Ah ok..

Quote from Jakg :

You score 50 for finishing on the lead lap on the very very very base license, the second you move up that goes away...

Oh, then how come I didn't get any points for finishing 10th out of 20th, on the lead lap, when I have the most basic licence and no points?? This was at Blackwood, in an XFG the other night.

I know this is a few months old now, but it's just what I needed. I'm down to just under 1.38, but needed a few tips on getting those couple of seconds off the time.

Jamesyboz: How are the lap times now?

Seeing as my actual driver name starts with CR, maybe the CR team would be a good move eventually?

Thanks for your insights. I've been asked if I want to join a team already, having spent a few nights racing on their server. They were nice guys, and helpful, and I enjoyed racing there, despite being a lot slower than them .

Ultimately, I want to be competitive on the track, but fair. I consider myself a good driver "out there" in the real world, and want to continue in that vain in here. Fast, but Fair is my motto!

Hi,

Although I've had my S2 licence for a while, I've only started playing the game in earnest since christmas, when I got a new wheel as a pressie.

When it comes to joining a team, what level should a driver be at? I'm currently concentrating on BL GP, in an XFG, and my PB is 1.39ish. I know I'm 5 secs off the pace, but I also know that practice will get me faster, and I am only really racing for the last week or so.

My questions is, at what stage should I be seriously thinking about a team, and what are the benefits? I dont want to be an embarrasement to a team, or myself, by jumping in too soon

I await your thoughts

I know this is an old thread, but for what it's worth, I'm an Irish driver, just recently really getting in LFS.

LFSW Username: CR1972
I would like to run for the postion of nation's manager: no
Skills: Driver (Beginner), Skinner(ish)

I've had S2 for a good while, but have really only started using it properly in the last week, since I got a new wheel over christmas. I'd be interested in a beginners cup, if it isnt too late?

I've only really started to get in LFS now, since I got a new wheel over christmas. While I'm still about 5 secs off the WR's (Blackwood GP in the XFG), I've found that by not braking so late, and being more controlled through the corners, I keep my speed up, and do better laps.

I was thinking it would just be a matter of time before I started to knock time off my PB's. Each night I seem to get quicker, so it seems practice, and control are the keys. This thread has confirmed this for me.

Thanks for the read

Hi. Been playing off and on for a while, but got my steering wheel thingy working yesterday! Now it's really a fun game to play!
