I strongly doubt the track owner intentionally designed it to allow driving backward. Erik has tried to carefully balance the two main routes with DWS in mind, but this loophole ruins the race, it should be banned.

I think we should add a special rule for this track and case closed.

I thought it was already at max 90dgr angle. I don't see a problem with this.
Honestly, having a free-roaming camera not attached to car would be great, and being able to zoom out more would be cool too.

The dashboard is badass! Love the chrome rings around the gauges.

I vote for Melange XGT-88.

Live for Speed did a big update recently with dynamic lightning!

Can't believe this game was made in 2002.

Looks like there is a lot of players still playing this, peaking over 500 players daily. I'm actually a bit tempted to try it, but I don't have a good enough computer or a steering wheel+pedals.

Would love to read old articles but doesn't seem to find them. I read in another thread that they're in the news archive, but it's a hassle to scroll through everything there.

EDIT: Managed to find them. Would be nice to have a function to filter out Shoutbox messages from articles.

This is really not cool, but from what I can tell, the rules page only talks about this under the Team section, where it says you can't use teammates' replays.

Good idea Cas! It might be hard to detect automatically with good accuracy but it's still better than nothing.

I'm still pretty new to this community, so I won't make a full tier list, but after watching a bunch of replays from top players, I wanted to share some notable ones. This is just my personal list, sorry if I missed anyone.

Alien-tier 👽 - You start wondering if these players are human or some kind of secret AI experiment gone rogue.
Renato Biker, Ayrton, Alan Rotoi

S-tier 💎 - Flawless lines, no mistakes. Almost pixel-perfect driving.
Gutix, Duplode, CTG, Akoss Poo, FinRok, Alain

My ranking is mostly based on Duplode's Historical Folyami ranking (https://scr.stunts.hu/folyami.html)

Still, you've placed me in mid-B rank after KyLiE? My win rate against KyLiE is 9-1, while against Duplode it's 5-5 so far this season. It's gotta be something other than performance, right? There's no way this makes sense.

EDIT: Sorry I missed that you didn't rank within each tier. Still, able to defeat S-rank players after a over 20-year break and only B rank feels strange.

This is so cool!
It would be great to have one of the veterans create a video using this tier maker while explaining the reasoning behind their placement.

But there's an error.

I got this right now while trying to upload an animated gif on my team forum.

First of all, I think it's a shame that we won't get to see you in every race next year. I've always thought of you as the "final boss" each month.

I have to admit I feel called out by both points Argammon mentioned. I'm a sore loser and tend to blame other things, in this case the PTB system, instead of my own performance. That said, I still stand by my opinion that the PTB should be reviewed for next season, and you made some good points about it already.

I know that acknowledging the other player is important, no matter the outcome. It's something that both I and others should work on.
