Were you watching the F1 today, or an entirely different sport? You didn't seem to see the things I was watching, and don't appear to know the sporting regulations.

Well why don't you quote the sporting regulations that back up your opinion?

Quote from evilpimp :

It says that he must give back the advantage gained and he did. The repass by Hamilton wasn't because of the incident at all. And he weaved as protest to Kimi's weaving but the difference is that in Kimi's case they were REALLY close and it was to block deliberatly. But when Hamilton did it they were far enough so it wasnt to block (plus it was on a straight).

And off course I thinK Lewis is perfect. He makes no mistake and never will. (exept for Fuji last year, and a couple of idiot moves he did this year)

I have the advantage (which I will not give up ) in that I am not a Ferrari / Massa / Kimi fan nor am I a Hamilton fan. I am a Webber / Vettel / Kubica fan so have no vested interest.

If he had not cut the corner then he wouldn't have been anywhere near Kimi to make the pass. Therefore, the cut gave an advantage. In fact, if he hadn't cut the corner he would have crashed into Kimi and been penalised like Heidfeld.

Oh, and weaving as a protest is still weaving.

Quote from SamH :

Well, it's a strange thread and a very odd first post.

I guess you can choose to completely fly in the face of reason following today's decision to drop Hamilton 2 places after fully complying with the regulations. It's your own credibility, after all. Do with it what you will

It doesn't say in the regulations that you can let the other driver 6 inches past your car to absolve yourself of responsibility. Either read the regulations or just stick to simple hysterical "FIA Ferrari Bias" posts.

He also blatantly weaved on the way to Les Combes, but Lewis is perfect so I guess that was a trick of the light.

I don't think there will be much room for non-SRs

How about Official Friends of SR?

Now that the billboards are jpegs I'm sure it would be easier to persuade mags to throw it on their DVDs on a more regular basis as they can have their own logos on the tracks.

Quote from george_tsiros :

don't wear watch when racing. added weight and imbalance. plus strain on the wrist.

When Alonso was at Renault the first time they actually calculated the effect of him wearing his watch. It's not added weight because total weight is car+driver but they worked out the effect of having a higher centre of gravity (instead of being able to put those few grams in as ballast within the floor - not that they could afford to shave the weight that close) and it was something ridiculous like 0.0004s per lap and totally theoretical.

Of course in 250 MotoGP Simoncelli seems to manage with a few kilos of excess hair compared to the rest.

EDIT: G25 superb build quality, although the shifter feels a bit flimsy.

Quote from Gentlefoot :

Haven't worked out the details with the sponsor as yet. Will let ya know once I've met with them.

Can you have a word with your sponsor about backdating prizes?

Yeah, racecraft is very important, especially in league racing. Always try to be faster than the smart guys and smarter than the fast guys.

Wouldn't there have to be strengthening bars to maintain the rigidity of the chassis in the soft top? Some soft tops end up weighing more than their hard topped counterparts.

Mark McCormack'a IMG group gave him an interest free loan, only repayable if he made it big in F1. The kicker was that like the young fella they also got a fair chunk of his wages in F1. He took IMG to court eventually to obtain a ruling that the contract was unfair - of course, he only did this after he had made it and was earning big money.

Not quite doomed from the start. Do you know how Coulthard got the money to get into F1?

Wowzers - nice one.

Oh okay, 458hp

FO8 actually has 450hp, not 800hp.

Very bumpy ride you have there! You turn in quite early into most corners for my preference and you can be flat-out through that tricky little left onto the backstraight, but no matter - nice job, very slick.

Quote from george_tsiros :

first things first... the road doesn't have momentum

Except it is travelling 900mph as the Earth rotates and in another direction at 67,000 mph as it orbits the Sun. Then of course the whole solar system is moving relative t....

Good idea, although I would be happy just having a bit more room for multicoloured names.

Quote from TFalke55 :

or they took Mark Webber to set the view

even me, who was only sitting in a repica of a McLaren Mercedes of 2002 in a museum, can tell that it is way to high. Same in an DTM car, you really cannot see the street (you must feel it)

That's the problem with virtual compared to real life. You cannot "feel it" in the same way within LFS because rather than being in the middle of a real environment you are looking at a 3D representation on a flat screen. Whilst you can reproduce the position on the view you cannot simulate everything else that comes from actually being there so I don't see a problem with raising the view an inch or two to compensate.

Congrats, especially to Chris and Paddi who I have driven against many times.

I suppose it saves a bit of electricity as the starter motor does have to spin half the gearbox aswell as the engine with the clutch pushed in.

Hitting things until they work - never fails.

Atari used to name their custom chips in their computers - instead of 790SLi there was Pokey, etc.

Would be nice to be able to download Patch Albert and would be an easy way to start recycling the alphabet. Get to Patch Zach then start on girls' names.

Peregrinus is always looking for good drivers. Follow the link in my sig to visit out website and come say "Hello".

Put me on the list please. I think I'm just in time.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

In addition, we hope to branch out into the OWRL and other leagues we haven't yet hit with full force.

Bring it on!

Congrats to the new boys - Core is a terrific team.
