I've been racing every night for the last four days on my Ras server with guys like Ed White, George Sandman, Mitch A., Steve, Andreas, Doug H., Ymenard, Brian F., Seamus, Darf, and a bunch of others. The racing has been SUPERB with you guys. Some of the things that have happened have been amazing to be part of, or witness. :-o Most fun I've had racing online in a few years. Not a single bad word or complaint by anyone either. Just wanted to say thanks. :-) David G Fisher
Yepp, love the game! :) ive been up 2 nights in a row, just to play the game, up to 5am or so :) Im afraid how it will be when the full game comes out, :/ "David G Fisher" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:otk99.136953$[email hidden]... > I've been racing every night for the last four days on my Ras server with > guys like Ed White, George Sandman, Mitch A., Steve, Andreas, Doug H., > Ymenard, Brian F., Seamus, Darf, and a bunch of others.

This has been the most fun racing online for me also. This little sim is so addicting. I am really amazed that we are not seeing a bigger turnout. Now I really gotta go get some sleep. Been working on about 3 hours sleep a nite for the last 4 days. We are all gonna be homeless if this keeps up <G> But regardless, I will be there again tomorrow nite! George Sandman

I think we're going to have to get the LFS guys nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize... they've unified RAS! I wonder if they're free to travel to Palestine? ;o) I've only just made the time to earn the points for the turbo.... and scared myself sh*tless trying to get round a lap without losing the back end. Reminds me of the first days of GPL all over again! Perhaps I ought to stick to the basic cars, more my skill level I think! Haven't raced online properly yet, but I've seen enough to be able to imagine how good it could be. Andrew McP PS While I'm thinking about it, LFS seems to be everything I hoped the TOCA Touring Cars games would be when they were first previewed. Looked so promising, but they were "just" fun games in the end. LFS gives us the same style of racing but a *totally* different experience.
I got the full ,Government recommended ,4 hours sleep last nite. Whats the problem? ;-) I cant believe how fun it is to race in a tight pack...ALL THE WAY AROUND THE TRACK FOR 3 LAPS RACE AFTER RACE !!! Banging doors, bumping and beeping horns the whole way. It has been extremely fun. Very clean races. Very addictive. The scary part is that this is only a beta with 2 tracks and three cars.

Your words are so true...I have never raced online with a bunch of guys that can control their cars so well. This is a big reason why the racing is so good. These guys have very obviously been there done that many times before. The password must have kept out the idiots !!!

Thanks to you for hosting, David, and to all for good clean, if not quite contact-free racing. ;-) Hope to be back with sound and two pedals soon!

I was there last night for a few minutes, but when Dave reset the server I was never able to get back in again. It would lock up whenever the race list came up. -Larry "Steve Blankenship" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:4lr99.143636$[email hidden]...

The type of racing you're talking about reminds me of MTM2 online. It was great fun. Besides the guys you're racing with, the other things that contribute to *fun* online racing are there, too. The cars aren't too difficult to set up (you don't have to be an engineer) and the physics model is pretty good (the cars don't feel, unlrealistically, like they're on ice) I just downloaded the game last night and gave it a try. It looks like I'm going to want to try this one online, too. Where can I go to race? -- Slot Tweaks & Reviews www.slottweak.com

LFS gives us the >same style of racing but a *totally* different experience. My thoughts entirely. After the first TOCA release there was no way that I was going to touch any others unless I heard differently. This game has the potential to be everything that those TOCA games failed to achieve. It really feels like the same 'door banging' experience that I see when I watch it on the box. Great fun, though the AI door banging can be even more kamikaze than the real thing, lol! Gotta try this online soon. -- Peter Ives (AKA Pete Ivington) Remove ALL_STRESS before replying via email If you know what's good for you, don't listen to me GPLRank Joystick -50.63 Wheel -21.77
Thanks to everybody for the great clean racing and for hosting David... it's been a total blast. I'll be back to race you guys many times. Steve.
