I only really play Live For Speed S2 lately with some friends or 'alone' on random servers I've played LFS S2 for a long time now (probably 4 years ish?). I rarely play it anymore due to the fact I'm bored of the same content over and over again, so I've moved on to better race sims (RACE07 and rFactor) I'd like to say I'm pretty well known through the LFS community due to the fact I'd played it for such a long time. Hehe, well, considering we normally drive like this, I don't think my friends and I have a need to 'upgrade' to a better racing sim [edit] video is slightly old so the link at the end of the vid no longer works

Not the cars that I drive then (I'm usually found in UF1/XFG/TBO class - I used to be world record holder with UF1 on FE Club). That is when I race on LFS which isn't that often these days. www.lfsworld.net/?win=stats&racer=mr_xthere's my online stats - as you can see, since the LFS World reset, I've not set alot of PBs at all!

Heh, I basicly drive anything, except for the MRT and the RAC, those are just not my thing XFG's are indeed great fun on a crowded server, as they allow for very close racing. When I'm racing with friends though, we usually drive FOX's and the GTR class cars.

Here you can see me making a mistake while leading a race in the UF1 May-Hem cup last year. The carnage that came after that was quite impressive. And also kerb hopping at Fern Bay (skin made by me) Aaaaah... those were the good times for LFS.... I wonder if they will ever return.

Haha, cool I guess you will like the CTRA 1 server. That's limited to XFG's and XRG's and often has good close racing with a full pack

I'd like the CTRA severs if LFS didn't have the stupid 'clutch' model it has in it now... unfortunately, the way it is now there is no fun at all with it

What's wrong with the clutch? The fact that it can overheat now when you let it slip too much?

Everything is wrong with it... it's awful!!
It's taken 90% of the fun out of LFS.
Also it's not in the slightest realistic, I'd be pretty buggered if the clutch in my car heated as fast as they do in LFS!

I'd be surprised if it arrived that early, release is the 29th and publishers are very keen to not allow people to get it too early. I'm at work on Tuesday, there'll be some in the delivery, so I'm gonna buy mine first thing avec staff discount. No fannying about pre-ordering involved I'm also looking forward to GTA:IV coming out because it might clear some of the bumper-cars racers out of the Gran Turismo online mode and leave it for the people who want to race.

I'm aware that there have been leaked copies for the 360 available on the internet but officially it's unlikely to arrive until the release date. Games and music embargoes are usually very strict.

Ahhhrrrrgggg. Codemasters have finally ruined the Colin McRae games. I've just played a demo of DiRT and it's gone all nasty and americanised. I don't want to be told "go get 'em, tiger" by some yank git before I do a super special stage. All the menus are like that too. I'm sure they can be turned off but now it just appears they're using the late Colin's name no differently now than EA use the FIFA series

Well, I got the despatch email. Where did you order from? I know several places say they despatched yesterday but that just means they've left their office/have their tracking number, which can be printed off at their warehouses. When it comes to actually posting them, they won't be til Monday... Still, I'm holding out hope!

Nope, if you downloaded the program before, you can go online with it now... If you didn't then unfortunately it's tough titties... They've deleted it from the Playstation Store... They suspended it due to stupidly high levels of people trying to log on at the same time. Oh, and Richie, I'd pop down to Asda before Tuesday, it appears there's several branches already flogging it! I can (just about) wait til Tuesday however... Mainly as I say because I've taken the day off... And it was despatched on Friday!
