So.. like only 5 people showed up?

Hi Marc,
Well, one year ago I did Audi Höfmuhl A4 DTM for FXO, XFR & XFG (yeah, Legge's car again ), and Audi Playboy A4 DTM 2008 for FXO. I got Albers Audi A4 DTM for FXO too. If you are interested in these skins I will sent you.

Albers DTM sounds interesting.. but maybe for FXR?

I liked it + i saw my xfg suzuki swift jwrc skin coming by a few times

Awesome broadcast Only thing I noticed is that some people changed nationalities a few times and a wrong result in one of the -i think it was- final or semi-final races..

Looks nice The dirt is a nice touch!

+1.. or at least a few months..

Is it me, or does that body/shadow kit has some really bad alignment faults?

It looks really nice! I'm interested to see how it progresses

Quote from tristancliffe :

I don't envy the lollipop man. They need to all use traffic lights soon, and get rid of one man's judgement on everything from the state of refuelling, the state of all four tyre changes, the state of the men clearing sidepods, the cars coming out of the pitlane, and so on. Give each man a button to press when they have finished their job. If they press it again they cancel their 'ok' and the system remains red. You could keep the lollipop man too, but he just responds to the traffic light too.

Ferrari had those last year.. and remember how it FAILED?

Quote from BenjiMC :

Wasn't it the wheel cover not being clicked into place, then spinning round freely, which unlocked the nut on the wheel? I'm pretty sure the wheel nut was on properly just the cover hadn't been put into place before the car was released.

As far as i could see, the guy from the wheel was trying to put the fairing back on but failed as the car was allowed to take off. On the onboard video you can clearly see the fairing spinning with the wheel like creazy. Not having the fairing put on properly, probably also caused the wheelnut not to be on the right way so it came off aswell.

Wheelnuts are put on in the same direction as the wheel is spinning, so a spinning wheel can't loosen it (it tightens the nut). The only way it can some off, is if it's not on right, and those fairings play a big part in how it's put on. Banning the use of them will eliminate a factor in wheels coming off, but will never garentee it from happening again.

Anyway, the ban is an over the top penalty, it clearly shows the FIA are uncapable of judging incidents in a consistend way as similar (or worse) accidents didn't had the same punisment (if at all).

They have failed to take their own rules seriously on many occations and giving fair punishments. F1 is doomed as long as the FIA controls it.

f1.gpupdate.net also has a short story about Schumachers return..

But personally i'm with zeugnimod and would like to see him not making it past T1

Quote from STF :

E: Doesn`t come remotely close to any of the old timers (eg. Vatanen, Röhrl etc), but anyway..

That's an awesome car.. I like those extreme wings and stuff on it :P

+ Grönholm FTW!

That looks really cool although, a few logo's on the front bumper look a bit stretched.

Quote from JJ72 :

But I liked Sauber.

someone help them go independent again?

Maybe Mercedes.. like the good'ol days?

Quote from DieKolkrabe :

IMO she's not a good fit in F1

Why? Because:

1. She's a female. Historically/statistically, females have not done well in F1 (Desire Wilson excepted)
2. She whines, A lot
3. She's prone to making (too many?) errors
4. Can you see her fighting a backmarker after she got taken out?
5. Could she deal with all the marketing/testing?

At #2; That's what women do :P

sry.. couldn't resist

It was on the news on tv a few seconds ago.. they said it's official now that BMW pulls back from F1 at the end of the season.

Quote from Chrisuu01 :

OMG the stig at 2:18(seriously who pretended to be stig?)

Hehe indeed.. a tiny one...

Maybe use vimeo next time?

Anyway.. it's a really cool vid :P Nice coverage of the event

If Renault really doesn't start next race I think many of the Spanish fans will stay at home.. or at least there will be a big drop in ticket sales..

Anyway.. Bourdais is out for good I think.. Massa needs a replacement.. and Nelson will be kicked out soon I guess.. so Renault has to find a replacement as well..

For Ferrari I think Schumacher is a option worth thinking about. But If I were him I wouldn't do it, he stopped at a right moment, he was at the top and when you're at the top, there's only one way to go.. and that's down.. He'ed beter keep the honour to himself rather than risking a comeback and perhaps fail miserably.

It's a really strange season..

Threads older than two years should be locked to prevent fails like this ~.~"

Quote from fatalunfair :

I want the old and good Sauber skin!

Like from 1997-2005? Or something. Not the new Bmw Sauber skin.

I made the 1993 or 1994 (don't remember exactly:shy version.. but it's for FO8.. Maybe I'll try a FBM version one day..

There is a little area on the bottom right of the master skinnerz template with wich you can (some what) color the visor.

Quote from fernanndo :

Up!! Where can i find this helmet?! And yes, i already tried to find on search.

If you can't find it, post in the requestssection.

I think it's a pretty great movie Nice action packed chasing and imho realistic crashes! The sound sync is one of the best i've seen in any lfs movie

They did tests and Bourdais just wasn't good enough.. on high fuel (heavy car) he did ok.. but low fuel for quali he just couldn't deliver.. And overall.. The results weren't coming.. he was on his second season with a pretty decent car (Vettel won with it last year).

Ohwell.. We'll just have to wait and see who Ferrari will put in the car..

Bourdias ain't good enough to drive a wheelbarrow.. His F1 career is over. One of Ferrari's test drivers will probably take over..
