Quote from bunder9999 :did you just connect to it, and did you let people pass the split markers, or the start/finish line?

No we made sure we closed it and re-opened it just before the leader got to the s/f. :dunce:

Quote from Kristi :Lap/Timecode/Session: 2:21, lap 86 after T1
Cars involved: 36; 05
Brief description of incident: #05 goes off to the grass and then carelessly returns to the track taking #36 out and causing heavy damage.

SG #05 - leaves the track after contact with #23, and continues to keep the throttle planted before finally spinning across the track into #36 as he tries to rejoin.

Quote from IsaacPrice :Lap/Timecode/Session: lap 53, last corner before end of sector 1.
Cars involved: 36; 08
Brief description of incident: Martin Seppam decides blue flags don't apply to him.

#36 is given a warning for not yielding when a properly presented overtaking manoeuvre was presented (though #08 did turn in assuming he wasn't there).

Quote from _coca-cola_ :Lap/Timecode/Session: lap 45, t1
Cars involved: #09, #05
Brief description of incident: #09 crashes into #05

DT #09 for an avoidable incident, brakes too late into turn 1, runs #05 off the road and into a spin.

Indeed, you could've drove the QE2 into the gap that Maldonado left at the bus stop, Hamilton is going for Q3 so goes for the tight apex, Maladonado doesn't like it but it's too late Pastor son - remember, those Williams were already held up by the Lotus so he was hardly going to improve on his time. Pastor was eventually 16th, only 4 tenths behind Sutil but miles behind 15th - wasn't Lewis in the drop zone at that point? Would need to watch it again.

Quote from Funnybear :Feel free to live your life on your own, pay only for which you want to pay for. But could you stop spending my money, like, don't drive on the roads, don't go use the GP, don't send your kids to a state school (Or a subsidised private one for that matter), don't look at the flowerbeds, don't take advantage of your local park, don't use the footpaths, the buses or the trains, stay of the motorways, don't go to museams, leave the internet alone, oh and leave the country too please. Ta.

Sure thing, but only if you do the same, right?

Quote from col :It's no surprise though to see you spouting emotive phrases like "free society" in your defense. What a load of manipulative marketing bull that is. The more power you take from government and institutions like the BBC who are answerable to us, and give it to the likes of Murdoch, the less free it gets (it's never been very free, and is steadily becoming less so). The phrase itself "free society" is an oxymoron anyway.

The more power you take from government ... the more free it gets is the phrase you are looking for I think. Giving people more power can only help give them freedom, to choose what they do, e.g. with their money. We have a choice of whether we give any money to Murdoch, we don't have a choice of whether we give it to subsidise Sky's F1 coverage, nor do we have a choice of paying the BBC. Closing down Sky/NewsCorp is easy - don't buy, read or watch anything from them!

Anyway, let's play a little game. According to Radio Le Mans, BBC get the pick of 3 races, then Sky with 3, and back to Sky 1 then BBC 1. Assuming a 20 race season with the 2012 calendar (dunno which version :shrug, what races will be shown by which broadcaster?

BBC - Monaco, Silverstone and Interlagos
Sky - Canada, USA and ?

Do continue

Quote from Ball Bearing Turbo :Why the hell can't they just let a car be downloaded but only used if it shows that it's been purchased - using their current online authentication?

The only thing stopping you from using content that you have on your computer, say from someone else's account, is the website - it should be quite simple, either create a MC licence for $1 or something, or just do "if(car_not_bought){open sim, but don't allow you to drive that car;}"

On a unrelated note: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVkjjJzmDKk

As for their forum, it's the biggest pile of shite ever. Apparently every time they edit a staff post, all of the staff posts then appear on the recent posts page... not to mention is shite search function, lack of moderation and general idiots in there.

Quote from Drifters Only :What a crappy rule is that!

He's American and used to crappy rules. Not only is having 1 car scoring instead of 2 a disadvantage, you then get a secondary kick in the bollocks by not having your other car score.

Quote from UncleBenny :I don't understand how they don't realize that they don't need to throw cautions every time a tiny piece of debris is on the track. Even before the caution that set up the green-white-checkered, it was going to be a great last couple laps watching Ambrose run down Busch.

It really is just a cultural thing, a lot of the things are different in America compared to running on tracks in the rest of the world. From marshalling, flags in NASCAR, rescue/safety vehicles, snatch vehicles, drivers attitudes when their car is ****ed, closing pits, double file restarts, etc.

I mean in the rest of the world, if you run out of fuel, you pull off to the side and park it in as safe a place as you can, and the marshals will usually push you to safety. If your car is damaged, possibly leaking fluid and then on fire, you don't try and get back to the pits.

Remember what the SC is for - to deal with an incident that would be too dangerous to cope with while the track wasn't neutralised. Americans, perhaps with health & safety, don't seem to like dealing with things on a live track compared to others around the world. Maybe drivers don't obey local yellows(/blues...) enough? Look at the Nurburgring 24 hour race - they don't have a SC, only local yellows to deal with incidents like this, this, and this - you'd better obey or you'll be docked a lap! (2nd one from a driver's view)

Plus generally the recovery of cars are different - I can't ever imagine American marshals doing this with an Indycar! Nor do I really recall them doing live snatches with a tractor-style vehicle/JCB to get cars out of the gravel - which is strange because at some tracks they seem to have a lot of that, or for example at Road America, they seem to think it's a great idea to run a few 60mph caution laps around a 4 mile track when 1 corner under local yellows and a tractor/pickup under double waved yellows would be a better option

Maybe a lot of the tracks are built to rely on the teams in vehicles more than corner workers - perhaps a remnant from the oval side. Anyway, rant over

Quote from AstroBoy :I wish i could make that damn top split But im stuck fighting it out with questionable drivers.

Need to get 3000 iRating for that Only one way to do it - run more races and finish decently (top half) - seriously, with only 30 odd starts, unless you're Simon Cattell's second account you need to run a lot more races to get anywhere close to 3k.

Quote from atledreier :Cancelled my sub today. Don't drive it enough to justify the cost.
