Quote from ajp71 :The wall isn't the issue here, it's avoidable contact after the finish.

Not entirely true... Even in the best possible case a car would be thrown back onto the track which is also inacceptable...

I don't see why the walls have to be placed right on the edge of the track in the first place, you clearly see if there is a wreck there is no room to slow the car down before hitting something hard...

Not really an achievement, now is it?

Radio Le Mans is almost as bad as the Eurosport commentators... Discussing about how a F1-driver is used to 3 half-hour stints and so on... Are they forgetting Wurz started in Sports Car racing before changing to F1? And on that basis, Kristensen would be used to 3 10-minute-sprints... :banghead:

Quote from TAYLOR-MANIA :Who knows, maybe Vettel could've won the last race, but Button punished him and made no mistakes. His drives are championship winners.

I think you once again saw what was pretty apparent in Monaco - the Red Bull seems to have an incredible aero package, but it just doesn't have the mechanical grip that makes the Brawns so superior...

The problem with all the fuss right now is: it's much easier to just say something sucks than to come up with something workable oneself... I bet as soon as a breakaway is final they'll all go into cut-throat-mode to try to get rules fitting their team best, ultimately failing because they can't find anything they can agree on...

Quote from james12s :was plannin on going to the race this year but money means we cant but i am gonna do the full 24 on tv, managed 19 hours last year, and im gonna be on the eurosport forums to especially if theve got the up all night club going again

Other than allegedly the Eurosport Player (which you have to pay for), I haven't found anything that broadcasts all 24h... Everybody seem to just make hourly summaries with a longer bit at start/finish...

G25 and LfS, no problems at all under 7 (64 bit) - I'd even say performance is a tad better than under XP...

If you want to find out more about the assigned keys, take a look at the docs\keys.pdf in your LfS-folder...

Quote from theirishnoob :they added nascar ???


Wankers!.

Knowing that the licence went to iRacing from 2010 on, we at least know Polyphony has to release GT5 this year...

Quote from UncleBenny :So did any LFSers make the initial Pro series list?

My oval rating has been improving now that I've gotten a handle on the truck, don't think I'll be anywhere near the top 250 in 2 months though.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :Didn't know the sim-racing enthusiast didn't have enough choice already.......

Yeah, loads of sims out there with the latest Beemers, Porsches, GTRs and so on... Oh, wait - there isn't a single one! :doh:

Just a guess here, but I THINK the only people knowledgeable enough to decide are the devs... And I don't see a red name here...

I can only comment on the CSPs...

In short, throttle and clutch work brilliantly, but the very long throw can't be adjusted as the pot stops working because the magnet isn't right next to it anymore... As for the load cell - I haven't got it in a sufficiently working state all evening - I get an effective travel of just 60 steps... For a few moments it seems to get better, then I have to throw a good bit of my body weight to get it over 20%, and sometimes it stop registering load at all, even when I basically stand on it - as it does right now...

Fanatec is working on a new firmware - I hope that redeems those problems...

Quote from BenjiMC :Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame

Yeah...

You may not have noticed, but the only times there were anything else than static cameras and the odd interview were when the race was broadcasted on DSF, a german sports channel... So the next time you'll see something other than s/f-straight and paddock will be on Sunday from 13:00 to the finish...

Webstream for the ADAC 24h is online... It's only ads at the moment, the real stream should start in a few minutes... I could make out two streams, both seem to be the standard DSL-stream... Anyway, here the URL to both streams (like last year really):

http://wige-iptv.com/cms/livecast/24h/live3-4.asx
http://wige-iptv.com/cms/livecast/24h/live7-8.asx

The live map is also online at http://events001.gps-explorer.de/ More teams than I expected to show, seems a bit slow though and the map itself fails to load...

Might not fit THAT well into here - anyway, a reminder that the ADAC 24h race is on this weekend... And you can watch the whole race live on the internet: http://adac.24h-rennen.de/news ... 24h-live-im-internet.html (news bulletin in german) There will be two streams which will require DSL, the higher quality one even 2 Mbit download capacity... They'll be streaming from Saturday 15:30 to Sunday 16:30...

Additionally, you'll be able to watch where the cars are on the track on a live track map from GPSauge.de: http://adac.24h-rennen.de/news ... auge-auf-der-strecke.html (also in german) It has to be said though that only teams who choose to run the transmitter will be displayed - so it might be pretty scarce...

Quote from mutt107 :lol what a dumbass

Both of them actually... Driving 10/10ths in a full course yellow is mindboggingly stupid... And the other one disrespected the first rule for exiting the pits: don't cross the fecking lines!

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :What the hell have you done to your car?

Slap the stock grill back on, it looks stupid without it.

Nah, it looks... happy!

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :I could list various firearms and vehicular goofs.

Heh, every second film has a weapon firing after you could clearly see the slider is locked back (=no ammo left)... The other half has an unlimited clip-size hack on...

Quote from gezmoor :Simple fact of the matter is that turbo engines have a better torque curve for racing on a lot of circuits.

Fixed that for you...
