Re: Every Wednesday @8.30-late, Live For Speed online racing!

Bear in mind that I only got S1 a couple of weeks ago, and I haven't really played with the other cars yet - so I'm much better with the GT than the GTT, or any of the S1 cars (although I have unlocked them all).

Wednesday Races :

imoc_5.mpr
imoc_5_2.mpr
imoc_5_3.mpr
imoc_5_4.mpr
imoc_5_5.mpr
imoc_5_6.mpr

imoc_5_6.mpr is the incident one - think it was a racing incident, I picked to go left, your tankslapper then pushed you left... (7:05 onwards).

Re: Every Wednesday @8.30-late, Live For Speed online racing!

grrr - I'll check the replay this evening, and post some links. Some really good racing, usually involving a quicker person getting out of posistion and then racing back through the field. The incident in question was a good race, with me chasing down CJB, before he half spun right in front of me on...

Re: Every Wednesday @8.30-late, Live For Speed online racing!

Saw that over the weekend, then thought about upgrading my graphics card so that when S2 does come out, it'll look like that... then remembered that would necessitate a new mobo, then remembered a new mobo would mean a new case....

thankfully Feb is the shortest month of the year...

Re: Mk1 Tyres

Another vote for the potenzas - stonking amount of traction (when scrubbed in) in the wet, more than enough to go sailing past Caterhams/Elises when they are tip-toeing around in the wet :) Not the best for trackdays, since when they let go, it's pretty much too late to catch it, but certainly bette...

Re: Every Wednesday @8.30-late, Live For Speed online racing!

Was some good close racing though, I went back to standard setup for much oversteering/lockup fun, and I tried CJBs setup, which seemed to bounce around everywhere :)

I'll post the replay files I have later.

BTW - Screenshots of S2 blackwood (rebuilt)

Re: I Want to learn to drive FAST!!!

a good beginners circuit, but can catch out the unwary (ie goddards)
- Braking for the hairpin can be tricky.....

Re: Every Wednesday @8.30-late, Live For Speed online racing!

I've also got the replay from that one - what you don't see in that video is that Brian (in a tubby) drops it on the exit from the chicane (about 10 seconds later), scattering the following cars.. :)

Re: ARP rod bolt snap !

Has it been apart before (i.e been torqued up and relaxed, then torqued up again)? - because necking is usually associated with fatigue, like you say, the bolts could just be use-once item.

Re: The new mk4 mr2?

heh - not me though, I only fall off at higher speeds than that. Didn't say it handles great, just that it feels good. It does have 20odd year old suspension, so it's never going to handle brilliant :)
