+1 for RAC

I think the Mclaren has been the best looking car in F1 for a few years now by miles.

I vote for an S1/S2 only private forum.

Named after me.. Built for me..

"Differential - There are several different types of differential. Locked, open, clutch pack LSD, viscous LSD
Locked differential - Both wheels rotate at the same speed in all situations. In general this gives 100% power to the road, with the drawbacks of corner entry (lift off) understeer, and corner exit (power on) oversteer.
Open differential - Each wheel is free to rotate independently. In general this gives corner entry oversteer, and corner exit understeer.
Clutch pack LSD - The power setting controls how much locking percentage is applied when power is being transmitted from the engine. The coast setting controls how much locking percentage is applied when the engine is producing a braking effect. The preload specifies the minimum torque difference between the two wheels required for them to rotate independently. A setting such as 800 Nm therefore results in the differential behaving like a locked differential in most situations.
Viscous LSD - The higher the setting, the stronger the relationship is between the two driven wheels."

Was indeed very good fun again.

Quote from Bawbag :

I just ask that someone fraps there 1.36 time to see where I can make my 8 seconds.

You guys clearly must be taking the wrong routes, or using the other cars rather than the standard liana.

Seriously, what the hell. You don't need to turn the wheel half as much as that to take corners in the LX6. You have no argument.

Here is a proper lap: 1:19.620

Physics are crap lol. It's as if you get to a certain level of sliding, and someone presses a spin button, to which no countersteering does anything to help.

But fun. I did a 1:47.1 with the keyboard.

Who we have just persuaded to join clownpaint.

Ouch, sorry, couldn't resist. Joking. Good luck for the future with Adaptive, Astroboy.

Which matches the BF1, so I see no issue..

Edit: Schumachers steering did NOT break, that parking manouver was a deliberate attempt at destroying Alonso's lap.

I've had a thought for the final round...

Wouldn't it be better to have like a sudden death format? I.e. the first person to lose from starting in first position loses the final. And if this carries on to say 5 races, add up the times, and the lowest overall time wins?

Edit: Doh! Ignore this, I just read about the new format in the first post.

What happened here??

I think there have been some misunderstandings, most of the posts I've seen were tongue in cheek. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion here...

I think you've had a sense of humour failure JTbo. So what if someone disagrees? You don't have to have sulk about it. Me AND Blackout love racing on your server, it's a good laugh. Why should that stop over a trivial disagreement / misunderstanding?

Quote from JeffR :

Caterham was sold back in 2006. I was referring more to the open wheelers, but here's a video of a Caterham in action, not mine, and by some apparent miracle, or more likely, due to the fact it's the real world, he power shifts and the clutch isn't overheating.

and a formula 1 car (for steering example):

I'm sorry but what the hell are you arguing about?

1. He is not powershifting at all, but lifting fully off the throttle between gearshifts.

2. You really think that an F1 car will reach full lock at Monza!?

See this onboard at Monaco instead. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v ... 13vT0&feature=related (Hehe, BAD Schumacher)

Me too again please.

The XRR and FZR however are very well balanced now in endurance races. The XRR uses less fuel, and is slightly easier on the tyres than the FZR. The FZR now must use R3's to last a reasonable number of laps, which slows the car down obviously in the corners.

Sorry

Happy Xmas

Muse rule... but this is an extremely pointless thread...

Makes sense to clear them all, as like you say Victor, the cars / blackwood are now slower.

Great patch devs. Happy Xmas!

This must be kept at the top of the "new posts" list.. but I fear it's too late for Y?

I would like setup options to be seriously more limited, especially in road cars, but getting rid of the locked diff is pointless, as you can adjust a clutch pack with massive preload to behave just like a locked diff.
