I am now considered as free lance, and wish to apply for a team.

I am open minded, quick, comptetitive, and have a sense of humour. I'm partially deaf, so TS or VT will be a little struggle for me.

My specialties are the open wheelers, XFR, FXR.

I hope to apply for a team that competes in Championships, on various cars.

The End <---- race name!


Past Championships/Events:

5th in ATC XFR Blackwood
2nd in LFS GT of Team [ITEK]
10th of DTM (only took part in one race, which was the 2nd to last race, got 2nd place finish)

Quote from MyBoss :The problem is that very many choose to bail out of the race if they have a little accident, or a bad day.

People join the track even though the race is going on.

Those and much more happends on public servers which cause it to be hard to run long races on public.

Yeah, it's annoying when they give up easily, over a little bump or forced wide onto the gravel.

I love doing long stints, because we can use our actual driving experience of pacing and warming up the tyres. Just like in Formula 1 really.

Quote from Vain :A very simple thing to think about everytime before starting to write a reply in any discussion:
Does the reply I intend to write add anything to the discussion?

Will someone say "Oh, I didn't think of that! Thanks!", "Good point, I forgot that!", "Nice find! Thanks!", "My mistake, thanks for correcting it!" or "Thanks for the explanation!"?
If not, save yourself 5 minutes and go back to the forum overview.

Vain

I'll take one of your quotes.

"Thanks for the explaination?" I'll do just that next time , or ignore them after saying sorry.
Where does it stop?

I know that we argue due to someone else's fault on LFS. But when should it stop?

I know for a fact that I argue a tad too much, and I consider that as a flaw. I wouldn't insult though, I'd "debate" about it. But where does the line stop?

Should it stop after we state our views? Or just apologise, forget it, and move on, afterall, there are plenty of more races to come afterwards.

Anyone else feel the same?

Good to see the V8S back in action after being so rarely used, compared to the FOX and BF1.

chu accepts the title is lost
Sunday, 08, October, 2006, 10:17
Michael Schumacher has written off his chances of winning an unprecedented eighth world championship after retiring from the lead of the Japanese Grand Prix.
The Ferrari ace was on course for a victory that would have given him a two-point advantage over Fernando Alonso going into the season finale in Brazil.
But his engine blew up 17 laps from home, handing Alonso the win and an almost unassailable 10-point lead.
Schumacher declared afterwards that his title chances are now over, and said his focus at Interlagos will be to win the constructors’ crown for Ferrari.
“The drivers’ title for me is finished, but we go to Brazil to win the constructors’,” he told reporters at Suzuka.
“Today we all tried hard, we were first but lost the engine.
“That’s Formula 1. I’m not too disappointed. Life and racing is like this.”
Improbable as it may be, Schumacher can still pip Alonso at the post if he were to win in Brazil with the Spaniard failing to finish.
The pair would then be level on points and Schumacher would be champion on the strength of one more win.
But the 37-year-old German, who will bow out of Formula 1 after the Interlagos race, discounted that possibility as too remote to be considered.
Moreover, he said he did not want to rely on his rival’s misfortune to clinch the title.
“This is not really the way I want to go to Brazil – I would like to fight for the championship on the track,” he said.
“I don’t want to believe in me winning and my opponent not scoring one point, or not finishing.
“That is not the basis I want to go into the race with.”
Rather than bemoaning his misfortune, Schumacher hailed Ferrari’s achievement in taking the fight to Alonso and Renault after a poor start to the year.
“We must be very proud of the work we’ve done, because in Canada we were 25 points behind, and neither you or others thought we’d come back – but we did,” he said.
“Now we are here, nine points behind in the constructors’.”

Alonso turns it around in Japan Suzuka exit leaves Schumacher with it all to do at final round
Victory for Fernando Alonso and retirement for Michael Schumacher at Suzuka means just a single point at the season finale in Brazil will make Alonso champion for a second time. For 36 laps of Sunday’s Japanese Grand Prix, Schumacher could see the Renault of Alonso in his mirrors and the 2006 drivers’ crown in his future. From the start he had pulled away from the Spaniard, taking the lead from polesitting Ferrari team mate Felipe Massa on the third lap, and though the Renaults were much more competitive than they had been in qualifying, everything was under control.

But then a plume of smoke erupted from the back of the Ferrari in the second Degner Curve on the 37th lap, and the unthinkable happened as the German’s V8 expired. It was his first non-crash retirement since Spain 2005, and this one really hurt.

As Schumacher trudged back to the pits, where he shook everyone by the hand and wore a philosophical smile, Alonso made the most of his good fortune. He had passed Massa during the first pit stops after the Brazilian stopped three laps earlier than scheduled because of a puncture, and been keeping Schumacher honest and the gap between them around five seconds, when his arch-rival dropped out. Now he was able to stroke his Renault home to his first victory since Canada in June, secure in the knowledge that eighth place in Brazil will be sufficient to retain his crown.

Massa backed off hugely over the final laps - possibly on the advice of his team - but was never challenged for second by Renault’s Giancarlo Fisichella, who had fought through to beat Honda’s Jenson Button, McLaren’s Kimi Raikkonen and the Toyotas through better pit work. Button was a distant fourth, Raikkonen fifth, and Jarno Trulli led team mate Ralf Schumacher home for sixth after a race-long fight.

Behind them, Nick Heidfeld clung on ahead of BMW Sauber team mate Robert Kubica to take the final point, the Pole having caught back up a 10-second deficit after a big off in the second Degner on lap 31.

Nico Rosberg was Williams’ sole finisher in 10th, after Mark Webber crashed heavily exiting the chicane on lap 39, leading home McLaren’s Pedro de la Rosa and Rubens Barrichello, who needed a new nose on his Honda after a brush on the opening lap.

Robert Doornbos emerged from an early scrap between all the Red Bull runners to finish 13th ahead of Tonio Liuzzi, who performed a neat 360-degree spin early on exiting the chicane. Their respective RBR and Toro Rosso team mates David Coulthard and Scott Speed (who also spun) both failed to finish.

The two Super Aguris were 15th and 17th, sandwiching Tiago Monteiro’s Spyker MF1. The other Dutch car of Christijan Albers was in the thick of the Red Bull battle, but retired in spectacular fashion on the 20th lap when a rear suspension breakage removed its rear wing as the Dutchman exited the chicane. He was lucky it happened there.

The Suzuka result was a massive fillip for Alonso and Renault, who increased their lead in the constructors’ championship to nine points. It may not all be over, with one race left, but now it is Schumacher and Ferrari who have the mountain to climb.
