Granted if you have more "talent", you can get better quicker, but "less-talented" people can still get there, it just may take longer and more effort. But the golfers you talk about will never get better because they think they won't / can't get any better. Put it this way, I've never thought to myself, "I can't do that" unless it was physically impossible for me to do so.
Edit: In the AutoX competition, after the first few days I couldn't get under 1:06.11 after many many laps. I rethought a day or so later, looked at how I could improve, and shaved another 2 seconds off. I'm no god, but neither is anyone else, which is why 20 odd people are quicker than me at the moment.

Leprekaun actually makes a good point. Talent is overrated IMO.
I disagree with him when he says ANYONE can be the best, but if you go around thinking that you will never beat "so and so" because they are simply better than you, that won't get you anywhere.
There is no driver who is the best and doesn't believe he/she could be. "Aliens" are only human just like you or me, and to beat them, you must believe that you can beat them.
As for everyone hits there own limit, that's wrong. If they think they can't go faster than they probably won't. However if they believe they still can, and look at what they are doing wrong etc, then they will go quicker. Of course it all takes practice and determination though.

Doesn't D stand for Duo? In which case he already has a dual core processor.

Erm, Hamilton had everything to unlearn from a GP2 car, which is quite significantly different. I really don't understand your hate of both Hamilton AND Alonso.
+ 1 from me for the cockpit only view. I believe wheels only gives an unfair advantage.
HOWEVER, like others have said, the camera position needs some flexibility, I move it forward slightly so I can see more of the road from the windscreen.

Awesome qualifying! Couldn't believe how Kimi beat Alonso with that error on the last corner. Then Hamilton comes and destroys everyone! I have a feeling he is lightest on fuel though.
You've got the wrong end of the stick. :P
Edit: Unless you did mean the rFactor devs, I'm not sure, anyway if you do, well they have provided a good base for modders to work from, but they are still making money off other peoples effort (the rFactor devs). I always remember one of the rFactor devs say something like "you can only drift a car with an appropriate setup" which is just not true..

No, it shifted his body to the right, so his head missed the steering wheel, and therefore didn't stop until his skull cracked where the neck joins. He chose not to use the hans device, and payed the price. Why the hell anyone would choose not to use a safety device designed to reduce the risk of death is totally beyond me.
Which means they can't be bothered to put in their own effort to make decent cars / tracks / sounds, when it is possible to do so.
It shows how utterly useless the devs are... (the rFactor ones Scawen :razz
What's wrong with you guys? The nature and way the post was written made the picture quite funny. 
Precisely, notice how on the onboard of Alonso, he keeps to the inside longer than normal, until Heildfeld disappears, to which he then moves across to the other apex for a good exit..
OH Yeees they look identical!!
I have never been more sarcastic in my life.

Why should the topic be closed? TBH I have found this thread to be a great read, and the insults have been rather amusing, and certainly not what I'd call personal or offensive.
You really don't like Alonso eh?
What if Alonso saw Heidfeld take to the escape road, and therefore decided there was no need to give any room for him?
Not sure if Heidfeld has to stop again though unlike Alonso...
Edit: Seems like they aren't stopping again...
Oh LOL James Allen "with the Ferrari's having a large 1/2 a second lead over Hamilton..." the guy hasn't got a clue.

OMG I wasn't expecting an overtake there!! 
choxaway:
Take a look at this replay of hannu's world record hotlap at Blackwood. Save it into lfs directory/data/spr, then load up LFS, load the replay and watch it from the in car camera.
Notice the cornering speeds which can be achieved with good balancing of the car with countersteering and smooth throttle usage. Now replicate it yourself.
Seriously though, it takes A LOT OF PRACTICE to be that fast, but it is doable, just keep at it.

I left foot brake in LFS all the time, and I was shocked to find out that Rubens Barrichello is a right foot braker.. I don't really see how braking with the left foot can be all that difficult, I brake in a real car with my right foot, so I can operate the clutch obviously.
I do, however find heel / toe braking very difficult to get right consistantly.

Feels fantastic.. But I don't know if it's just rFactor in general but all the cars, this car less so but still, have a horrible snapping tendancy when the weight shifts from once side to the other...
But great fun all the same, and with 900 degrees + G25 + realfeel plugin = a lot of fun.
