I think the red is supposed to represent speed.. (because of the idea of motion in it and the red colour is also often associated with speed; a red ferrari looks faster then as blue one or something)

Meh.

Quote from ColeusRattus :

That can and will be classified as a racist remark. It's enough that you combine both the "black" and "slow worker" in one sentence. We don't know what exactly dan said, but chnaces are that he did infact imply that, be it intentional or not..

So you can't call someone who's black a slow worker because he is black?

Quote from amp88 :

Maybe he's got a name. Anyway, I would say you were out of order too...referring to someone as "the black guy" is just stupid. Do you call the other repair guy "the white man"?

Well I guess it would depend on context. If there are 10 people out of which 1 is white, then you would, probably.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

No I can't play arco, never got taught, never been asked to do it.

The guy who's selling me that bass though is a teacher and I think I'm going to ask him for some tuition - I'm doing quite a lot of upright playing at the moment and I've heard horror stories of people wrecking their wrists/arms/backs/necks from doing it wrong for too long. So maybe I'll ask him to teach me to bow it too.

What do you play normally? What kind of stuff? Jazz, pop?

Oh that's so cool! Now you can play those 'cool' tunes.. (Like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzShwtQHYms). :P

You have a bow aswell?

Oh and thanks everyone.

Here's some stuff I composed, if anyone's interested.

Pff.. everyone just.. Be happy for him.

I think it's way cool! :P

42.

Quote from scipy :

hahha ur so hularious "sincere commiserations" and shit in the forum, and then a flashing rave party with "24 h of WIN" theme on the website

hypocritical bastards congrats on the w.. luck.

Quote from traxxion :

Despite the above, we can't deny we are still happy with the victory in this big event. Like My3id we have also given our all in this race

.

Ok, I love it! I loved the concept with the quotes and the engine sounds combined with the bass. Very nice. All the ideas and the special effects, sure they could be a bit better here and there but it's done very very well!

Shame it's just too late for the year-end awards. :P

Special edition skin for the 24 hour race. Thanks to Mogster for the renders.

They come with a little teaser..

Quote from Becky Rose :

oh you are right 21 Grams is by someone else, I don't know where I got that from. Maybe I just assumed that because it was so shit, "Crickey this is aweful, is it a Guy Ritchie film?" etc etc...

I havn't seen Snatch.

Pff, 21 Grams is just a great film from a great director.

Compared to Alonso, he is.

IMO.

We'll see... Said the Zen master.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

Well, the default setups aren't great and nobody's really made any F3 setups so far for 1.1 so it's kinda a crap shoot. The F2000 is a lot better to drive as of now as it's more common so there's setups made.

Attached is the setup that I like most for Donington. It's modded from Stu's Prato setup, but it drives really well and it's pretty stable. Extract to "My Documents/NetKar Pro/Setups/Formula2000"

Just tweak it then. :P

Here's one I made for the Aosta Sport Intermediate. I did 1:10.050 with it, but I'm sure it will be able to do 1:09.5 or so. It seems like a soft suspension really helps, it got me a second off my original time.

I'll try the Donington one, thanks! I did a 1:29 so far, although my set seems ok, it's like I'm still losing a lot of time...

Quote from TiJay :

Totally untrue that the 595s are lacking in bass - it's just not bloated or overly boomy.

To me it sounded a bit sloppy.. Or, muddy, when I tried it. I don't know what it is, I always have that idea with Sennheiser headphones.

Quote from Mattesa :

So have we all tried the F1600 at Aosta yet?

OMG it's a blast! With all the swooping medium speed momentum corners, camber changes, and bumpiness the car wants to be sideways everywhere. Everywhere. Off-throttle cornering = death! Keep your foot in it to keep it balanced. Go for some nice drifts through the double apexes.

Well, I tried the F3... That's just insane! It's so bumpy, and that makes it so challenging, out of every corner.. Waaaaa. Also, the shadows of the trees make it feel so real, with the stoboscope lightning. :P

Quote from hazaky :

Sennheiser 595 has lower bass response wich is always better (12Hz) but basically with headphones your good with lowest bass response of 20Hz for example, most explosion sounds in games movies have lowest of 20Hz or above frequency. That already tells us that 595 must have better speakers in it wich. A correct speaker can play all frequencys at the same time with no problems - so it means that it has better quality speakers in it. The same thing with the higher frequency response. Both have sensitivy of 112dB wich makes them even. The more dB it has, means that the less power is needed to feed the set. But, lower dB means cleaner voice and bass. Cant really tell more because it seems like there are only few sites who show the full specs of the both headphones. My recommendation is the Sennheiser 595 because of the lower and higher frequency response. And also, an average person wont tell the difference between them actually so if youre really into high quality sound then 595 is better i guess. For me, the question is just about wich design u like the best. Both are awesome.

Well, I don't think you'll hear that much of a difference in the low frequencies. You can't hear anything under 20 Hz anyway.

Just going after what you know about the technical side of the headphone is cute, but if you really want to buy one... I'd be sure to test them out in the store. In any decent store you can.

I tested both, when I wanted to buy a new headphone and the difference was very small. Yes there's a difference, but how far do you want to go? After all, the difference was 100 euro's or so.

I went for a Beyerdynamic DT880. I think, with these prices, it depends a lot on taste, or the sound you're looking for.

Quote from Bluebird B B :

Just find as many sources as possible with actual measurements and try to figure out what kind of car they are driving. For example 900-1000kg lmp cars are pulling 4.5g' s in fast corners, which makes the 4.5g maximum of the bf1 in lfs rather look ok.

Well.. Although this turn is cambered, the BF1 still does over 6 G. That's just too much. In other fast turns it easily does over 5 G.

Very well.

Still, 6 fair championships, not bad!

Tsk, take it easy man. No, I'm not a Schumacher fanboy.

But to get the facts straight: when I look at the video, Schumacher ends up in the tyres and Hill can continue?

Quote from Lotesdelere :

You obviously haven't even watched at the videos.

The first 'incident' is at Adelaide 1994. At the time I thought he was only a mad dog.

Second one is at Jerez 1997. There are two videos about this one because of different angles of camera and also because this is the exact day when I was convinced that even though he's surely a great driver he's also a complete as***le. In the second video you can see how much hate there is on Herr Arschloch's face when he's waiting on the side of the track.

Third 'incident' is at Melbourne 2005.

Fourth one is showing a small 'best of' Herr Arschloch (years of online gaming have taught me some usefull German words) deliberately pushing other drivers off track then he's trying to give an explanation and to defend himself. At least I gave him that.

Fifth one is the famous Monaco 2006 'incident'. It was so obvious that he did that on purpose that he got a penalty for that and started at the back of the grid IIRC.

Well, he was pretty much punished for all of these things, he was taken out or penalized. In all his years of driving, he wasn't the fairest person of the field, but if this is all you can think off.. He might have not been so bad at all. For example Coulthard has done a lot of stupid actions aswell. Every driver has. I admit, maybe he was a dick. But he won those championships not by cheating but by driving..

Meh. LFS gets even less fun now with all this stupid bashing.

Nice, Quack, I mean Duck! Grats.

And maybe google for VundaFix.
