Quote from MAGGOT :

CART was around until a couple years ago. CART became Champ Car like 3 years ago I thought? I thought it before the split it was Indycar somethin or other, after the split there was IRL and CART? I know what IRL stands for, but I forget what the IRL is called now. (BTW, Indy is spelled with a 'Y.' "Indie" is short for Independant )

[EDIT] IRL is now ICS; IndyCar Series, right? My memory is coming back as I sober up..

Indycar split into IRL and CART. CART became ChampCar (World Series) not too long ago, a few years, and still has this name. The IRL = Indy Racing League, holding 2 sub leagues, the IndyCar Series (Indy Racing League IndyCar Series) and the IndyPro Series (who drives on more road courses and a few less ovals than IndyCar does).

Nice one.

Nice vids, good job. The new DSR is organizing good stuff as well.

I noticed it, but I just thought it was pretty awesome. Never mentioned it though Great though, more skin slots is always fun

There's no more skins_x :P, Unless it's .dds

Great work mate, awesome result!


Edit: No Bridgestone logos?

Hah, nice vid, very amusing .

Good job mate.

Hi,

Well, I host a podcast called Race Tech Radio with Justin Hryciw (Anorexicpillow) that discusses the latest news in racing and technology. However, for the next few weeks, Justin will not be available to record the show with me, therefore I am looking for a replacement host. This host will make the show with me for the period of time Justin will be away, and may continue afterwards, if they wish, if we decide to have a 3rd host (which could be fun).

So if you have decent knowledge in racing- and technology-related stuff, hold a decent amount of professionalism for fun podcasting, wishes to have fun, and therefore fill in for this position, then don't hesitate to contact me.

Basic requirements:
- Speak english
- Have Skype
- Shows are released on Wednesdays, recording on Tuesday or Wed. night 6-7-ish-ET.

Well, I had a question, I saw this deal here and was wondering on thoughts about price-goodness ratio. I know my basics in hardware, but associating it with prices can sometimes come and mix me up.

I'm not thinking of buying it anyways, but I just want to get a feel of how it situates in the money market.


PS: This is $549.97 CAD. Price equivalence: $511.74 USD, £256.84, €382.22

I vote Cottage Rose

haha, jk, but cool though that you custom paint it.

Hah, me again. I thought of giving another gift...


...hm...


...And well, I am.



Helmet of Nick Heidfeld 2007 edition.

By the way, the skin is already on LFS World, so you don't need to load it up.

This skin is free for public use, but please don't edit it and stuff.

Thanks folks. I'm glad everyone likes it. I like it a lot myself.

@ James: Well, it's more red than orange. It's really bright fluorescent red. I tried to make it kinda vivid, but heh, lol.

Well well well... Here I am again . I'm much proud of this one.

Helmet of Robert Kubica 2007 edition.

Quote from QBi :

But You can do Robert Kubica's 2007 helmet I'd love to see it done by some good helmet skinner ) I found picture of helmet created for GP4, I think it's well detailed and can be used as a refference pic. But it may be too small

I actually had in mind to do this helmet, possibly. So I might give it a try eventually (if Darkone doesn't do it ). Small pics, but anyways. If you do find higher res ones, don't hesitate to send away.

Job stealer!

Good job on it though. I might still try it out, for fun. I've made one of the red versions of MS's helmet even though there are plenty out there, so.

And thanks for the pics Burnzoire, those are great shots to work with.


(Darkone, you didn't put the design in the back :tilt

Quote from Burnzoire :

I have access to red bull's media library, so here ya go (images are copyright GEPA-RedBull, personal use only):

Wow, cool, nice shots. Would you perhaps have a shot of the top (and possibly the back)? The top most importantly for the design.

Hah.

@ Burnzoire: Thanks. Yea, helmet skins are hard to do and require more time on alignment than regular cars I'd say. I can always try I guess. I am yet to make a new release, hehe.

(Edit: Often a problem is that pics are hard to find... Heh.)

Here's an approximate comparison of a standard & widescreen monitor. You get black bars on either one really.


(EDIT: And LFS will give more height visibility on standard, or more width visibility on widescreen (cause more wide)). Go with your taste and deskspace )

I'll just say one thing... Get a much bigger hard drive than that. In the hundreds of GB. They are getting cheap too.

Well, these possible new regulations are just ridiculous. There's no other way to say it.

6 people working on the cars in pitstops.

...and a ban on pressurised refuelling, huge cost cutting and discouraging refuelling, races are still far too dependant on pitstops.

Reducing the number of people making the pit stop could make it interesting, and less of a "machine-like" process.

I don't think that they have been done in S/S cars before, but air jacks.

On grounds of? No point putting them in single seaters they add weight and because they'd have to be in the sidepods provide an aerodynamic packaging issue.

Air jacks for pitstops have been in SS (CART, IndyCar, etc - american SS series) for years. And they are placed in the "center" of the car, front and back).

Quote from Jamexing :

If they REALLY wanted a shock campaign, they should post a video of a RL crash at high speed, with all the mangled steel and bodies in FULL VIEW.

We already had a commercial here showing a RL accident that occured in the province. You see the car at high speed, getting air, and really crashing. The guy died. But we didn't see any bodies or whatever, so, .

Shocking I'd say, especially on showing how bad things can turn out for the people, definately good stuff on that...

...But I always have something with governmental ads about speeding and car-related stuff... How bad can they get. 1- why did he turn left? The dog was already basically off the road. And 2- the car wouldn't have actually flipped like that unless he hit some hole of some sort. Cars don't flip for fun. Another thing I dislike from certain of these commercials (thankfully its not always the case, but often), is how is always young-ish people... Like wtf, anyone can get accidents, geez.

Well, as I have posted in the FOX thread [ LINK ], in order to commemorate the 25 years since Gilles Villeneuve has gone, I decided to release the skins I had made.

The FOX skin is available in the other post, but here is the helmet again since this is the thread for helmets :P.

Helmet of Gilles Villeneuve 1981 edition.

The skin is already on LFS World, so you don't need to load them up.

This skin is free for public use, but please don't edit it and stuff.

Enjoy!
