Yeah, but also kinda odd. They have linked that video but it doesn't say anywhere during the video, or I missed it lol

You're right it doesn't. I think perhaps it was meant to be a question about when or how a driver activates the system, and it's gone wrong half way through.

Quote from adamlfs :

When the driver brakes.

That's the answer, although it's kind of vague since all the teams have different systems. Ferrari use a pedal, which opens the wing only when it's pressed. Other teams can push the button to activate it, then push the button again to close it, and some teams just hold the button to activate it and let go to close it. But hitting the brakes is the universal way of closing the wing, all teams have to have that in place.

Nice one, funny how ITV can't manage to upload their coverage before someone else can record it, render it and upload it themselves.

Anyone got the BTCC action from the weekend? ITV are shockingly bad at putting motorsport up on their ITV player.

Quick drifting video.

I'm liking the game, definately a lot better than the first one.

Gillett is very bad news, he nearly ran one of the most successful football teams in the world into the ground, then refused to sell the club, nearly causing them to enter administration. The only reason he sold the club was because he got forced to, that and perhaps he feared for his life, because had he ever set foot on the streets of Liverpool there is no doubt that someone would have stabbed him or shot him.

Quick question, couldn't the games on demand feature on the xbox be used to release the game to people in the UK? I don't know if the PS3 has something similar, or if it would be viable, but it's worth a thought.

I was ready to pop up the shops and buy this game until I saw it wasn't being released in the UK. But I am going to the states in May, so I could get myself a copy while I'm there. If I get bored before then, how much would it cost to get a copy imported, and what sort of wait would I be expecting?

First race of the season is always tentative, usually we get that out of the way in Bahrain and it all kicks off in Australia. There were still some exciting battles on the track, and the difference in strategy and tyre performance will be much more interesting further on in the season. Well done to Petrov and Perez today, Sauber look strong this season, so do STR.

Martin nearly said "Alonso got a face full of Virgin"

Quote from DeKo :

Same tub (not unusual), different front wing, whole new rear end. It's a development of last years car, but that is not very far away from most teams.

Of course, it's shit, but it's not last years car.

Last years car was made of tracing paper and sticky tape, maybe they have upgraded to cardboard and glue but it's still a dog. Glad they decided to throw them out of the race, they looked dangerous in qualifying and practice, several times cars came across them in P3 and nearly ran over the top of them.

Rooting for Petrov and Kobayashi today, Hamilton to crash into Vettel in T1 and cause a pile up.

HRT won't make the race no matter what happens because they won't beat the 107% qualifying rule, Virgin are borderline too, if the teams decide to go quick in Q1 they are basically screwed. So it might be worth making the investment to get better drivers.

Red Bulls wings are flapping about more than our old friend Mr Legards mouth used to, my money is on them for qualifying 1 and 2.

Quote from BlueFlame :

Watched both races, thanks for that. I wish they'd show more onboards of the Volvo though, DAMMMMNITTT

If they decided the championship on which car sounded the best then the Volvo would win by a mile.

Quote from gandlers :

Marmite is ok... discuss...

I love it, but if I have too much it makes me ill. I like it on lightly burnt toast, and sometimes I dip breadsticks in it and nibble on em. I also like crisps with Marmite on them, like the Walkers Marmite flavour ones, and Twiglets. But my favourite crisps of all time were the Marmite Mini Chedders, which they sadly don't make anymore.

Picking on the incapacitated retard got boring after a while.

+1, it's like poking a dead squirrel with a stick.

Great tunes, looking forward to the next one.

Quote from NSX_FReeDoM :

BOTH Craig Lowndes and Jenson Button will do laps in the F1 car? I thought only Craig Lowndes is driving the F1 car while Jenson will be driving the V8 Supercar.

EDIT:

This is VERY disappointing.

You know there will be someone with a stop watch, and footage of the lap will show the time.

How wide is your waterfall? I have started again and, so far, have been successful with a 6 block wide chute.

Yeh it's about 6 blocks wide.

"Yes we had to stop because some stone came through Timo's seat. Up in the ass of Timo *fisting gesture* and yes (see picture), he liked it."

Quote from legoflamb :

I agree, after a few hours of building, then testing the small distance built so far only to find out that boats already crappy controls in multilayer are magnified, it would be impossible to control the boats through any kind of interesting log flume track. Free fall pit would be much better and more practical.

I have given up on the log flume idea.

If you make it wide enough then you can do it, I have a pretty big waterfall that takes turns and we have boat races down it on our server.

I will go back to watching it when they get bigger engines and do away with traction control. Last season was dull apart from a few special moments from Rossi.

I'm sure I'm missing a piece, I'm so tyred, maybe after a wheely good sleep I will rimember what it is.

As braking forces increase the emphasis on wrist strength training becomes more important.
