I haven't yet put in a lap because I can't get round the track without skidding off. :schwitz::D

Good choice of cars available - front wheel drive, 4 wheel drive and rear wheel drive all together. :thumb:

[dougie-lampkin]

From what I can gather:


New S2'ers will probably use the XRT (They have adapted to it from the demo)
Beginners will use the RB4 (Easy to control)
Those wanting a challenge will use the FXO (Slightly faster, but needs correct set and driving skills)So...what will YOU take?

1.24? in what car - a BF1? Look at the combo sheet again. Otherwise - you're bloody quick, and beaten the WR by nearly a minute.

I was gonna drive the RB4 as a laugh. Watch me as I drift round the entire course. I'll be driving the FXO, even though I hate it as I have a nice skin already and I won't spin off.

[kABLiuks]

d'oh :D no its 2:22 :) sorry... but i will use RB4, while its the easiest to take control and move round slow corner without killing tyres

The FXO is my favourite car to look at and skin (because you can make it into a Volvo, BMW, Audi or pretty much anything you want)

But I hate it to drive lol :D

[Technique]

I'd really like to race with you guys but I'm probably going to miss this race as well due to work.

All I have to say is round 5 I will be back in full force! :)

[evilpimp]

Before season started when the server was changing combos every once in a while I got a 1:23.220 in XRT... I think I can beat it though.

I also think ill be using XRT but not because im used to it but more because I have an ultimate set created by Devil Z :D!

- Off Topic - I HAVE MY NEW PC 200 FPS YEAHHH!!!

HAHA Mine Pwns yours, 200 FPS and I once got 360 :)

btw its 210 with highest graphics settings :) I bet if i put it down i can get 300. Besides there isnt a difference you can feel between 200 and 360 lol. It feels the same, its lag free from 75 since its ur monitors refresh rate (At least tthats were mine is)

[niall09]

Well FXO would be the obvious choice for the beginners, it is by far the easiest to drive - and the quickest, too :)

But itll burn the tires so quickly... Its a how many lap race 10?

[dougie-lampkin]

Read 10 posts up - it's a 7 lap race :)

1 set of rubbers should be no problem in any car for 7 laps I'd say...

[TG44]

well the track isn't too short imo...

I'll be driving the XRT. cos i'll kill the tyres in an RB4 and i hate to drive the FXO. (and i love RWD!!!!! :D)

but yea you'll see a lot of drifting from me in the race.. (I just can't help it.. it's the fastest way to go around the corners in an XRT anyway:schwitz:...)

just gotta get myself a lap time now.... :really:

[dougie-lampkin]

hmm, I'd probably be faster around AS if we put barriers down the middle and put /cruise on :razz:

The XRT will burn its rears just as fast :shrug:

[mccoll99]

so far a 2:23 offline is my best but consistantly about 2:24-2:25 over a race distance. Looking forward to FP!

[dekojester]

I will have the server on practice mode all weekend, the FPs will be run in qualify mode as per usual.

Only official LFSBC Sessions are the FPs and Qual and Race.

[J@tko]

Oh dear. Just done combo for first time and got a 2.26. I can do a 2.25, but not very well. It'll be a fantastic video - people will be sliding their cars all over the place. IMO, AS NO is the best track in LFS. It has a bit of everything, but most of all, the fast, twisty back section that is my favourite part of any track.

I might drop out of this one, and drive the SC. :shrug:

[dougie-lampkin]

I _could_ do the whole back section flat out, but if this is going to be in a video, I'd rather not risk the inevitable fail :D

[GTR_Yuni]

If I'm in, I pray that the FXO drivers melt their fronts, the XRT drivers do nothing but drift all over the place, and that the RB4 drivers are just outright slower than me.

Why?

Because I didn't practice.

[dekojester]

I _could_ do the whole back section flat out, but if this is going to be in a video, I'd rather not risk the inevitable fail :D

My lovely video of my Epic Fail there in the one get-togehter was because of my flat-out attempts in that back section.

