Quote from ATC Quicksilver :The GP has always been tin tops, XFG or XFR/UFR

Although i would welcome an open wheeler gp with the fox or fo8, maybe a side race or something.

I'd love to attend an ATC GP of V8

Quote from Tukko :anything else than XFR illepall

LX6 @ AS Club is great fun

That sounds challenging.

What about the V8 and Aston Club?

I don't mind the XFR for Aston Club, that'd be a good race.

No Japanese qualifying on ITV either

ITV have delivered another blow to Formula One fans hoping to watch the thrilling denouement of this year’s championship live.The broadcaster will not show the qualifying session for the Japanese Grand Prix live.
They are also refusing to show the same session for the Chinese Grand Prix live.
As ever the only recourse for F1 fans is to complain directly to ITV. They do at least appear to be acknowledging such complaints, so it is definitely worth contacting them via [email protected] to register your disapproval. You never know, they might just find a way to squeeze it onto some digital channel or something, if nothing else.

Quote from kidzer :Hmmm rather atrocious driving there!


Knockhill is an awesome circuit to drive round with a decent driver though!

I've been round twice in the 2 seater single seater (yes, a wonderful oxymoron!), once with Ryan driving, and the other with Alan Kircaldy, it was awesome!

Nice one, which single seater was it?

ITV drop live qualifying again

With just three crucial qualifying sessions and three vital races left in 2006, British viewers won’t get to see at least one of them, thanks to ITV.
Even though the qualifying session at Shanghai in China will be taking place very early in the morning in British time, ITV are not showing it live.
The company runs the terrestrial ITV1 and digital ITV2 and ITV3 channels (ITV4 not being on air during the qualifying), but apparently cannot find room in their schedules for this vital part of the championship.
Yet again, ITV are treating British F1 fans with total contempt.

----------------



ITV will not be showing the qualifying session for this weekend’s Malaysian Grand Prix live on terrestrial television, despite the action taking place early in the morning in Britain. The qualifying session will be screened from 5.30am-7.15am, but only on the digital channel ITV3. ITV1 will carry a tape-delayed replay of qualifying at 1.10pm, and the live race at 6am on Sunday.
On Saturday morning ITV1 will instead show “ITV Early Morning News” and children’s TV programmes, “Boobah”, “Pocoyo”, “Fun Song Factory”, “Jo Jo’s Circus” and “Dora the Explorer.” Bernie Ecclestone was not available for comment on whether he approves of his multi-billion dollar sport being pre-empted for toddler television.

Quote from JohnPenn :Not been to Knockhill for years good to see the track again.
I can put LFS names to some of those drivers

Ohh no!!... oversteer!....Over compensate spin and crash!, repeat this every time you approach this corner, if you get frustrated, blaming another driver adding swearing and hand gestures will help untill you see your shrink in the morning.


John

It's changed over the years, smoother surface, especially the go kart track, thats improved a lot!

I can't wait to get my hands on the Single Seater in 2 weeks

Quote from birder :I see some of the LFS Demo driver are doing Trackdays illepall

That's hot hatch day, I ought to make a day out of that.

Thanks for the clip mate. I'll be driving in a Formula Seater car on that track in no less than 2 weeks. Gives me a good view of how the corners are taken, and how fast its done in

Doesn't suprise me how cocky they are in taking the corners and overtaking.

Touche. Not having played the game full time myself, I take it that the game lacks physics compared to LFS?

Quote from Speed Soro :I want more tracks. Simples as that.

6 tracks is not enough. We have got championships here, with always the same 6 tracks...

I don't think there are something wrong with any corner. Straight, brake, curve is what any track is. Except of course the boring ovals.

Each curve, each corner, you do how you can, so, if must to reduce your speed, just do it. There are nothing wrong. The tracks are waht they are.

What we need is more variation, more tracks we different look, different chalenge.

We don't need a new Fern Bay or a new Black wood, but new tracks.

And ok, it must not be easy to do, but it is not impossible.

And why not open the track modeling to a selected team of colaborators?

I'm here not criticizing nobody, but just asking, WHY NOT MORE TRACKS?

One word: rFactor

Quote from tristancliffe :You've only just got into S2, so I don't think you're ready to 'take it to the next step'.

You can do events without being in a team.

The new car being the Sauber? Can you REALLY drive it?

Rookie. Nuff said. Until you're practiced and quick I'm afraid that teams like T7R and vMax won't be looking at you just yet (but thanks for the PMs asking). Get some practice, get yourself in lots of cars on lots of tracks, and get those times down. When you can get in a car and drive it within, say, 3 seconds of most WR's within, say, 15 laps you'll be ready!

You really, honestly, don't need a team. Thisnameistaken is one of the friendliest and fastest people I know, and he's not in a team, yet he does okay in the grand scheme of things. Just drive!

Agreed, not even close of taking it to the next step yet.

That is great news

“In the wee small hours [late on Thursday night] Richard Hammond suddenly sat up in bed, opened his eyes and asked what had happened,” Clarkson said. He had replied: “You’ve been in a car accident.” Hammond asked whether he had been driving stupidly “before getting out of bed and walking, shakily, to the lavatory”, Clarkson writes in today’s Sun.

What a relief!

I started to notice this myself, and it's become more common for the moment on my DFP.

When on a straight, on any car, I notice that the wheel is slightly turned, telling itself as it is infact straight, and because of it, it acts like that the whole race.. Does anyone have this problem? Is there a way to solve it to stop that from happening? I tried reinstalling the drivers, no change whatsoever, the wheel would act squint by inches on LFS.

Problem fixed.
