Snow? 43°C here.

It is plastic. Some kind of vegetal plastic made with alcohol because FIA cares about the world and stuff. *cough*

Quote from de Souza :

Just saw the winner's trophy, it's designed by Oscar Niemeyer using a "green plastic". I'll try to find some pictures tomorrow when it's oficially presented.

Clicky.


Edit: Cool, the checkered will be held by Anthony Hamilton if Lewis wins the WDC - or Titônio Massa if Felipe gets it.

Here we go again...

Oh I love this track. As I don't care for Felipe or Lewis, I hope the best of them wins and we don't have any dirty moves from any of the parts involved. Rain would be interesting.

On a side note, lol @ the track map. "Reta oposta" means "back straight", so... yeah... it's not a corner.

^^ Sounds good.

I was thinking about the single seaters... I mean, is there any single seater league/event in the world with driver swapping? If not, why?

I don't remember the older photos in the main page of the website to know if it's normal, but shouldn't it have a photo of São Paulo/Interlagos instead of Rio de Janeiro?

I couldn't care less as well, it's just that I have nothing better to do.

China results are up. Looks like someone made it into the top 10.

Edit: we're gonna win some caps too. :P

Happens here as well. Now I'm confused, but I think it used to work with 9.5x...

After seeing the footage my veredict is:

Bring gravel traps back!

Agreed.

Edit: maybe not typical but after the s/f line there's 600m to T1, so the braking on cold tyres/brakes is much harder than usual. To me it was kind of expected to see tyres locking and cars going wide.

Fuji start: onboard Massa plus heli cam. Quality could be better though, anyone has seen a high quality version of this?

Hamilton at T3 reminded me of Brazil 2007 for some reason...

Quote from zeugnimod :

OK.

:chairs:

Oh, and somebody slap me for getting rid of the Elf fuel after the 4th or 5th race of the season. I would have at least 200 more points now if I stayed with that fuel.

My pleasure. :chair:

Can we have Hamilton and Massa to explode their cars before the next race's start? I just can't stand them anymore...

Anyways, it was a surprisingly good race. Too bad it got screwed by those who don't have a ******* idea what racing is. Bourdais' penalty was just.... such a... well.. nevermind.

Somebody slap me for changing Alonso for Kovalainen. :ashamed:

Since people are taking this thread seriously...

Quote from wheel4hummer :

I also think that 0 is not nothing.

If you didn't play LFS today (read: you played LFS zero times today), how many times did you play LFS today? hint: it is not an infinitely small value, unless you sleepwalk or something...

@0.999... discussion: 0.999... does not tend to anything, it's just 0.999... What tends to 1 is it's estimate value, wich we created to make real life applications possible (you can't do math with a number when you don't know it's exact value - like 0.999...).

Wow it was better than I expected. Good number of cars, clean race.

My first laps were sad, one by one the XFGs were passing me. After some laps it settled and I could race on my own pace, but couldn't improve much. Managed to get away from Ihab but couldn't catch Hypothraxer.
Then after my pitstop I was suddenly in a much better position. Smack was catching me but he had to pit, so I was alone in the track for the last 10 minutes or so.
Congrats to FiredUp for his amazing pace, and the top 3.

Quote from J@tko :

Hmm, no-one told me the pass - I was going to come in and watch

Yeah, we decided to password it before the race to avoid random people joining and lagging and spamming. But seems like I forgot the non-random people...

Quote from shiny_red_cobra :

I'm up for this too, just saw it now, and god knows I love a good xfg+xrg race.

Quote from tonyonparas :

I just saw this post, but i think I´ll show up. Souds fun.
Now I´m off to practice

Awesome! Just hop in the server, we're practicing.

FOX for me as well.

Quote from pacesetter :

What cars is everyone driving, havent done ANY practice, but im confident i can do well with the XRG

Had a few laps yesterday with the Sonicrealms guys, people seem to prefer the XRG. I know I'll be using it.

Quote from Ihab Abbas :

I cant do it Sunday , u said 4-10 !!! and cuz of that I entered the event !!! pls confirm the date and time !!

Yeah, so sorry about that... The race will be indeed on sunday...

Blurred several-years-old 15'' CRT at 1024x768@60Hz.

Yup. It probably won't have one unless there's a lot of people... Either way on sunday I'll PM everybody that posted here as a reminder and with the right server information.

Great. I have another offer as well so let's see how it goes till sunday. But thanks for offering yours, we can use it if needed.
