But.. they are not borring

Also, long story short:
In a skiing finale some days ago the norwegian Martin Johnsrud Sundby accidentically strayed over into Maxim Vylegsjanin path on the finish line. The russian team delivered a protest, claiming it to be non-fair and demanded Martin to get a DQ. At same time Martin admited that it was not fair play by any means, but that he was too tired to understand what really was going on at the end.

However, the russians was not satisfied. When the first protest got turned down, they protested again to the official skiing... what you call it, jury? Anyhow, it got turned down again, so now what? They tok it to higher courts! Jesus almighty, I don't know the transelation for this but basically it's now so high up in the system that it will be judged by people who normally judge criminals

Any thoughts about it? We can agree upon that it was not fair play, but when an athlet gives it all and really canot make up whats going on around him, is that cheating or is it like we call in it in motorsport, a "racing incident" ?

Edit: Trying to find a video of this.
Edit2: Cant find a god damn video of this <.< Also, Martin did get a written warning of the first jury, because of the situation, but it was concluded that it was not intentionally nad therfor DQ would be quite harsh.

Agree with above. Lately, or over the last years people have constantly moaned about TG beeing too little serious and giving too little usefull information. Every upgoing person should understand that TG is a program intented to be funny, and by chance have topics that revolts around cars one way or another.

I love cars, but sometimes I just want something funny and interesting to watch, TG delivers. And what it does, beeing funny that is, it does pretty darn good in my eyes

Quote from Mackie The Staggie :

Absolutely over the moon that Bjoerndalen won Gold, when I first got access to Eurosport I got to see Cross Country Skiing and Biathlon and he was one of the top guys, that was years ago and he's slowly dropped from the top spots since then.

However he's got himself now his 12th Olympic medal (7th Gold I think) fair play to him.

Yeah we were trilled about it too! He have struggled somewhat lately due to the fact he is becoming a older man. I think that with this OL, he can quit happily.

Too bad I do not have time to watch more sports these days, but anyhow, it was a french victory today?

Great episode, and my god what a car! The P1 is insane, and looks insane too! I'm looking forward to Stig testing it out :]

Haha, I love those

Yeah haha, Looking forward to see episode two When does it air?

Quote from e2mustang :

well what u expect from bmw drivers eh?

God damnit, Karma stung me

Quote from Kristi :

I posted a setup on last page, try that. AIs are doing 2.05, and 2.03 isn't that difficult to get.

Sorry, missed that. And meant 2.xx lap times haha!
Well but seriously, dunno what you do, but the 1st and 2th Ai does low 2.04 laps and sometimes down to 2.03 if they are not close to eachothers :s

Somone got some tips how do win BMW challenge on Mugello? God damn Ai does 1.53 (or 1.43, canot remember the correct lap times atm), while I an stuck at low 55s.Tried setup changes and various driving styles..but they just seem to be that much better than me ; ( Also they drive like total ****s btw, ramming me off track while I canot even spin them.

I check this topic out every time there is an update
But as most people say here, it's on a field I'm not too familiar with, and therfor I rather sit and listen than trying to come up with something clever

But please continue on, and maybe us others learns something every now and then

Quote from Kristi :

You have to play with the setups a bit. The one you get by default is horrible. I was able to get low 2.03s easily.

Please share that setup

IMO try various cars and tracks. Learning one combo is good, but managing to drive fast with any car on any track is great!

Ahh for ****s sake...

Yeah heard the news a minute ago, didn't expect that.. Any illness or sadly a too rought life with a fatal ending?

Either way, he was a superb actor

Anyone know how to beat the BMW's AI Challenge at Mugelo (or whatever it is named)? I seem to not be able to do under 2.05 laps, whiler the AI does 2.04 laps :/

If we enter corner at same speed it seems my car just understeers soooo much and I lose speed compared to them. Tried more wings but then I lost so much speed on the straights that I ended up doing worse.

Deleted the folder in my documents and it now works perfectly, thanks
Don't seem to have any FPS drop with 23 AIs, other than if I put smoke on ultra it really drops to like 10 FPS (from 60-80) ^-^

Quote from Töki (HUN) :

Delete your AC folder from documents

Will it reinstall itself on next launch then? Will try when I get back home

Quote from troy :

Sounds to me like you may have some residual files from the tech demo left causing problems?

Maybe, I will remove that aswell. Thanks for tip

Edit: Removed tech preveiw and validated the files on AC with the steam tool - still same problem ://////////////////////////////////////////////

Will do, just anoys me that AC desides to do this shit when I have done no modifications to it :/

Ok now I am pissed off! ****ing game won't let me play anything else than Magione with the Lotus car. I have tried everything, restarting game, computer, every setting there is but this retarded game only loads that track and car up.

What to do? Been trying for hours to get this working, but all I get is this combo.

What the hell did I just see

The Lotus Evora S - Petronas Syntium is marvelous! Great job

Haha, great last comments

Quote from Psysim :

Reaching 2ft from your chair to your pedal with a brick and achieving 1,000,000 miles is approx 40.255 times around the world

Eclipsed, you just beat me, well played! :cool:

Haha!

This is madness haha! It's... well can someone make a clever explenation just how long that distance is? Like from planet earth to moon, or around the world 30 times or whatnot
