I don't think Westhill should be slow at all.

Should be blind, fast, flowing, quick and demanding! Not all tracks have to be all technical, slow turns and tight. Fast racing tracks and Westhill is a great example are sometimes the hardest to keep on pace, consistent and quick. You go off line or wide in 1 turn, you have lost alot of time on the next straight etc. You have to be quick around the turn etc.

A street track for example, you can brake late, gas later etc on some turns depending on whats next. Maybe thats just me though, im quicker, more consistent with much better race craft on the south city, fern bay rather then the long Aston configs and Westhill. It requires a whole different driving style, and in LFS, we have ALOT of slow turns.

I say add another Westhill config, slow it down maybe here or there if needed, but its reputation is fast and blind like said earlier, that's its characteristics and history.

Australia and Britain last year. But that's just looking at stats.

I can agree there the way you put it, but he has made some excellent comebacks from the back or from a ruined qualifying. At the same time, he hasn't.

Quote from Joris :

He's a hotlapper, not a true racer.

Yes because a "hotlapper" who is not a "true racer" would really be able to beat 18 other drivers on the field in Formula 1.

And tell me.. When did Massa give up in that race?

Just looking at the standings now.

If Massa WINS he will be on 87 points. If Kimi doesn't score any points he will stay on 57. That's 30 points over 3 races but Massa would have more wins then Kimi so Kimi would be out of the championship if things go to that scenario.

Regarding my first post saying most drivers would have night racing experience, i was more talking about karting and lower class racing. At the same time, some may have none at all, and some may have top class night racing.

Thought i would try this comp out, kinda sin city/comic style.


Hi-Res 1680x1050

A bit hot in here?


*SNIFF*

it smells like bananas too!

Well im 18, not like thats important too much, but he sounds like a 16 year old, and im wthinking, back in what day? :drink:

How young do you want it to be man?

Didn't Alonso start F1 at the age of 19? or was it 21? That's still young either way.

Kimi = 29 years old racing f1 for about 7 years
Massa = 27 years old racing f1 for about 6 years
Alonso = 27 years old racing f1 for about 6 years
Lewis = 23? years old racing f1 for about 2 years now
Hekki = 27 years old racing f1 for about 2 years now
Vettel = 21 years old on his 2nd year in f1

A few fast drivers

Vibrant? Passing or not, just watching them even on TV before the lights go off seeing the red Ferrari's and silver chrome Mclaren's are very vibrant!

Seeing some amazing battles, plenty. Monty, Schumy, Kimi, Alonso. Amazing. Not everyone can be as amazing as Senna and Prost or Clack, Gilles etc. Things don't work like that.

I enjoy watching circuit racing much more then the motocross, and i love the motocross. Where did motocross come from anyway? Its practically two different motorsports.

Back in the day? Dude, how old are you anyway?

Quote from FlyeThemoon :

Old F1 or F1 Cars with Turbocharger

GO AWAY Scirocco i want BMW M3 E90

I dont think they will put an M3 on the demo version.

I think it will run fine. Seriously, people are talking too much about all the problems. Its not like they don't have racing experience at night.

I think he sees it more as, more benefits being an s2 user. Maybe not, but i say that on behalf of me . I dont see it really discrimination, i think you have a negative mind. .

Quote from scania :

Maybe we can be a car tuner to build a race version of RAC, like Race Pro have a wide body WTCC car

but...MRT is a Formula car, how can it be a GTR......

I want to have a XF V8!

just like Cilo V6
a hatch back MR car with FO8's engine, F1's TC & a Double clutch gear box, same class at FZR

and a lesser power version, no TC, H shift, FXO engine with a high boost turbo, same class with LFR class

a tuned down version LX LX5--same class with the VW, LX3--same class with XFG, LX2--same class with UF1

GT3 cup version of FZ5, same class with FWD GTR

FZ GT1 & XR GTR RR---just like 911 GT1 & CLK GTR

FX GTR street version--just like CLK DTM street version

Too many unnecessary modified cars. New cars would be better, as well as some modified cars to suit the classes. Some you stated (in bold) above i like though.

