I'll be there and I promise not to practise.
As for gt cars the gt2 beemer is really rare car online whereas the gt3s are everywhere. Maybe it would be more special with the gt2 instead?

That is not even bad. What is bad that all big companies are pushing micro transactions into single player games. Not only do you need to get dlc after finishing 1/3rd of the original length of the game but that 1/3rd is basically 1/9th of the lenghh of the game but is stretched to 1/3 by slowing down your progress so you can buy exp/credit boosters, items and in-game money with real money. It all adds into one big fail when you notice that in order for such system to work you practically need always-online drm... among other things...
Future of consoles and big games is just one big money grab. Only real next gen feature of ps4 and xbone is microtransactions in single player games. And it will only get worse..
I did not mean stiff diff. I mean solid rear axle which directly connects the rear tires... You know, like this: http://www.mrtruck.net/09ram1500.htm
Apparently the sochi weekend came too soon so marussia did not have time to sell the seat. It takes a lot more time for potential drivers to sort out their sponsors. That or they just decided it was cheaper to not run the car.
3rd drivers are just extra income for the teams. When it comes to driving the cars the teams are happier to not have anyone drive the car than to have the 3rd driver drive the car...

Some infos about 1.0 and later coming content. Apparently trento bondone will be in 1.0. Tbh I never really cared about that track. Also if you look at here:
https://www.lfs.net/forum/post/1870901#post1870901
where I listed a lot of cars not yet in ac there are still lots of cars in that list that are not mentioned in that article (one of the rufs, supra, celica, ae-86, GT-86 GT4, Toyota TS040 HYBRID)
Apparently zandvoort is coming to ac but not in 1.0. Same with Silverstone historical 60s and Monza 1962.
New cars in 1.0 look like to be
Alfa Romeo Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde
Ferrari 458 GT2
La ferrari
Mercedes AMG SLS GT3
Sadly the nissan gtr is coming after 1.0 so that probably means awd support is coming later as well. From modding pov this means we won't be seeing stuff like rally cars any soon
. Same with solid rear axle support. There are tons of interesting cars with that kind of horse carriage rear suspension that would make nice addition to ac...

There are tons of interesting cars with that kind of horse carriage rear suspension that would make nice addition to ac...I never said he aquaplaned off at pitlane speeds. Turn 7 in suzuka is very fast blind turn (even though the apex is not blind, the exit is) and the apex is also on top of hill which means the car gets lighter as it goes over the hill and in the wet you don't really have any room to go wide because the wet kerbs are slippery as well. My point really was that bianchi could have slowed down but still aquaplaned off. Or had a moment with going back on throttle. Or just have a "moment" at the apex.
Here is a lap from 2005:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-f83ruqcOk
Notice that the speed through turn 7 is about 120kmh when he is going as fast as he can. Also notice that if you go off the runoff is downhill.
Here is link to google maps on that corner:

The trajectory imho shows that the car went off the track straight after apex which suggests he did aquaplane off the track. He did go head on into the barriers/tractor but if you look at sutil's crash he went off rear first but his car spun around and he hit the barrier head first so one could imagine the same thing happened with bianchi. Also the speeds look quite comparable with sutil and bianchi.

But it is possible jules was going really really slow (for an f1 car) and still aquaplaned off the track.
There is no option to search for posts made by username on threads. For example if I wanted to find my own posts in this thread I could just search for them on the old forum (search from thread in the thread tools) but now there is no way other than to manually search. I sometimes use that to search my own username in a thread just to see what I've written earlier so I don't write the same thing twice...
Nah, marussia will sell the seat to the highest bidder. The way the 3rd driver business seems to work in F1 is that the 3rd drivers pay just to be called "3rd drivers" or "test drivers". =To have a driving job in F1 in their resumes. The 3rd drivers only get to drive the cars though when the actual drivers are lagging behind on their payments and need some pressuring... When the actual drivers are not able to drive it is basically a lotterery who gets the drive...
E: actually I think it could be one of the ferrari prospects that get to drive the marussia. If I have not misundertood bianchi's seat is paid by ferrari and as such it is ferrari's seat. My "money" is on Raffaele Marciello.

