I cant connect to the server either. Has happened for ages and I gave up tbh. Firewall allows LFS to connect and my internet is working but it just wont connect... Hmm

My first car. Renault Megane.

Getting a project car.

Keep the megane till my 1 years no claims comes through to upgrade slightly.

POOOOOWWWEEEEEEEEER!

If your using a clutch pedal. Is it possible to 'Heel and toe' for the brakes where you gotta give it a bit of gas?

That could be handy for you.

Sorry if you already do that and this post is useless :P

Great race.

What an amazing Schumaccer drive.

Probably one of the best F1 races I've watched. Entertaining aint the word.

Quote from jaws99 :

get in!

He's not going to win but what a race!

It aint about the winning anymore is it really. Hes trying to go out on a high.

'Its better to crash and burn that to fade away' - Not that he's going to crash. But still you get the idea.

Schueey past fisi.

I still find it amazing that he was either 71 or 92 seconds behind massa and is now that close :o

Quote from BigDave2967 :

Doesn't matter, now, Micheal Shumacher is "pissed" off, new lap record with 21 laps of fuel!

Who stuck an extra tank of NOS in his car?

Aye it doesnt matter really. And yeah my bad Massa is still in first I think. The table aint come up on the screen

Massa aint in first though is he?

I thought Alonso was now.

Fairplay, Thats a drive and a half.

I really do hope he gets up the field now. It'd be an amazing way to go out.

"Another change involves safety cars where lapped cars will be allowed past the pace car so they don't get in the way of the leaders. Any lapped car between cars running on the lead lap will have to pass those cars and the safety car and proceed around the track to take up position at the back of the line of cars behind the safety car."

I just realised. Only a safety car can really save Schumaccer now to be fair.

Wait a sec. Has he caught up now?

Yeah. If he has alot of fuel onboard hopefully if he gets the pace down now he can catch up and work his way around the grid.

Bit unlikely mind.

Quote from BigDave2967 :

Woah cool down lads, its a racing incident. It could have been from the debris of Rosbergs parking.

I find this interesting. I'd love to see Shumacher drive his way through the field. That'd be a good final race to witness.

That would be very good to see. But they said hes lapping slower than the rest of the grid. So maybe he wont get that chance.

Although It'd be pretty funny if alonso retires...

I was under the impression that IRL if you do clutchless gearshifts for any prolonged amount of time (Including getting the revs to match) it would still screw your gearbox up?
Bit offtopic. But nevermind.

Blown a gasket maybe?

Indeed, It is a weird problem. Maybe see how it goes from now on. Is it only the once it has happened?

Does anyone have a public version of the BTCC Team Halfords car? I've had a quick look through the thread but cant see anything. Unless someone wants to make one? :P

Thanks.

Okay cheers. S2 looks good already though. Should be intresting when i get a wheel!

Thanking you.

Ive now got S2. Go me. Been having a mess around in there already. But whats the best car to start with and on what track or is that personal choice.

I just want something so I can start to see how the new tracks are laid out etc and can give me a good race

Cheers.

I have media Centre and am getting S2 tommorow.
Its an alright system, With some cool extras. Like tv etc. Also comes with funky people that dance on your screen when music plays!

Not me, But when my mate was on holiday, Was on a ferry and saw nar enough ALL the cars on the Gumball Rally on it.

Gear shifter with the G25 aswell!

I race using the keyboard keys (No Mouse) I aint fast, My PB is only (Now come down to) a 1:37 around blackwood in the GTi (Sadly im only demo untill the 17th) Which isnt amazingly slow, But I can compete in the middle of the field which is fun.

But I would feel discriminated and I would be put off the game if I wasnt allowed to join a race because of the way I choose to play it. Its not my fault I cant afford to buy a wheel at the moment...

Thats the main point though. Its a money thing. Think of how many people use a wheel (Lots) then they would probably set the server to wheel only and there would be nowhere for me and the many other non-wheel users to play!

What about running the different classes all in the same race but you only have to beat the people in your class to get the first place points, second etc. That way you can still mix it up if people are overtaking the faster cars?

I had a quick search but couldnt find anything like this.

I joined a server as everyone was on their first or second lap lap, I came out of the pits and as I was at the back I waited until there was enough room and pulled out and got upto the pace. Then I got the blue flag (Cold tyres so had to slow down a bit more than everyone else) and let the guy past.

The I found I was faster than him. So I overtook on the straight and still had the blue flag warning for a bit, Until I lost him and caught upto the next one.

Was I right in overtaking them because I technically (If fast enough) could of overtaken them all and got my lap back eventually (if in a long enough race) and therefore possibly finish on the podium.

I say I was right, But wanted to know what more experienced racers thought on the issue.

Yeah, Im a karter too. Well, getting into racing anyway.

It happened again by the same guy. What a tool

I hope my money gets to my paypal quickly
