I tried Tapatalk. It makes forums annoying and hard to use. I'll stick with Safari. Oh, an Tapatalk adds a really annoying message that you have to cancel when you don't want to use it.
We're not allowed pit to car radio, and we have no need for pitcrew radio.
I never said Fords were 2000cc

It's EcoBoost car from this year with a new nose and rear wing, that's all. I can see why they've done it. Even though wingless cars with threaded tyres probably teaches the kids the most, they don't want to do it when FRenault, F4 etc have wings and slicks. And it is all about bums on seats.
The main problem is that everyone is too professional these days. You seem to have to have a big truck, fancy garage floors, a dedicated datalogger analyst, team radios, pitbikes etc, so the cost of the car is actually a small proportion of the annual budget. Obviously you can't force teams to run a car out of a trailer, with one mechanic, home rebuilt engines, no datalogging etc.
The way to lower budgets and boost grids is to get rid of all this stuff, slash the costs, and return to simple racing.
I'm a victim myself - we have a truck and an awning, and a small pitcrew, and lifters, and dataloggers - so I'm not totally innocent. But I refuse to have garage flooring or team radios or a prat perch!

I have heard that the F4 car will be over budget (for example, Ralph thought that a carbon front wing plane would cost £300, and was amazed when he was quoted £1000 minimum), that the FIA/MSA has refused to even bother crash testing it because it's so poorly designed, and that the unreliability will have to be seen to be appreciated.
So maybe a winged Formula Ford will actually steal the limelight off F4........

If everything you own in the world is worth £1000, then £10 would be quite a lot to you. (assuming the girly, modern billion, and not the manly British billion)
Can't tell if serious or stupid... But I'll use the Heat Flows North joke from now on anyway.
I'm considering an iPad. Or at least the Mini version. No interest in alternatives with other OSes. Looks like I'll have to wait until the next generation of Android/Windows (and I don't mean next version) before they are viable alternatives for me.
Glad to help. No idea what your car is!
It's not ideal to get it wrong if you have a catalyst (most cars do), but very few cars have a firing order that isn't 1,3,4,2.
Does it have a distributor cap or is coil packs?

Almost certainly 1,3,4,2
And it has kept me awake all night whilst revising for exams.
And I think it's pretty damn good with vodka (though arguably less good for the vodka)

That is, ultimately, my point.
Everyone seems to enjoy ripping into Grosjean's slight errors of judgement, but forget that somebody does something similar at most races, and often has world-championships to their name. Yet in those situations it is somehow "the other cars'" fault.
I've heard people suggest that Raikonnen was to blame for hitting Alonso, and as such Hamilton must be to blame for hitting Grosjean - regardless of the resulting crash, who it took out, and how important their safety is (Glock doesn't matter as much as Alonso apparently). If Grosjean is to blame, then so in Alonso. Easy. Consistent. Transparent.
Consistency should be consistent, regardless of number of championships won, the surname or anything.
Grosjean had no prior official warnings I don't think.

No, you said the context was different because the other cars were doing different things. But that doesn't change the fact that Alonso moved over on Kimi just as Grosjean moved over on Lewis. Luckily for Alonso he only took himself out, but I still think he needs a good telling off...
So Grosjean was punished not for what he did, but the end result? Is that fair?
So now it's the other cars fault at Spa?
Which warnings did Grosjean have before Spa?

One driver was on the edge of the circuit (with a wheel on the grass ultimately, but could in theory have lifted to avoid contact), whilst the other driver was moving towards the edge without any consideration for the fact that there was already a car in the way.
Assuming that Grosjean's ban was for what he did, rather than just the resulting accident, then Alonso should be banned for one race. Consistency and all. In fact, given that the situation occurred recently (Grosjean), Alonso should have been more careful, so his ban should be two races.
Unless of course it's okay for Alonso to crash into people that are already on the grass, but not okay for Grosjean? Or it was Hamilton's fault for crashing into Grosjean at Spa?
Both incidents were almost exactly the same. It's just that Suzuka doesn't have a hairpin first corner, and Alonso/Raikkonen were on the outside, so it didn't result in a massive crash.

If it wasn't for Red Bull I wouldn't get to see people doing crazy things as much. They might still happen, but I wouldn't know about them. I'm glad they don't sponsor/promote boring stuff!!
He risk of death is, subconsciously, what draws the human mind to it - that's why he is doing it and why many people will watch it. Not because they want to see death or be killed, but because they want to see/be flirting with Death and Binky.

Is the reason because He doesn't want Man to realise that He is fictional?

So you're saying Hamilton was at fault at Spa this year, not Grosjean?
Sometimes humour just isn't funny when it is analysed... He meant treemendous. It's a joke. Not a complicated one either...
If S3 and the new tyre physics are a new benchmark (and currently it only has to beat NetKar Pro, which is 9 years old itself. But it'll have to beat Assetto Corsa too, which might be tough), then players new and old will come flocking back, servers will fill up and all will be well. You don't have to have kept playing LFS for the last couple of years to be able to enjoy the new physics.
Graphics look fairly standard, and the drifting was terrible.