Safety car is not an instant accident preventer. Plenty of cars will drive past that spot during that time it takes the safety car to slow down the field. It was double waved yellows after all. And I think fia already has preplanned when to bring out a safety car if a car goes off in certain place of the track. In some cases even the teams have planned this (renault/singapore). In that place of the track it was apparently decided that it is safe enough to not bring out the safety car because there is a tractor really close there that can retrieve the car in minutes. Sadly in this case there were other contributing factors (fast sweeping corner in the wet with chance of cars aquaplaning off the track). If anything the lesson here is that in the wet some corners become a lot more dangerous than in the dry and the decision to deploy the safety car should reflect that. But more importantly the marshalls need to be trained so that they don't enter the track if it is not safe.
That situation was very typical instance of car being away from the racing line and it looks almost like a perfect example of situation that does not need safety car. I say almost because it was wet and one could assume the car was going off because of aquaplaning (or oil on track). One could think that if one car does that then other cars behind it can do it too. Nobody knew why sutil went off until later when he explained it. But even in such situation the double waved yellows should slow down the cars enough. We still don't know the cause of the incident. Car hitting a tractor is not a cause, it is just consequence and there are trillion different things that contributed and could have contributed to it.
It could be a mechanical failure in bianchi's car, tire failure, bianchi not slowing down enough, aquaplaning, oil on track, wrongly placed green flag which caused drivers to get on power too soon which then turned into aquaplaning and crash. Or it could be simply that the safety crews were too eager to send the tractor out to retrieve the car putting themselves into great danger.
It could have been much more nasty than it was. Someone could say it was just pure luck no marshalls died. I don't think safety car could have prevented that accident.
I simply assumed there was some kind of accident with the tractor and some track marshall. Only when that accident scene was shown with bianchi's name on the screen it dawned to me there could be another car there. And you could see sutil standing there which also indicated sutil was not the person who was injured.
It is probably time to start thinking about putting skirts on the tractors that need to go on track during the race.
Respectable? There is no team in f1 that will pay that respect back. Team has a bad year then the team will just get on with it. Driver has bad year and he is lucky to have a seat next year.
What schumi did was to go to ferrari with the aim to build it into champion. And he did not do anything alone. There were a lot of other people involved. Driver can not design a fast car, a driver can not hire the best people or restructure the team. There is absolutely no reason why a driver should not always try to be in the best car. Not doing so is nothing else than detrimental to his own career.
And what other goals should driver have than to win wdc?
Well I don't see anything special with vettel leaving rbr if rbr can't give him a winning car. It is not like teams are too shamed about dropping under performing drivers either. From drivers pov the stupidest thing to do is to stay in non-winning car because of some kind of personal commitment if you have better offers. But moving to ferrari from rbr seems like really odd move. But who knows. How many people did think hamilton moving to merc was a good move at the time?
Wonder who will drive the 2nd toro rosso car next season.. Also can't help but feel sad for bianchi. Stuck in that red turd in the back of the grid with almost no room to show any kind of skill. If ferrari won't move him to at least to sauber next season then his career is done imho.

Actually when the snow melts you get water.
I doubt that thing will melt the ice under the snow anyways. It would probably take really long time to melt the ice with that and when you do that you effectively start blowing away the road too. Probably what is left after that thing has gone is slush. That of course freezes into ice and snow again but it is not slippery flat ice but something that is still kinda slippery but not dangerously so.
Footage of spa and the laferrari. Also some footage of the gt2 458 in the end. Apparently the sounds are not ready yet (no car sounds, just music) or maybe the laferrari comes with the fmod..?

To me it reads like the problem is on simona's side.
"Simona's driving programme is not being continued due to financial reasons on her side.

A lot of people remember/know about the porsche/merc flips in lemans and road atlanta but I never knew that the v12 bmw also flipped in road atlanta:
There is only so much you can carry when you are being chased by relatively fit bicyclist.
It is good to hear that the game is doing well economically. One could say that the economical non-success of nkpro was the thing that broke it. Hopefully one of those 15 persons communicates to the non-italian speaking audiences where the game is going...
A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is acquired through the scientific method and repeatedly tested and confirmed through observation and experimentation.[1][2] As with most (if not all) forms of scientific knowledge, scientific theories are inductive in nature and aim for predictive power and explanatory force.[3][4]
The strength of a scientific theory is related to the diversity of phenomena it can explain, and to its elegance and simplicity (Occam's razor). As additional scientific evidence is gathered, a scientific theory may be rejected or modified if it does not fit the new empirical findings- in such circumstances, a more accurate theory is then desired. In certain cases, the less-accurate unmodified scientific theory can still be treated as a theory if it is useful (due to its sheer simplicity) as an approximation under specific conditions (e.g. Newton's laws of motion as an approximation to special relativity at velocities which are small relative to the speed of light).
Scientific theories are testable and make falsifiable predictions. They describe the causal elements responsible for a particular natural phenomenon, and are used to explain and predict aspects of the physical universe or specific areas of inquiry (e.g. electricity, chemistry, astronomy). Scientists use theories as a foundation to gain further scientific knowledge, as well as to accomplish goals such as inventing technology or curing disease. Scientific theories are the most reliable, rigorous, and comprehensive form of scientific knowledge.[3] This is significantly different from the common usage of the word "theory", which implies that something is a conjecture, hypothesis, or guess (i.e., unsubstantiated and speculative).[5]
