I queried the interpretation of the question, and it has been changed........slightly, but I'm not sure its any better

Thanks for that.

But it sucks because the bonus question is almost always changed at the last minute by the site admin, and a lot of people get totally screwed over from it. Happened to me on the last bonus question.... I get the notification email almost the moment the question is put on the site, give my answer, and then I find it changed a day or two later. Really smart site admin if you ask me

This isn't the only time he's had to reword it. But as far as I know, his English might not be the best, so I guess you have to deal with it

Quote from samjh :

The question is a bit ambiguous. Do they mean killed in an F1 car? During an F1 event? Or just drivers who had raced in F1 at some point in their lives?

I'll be assuming that it means any driver who raced in F1 at or around the time of their death.

Meh... Jim Clark died on the Hockenheim ring in a Formula 2000, so yeah, the question is poorly written as usual.

All I would do before races would be to drink plenty of water, stretch and then relax muscles, take a pre-piss, and get comfortable overall. If it is a hot day or you know you are bound to get all sweaty, make sure you have a fan blowing on you .

Most importantly, the meal before needs to be something safe... as in... doesn't make you fart or feel like crap. Usually I'd have just a simple sandwich or something that is easy to digest and nourishing. But still, water is the only thing I can stress more. Doing a lot of races where I had to get up super early in order to race you guys across the pond... I sometimes would just get right out of bed, not eat anything (which is the best), drink a bottle of water, and warmup about 30 minutes before the actual race. Sometimes I'd even be drinking water whenever I found the opportunity during a race (in pits or long straights).

You don't have to eat something to win a big race.

If you think posts like those are slowing down development.... you really need to get your head out of your arse.....

It should only take around 5-10 minutes to skim through the posts and spot the bug posts. He already knows he is going to get countless irrelevant posts in the Test Patch forum, and I have yet to see "I am going to throw a hissy fit because I cannot develop the game with you guys posting like this"..... :rolleyes:

If it gets really bad, sure the Mods need to do their thing and clean it up, but do any of them have the patience for this bloody forum anymore???

Rooble, stop being sexy juice!

No? Doesn't matter who I play with, and I know what a good team is and a bad team.

Almost always attacking teams win, and defending teams just lose horribly... at least a majority of the time. Uber is incredibly annoying and easy to conquer areas with, and it just puts the defending team in a bad position each time. They've had to try and balance it 2 or 3 times now?

I play on Q and other servers where there are lots of good players, and there is no 'coordinated' strategy or superior strategy. It is just rushing with uber, rushing with scouts, etc. Like I said, repetitive, and hardly the best teamwork in an FPS.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

Best team-based FPS around, IMO.

Still too many people that lonewolf and do their own thing, which turns me off a bit from playing the game. When there are those few cases of teamplay, it is just way too easy to win, or just way too repetitive.

Best teamplay is PR mod for BF2 ... can't get any better than squad organization and crazy tactics required to win. TF2 is just a Q3 style shoot'em up chaos teamplay. Still fun, but team-based? Not really, unfortunately.

I randomly tuned to it earlier this evening, had no idea it was happening this weekend :doh: ... even though I was browsing Peugeot's site and it was plastering tons of "LE MANS LE MANS" banners everywhere

So far it looks like a cool race for LMP1, and LMP2 is pretty obvious with an expected win (IMO) from the Porsche RS Spyder that pretty much dominates over here in ALMS. I'll have to wake up to the results I guess.

Not quite a simulation, but you can try the tanks in Project Reality mod for Battlefield 2.

Quote from Töki (HUN) :

Looks good, too bad that I can't watch A1GP in Hungary

There is no excuse when you have the Internet.

I do indeed like this. Should spark more interest from me to start watching A1GP again.

Onion News is the greatest. Anyone see their movie? Also funny .

Maybe he thinks laser scanners will be outfitted on the cars, therefore it warrants a server option, lol

Nice, but what is patented on the wheel?

Quote :

Tree surgeon Daniel Winn, who was working nearby, said: “He was trying to show off. I think he saw me eyeing up the car and decided to give it a few revs."

Hahah, the tree surgeon is the big story it seems. Daniel also gave condolences to the hawthorn hedge, reporters found.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Odd that now you're having to ask questions about the bonus questions, and I worked the answer out (hint: don't just rely on Wikipedia) you've resorted to petty remarks about something entirely unrelated to the topic, but when it was the other way around you, err, resorted to petty remarks...

In fact, you seem to be a lot more bitter than the Tweak of old we used to know and love. Well, like.

lol somebody has no sense of being baited into a joke.....

I do admire the low-life has-nothing-else-better-to-do forum personality though.

Quote from wark :

It's obvious. There is only one answer that could possibly be obvious.

Indeed

New bonus question up, anyone have an idea?

Some early era drivers have strange results such as "NC" (Not Classified) or "DNQ" (Did Not Qualify)... do those count as participation in the Grand Prix?

Quote from mkinnov8 :

What is new to show?

Hit the tail on the donkey there......

It's a russian sub's periscope.

Quote from Speedy Pro :

Awesome shots from the corkscrew, man! I really want to get out there at some point. Maybe ALMS in October.
Where in California are you?

I goto ALMS every year, always the best racing to see there lately. Though I missed seeing Champ Car which was fastest of all (CART of late 90's), which will now come back in 2009 (didn't show up that race weekend, only Atlantics raced -- all due to the IRL merger, lame).

I am north of it, on the peninsula in Redwood City, about an hour and a half away.

And nice pics. There was a girl I dated that owned a beautifully restored 2002.

Quote from MAGGOT :

Aside from the scoop to nowhere on the hood, that looks mean. I like.

Was thinking exactly the same thing. Exhaust out the side isn't right either.

And I think a real racing version of the RAC would need better cooling/intakes to the engine instead... and more outlets on the rear bumper. Hardtop version with a roof mouth would make more sense, and look cooler .

Quote from STROBE :

(EDIT) Lovely pics Tweak - what lens were you using? The pics all look sharp and shallow, so I'm guessing it's something fast and fast-focussing. Either that or you're a whiz at manual pre-focussing.

It says on Flickr what lenses some shots were using. I wish I had a slightly longer range than 300mm (which was the best I had), most good photographers are using something far bigger than that. However not all shots are completely sharp, Flickr adds a bit of sharpening to the re-sampled sizes. But yeah, I did have to do a lot of pre-focussing on bits I wanted photos of, otherwise it would've focused too fore/aft of the subject and the photo would've looked bad. The D70 is good with auto-focusing at a fast pace though.

Laguna Seca is a hard place to take photos, there are big runoff areas and some high fences in most places, so you are somewhat far from the cars for the good angles as a normal spectator. Photo/media passes are hard to get I imagine, and they have the best locations to shoot.

I am more of a macro and landscape kind of photographer, so this was my first real attempt at racing photos with a decent camera. And I like your macro shots Strobe

If you're curious where I took some of the photos around the track, Flickr has a neat 'map' feature you can click on the lower right, I plotted all the spots I took the pics

Took my friends D70 to Laguna Seca a few weekends ago, got some nice pics I think
