Sorry I couldn't make it to watch, was it a success? Did the day go well? 
This is still a pretty good deal too: http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?NOV-950P5
"You'll have so much crap on this tape.."
Haha, legend
But yeah, like Ray says good look to the drivers going to Rockingham tomorrow. I'm sure you'll have an awesome time as well.

Will we ever have a race where the top 8 isn't reversed??

Scroll down to whatever you need. I'm not sure if you intented to be that vague though with your question.

The simple fact of the matter is this: LFS is not real life, and not all the same rules apply. However, the same principle applies; drive as fast as you can within the limits of the environment you are within, regardless of how "realistic" that may be.
But despite this fact, I will point out a few things. a) "Cutting" the chicane gains the tiniest of advantage (less than 0.05 seconds), and since you can get away with it in LFS, people do it. If I could get away with it IRL I'd do it, since a racing driver is always looking for ways to go faster and faster. b) Low 1:12's are still achievable without cutting the chicane.
Check out the following replay's of v1rg0 (Jack) and myself:

In these hotlaps the chicane cutting is minimal to the extent that it would probably be sensible enough in real life, and yet the laptimes are still very quick.
I hear this so called "unrealistic" tag quite often, and sometimes I feel it's an excuse.

Hell yes. Wish I could say something more useful though.

Yeah you'd be right, but I was a little off topic there and was referring to everyday road users.
I think they should make the advanced driving test's manditory if anything (skid pan etc). The majority of drivers on the road today have no idea how a car reacts over the limit, and how to control it.
Either way, Felipe Massa DID NOT deserve to win yesterdays race.
What did Mr Allen make of Hamilton's penalty on the highlight's show?
Are you going to post your view then?
Goldkit.com !!!!!!
GAH, advert on speed channel just as rain starts....
Looks like there will be a battle regardless, Hamilton getting close. BTW, ROFL at the american adverts.
+1 The itv stream sucks.
Was just browsing through some of the spa youtube vids, and I came across this: Epic lap, even more epic engine sound
Edit: Thanks for the Hamilton onboard JB, good quality, and audio which is actually in sync.

Yes you really should keep your mouth shut, since that's the only fact you've made in your little argument.
T1 DOES require a wide entry to get around flatout, I held my line, you let me through, then rejoined the racing line which was now occupied by me. In order for the driver behind to pass, the driver infront must lift his foot from the pedal on the right, which you decided not to do.
How was I "extremely slow on the brakes into the next corner" when I broke even later than you did? Need to watch the replay? Please do. Incidently, yes my car was damaged badly from the crash YOU just caused.
It's also interesting to see you've admitted that running me into the wall on the exit of the following corner was your act of revenge on me though.
DeadWolfBones is one of the fairest guys I've ever spoken to, and decisions have gone against me, when I was in the wrong (we all make mistakes, no one is "inferior" here), and for when I was in the right, like yesterday.
I believe I just raced Kev, from here, but I didn't realise until after the race. At least someone called Kevin was moaning about how other drivers were faster etc.
Anyway, it was a pretty fun and intense race for me, in the rookie solstice at laguna. I'd qualified on pole with a new pb of 1:47.960, so I thought the race would be relatively non hard work. However, and this isn't the first time this has happened, I left my gridbox as the lights went red,
meaning I had to take a stop-go. This meant I was dropped to the back obviously. I was determined to keep a top 5 record going, so I pushed like hell, had some great battles, two tiny contacts with other drivers although they didn't give me incident points, and ended up 3rd in the end.
Edit: Kev, if you are struggling for speed, I find the solstice likes to be thrown around a lot. Also, trail braking is much more rewarding in iRacing I find than in LFS, as it helps get the rear of the car sliding in. The solstice likes being driven slightly sideways on full throttle, not too much though as you lose speed.
Edit 2: It's not Kev from here after all, "Club: Mid-Atlantic US Club".

Since I had $10 iRacing dollars left, I went and bought the radical (only cost £2.50 
). Wow what an epic machine. It needs some fiddling with the setup to get rid of the understeer, but the sound and immersion you get with it is awesome. It's a twitchy bastard though.

Allen is such a berk its cringe worthy. "5 G's of braking force on the drivers head and chest, pushing them back into the seat" 
That's because the car in Niel's video is physically completely different in every way, i.e. he rewrote the physics model for it. The modder's won't let him release the new physics though.
