There's a few kids at my university who mine. They say the only reason its profitable for them is because they can do it in the library so that the school has to foot the power bill.
Both of those .gifs.
Not to mention the fact that it steals sections directly from Istanbul, Silverstone, and Hockenheim.
The problem is that it's a modern Tilke track and it contains many of his passing gimmicks. For example, widening the track on entry to a hairpin so that there are more lines, but then the track looks mutant. Turn 1 is the worst culprit.
That's hardly an American design feature. The closest thing we have to that would be the last turn of Laguna Seca I guess, but that's not a mutant hairpin, it's just a tight corner.
It's a Tilke track with typical Tilke features. Yes, it may be one of his best designs, but it still contains a lot of crap that is his signature.

Seriously, that's a terrible two tone job on that Lamborghini.
Clearly it's shopped, there aren't enough sponsor logos on it for it to be a real Lotus.
Speaking of which, they've got the car absolutely covered in advertising, but they still struggle for money?

Interesting race at Long Beach right now. Tons of contact.
Agreed. How many cars are expected to show up to Indy now?
Yea, start times are usually 1 or 2 hours apart from what I recall. It does suck a bit to wait, but you end up with people at your performance level, so the racing is usually good.
Also, if you're a lucky bastard, you may be able to run 2 series at the same time. Like, maybe Radical RS8s run at 1 and 3 pm, but IndyCars run at 2 and 4 pm. Races are almost always under an hour, so you can run both if you have the endurance.
And, ugh, don't remind me about cars and tracks. The nice thing about buying cars is that they are raced for a whole season, but seemingly always on tracks that you don't own. Meanwhile, the tracks you buy seem to always be raced in a season for a car you don't own. The double ****over is the fact that almost any track you buy now will probably be off 90% of the schedules in a year because of the new tracks that have been introduced.
From what I remember there's racing around the clock (strongest at EU/US peaks obviously), but you somehow always find yourself coming home 1 minute after the start of the last set of races, so you have to wait an hour or two for the next one.
3 PM start times were the bane of my existence in high school. I would get out of class and have to run home to make the start. Having to wait for a few cars to pass before I cross the road was enough to keep me out.

I don't have my iRacing account hooked up to my main email, but I just checked the one it is on and I do say, I get a 1/2 off or 2 months free promo pretty much every month. Maybe when summer hits I'll get back on the bandwagon...
Participation credits galore from when he last played, presumably.
I wouldn't call it a dive bomb. Dive bombs happen on turn in when the chasing driver decides to carry way too much speed into the corner, forcing their car off its line and into the leading driver.
Magnussen was holding his line on the inside and moving at roughly the same speed as Kimi. It's Kimi who decides to try to hit a late apex, like Magnussen wasn't there. to be fair, he probably did this because Magnussen almost wasn't.
Should Magnussen have saw this coming? Probably. Kimi was taking a late apex and that is a fairly common line through that corner. Does that mean it is Magnussen's fault and he should be penalized? I'm not so sure.

Forza still has assisted/numbed steering even on simulation settings, which is the most prominent issue at the moment. Best example occurs while driving the Lotus E21. Mash your analog stick/wheel all the way to the side and it takes a few tenths of a second for the game to apply full lock. Annoying as hell when you need to have lightening quick inputs in an F1 car.
Not so sure about idiotic, but lerts is still the most fascinating thing to ever happen here.
The one main issue with LFS right now is the number of people online. Generally speaking, on week nights there is only 1 decently populated S2 server (which is multi class racing, so even if 25 people are on, you might only be racing 5 of them) and a dozen populated demo servers that you are already familiar with.
On Saturdays, the main S2 server switches over to XRG/XFG only on a variety of tracks. You may be bored of these cars from the demo, but with the constant track rotation and 30+ drivers on the grid, Saturdays are a blast. People drive respectfully and, with that many drivers, you always have 2-3 people at your pace who you can run bumper to bumper with.
Sundays, the main S2 server either runs FBM (so another demo car) or GTR. Either way, the racing is still exciting. Not as close as the bumping and rubbing you can do on Saturdays, but there are still big grids and a variety of tracks.
So, I guess it really depends on what you want. If you're only prepared to commit to weekends, then I reckon you can still easily get your money's worth. If you want racing every night, you might want to look elsewhere.
Off Topic: Why the heck does Cargame.NL run the FBM and not the FOX? I can run the FBM all week on demo servers, so why not let me run the FOX once and a while?

IMO, we haven't seen Williams true pace yet. It's clear that they have a high speed/low drag car which lacks in rear end grip. So far, this has killed them in qualifying, but it could be the ideal package for a track like Bahrain.
Q1 delayed 15 minutes.
Come ooooonnnnn it's 4 am here.
