I'd also like something to finetune monitor colours. I have two screens (an LCD and an CRT) and cannot balance the two to look the same.

I expect we would need something external (not affected by the monitors). Printing a test card is no good 'cos that would depend on your printer.

You're not guaranteed the full download limit all the time, you're actually sharing a bigger connection between many users from your local telephone exchange. Domestic broadband is commonly 50:1 contention ratio, more expensive business broadband might be 20:1 contention ratio.

Depends on how many are using the same link in your area as to the download available. More likely better download speed with lower contention.
Apparent as slower service at peak times, though you might get lucky This is just one of the bottlenecks that may slow your service

There are other ISPs apart from the ones that spend on big TV advertising!
(Everyone talks as though there are only 3 ISPs in the UK, tut)

Take a look at something like ISP review and read what existing users think of their service.

I'm with a small outfit; not the cheapest, but you talk to someone who doesn't just read off a script if something needs attention.

Do we have to stick to the same car for the one off special event round 8?
Can't see the RAC being very competative there.

Quote from Mackie The Staggie :As it's an Alfa most likely to break down

That's just wrong nowadays, IMO. The cars are great, just the dealerships are a bit hit & miss.

Quote from danowat :As for the "margins", many places in the UK are now operating on a zero tolerance system, where there is no margin.

That's rediculous, everyone will need to keep their eyes glued to the speedo instead of outside.

I thought they allowed 10%+2; so 70mph limit = 79mph, 30mph limit = 35mph
I expect it's down to the area.

I don't push it in town, maybe a bit out of town

Hmm, I'm thinking a long track due to the 4 hours. Otherwise you'd lap the small track about 4 times more - repetative!

I can't see me doing this alone, with driver swaps maybe.

Quote from FL!P :But I got their Going Faster! book and it taught me lots of things. Very good!

I've got it too, I'd like to think it improved my sim racing - i was previously concentrating on the wrong things.

Go on people, give road tyres a try.
They may feel completely alian at the moment, but they are rewarding to race with

The stupidest part of this LAW is the requirement for signs bloody everywhere! Every single entrance to a public place has to have a large sign, with more signs inside the building between sections, public transport, company cars etc.

Do we need signs to tell us not to murder, rape, pillage? Once people are used to this law these signs will do nothing but make everywhere look messy, it's government grafitti. The sign making companies must be laughing themselves silly.

If you still need extra cooling (maybe inthe height of summer), there's stands available for laptops with integral fans such as these

Edit: you're well aware of laptop coolers... I'll shut up now :X

I've made the replay available from our team forum here, so as not to mess up this thread

Peter, it was me who you had the collision with last night, not nikimere. So you can stop accusing nikimere of that.

I've watched the replay, I think I had enough overlap.
I put it down as a racing incident, so I even waited for you to start again instead of taking your position.

By all means post your replay if you think you were hard done to and want others to judge.

You must be getting frustrated with the requested changes, but can ours be swapped to this?

Interesting.
I'm wanting in but would prefer a little later, say 20:30 Uk time if possible (don't have an hour beforehand to practice).

How about less notice, say 20 mins?

Great race 1, good fun.
Dunno why everyone had a problem starting race 2, maybe the wind too high? Too eager?

I had a mare; punted to back of the pack, crashed, pitted, speeding penalty, through the pitlane twice, pitted a couple more times... and still finished 6th or something due to the retirees

Is it OK to advertise the shop on LFS car skins?
And have any high quality logos been prepared?

Cheers

Agreed. I would like to see other lighting occasionally, instead of 'not at all' at the moment.

I once sprang a lighting change on racers for an ESL league race, nearly got lynched. Yet, they wanted a different lighting again the following event. Maybe people just need to get used to the idea first (like from this thread )
