If there is an engaged clutch between the engine and gearbox (i.e. in a manual transmission, or auto with lock up), then the engine will continue to reciprocate faster and faster. A rev limiter may ensure a lack of fuel but it won't stop valve float (which even without combustion will still have an effect on engine braking), or your con rods from snapping from the increased stress due to the ever faster moving pistons applying larger forces to them. I don't see heat being a problem. If you kept the rpm very high and the conrods didn't break, then there is the possibility of the the valve springs fatiguing and failing, or without enough bounce, colliding with the pistons.
With just a torque converter, there is no direct connection between the engine and wheels, but the fluid will only allow so much slip, so you'll get the same problem, only it'll happen at a slightly (10%?) higher speed.

Thanks for keeping us posted. You do seem to get a lot of hardware failures though?
Papa, all of my sites and emails are currently down (30 hours of downtime now!). I am waiting on my host to fix this.
Thanks for the update.
I agree, while it's excellent to know Franky's on the case, if it's been this long it's clearly a non trivial issue, it would be nice to have a bit of an update before too much longer.
Web servers have fallen over again.
If they were going to build a McLaren F1 replica, they could have at least got the central driving position too.
4 in practise, 5 in the first race, 6 in the second.
Well there's a slim chance of getting some LFS branded bread sometime soon.
More drunkeness would be good, but what's with all the Bob hating? It's only going to get more challenging if I keep up the weight training and you stay a skinny bitch.
I should have asked which way you were going and gotten you to wait five mins, instead of driving hard to catch you up. Could have had a bit more fun together on the twistier, roundabout punctuated roads then, rather than the boring M4 I eventually caught you up on.
Had another great time as usual, thanks to Jason once more for organising and hosting. Almost disappointed the night was a more quiet affair compared to last year, I guess I should have brought another spirit selection along, and somebody should have stopped Tor from falling asleep.
Also, did nobody catch a photo of me while driving? Only spotted myself in the background of one of peterule's photos. What happened to the photo's Dave took? Or have I missed a link somewhere?

It's an interesting demo concept (time limitation) but it's ridiculously short for this type of product. You need a week, not half an hour! Time to get a couple of friends going, hook up online, see if you can enjoy the racing.
@cargame.nl - I have heard that, yes. My housemate is Norweigan so she's keeping me up to date, since she's obviously concerned. She's moving back there in a couple of weeks, not the best of timing! Does mean she can get all the facts from her 'local' news sites.
Having now read this thread, I understand why the messages were reported. Suppose I should give them another look.
"How many dentists does it take to change a lightbulb? Three. One to administer the anaesthetic, one to extract the lightbulb, and one to offer the socket some vile pink mouthwash."
...56 translations later we get:
"Dental office Lighting. Anaesthesia and pink lips."

1) I can't imagine this working in any nice manner. Better to have a simple fully 3D driving model, IMO.
2) Surprisingly simple, if you wish. Totally depends if you want things to work the same as real life, or just kinda similar. The latter option opens up many more possibilities.
The Unreal engine comes with a super simple driving model, although I find the tyre model built in to PhysX (nxWheelShape) is pretty damn atrocious. I could write something simpler yet easier to drive.

Maybe his father was almost infertile and there was just the one sperm?
Hard to follow when it's sped up that much.
Proof the East is more technological; they see in widescreen. 
To be fair, if I had to fight a world class boxer, I wouldn't want to do it more than once a year either. 
We only allow selling threads for sim-racing related hardware, sorry.
From my own research into bottled ales, I have found they are typically in the 4.0 to 5.5% range (from sampling 121 different bottles).

MIKE333ACE, we generally prefer that users post with their licenced account, if they have one.
Taking it easy, going to the gym a lot, with the weather we have here today (sunshine! in Britain! can you believe it?!) I think I'll go to the beach. I keep meaning to start work on VHPA again, will no doubt start soon as I'm running out of other things to occupy my time.
Nope, I have had interviews with Codemasters and Rockstar North but they both turned me down. Got another interview lined up, hoping I get third time lucky because no income is starting to make enjoying life tricky.
Now I see your post above mine.
It was still worth posting though, seeing as mine is written in English.
