Awww, why?

Didn't find time to train or build a set. Plus I wasn't very interested by this combo in the first place.

Quote from TFalke55 :

Let's say it will not be forbidden, but since this is supposed as a team competition and a team consists of at least two drivers, there might be a point penalty.

OK, thanks.

Quote from mange_e :

Did you have a race yesterday?

and did anyone save a replay of it?

Yes, we did have a race. It was great, 10 cars at the finish, and some rather close racing for that car. Thanks for picking this combo, it seems that everyone liked it.

Here's the replay: http://www.sendspace.com/file/ofzrqi

I also have the quali replay if you wish.

Will it be allowed to do the whole races on your own with no driver swaps?

Round 2 on the day of the Indy 500, oh well.

Quote from rockclan :

Provost said it would be in 2 days, so it should be available by now.

Will contact him and keep you updated.

Thanks.

Is there an on demand version available please?

Quote from teppo.jr :

still is... maybe if that new hrt teams follower wont get team up :/

Hmm, this was IIRC when Mosley announced the budget cap(which was later scrapped).

Starting a proper F1 team from scratch is near impossible today with no budget cap, and I really don't see ART risking their whole operation over an half-baked F1 ego-trip, really not their kind.

But if one day a restrictibe budget cap come back into play(and I do belive it's a necessary step, although the big spenders will not agree and will most likely play hard-ball until it gets adopted), then who knows.

Dallara... Now that's another name you see about everywhere.

Great :/ where they wouldnt be yet (oh yea f1 )

Weren't there talks about a possible F1 entry a few years ago?

Quote from rockclan :

Pit is closed during Safety Car, untill the field is pretty much caught up.

Can't see the point of this personally. While I see no genuine benefit, it will unfairly screw people trying to stretch their stints, and put an extra workload on the officials(keeping in mind that one of them will be driving the Safety Car in the meantime, and therefore will be unable to monitor the pitlane infridgements for the duration of the Safety Car period).

The "closed pit" rule is primarily used in real life to protect the lifes of the track marshalls, and therefore it is completely irrelevant in an online environment with no track workers(although one could use the very same argument against Safety Car procedures, but that's another debate).

But at the end of the day you're the boss, so we'll have to accept and obey this rule for now.

Quote from rockclan :

When pitting during SC for another reason, you can expect a penalty in the results.

Yes, I hope that this rule will be enforced properly.

Please do keep in mind that:


1) It is not unlikely to see people ignoring that rule by sheer negligence, especially as it has been announced only 14 hours before the stary.

2) One can gain a significant amount of time by ignoring this rule(for example, see Nico Rosberg at the 2008 Singapore GP).

3) A Drive Through penalty does not have a big impact in terms of time loss at FE3.

Another SC-related question: do pits close under Safety Car conditions at some point, or do they remain open all race long?

Oh, you can always count on ART for being in the hunt. Keep in mind that they're yet to be defeated in the teams' championship in GP3.

I think Niederhauser at Jenser will be a bit of a dark horse, especially if there's a few wet races.

Quote from MoMo92i :

Just realized ART GP cars aren't wearing any Lotus livery anymore :o

Yes, they've also dropped the Lotus name too.

Thanks for the good thread.

With the new car and the much improved talent pool, GP3 will be one of the highlights this year.

Although it is not listed here F3 Open will be one to watch too, they've been attracting pretty good grids lately.

Too bad that Disposable seems to have given up on the DD1 skins project.

Unlikely I suppose, but if anyone feels like re-starting the project somehow it would be cool to include the player 2 cars:

Quote from TFalke55 :

bild.de announced and Mercedes confirmed: Ralf Schumacher stays while Robert Kubica is out for DTM. Gary Paffett, Christian Vietoris, Robert Wickens and Roberto Mehri also seem to be fixed for the season. Still it is not said if Mercedes continues with 8 or reduces its program to 6 cars, as Norbert Haug expressed his thoughts at the end of the season. With Toto Wolff saying he wants to concentrate on Formula 1, this might be the case.

So basically they are now putting all their eggs on the same basket(Gary Paffett).

They already let two of their best elements slip away over the last 2 years(Bruno Spengler and Jamie Green), without naming a single equal replacement afterwards. This might bite them very soon.

Quote from Stavka :

Hi,

Ok, it was the 1st time i enter in a server in this simulator, but i started to play games and simulators since 1989 and online experience since 1994. "Amazing" was today i tried to enter in the DMMotorsport_DragPT and after 2 secs seeing guys talking in chat and some cars running i wrote in the chat, because my polite rules, "Hi", imagine my surprise when after 2 seconds i was kicked voted and be banned from this server! "Amazing", because i was polite? It was not because a high ping (17ms). What i does wrong?

I hope exist more polite and friendly servers in this simulator. Sad that because some kids or weird admins, damage the experience in some games. But, yeah, its the life of almost all online games. If they are sooooo good and want to be alone, why not put a password in the server?

So, for me, Portuguese servers no more until someone show me that exist some PT servers not so arrogant.

Ok tomorrow i will try others servers

Best regards

First of all, don't worry, vote bans are not a big deal, they only last 12 hours.

No offense to drag racing fans, but it seems that LFS' demo drag racing servers tend to attract a very "special" crowd, so IMHO this is what you should avoid, not Portugal based servers.

Unfortunately you'll always find a few jerks on public servers. But on some servers you just find more of them than on others... Anyway, as long as they're the minority you can always have a good experience, if you manage to avoid them on track.

Answered in bold.

OK, thanks.

(actually I don't think NDR allows rescue cars to flip cars back on their wheels, but that's a detail anyway)

Feeling really sorry for Katherine Legge. She worked her ass off to get on the grid, introduced TrueCar to the sport, had to deal with all sort of crap in what was supposed to be a learning season, still managed to bag a solid 9th place in her final outing, and now as only reward she is basically told to **** off by her team and her sponsor, despite seemingly having a contract in place for 2013:mad:

Quote from lizardfolk :

not sure if TrueCar will still continue to sponsor Legge

Considering that she's threatening for legal actions probably not...

http://pressdog.typepad.com/do ... issues-her-response-.html

Could you please clarify what sort of situation may cause a Safety Car deployment?(I suppose if a car ends up on its roof, and only that, but I prefer to be sure about it)

No wave around during Safety Cars, right(unless there is a car between the Safety Car and the leader of course)?

Also, what are the "medical cars" for?

Quote from rockclan :

Test race for this event is coming up:

Next week's Tuesday from 19:00 GMT+1 (18:00 UTC)
There will be a short 15 minute qual, and a 27 lap race.

I would just like to point out that Rony will have one of his bi-monthly events on that particular evening, in case you weren't aware already.

Quote from Jaydude95 :

And can you drive solo?

Yes, you can.

Be careful though, this is a very challenging car, and a pretty tough track too...
