Perez's 'right turn' has very little impact on his actual path through the kink. Just look at Perez's road position in the first 2 images, before contact.
Perez pretty much doesn't turn right at the right kink. Do you recognise that by keeping the steering pretty much straight in a right hand turn has the same effect as turning left on a straight?
Might be taken down soon, but have a look here. Vettel's path is very much different to Perez's.
It's true that simply increasing the frequency of the physics loop isn't going to make an unrealistic sim magically realistic, but having a high frequency physics loop (at least in critical aspects) is a requirement for an accurate (real-time driving) simulation.
Obviously that's not to say that AC is necessarily more realistic than LFS because of the higher frequency ('main') physics loop either. I do, however, think that AC's higher system requirements is a better path for more realistic and more complete physics simulation than the LFS path. The LFS path seems to be to try and be inclusive to those with obsolete hardware/software, possibly at the expense of those with newer hardware/software, whose equipment is able to run a simulation with higher fidelity/realism.
I've got no idea how Briscoe avoided getting a penalty for spinning Sato, considering some of the other penalties given (e.g. Andretti hitting Sato near the end of the race).
Only parts of the physics run at higher than 100Hz ("That is the reason for LFS's high update rate of 2000 Hz in the sub-updates"). The 'main' physics loop 'only' runs at 100Hz (source 1, source 2).
Kunos has mentioned in a Go development thread that he intends to hit "300-400Hz on the physics side" for Assetto Corsa (source). The traction control on one of the road cars in-game is set at 400Hz, suggesting (but not necessarily confirming...) they're hitting the upper bound of that at the moment.
No, it's an add-on track. You can download it here (link in first post). Extract the archive and place it in your StreamApps\common\assettocorsa\content\tracks folder, e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\assettocorsa\content\tracks
The correct post link is #1854408, the incorrect one is #185440. It looks like AndRand just mistakenly trimmed the last '8' when he was selecting the part of the quoted post he wanted to keep.
That's the second time I've heard this argument today; not sure where it's coming from. Rappers (generally) use the "****" variant, which is loosely equivalent to "friend" (it's generally interchangeable with terms like "homie" and "brother"). It's (generally) used as the total opposite of the 'racist' usage of the term "ni**er" (as a pejorative, racial slur etc).
I think some people involved with Top Gear (including the presenters and at least some of the management) have, on numerous occasions, expressed racist/sexist/homophobic etc views. I think in this most recent incident that Clarkson was gratuitously racist. If you want to know more about what I think look back at my posts in this thread.
