Hi guys,

Two questions to the sim racers here:

1. I haven't been on the Locostbuilders server for a while now. Are there people still racing from time to time? At a given time and day maybe? Should we do it again if not?

2. There is a race series coming up shortly, first race will be 8 November.
The race is for UFR cars (the stronger Mini type). More info, race dates, rules, sign-up info to be found here:

LFS UFR race series link

Individuals or teams can both join. I am thinking of joining, but wondered: Is there someone from here that would be interested to form a 2 person Locost Team? I will most probably not be able to do all races. Also, I have absolutely no chance of winning, although I hope I will be able to qualify for the series...

Anyone interested?
Gergely

Yeah id be interested.

might wanna size that pic down a bit mate!

Hi,
I think LFS is excellent and try to make time to get online when possible.
I'd be interested too.
Cheers,
David

I will be up for that!!

OK then, we are 4.
We could make two teams then. The two faster and the two slower guys?
We need to record our best times in the car anyway and send it in when registering. We could have a Locost1 and Locost2 team based on our times.
The rules for the recorded lap are in the links somewhere. It is the South City Town course if I remember well, in the UFR, with 45% intake restriction.

I will start practice now and let you know my time in this topic in a few days. You could do the same and we decide on the teams and car graphics after that...

What do you think? Anyone got better ideas?

Gergely
p.s. I resized the pic, sorry about that...

Perhaps we could organise a night to get together and we can sort it out on the server?.
duno if theservers still up but i can sort that easy enough

That's a good idea! Let's do that!
I have checked and can't find the server up there. Can you sort that out Gav?

How about one evening this week? Wednesday maybe?

I checked and I got down to 1:35.77 until now, but I need to find a better setting for the car, my gearing is too long.
Gergely

Yep ill get the server sorted out tonight when i get home

S2 server should be up and running, ill be practicing

hey, hey,

Why didn't you u2u me?

I also have a lincense S2!

if you want to join directly you can goto the join game and use
LocostBuilders S2

first couple of goes ive got down to 1.38 but i need to sort out my setup too, what sort of top speed are you getting guys?

yep got around in 1min 38s. Dam 45% reduction!! Makes the car so slow!!!

1:35.68


My top speed under the bridge is 166.

I think I found a good setup. If anyone wants to try, I can send it online when we are racing.

So which evening are we going to race and form teams?

Gergely

I will probably be able to race tonight from around 20:00 GMT, maybe a little later... See you on LocostBuilders S2!
Gergely

we going for it tonight then? 8.00pm

aye why not, itll save me from an hour of super nanny...

oh the passsword is locost

Damn, I couldn't do it yesterday. I think Friday will be next when I have some time. How about Friday evening at 20:00 UK time? I will try to make it.
We had a great - although fairly short - race with matt.c on Tuesday. It was fairly even, although Matt won more races.
We should soon decide on our two man teams. The Friday race would be a good opportunity. I suggest teams with very similar paced drivers... Then we can register for the race series after Friday. Although there are more than 35 racers who applied, which is more than a full grid anyway... we'll see...

So Friday 20:00?

Will be online in a little while.

Team Locost are:
Matt.C and Gergely

Others welcome to join, but a Team Locost No.2 will be required as only 2-men teams are allowed for the series.

I have created a skin for Team Locost. Matt, what do you think? You can download both mine and yours from my Photo Archive. If you give me your preferred race number I will add that to your skin. Or if you want a sticker removed and replaced by something, let me know. But the two cars need to have the same base graphics.

Here is a picture in action...

Now record your hotlap so we can enter the race!

Gergely

My number will be 36 if i have reg properly in the site!

No. 36 added to your skin, it is in my photo archive, download it and save it in your LFS/data/skins folder to be able to use it. Also, upload it in LFS world!

By the way in LFS forum, your registration is fine! Just go back, edit it and click the attachment button in the grey message header where the font and size selections are. It is the one to the right from the smiley. Click it and upload the saved SPR file from your LFS/data/spr folder. Done!
I have registered as well, so we are ready to roll!

First race is 8 november, FE Green reverse, 10-15 laps, so short distance. We have plenty of time to practice and we need it as there surely will be qualifying...

Gergely

WOOPS!!!

All i can say is that in ENLGAND we drive on the left!!!!!!!

WOOPS! Click on me

Ok, so this all looks like good fun, but I have no idea what you have to do or how you go about starting out. Can anyone point me in the direction of some idiot friendly rules and directions, so that I can get started.

Mike

Well dont know where you want me to start so...

You can play it with a keyboard but for full enjoyment you need a wheel/pedal set
Download the game from www.lfs.net
Buy an S2 license from the same web site ~£20
in the game to to online games and goto the join a game by name option and type Locostbuilders S2 the password is locost
and practice like hell, if you want to race with someone post a message here and hopefully sone one will see it and get online.

Soon i will be organising a Locosters BEC championship, so practice in a LX4 might be helpfull

Yes!!! Locosters BEC Championship! Cool! I am up for that! But let's make sure we have plenty of people join!

I get used to driving a car then I sit in anotherone and it seems I have forgotten how to drive...
