Lewis is apparently going to start from the pitlane. He usually runs Carbone Industries brakes, but switched to Brembo today. Since they failed he is now switching back.

I love Jack's rift videos. First one I saw was with Mirror's Edge. I must have any easy time visualizing what the experience is like because when he was doing a tightrope walking bit it gave me vertigo.

Turned on the truck race to Timothy Peters get turned into the wall by Rom Hornaday when Peters came up the track. Amazingly, there was no yellow, but then Peters intentionally spun Hornaday 1/2 a lap later in the middle of a pack. Interesting to see what MASCAR says about this.

Bottas made passing look easy today. Alonso and Vettel made it look difficult.

Great race all around.

The butter sword and iPad were funny, but I've seen some slightly less ridiculous iteration of all the others in real life.

Quote from Anthoop :

How so?
I see a bad car.
Two good drivers.
One is younger and has more current experience with the team than the other....no?

Not to mention the fact that Alonso is almost certainly getting preferential treatment.

Quote from Mysho :

I did so too, but the "old" community died a long time ago so you do not have that challenge here anymore.

Shhhh, some of us are still here, just lurking.

Seriously, this is a historic F1 track. Maybe not to the levels of the Monza, Monaco, and the likes, but it is. They couldn't have had a nice traditional looking trophy?

Technically, I believe Forza 5 is the first game to feature a laser scanned Nurburgring. IMO it shows. Some of the kerbs seem oddly wide, as they have in previous Forza's, but for the most part it seems spot on. The trees are are really shitty, two dimensional things, but there's so damn many of them and you're moving so fast that you'll never notice. The whole thing is very impressive.

So far I've only done one lap of it, in the Brabham BT24, and it was absolutely terrifying.

I like the arcade tank physics. When I played arcade I would run full speed at the enemy and then drift circles around their tank.

Quote from [RF]-art555 :

It can only deal with planes and light vehicles, it has no armor-piercing ammo, 45mm high-explosives are useless even against Pz 2.

Crap, the it must be the Yak-9t I am thinking about. The 37 mm on that has armor piercing ammo.

2014 Indianapolis 500 coverage in full.

What you need to do is get the Yak-9K before the start doing combined tanks/aircraft again. It's got a 45mm that the call the fridge launcher and it absolutely annihilates tanks.

Hard to describe how I felt about this. Maybe I can't think of a word positive enough for it? All I can say right now is that it was a very satisfying, well rounded race. Perfect weather, race had a bit of everything and the turn 4 seats were simply mindblowing. I actually teared up as they came by on Lap 1 because it was so beautiful.

The buzz was electric, everyone hoping that race would go the whole way without a yellow after the first 130 laps and we were pissed when it didn't. The anger wore off quickly though with such good racing. The last 6 laps, there were no favorites. Everyone cheered for every driver. As much as I wanted to see Helio win, Hunter Reay kicked ass all day and definitely deserved it. We all cheered for his winning pass.

Pretty much seals the deal for my family. We're making this a yearly occurrence.

It's going to be one hell of a race today.

I played this a lot in the last few months. Was only playing as British, so I eventually got to Tier V and promptly decided to never fly a British jet again (the first Meteor is laughably bad). Since then I've been working on US and USSR, trying to get some big cannoned planes for when they start doing combined battles again.

Tanks are..... ugh. I had the closed beta and they were decent fun for a bit, but balancing issues really started to ground down my patience.

Old sedans with crappy bodykits that keep running into each other. It is Need for Speed!

It was Arsenal's game to lose yesterday and I'll be damned if they didn't almost do it.

When I say blocking the leader, I don't just mean holding the racing line. That's perfectly fair, run as fast as you can on the line and if I can't get by you then it's my fault. I mean genuinely defending and blocking against a car that's a lap ahead. The slower car still has some responsibility. They shouldn't be allowed to make deliberate moves that endanger the leader.

I got behind a lapped car at Limerock and after 2 laps of him moving to the inside to block me I finally accepted I would have to try the outside. Of course, he got on the brakes way too late and plowed right into the side of me. The amazing thing about the rookie classes is that no matter what license level the people have, they are all equally stupid.

:ices_rofl

Gave myself a 3-month subscription as an end of the semester gift.

3 races back and I already feel the same. I love the game, but hate the people. In 3 races I saw: brake checking bump drafters, not letting the leaders by for the blue flag (I understand you don't have to yield, but blocking the leader? really?), and the typical plethora of poor decisions. It's like these people don't have brains.In before "Of course they don't, they pay to play iRacing."

I love when people do that. I raced a guy real hard in the Miata at Limerock once and ended up winning because he spun. After the race he said I was slowing us down and being disrespectful/too risky by trying to pass him when not on the front straight. We only made contact once (0x, afterwards I conceded several car lengths as an apology) and that race was the only time I averaged a sub 1:00 lap at Limerock.

How the hell can one win and be too slow?

They ever get around to adding heists?

Worst of all, he's not the only one who made the mistake.

Someone at the NASCAR race.
