Nice read, fantastic adventure. I'm very happy for you, Tim... And happy to see you back after such a long time. 
Those pictures are incredible by the way.

I don't think so.
I play on my laptop (Turion 2,1GHz, HD3200) and it stays near 60fps most of the time even at 1440x900. Obviously I have to turn down the details a fair bit.
Play around with the graphics settings, with a 5200+ you shouldn't be having problems. Well at least not at 1280x720.

My point was: the 8800GTs probably aren't faulty. 
At work right now so I can't research...
...but a little googling will tell you that all(?) G84 and G86 cores have issues. The 8800GT is the G92 core, wich I think is a die shrink from one of those, so nVidia should have fixed it by then. No?

Whoa I'm featured in this thread. And it isn't because of my excuses!
Better hurry then... I'll go with a 1:51.37.
Enjoy the ride.
Yay! Brazil 4-2 Chile. A great match. Well played by Chile, it's good to win when that happens.
And now why the hell Robinho is doing in that team? The guy barely walks. Nilmar on the other hand was in great shape with a hat-trick.
Stupid coach.
Oh, and how could I forget... Congratulations for Paraguay, they're on the World Cup as well after the 1-0 win against Argentina.

Hehe not really out, they're still in 4th. To be honest I'd be very surprised if they lose their place, as they're 2 points ahead of Colombia and Equador. And three matches to go yet. You're right about Maradona though.Good luck to Serbia.
Better luck in 2014. :wave2:
Hehe, well... Argentina needs to win if they don't want to see their place in the next world cup compromised.
And I still think that this brazilian team is hardly our best. I don't agree on almost any player, and once again we'll have to rely on our keeper and pray for Kaká and Luis Fabiano to be on a good night.
Whoever wins I hope we have a good show. Always enjoyed their football as well.
And good luck to Scotland and County.

America's (and possibly world's?) greatest football match is coming in two days.
That's Argentina vs. Brazil.

You are. And you even participated in multiple seasons...
Eighteen pages...
As much as I welcome a good league administration, I think this rulebook + the discussion I'm seeing here will lead from, and I don't mean to offend anyone, an amateur-endurance-league-ran-by-amateur-admins to a very-professional-endurance-league-aimed-at-unexperienced-drivers-who-have-no-life-outside-LFS.
I also think that in the end, at least on the first races, half of the grid will have no idea of the actual rules because they a) couldn't bother reading it or b) read it superficially and forgot most of it. And then those who really took the effort to read and understand will suffer anyway.
I'm not saying what is good or bad, just thinking about it. What I know for sure is that I got very happy when NDR stepped up and now I find myself not wanting to take part. Not that it matters much, as I see some people are indeed interested.
I'm just sad, there's so much effort these days enforcing things that racing itself is just an extra.

crasher.mprLooks like there is... if you're an admin.
Nice post by the way.
It's a "sexy cars" thread but most of them look as sexy as a brick. 
Attached is one sexy and dirty.

Well... Vettel DNF, Massa nearly died, Brawn tried to go back to the Honda days, Red Bull was only half what it used to be.
The good news is that it can't go worse than that on the next round!

Oh dear, considering last year's performance I changed Button for Massa. 
Hope he gets well anyway.
Looks like full Red Bull is the team to have right now.

Oh I got one as well, but I always forget to post. Hopefully I'll do it tonight when I get home.
Yeah... But then again there were cars everywhere, I don't think after 20 minutes or so you could do a clean lap at all. And I didn't see or hear about any accident, which is quite impressive and just shows how good (fast or not) these guys are.
The speed difference was really scary, I found it hard to judge as I came near the T1 braking zone and there was slower cars braking - you come so fast and show a nose, but in the end they brake a lot later and the cornering speed is more similar than you'd expect, so it was usually safer to pass after the corner.
Quite nice to storm through the s/f straight with all those slower cars battling.

Good to see people enjoyed it. 
Gotta think about next year, will be hard to do something different again.

Good stuff, my race was going quite nice, could've finished from 3rd to 5th, as me, bean0 and EliteAti were close all the time.
Did one mistake at the middle of the race that cost me the 3rd place, but was around 1-2 seconds behind bean0 and catching up (I think).
Was really really hoping for a fight but then the power went down. Pretty insane as I'm using a notebook plugged on a 19'' monitor - everything was ok, but the monitor suddenly died... I thought "oh noes hope I didn't take anyone out with me", but the router died too obviously and I timed out.
Anyway thanks for coming everyone, there's more next year. And thanks J@tko for taking care of the children.
