3 days till patch. That's on my birthday 
he he and the 21st is also my birthday
Maybe patch is finished and the Intel guys already have it to prepare themselfes?
Allright but who says that this guru screen wasn't edited to make it look foggy, or more retro. That's not a real hint on weather effects. Fog only reduces the visibility (if it's only a graphical update).
Weather effects would be bigger, but highly improbable.
Well the demo racers have still only one track areal, meaning that they only have 2 tracks in 2 configs. Now you surely aren't gonna drive a F1 car around the rally tracks. Bl and Bl rev with F1 under 1 min sounds like a pain in the ass to me. It's not really a track that is suitable for F1 racing. So demo racers are gonna buy the S2 license to get the tracks that are better for F1's. Well this is my theory and it could be very wrong
Yeah I agree after all it was a very nice race. 
Well it's not because the GTR's are so fast on the straights that the Gt2's can
only let them pass there. Of course to overlap someone both drivers must work together. And the majority of time this was no problem, but from time to time you could've been blocked by a slower car in corners where it would have been possible for that car to let you pass before the corner. I don't think that it changed something on the result but who likes to be stuck?
PS: It also has not necessarily to do with the 2 classes, this situation can also happen when there is only one car class on the track. Difference is that with 2 classes the bigger car loose more time behind someone.

Well I didn't try to overtake this car in the eau-rouge section (well imo he could have let me pass just before this section without loosing any time), i wanted to overtake him on the straight after this section. But as he did a mistake in this section I had to avoid him, wasn't meant as a crazy overtaking maneuver. I think I have enough experience to know when I can overtake someone or when it's better to back off.
Well I had one ugly situation with a little XF GTR. He made a mistake in the little eau-rouge and I was right behind him with my XRR. Now to avoid him, I had to drive wide in the eau-rouge and through the grass, leading me to spun off. For the rest I think most of the overtakings went smooth, even when now and then some guys could have let someone pass before a corner rather then blocking them through the corner. Let's put it that way: In my opinion from the 2 classes the GTR's have top priority when it comes to overtaking, cause a GTR looses a lot of time if it gets stuck behind the smaller XFR/UFR in a corner (1st corner speed is slower and 2nd you can't accelerate like you would normally at the exit). The smaller cars don't loose that much time if they leave space for the GTR's by running wide in a corner.

He he you surely done better than Montoya i don't want to dampen your joy, but who says that they will always post the news at 16:00.
10520 files on my Music partition, 12,2 GB
This includes self made music. But I also have some Music files on other partitions. Well I need a lot of music as i need them on the radio, although there are surely files that I don't use/listen anymore.

21st april would be fine, that's my birthday would be a nice gift
Sounds like the physics are extremly random, sometimes you spin just because it pleases the program and sometimes you spin because you deserve it.
Btw what became of this LFS section they wanted to make. Few weeks after they started this thread here in the forum no new information was released about that?

"I don't urine when I play rFACTOR," ha ha ha ha that was the best sentence of the whole thread
I used to practice 3-5 hours a day, but atm I need a break and I'm keeping the driving at a minimum. Perhaps I'm at 5 hours a week now.
Well i can imagine that if it turns out that after the patch some other physics updates have to be made, then the hotlaps will eventualy surely be resetted once again in the S2 Stage. But i rather welcome a reset of the hotlap times, brings some changes, some sort of new challenge. Like a race, when it's over it's over and you concentrate on the next one.
Well only thing that I have to complain (shame on me) is that the tyre brandmark is Cromo Tyres. Now normally you don't see GoodYear Tyres or Bridgestone Tyres on the rims, rather then GoodYear Eagle or Bridgestone Potenza.
Well if you take a look at my ESL race at Westhill 3 weeks ago, you can see that fast
means something around 1:33-1:35 in race (R2's, 18 laps per stint but I'm working to get 19-20 laps out of it). (But btw this was a bad race for me with much car problems) And of course I'm not talking about the real pro's that can do 1:32's -1:31's in race.
Now the big unknown is the new patch, if it comes out before the race the setups eventually need some reworking if not even to be built up from scratch.
And also the strategy will probably need reworking, as far as we know tyre physics are gonna be updated to counter the low speed grip issue. But how about tyre wear, we don't know.
If this is gonna be changed then it would perhaps lead to the result that you have to put an harder compound for the race, which also means that setups need to be adjusted to that.

Yeah that´s strange. But it´s the same thing with Amsterdam. When someone tells you that he´s gonna make a trip to Amsterdam everyone thinks that he´s gonna buy something there (if you know what I mean)
