GoNlympics - Live For Speed Tournament

[Mearehear]

mmm just got a 34.5, so getting a bit better. will make the racing interesting

Thats a very respectable time I think there will be a few of us feeling rather rusty at this lol, but I am betting I will see everyone start getting more and more competitive

[Mearehear]

Ok guys, its time to think about a race day/time, and seeing as we are a small bunch for the LFS event I though I would ask the question here of when suits best for all.

Firstly would hope to do it sooner rather than later, not this weekend as there is TF2 event etc on, but some night next week or that coming weekend, as there is guys who cant make it after that point.

So a week night next week, or a day on that coming weekend (28th/29th) - event will taker about an hour I guess, so have your say on when is best for you.

EDIT* Also we want to do a few prac sessions for any one interested, such as the less experienced guys. Tomrrow night isn't great for me, but I will be on Friday night on the GoN server, for any that wish to join have have some practice with other players

Are you kidding me? 1:39 is my best, BY FAR.

GOD DAMN THIS!

Setups will get you closer to the mark, but then its all about knowing how to make the most of the track. Maybe I, or someone, can post a vid from onboard view of a lap, showing gears etc

[Matty]

Hmm, maybe I should start practicing..

[Da Chucky]

Hmm, maybe I should start practicing..

Maybe I should too.

[Mearehear]

I just recorded a video with commentary on how to take a decent lap around Blackwood, with what gears you should be in etc. It is rendering now and I will upload when its done. Should help the newer guys to LFS get a better idea of a lap.

btw..I discovered trying to talk and explain a lap, while driving it, isnt so easy lol

EDIT - Done

[lucassot]

Dayum I am off the pace, 37.5 I think was my best lap in a 5 lap stint. Feels good to be back in LFS though

edit: 35.66 with the XFG, feel much more at home with that car heh.

[shodan]

Will try a few laps in half an hour or so.

Hopefully it's not as slidey as the videos make it look!

Gonna be on the GON server for a while if you want to join me! I'm getting on track in a few.

[shodan]

What's the GON server? Can't see it in the list. Will try to find on forum.

OK I can see it but can't join. Says 'host is S2'. Does that mean they aren't demo servers?

[lucassot]

Oh damn I thought there was 1 demo server & 1 S2 server. S2 is paid lisence content. Second server doesn't seem to be running

[Scarface.au]

Both servers are running - both on S2, but one is password protected because of MNR i believe? should change the other one to Demo so the demo racers can have a go online.

[Mearehear]

I'll message Hydra and request the open server to be set to demo content only

Should be no probs for anyone then

[Mearehear]

Ok have sent the message, hopefully Hydra has no probs making that change for us all soon.

If not I can run a temp server from my PC over the weekend, won't be pretty but will make do until the changes are done.

I've been pushed for time this week to get any prac in, but will be on for sure this weekend. IF you guys add me to steam, I have LFS as a steam shortcut, so you will be able to see when I am in LFS or not.

BTW - Shodan, are you considering racing now? I'll add you to a team if its a yes (Blue was given last member, so it would be Red for you), and if you need info on the other things you mentioned before just let me now
