1:13.44? That can't be right, since I'm getting 1:09 on this track (which, to say, is actually pretty poor)

burnsy · January 15th, 2008, 03:58 AM

Formula BMW, not the GTRs

Loz · January 15th, 2008, 04:21 AM

I have to say, i can get 1:07 in the FBMW here (With Low Fuel mind you) I think 1:13 is for someone who has never driven the track.

burnsy · January 15th, 2008, 04:40 AM

sorry, posted the wrong time, and setup for the wrong track.

epp_b · January 15th, 2008, 05:54 AM

Crap, 1:05 images/smilies/sad.gif

Typical, four seconds behind...

Loz · January 15th, 2008, 06:55 AM

Im only a few seconds behind, but its still a substantial margin. And the FBMW is the car im best in, i dread to think how i will cope in the FXR's ( I painted a special skin up too images/smilies/smile.gif

)

epp_b · January 15th, 2008, 02:27 PM

^ They'll be easier than the crappy FWD and road cars we drove last season. For me, anyway.

pdanev · January 15th, 2008, 11:26 PM

^ Enlighten me please why exactly you think so? images/smilies/smile.gif

I find that they handle better in relation the rest of their performance than the cars of last season did.

Loz · January 16th, 2008, 04:19 AM

What would be a good fuel strategy for this? It apparently uses 1.1% per lap, so i assume about 12% per stint for the feature?

pdanev · January 16th, 2008, 09:18 AM

Well, epp_b, imho there's nothing wrong with the road cars. Furthermore, I'm pretty sure that a person with rational thinking will find them easier to drive. They have way less power (especially power/weight), they don't have spoilers hence aerodynamics is not a part of the equation, and they don't run on slicks.

Also, simple average joe's logic will tell you that if you can't handle something that has an average speed of X, it won't be easier to drive something with the average speed of 5X.

What you are saying is don't worry, a diesel golf has a really crappy handling, but you'll do just fine in an F1 car.

Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to suggest is that you shouldn't blame the cars, rather try to learn. images/smilies/smile.gif

You shouldn't refuel on the pit stop if you don't have to. It takes too long and you won't gain that time back by having a lighter car. So just take 27,5% right from the start. (you could add a bit extra to make sure you don't run out of fuel)

No I'm not, because this is a video game images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

FireFox · January 18th, 2008, 07:25 PM

I've added a new module to lfs.finalgear.com images/smilies/smile.gif

Its using LFSworld Remote Spectator made in flash.
http://lfs.finalgear.com/modules/lfswremote/
This will give Finalgear visitors a nice view of our LFS server images/smilies/smile.gif

It will automatically connect to our LFS S2 [FG] Racing server. 8)
+ I've update the layout of the website a bit. images/smilies/smile.gif

pdanev · January 18th, 2008, 07:47 PM

Nice!

Although there are a few issues with some of the things on the main page.

FireFox · January 18th, 2008, 07:53 PM

Yeah i'm aware of those.
Countdown is 1 hour too late. (To the sprint race)
The racer list, is just an 'list'. When the racerlist is bigger than 4 racer, it will expand the box.

Mischief007 · January 19th, 2008, 03:01 AM

Hey sweetie, why aren't I in the scrolling list of personal bests? Huh??

Erik, sorry bud, I just did a 1:07.11 and I know I can go faster. With fuel I can still consistently hit 1:07s and low 1:08s.

Again though, I may or may not stay for the race.