Quote from Forbin :

Everyone knows British humour is just a rumour invented by baby boomers.

Mate, that belongs in the bad jokes thread, not here.

Ignore the prick. Normally people who keep talking shit, lack what they are talking about, BIG TIME.

However, do you know FACT that he is bad? At the same time, he may be very very good with computers.

Best option is to get over him and ignore him. Who cares..? Just because he could be good at that, doesnt mean he is at other things that are more important.. just smile and nod! He will get fustrated eventually and piss off. If he some how does become some sort of threat, knock him one.

Quote from Mattesa :

The problem with Kimi's Ferrari is all down to setup. Having set his... 9th(?) fastest lap, and once again doing it in the final laps, it's obvious what the problem is.

Kimi's Ferrari doesn't like fuel.

Now if Ferrari could figure out a way to run the car with no petrol in it, than there's still hope that Kimi can wrestle his way back up into a respectable position, and simultaneously solve the world's energy problems.

What do you suggest? Orange juice?

Good to see the championship separated from 1 point for Lewis and Massa with 4 rounds left.

Quote from DevilDare :

actually i did, he couldnt see glock, and yes webber was a bit harsh, but have you seen other racers??? i think it was button spun out Couldthard (i think the drivers are wrong but meh) and no penlaty, not even talking about it.... but when hamilton does something bit out of line everyones goes "OMFG PENALISE HIM QUICK"

Mate, your going out of line by putting words in other peoples mouths and stating something that is completely silly (ie, saying he is the only one who thinks that, when people before you say they agree with him).

I dont see anyone saying "OMFG PENALISE HIM QUICK"

Quote from DevilDare :

Yes, you are the only one.....

Clearly not, because i agree. Im not 100% on him DESERVING a penalty, but i feel the way he was driving this race, was worse then last race. So in that logic, a penalty would make complete sense.

Quote from amp88 :

No, you're not alone. The fact the Hamilton fan club haven't been on defending him means even they think he was out of line (even James Allan said it was naughty FFS!). Even if you excuse him of the Glock move (which I don't think you should) the Webber one was totally out of line.

Yeh, true, but you forgot when he also got Alonso from the rear while trying to make a pass on the start straight.

Very VERY nice driving mate!

If massa did the same thing as Lewis, it would be "hes not a real championship contender" and 100 points on his negatives. If kimi did it, it would be, Kimi has completely lost it, Massa is a top driver and all the Lewis fans will all be having a go at Kimi.

No matter what happens, there is always going to be the gang throwing comments to the other. He copped a penalty. Inconsistant or not, he gained advantage over the cutting.

Sydney -

Eastern Creek, racetrack, drag strip and kart track
Harbour bridge
Opera House
Center Point tower
Imax
my house

simple basic ones mate, you could pm me later when you are here, i know some good resturants etc, places to go for fun, rather then landmarks. maybe jump on the ozbee lfs racing forum and see if the aussie drivers will organise a karting event, they do time to time.

Quote from Gunn :

This happens all the time in F1. Nothing to do with Schumacher.


The decision was made because the pole position was at a disadvantage. Nothing to do with the driver, any driver could have had the same request granted.

This happens all the time in F1 and almost nobody gets penalised for it. When a penalty is usually handed out it would be a fine. Sutil's race was of course not compromised at all.


The track was wet. Did Ferrari and the FAI hose it down so that Kimi could crash thereby proving beyond all doubt that there is a crazy conspiracy at play?

He wasn't forced to cut the corner, he was forced to yield, which he did too late. Then he took up off the road and gained plenty of momentum before letting the Ferrari past. It was deemed that he gained an advantage from cutting the corner, which he did. That's the rules.
If you think that somehow Kimi was wrong to drive like that, you might want to watch a few of Hamilton's races first.

If there's a job going with the British Press, you should definitely apply.

You sir, are 100% correct!

HAHAHAHA.

american commericals are the shit.

The Bose ad did not go away!

How was James Allen doing on the last 2 laps? I was watching speed, i would love to hear JA now!
