zeugnimod :

Thats, because I am THAT good!!!



Btw; Im also leading the ChampCar league atm *show off*.

Only just leading the ChampCar

Although I have been surprised by the outright pace of all three you 'Cybr0ck' guys

Well i'm gonna miss half the weekend, away camping at the V Festival (music festival for you non-UK peeps) but my team-mate (and RL buddy) is gonna look after the Red Dwarf Racing interests for any events that take place

No more 'Touring' class cars available so had to start the 'Production' class

But Red Dwarf Racing is in

Snickers


Four-Finger Kit Kat or Kit Kat Chunky

We only started it monday Couldve done with the extra player to make the last team a 3 aswell...

Quote from Funnybear :

Stone him?

I think we shold bring back public humiliation. Make him walk down the street with a sign around his neck proclaiming him to be a cheater. How much longer do you think someone would keep cheating if they new everyone (In RL) knew what he was?

Theres always the option of Tar and Feathering

Hmm reminds me I must have a shave tonight.....


Anyway, surely i'm not the only person who thinks Shumacher should've just let DLR and then possibly Heidfeld go and collect the 3/4 points he would've had? illepall

Anymore takers for an LFS ChampCar game before Herki starts it tonight?

Private Game '5154' with 'lfs' as the password....7 spots left (one car left in a team of two, and 2 three-car teams left)

Too hot

Watching a film at the Cinema or on a DVD at home?

Quote from Becky Rose :

Any other track I can be reasonably competetive in the Fox and get rostrum finishes, beaten only by the super aliens.

Blackwood though...

I'm 4 seconds off the pace on the rare ocassions I do a good lap !

I hate that track.

:iagree:

Well...I may not be quite as quick as Becky on some tracks but whatever I do to a setup I can't get quick at Blackwood....maybe a high 1:09

Annoyingly, the worst was when I watched Phlos' replay and ran a "Test Drive" on that and immediately took 3/4 of a second off my PB

Quote from thisnameistaken :

I'm sure you'll do your best to prevent that from happening What's the gap, 30 points or so? That'd be tricky to make up in three races but if I retire from one then it could all yours. Eek!

Well Kev, bit of bad luck and it can all go wrong.....

Before the 3 races at Bahrain i was 6 points behind you, then finished only one of the three races and that was down in 10th after problems, now i'm over 200 points behind ya! Thats how big a swing you can get in the V8's



As for Champ Car...I completed a season on that where I finished 2nd, after losing a 14 point lead in the last race by getting only my 2nd retirement of the season! So I think the sliders play a much bigger part in that than they appear to do in V8's. Although conversely i'm currently 4th in another Champ Car game after 3 retirements half-way through the season...two of them from when in 1st place aswell!

Caught me out in the last Vixen race at Westhill, running in a window and the monitor turned itself off coz the mouse/keyboard hadn't done anything for 15 minutes or so

Really just wondering how people set up their cars (mainly FOX's) for the Kyoto National circuit?
Do you concentrate on low downforce flat-out speed for the oval section, or add more downforce to get through the infield?

Mainly i'm asking as in just under a week i'm supposed to have a Vixen Challenge race on the track and i'm struggling in the 1:42's still


[edit]
Doh wrote Aston National orignally....I really meant Kyoto Nat :homersimp
Any chance of Mod edit on title?

It's Champ Car...but you shall all fall before the might of Red Dwarf Racing bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha *cough*

You'll notice in the other posts about the ignition key that I didn't spot it either so you weren't alone!

Quote from ShannonN :

Escorts, do they still have (Make) Escorts in the UK? Stopped them here in 1980 the RWD versions, Think The Ford Carsair of the late eighties was an Escort in UK, could never keep up with the different names for the same car worldwide etc

They've stopped now, but I think they kept making them until around 2002 I think.....

Had the other main Chav car around here try and beat my car (96 FTO GR) away from the lights taking my gf home tonight! A late nineties Fiesta, with Fog Lights on (obviously) and a busted headlight. I was stationary at a red, he was just a bit behind me looking to go in the right hand lane (meant for turning, it's a one lane road) to get past me. He was still doing 20-30 not quite alongside me as the lights changed...and was quite a bit further behind about 10 seconds later

Quote from Funnybear :

MR2? Chav mate. Completly chav. I'd rather have the MX5

Seriously

MR2 is too expensive to be 'Chav' around here...all the dumbasses are too busy pissing around with Escorts, Astras and Clio's to get something with RWD :pillepall

Then again...I am in essex, could explain a lot.....

Whats wrong with MR2's?

Anyway, Mazda's are okay, MX-5 can look pretty nice (for a hairdressers car) but ideally you'd want an RX-7 or RX-8 if u got a Mazda surely

Quote from mrodgers :

True, but to tell you the truth, I first read this in a "how to sim race" guide way back in the beginnings of Papyrus' Indycar Racing 2 and Nascar 1 and 2. That was back in 1995/96 and I didn't start riding until 2002 .

I'll have to hunt for some of those guides I have. They are quite old, but still relate. I know I have them saved somewhere.

LOL I actually pulled out my old IndyCar Racing 1 manual the other day for the section on car setups!

Oh and as tough as it can be sometimes, don't watch other people spin off/run wide/crash in either LFS or real-life racing, as it can be quite easy to follow them

Quote from Gentlefoot :

I still wouldn't have a spare hand - no what I mean.

Show off!

Quote from Captain Slow :

ppl who think like dethmag will take that the wrong way :P rofl

I wouldn't know what you mean.....

Same as ajp for me, extened music pack in menus but no music while racing (unless you count mum/girlfriend watching eastenders/corrie/big brother in the background)


When i'm in my car....well thats different, although music's not too loud so I can hear my V6 growl