:D

[dougie-lampkin]

lol I think I may even go so far as to brake then :razz:

[JO53PHS]

lol I think I may even go so far as to brake then :razz:

TBH dougie, I preferred your old avatar... :razz:

[dougie-lampkin]

lol I got sick of it, and needed to change...I'm working on a new one :shrug:

[GTR_Yuni]

I think I'm the fastest.

Anyone care to beat my time of 2:13?

[evilpimp]

With what car?

[GTR_Yuni]

RB4 isn't supposed to rule here, yet I manage to post a 2:10 after a very lucky slide into the final chicane...
edit: I can only run consistent 2:11s and 2:12s, but with a longer 5th gear maybe I can shave a few tenths to do under 2:11s consistently...

[evilpimp]

Erm either you beat World Record or you got the wrong track :S Its AS7 - Aston North.

WR is at 2:17

DEKO HELP!

It is Aston North.

I got screwed up and mistakenly put that.

Probably thinking of Kyoto National at the same time for some silly reason

[Dalek0220]

I'm not racing in this round - I won't make it as I am working on stuff.

If your wondering what I'm working on, I'm hacking into Sonic 1, Sonic 2 and Sonic 3&K - for the Sonic - Beginners Luck series.:D

I love the FOX - so I'll be in that round + the others.

[GTR_Yuni]

At best I can only run 2:25s (at Aston North in a RB4) consistently. You people are crazy (for beginners).

[pacesetter]

Im really looking forward to this round.

[evilpimp]

Im really looking forward to this round.

Not me :S Havent had time to practice really.. im still chosing a car. With FXO I got a 1 22 tho.

1:22?

Did you use a BF1?

[Fredthebest]

1:22?

Did you use a BF1?
Obviously not since he stated he used the FXO.

[dougie-lampkin]

I think he meant 2:22 :shrug:

[pacesetter]

I hate the last corner i only got two flying laps and i got stuck in the gravel both times :(

[evilpimp]

I think he meant 2:22 :shrug:
yeh lol i mean 2:22

Ill be using RB4 I got 2:21.41 and Taylor is using RB4 but he got a 2:20.95.

:P

[dougie-lampkin]

I'm not gonna do so well here...my PB 2:26, but I mainly put in 2:30s lol

[Stan]

Looks like you'll be racing me for last place then Dougie :)

[dougie-lampkin]

lol you're on :)

I was really looking forward to this round but now Im not. I think though you might have changed your mind after being quickest or 2nd quickest!

[kABLiuks]

yeh lol i mean 2:22

Ill be using RB4 I got 2:21.41 and Taylor is using RB4 but he got a 2:20.95.

:P

bloody fast... may i guess, that you burn tyres fast?

[dougie-lampkin]

In FXO, I get 1 lap outta a set of tyres...so I switched to RB4 and now I still only get 5 laps...it's not like I'm doing something wrong, I did R2 on one set whilst nearly everyone else had to change...

[pacesetter]

Its a bit late but what they could do is lengthen the race and put into a pitstop.....I wouldnt mind that:scratchch (this would level the field out again

[dougie-lampkin]

Yes. Even a length of 10 laps would be perfect, with 1 required pitstop...

Sorry guys. No can do.

Way too late.
Take over 30 mins
People would have to mod setups in short space of time:shrug:

[dougie-lampkin]

No probs, with my driving, my tyres probably won't even reach green :schwitz:I absolutely suck at Aston :shrug:

[evilpimp]

bloody fast... may i guess, that you burn tyres fast?

Yes. Lap 1-3 I can get in the 21s then lap 4-5 I get in the 22s then 6-7 is goes all the way to 23s lol.

Burns rubbers! But if im in front even if I start understeering, like my race with taylor yesterday, I can race defensivly if im in front :P.

Btw, Taylor and I made a team called TA - The Aliens :P

[pacesetter]

How? It wouldnt be too bad. Or maybe we could do an non points scoring race at 8pm with 10 laps and a pitstop?

[dekojester]

Thanks to hyntty for making me aware of this:

You must use the car you qualified with for the race.

This will be added to the rulebook after the race, but is effective from this point.
