Watched The Truman Show today. If you haven't watched it yet, do it as soon as you can. If you have, do it again sometime.

No ideas here, but I'd definitely be interested in joining if someone can find one.

I blame my lack of information. Only joined on France.

We're doing pretty well on the subleague competition!

Anyone got any bets? Just got one right.

Quote from zeugnimod :

Which team are you?

Souza racing. :]

Oh dear, that's a lot of points.

Nah, I was pretty crap yesterday, you don't need to worry about that lol.

There was a problem and we had to make half the event without InSim. :P So I don't know how I will get the data to come up with the results.

Ooh, congrats to Mr. Scott as he won again and took the title from me! (damn you!) And Taha for giving him the competition. And everyone else for participating. Shame on the late joiners!

Oh and hope all went well with the bewbs... :]

Amazing Vettel! I'm just afraid of what could happen when he gets to Red Bull.

Kubica was quiet on his own and left 8 drivers on the dust. Alonso waited, waited, changed tyres only once and got a huge advantage! I expected more from Massa and the Toyotas. Hamilton was incredible but also a c*ck... Fisico needed more water. Kimi was poor. Bourdais so unlucky.

Looking forward to the next races.

Quick question: those outside superpole can make changes to the setup? Anyone else think Hamilton had a "wet setup"? He was flying on wet and damn slow on dry...

Lol no idea. I didn't make to the semifinals, so I think you're still second! Looks like we'll have a harder time coming up with the results because of the little surprise we had.

Best podium ever. From those that I've seen.

Haha, he wouldn't even know how to turn on the PC.

:P Same in my house...

Quote from Kaw :

Unfortunatly I am not able to race tomorow

:sadbanana

I think the "confusion" is because, as far as I know, there isn't a rule that says that you have to give back the position after an illegal overtake. It's bloody common sense, fair play. Something most drivers seem to be lacking.

But wasn't the penalty because of the cut anyway? That day I found it awful to give Lewis a penalty, but after some replays and some reading I began to think it was the right decision. No matter how hard you try (and I tried), you can't change the simple fact that Lewis passed Kimi at La Source because he cut the Bus Stop.

Doesn't matter what would happen if there was a wall, if he had braked, if they had crashed, if he had not overtaken Kimi at La Source, if he would had passed Kimi anyway, because it's all speculation. What happened is: he passed because of the cut. And that's unfair advantage, meaning you'll be penalized.

That's what I think anyway.

Ask him to join us.

I'm not following this thread (Victor's anti-cut with insim), but provided it works, you guys think we need it?

I'm talking about that corner, had one or two complains about it in the past...

See attachment. Change there to "keyboard - no help" or "keyboard - stabilised". I'm not sure what's the difference about them as I've never used, but I'm sure someone will come here and explain.

Looks like it actually worked.

Edit @G!NhO: it's the world's largest particle accelerator. :P

Funny... I got Piquet before Hockenheim and he finished 2nd. Now I got Alonso before Spa and he's 4th. No way I'm saying who I'll take next!

One more bonus question and I can have Ferrari engine. Hope they don't blow anymore :P Cool thing I lost the first 6 races and I'm already pwning Blas

Quote from Becky Rose :

Yeah, that's pretty much what I was going to say.

Quote from Becky Rose :

My memory is not that selective, it's just appalling and I lack the recall to remember my opinion on it or the move itself - but in this instance the 2nd corner in the chicane was Hamilton's but irrespective he gave the place back. So why the penalty?

Kimi had half the car ahead, I can upload a pic if you want. On the matter of the penalty, yes it was wrong and I totally agree FIA screwed a very good race.

Well it was plain stupid. Massa was saying his 2nd place was luck, imagine now that his only 2 points behind Lewis. Hamilton won, end of story. I reckon Massa vs. Kubica (Japan last year) was much worse, with *lots* of contact and people actually overtaking from outside the track. So ok, it was unfair and you're right to complain.

On a side note, I must say this because some people here have selective memory: Hockenheim 2008, Hamilton overtakes Massa at the hairpin and pushes him out of the track on the corner exit. Massa backs off to avoid colision. Now I remember people saying in this very forum that that move was pure genius and that's how racing/things are. So stop complaining about Kimi pushing people off track, he did *exactly* what Lewis did.

Gotta love Spa. Everything was already said about the race itself, leaders etc., so let me kindly ask for something...

Heidfeld said he tried to overtake Alonso, who defended "a lot" and made him go out of the track, but managed to pass on the second try (all in the last lap together with all that crazy overtakings). I want an onboard video of Heidfeld's last two laps! NOW!!!

Note to evilpimp: don't you try to imitate Heidfeld again!


Edit @N I K I: Kimi wasn't close enough, he was trying to avoid Kimi getting some draft. I think.

Well I'm playing on a Athlon 64 2800+ with 512mb RAM. Main difference is I have a Radeon 9600 Pro. So it's possible to play if you get a half-decent graphics card - other than race starts, I usually get constant 60fps (because of vsync).

But I don't recommend it, unless you don't really care about high-res textures, high details, AA/AF etc. and don't want to spend (almost) any money. Edit: Oh, keep away from those autox objects as well.

Beautiful! I remember Zonta saying he just lifted and prayed.

True, that track is simply awesome. Aw remember Alonso and Hamilton together at Eau Rouge? :eclipsee_

Quote from NitroNitrous :

Here you have

Gracias.

Damn, not as rainy as I wanted, but there's a chance to rain on qualify. Hopefully this will mix things better for the race.
