It's all these runoff areas they have started to put around the tracks. That chicane use to have grass around it instead of the run-off so what Alonso did yesterday would have put Nick out of the race or severely damaged his car. I think Alonso simply thought i'll dive in there and he will take to the run-off keeping the second apex tight. It like he relied on the run-off to make the move. I believe that the move Alonso pulled off was wrong only because he did not leave enough room at the second apex. If he left a car width at the second apex it would have been perfectly legit but he didn't and simply forced Heidfeld off the track. I think he was just getting fed up as it wasn't a good race for him. Suddenly the world champion is comin under pressure..

nice work there Don, ten druhy screenshot je absolutne super! wow. It looks so real!



.... Can I ask what resolution you take the screenshots at?

heh.. the community is still growning and fast. Last year pre-s2 Q there were around 9000 members on this forum. Today there are now Members: 18,884 and this has increased by another 2000 since around Christmas. It definitely getting bigger. There are more people online than ever and there is some great fun to be had on the servers. True not all servers are full but there are a few good frequently visited servers but the LFS community.

The CTRA servers are good fun and you can have some action packed racing on there, the servers are not available at the moment due to the patch X and licence software update. They will be back though soon.

You can often find some noob here and there on some of the servers but generally they are very clean of any serious wrecking and noobish driving thanks to the wrecker barricade.

I would definitly recommend investing you hard earned cash into LFS S2, guarantee that you will have fun!

Race was ok, no amazing overtaking or anything special happened. I was pleased to see Kimi win, purely for him speaking in the tv press conference. When Kimi speaks its pure class lol!

Good to see Ferrari back in business. Now lets get a proper championship battle going.

Quote from zeugnimod :

Well, if you made such a contest and promised that the winners get the vouchers its understandable that they are upset now, isnt it?

I have to agree there, if you promise someone a license for taking part in a contest and winning it then you are obliged to give the participant winners the license you promised...

edit: why did Takumi_lfs loose his license?

Quote from zeugnimod :

Rain has stopped, the track will be dry in 1 hour and the sun is coming out.

was looking forward to rain. The way the weather is moving in Europe they may still get a shower (does the rain dance) we certainly got way too much rain in England.

I missed the news today, news to me. Seems like over the last few days Britain is under attack. First the bombs in London and now this in Glasgow.

Goes to show that it is a well funded terrorist network going on around here if they can afford to blow up cars like Cherokee's. Could have been stole i guess.

Glad nothing worse happened.

Quote from N I K I :

but i'm really enjoying watching Alonso in problems

Yeah me to, it will take some real champion qualities to win this years championship i think. Will be interesting how he copes. I bet though he will start blaming his team for favouring Hamilton again. Especially if he has more failures than Hamilton. Alonso is a whiner and i don't like him for that!

It doesn't really surprise me that newspapers talk about Forza 2, NFS and PGR. The developers say it themselves that its the most realistic car simulation ever!! Look at the NFS slogans and yet its called ProStreet LFS will get to that stage one day when it has developed. Wouldn't surprise me if the game developers/publishers gave the newspapers some restriction on what they have to say about the sims!!

Maybe it would be a good idea not to eat and read race sim reviews at the same time next time

Yeah, he was a very lucky man and those were some very lucky marshals. If the car slid over the wall rather than on it he could have had serious head injuries, thankfully everyone is ok, looked nasty though!

I'll tag along, unless something comes up... I would agree with Blackout, combo sounds dull. Will see how it goes!

heh, yeah I've come across the news as well. I can't imagine Jacques racing in Nascar but with his music career being flushed down the toiled after his first album release I guess he has no choice!

I watched the highlights yesterday, was quite a good race. It was actually my first ever Nascar road race that I watched, I have never seen Nascar on a road course before. Must say the cars look so awkward and strange racing on a road course, they look so much better on the ovals

All i can say is.. wtf! that's some crazy stuff....

"Team told me to watch the tyres"

Quote from BlakjeKaas :

btw: which NFS do you think is best?
/me thinks NFS: Porsche.

I think the best or the ones I had most fun with must be Need for Speed Original, Need for Speed 3 Hot Pursuit and Need for Speed Porsche

Only game of the series i did not play was the Need for Speed 2...

As for the new NFS game, they can't seriously say it will be simulation when they call it ProStreet lol... awful name. I am just expecting some less than arcady handling with damage.

Also have to agree with Kurent above, passing of rendered trailers as actual gameplay is bad!

Haha.. that is some great stuff...!

Love the star trek version!

ahh..... who is sitting at the top of the table :haha:

I regret using Madman simply because it is overused online. I created it 7 years ago when I first got my computer + internet and I was making my first ever account on GameSpy Arcade, it asked for a user name so I had to quickly make one up. Picked Madman because I am a bit nuts. Now I am known all over the place as Madman_CZ.

If I could change it I would change it to: Czechky

lucky there aren't too many madmans on the LFS forum

Quote from Kalev EST :

The worst thing about summers by far are the hurds of mosquitos. God I hate those things. They make that horrible buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing noise and their bites itch as hell. Bastards.

Heh yeah, in Czech Republic there are quite a few of them I remember during the night always buzzing around the ear. bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz you move your hand to get rid of it and after few seconds bzzzzzzzzzzzzz again.. you're like grrrrr so you try to hide under the blanket.... thinking you have beaten the mosquito but suddenly bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.... ARGHGHH! You can't win.. then when you wake up you have bite marks all over that itch like crazy!

One thing coastal areas are good for is low number of mosquitoes due to the salty air. I haven't seen one for years in my flat.

Well I am one of those people who rarely remembers a dream. I can go months without remembering a single dream, rather annoying waking up empty headed but recently I had a dream which involved a lot of pain involving my teeth.
I dreamt that my teeth were became loose in my gums and gradually fell out or were ripped out while eating. You know the feeling you get when you eat toffee and you bite down hard so that it sticks you bottom jaw to your top jaw and then you try to pull them apart fearing if you have fillings that some may come with it, well its like that but when I separate my jaws i rip out my teeth as they stick together. The pain in the dream is really bad so much so that I wake up, funny thing is usually my teeth hurt a bit after I have awoken.

Probably the worse and painful thing ever!

Well to say Alonso has always got on my tits. He does sulk when things dont go his way. I think though he seriously feels threatened by Hamilton as he has been matching even beating him on pace and he is a rookie....

also media like to run these kind of stories to sell papers and get more click on their websites..

mad

hahaha.. lmfao! That made me laugh out loud and hard.. !

great stuff!
