Hi everyone! My name is Silvio, I'm from Brazil.. and well, I love racing I've been simracing since 2009, spent some time on rfactor, but most on netkarpro since. I enjoy also very much rallying on Richard Burns Rally. A big regret of mine was to try out LFS just recently, because it was love at first drive. Fantastic physics and FFB... Althoug I have some experience in simracing, I´m new to LFS... it´s universe is huge, and I am still learning it's ways. I'm having a bit of a hard time, but I get there. I'm looking forward to race this fantastic sim. You can expect from me a fair and clean racing driver. Sometimes I do my mistakes (who doesn't), but despite I race hard, I try to race as fair as possible, because at the end of the day what matters for me is enjoying the battles, winning or loosing them, the fun comes from fair racing. Hope I can meet you guys on track soon.. what's on schedule? Cheers to all and thanks for having me here

Hello Silvio and welcome to Liveforspeed.be, I think you should like it here LFS is indeed the best reacting simulation I have ever tried, I still enjoy Grand-Prix-Legends from time to time but the frustration it brings out more frustration than fun in the end, unlike LFS. You might find this place a little quiet right now, we interrupted the championship season to allow the younger players to study and the older to ... celebrate (we're belgian, aren't we !? ) But we still gather to race every sunday night, 8:30PM Brussel's time. You can find Brussel's time on the clock, on the front page at www.liveforspeed.beAnd the complete program of official races too under the "calendar" menu. Once the championship restart, you will receive the race mail with the password to join the private races on sunday. You can also post here in the "I'll be online" section and tell us when we can join you on our server for some training. I know I need some. see you on track ! Xt.

thanks for the warm welcome xtian, very much appreciated.
I tell you, last year I've been to Brussels, spent a couple of days there and absolutely loved it. Another thing I can tell straight away, you do have the best beers in the world! I had a really great time among Duvels, Deliriums and many others I can´t recall their names, because at that point I could not memorize, mind you. That said, I agree you have plenty of great reasons to celebrate!
About the sims, I agree LFS is one of the best ffb I ever tried, really good stuff. Netkar pro is as good imo, perhaps a little bit behind, but that depends on the car... I had a really great time on nkpro, but now it´s quite dead especially that Assetto Corsa early access been out for a couple of weeks.. but honestly, theres something weird about it that I can´t put my finger on... is good tough, but not as natural as LFS.. I loved the M3 E30 there, but not so much the other cars...
Anyway, I´m looking forward to race long races in LFS, which I didn´t yet.. my favorite car by now is the LX4... I like the LX6 also a lot, but that´s a little beast that requires a bit more from myself... the LX4 power seems more balanced, and I see you have a league running those, am I right? If true, and if there is a place available I´d like to go for that.
Again, thanks for having me around, and hopefully see you guys on track soon enough!
merry xmas and happy new year to all!

Too bad, you missed the official LX4 race by two week, it was december 8th, but it's one of my favourite car so you can be sure that it will be raced again next season. Try to join us one of those two next sunday for the open races and we will use that car for a change. After the winter break, you can take part in any official race you want, next training race (no points) is january 12, FBM@AS1R, then official championship race january 19 with the same combo.
And uh... I've never been to Brazil.

huge country I tell you, but most of it is about the extensive coast and nearby. For your standards I suppose you will hate the beers but appreciate everything else.
One question, is AS1R equals Aston Cadet Reverse? May sounds dumb but, just to make sure I get it right... lfs newby you know...
Another question, is there a place in the forum I can find more info about the schedule? I researched it tough but couldn't find info about this event for instance... perhaps I'm not knowing how to look for it...
thanks again!

yeps, indeed Silvastone I try to check the forum from time to time but I often don't.. Just a reminder we have a Facebook page to : www.facebook.com/groups/106916269396499?ap=1Also useful to know is that if you don't receive the racemail , you can always find a copy of it on the forum.. Just make sure your logged into it to have access to that section. Also, as told on the welcoming mail, that you know the safety car rule.. I looking forward to race with you !!

tx fot the welcome Juanjo and hanziboy!
Yes, I have read the rules, also the safety car rules. I think I get both and will do my best to behave properly. I may struggle a little in a given situation which I'm not familiar with but I think I learn fast enough.
Cya on track!

Just join the server by using the "multiplayer" tab when you launch lfs.
