Why is this even a debate? It's completely and utterly retarded that some people might even consider anything other than the blue string.
LFS Viewer has all cars available for everyone to make skins for.
You little git!
Well here's a 6:02.03 I did the other day anyway.
Not if the car behind has overlap on you though...
Edit: +1 to sinbad, personally I think Webber should have gotten a drive through for his defending against Raikkonen. The FIA / stewards are a joke when it comes to penalty consistancy. Yes defend, but do it well in advance of the driver behind getting too near, otherwise you can't move like he did. Similarly Barrichello left his defending too late and not by enough against Hamilton which I believe is how the puncture occured. Button had an awesome race though, kudos to him.

In a car which as Jack says is setup to get sideways, the "feinting method" should be all which is needed. I would say if the driver has such poor car control that he can't "initiate" the drift without flicking the car about a bit then he ain't got a hope in hell of maintaining some power on oversteer which is what it's all about. No need for canned "initiation techniques" here. That last run looked pretty awesome and fun Jack, good job.
So what if they announced it a while ago? It has still only just come into action, giving us a saving from now on compared to the old prices.
It's about friggin time they lowered the prices, I'm glad I held off buying lots of content before now. Great news.
Much more time out there still, but here's a 6:04.23. 'Tis a fun layout aoun, happy b'day for yesterday!
But the fact is your eyes are ~10 cm apart, so if you increase that distance, you are screwing with the amount of "perspective" your eyes would see in the real world...
Edit: iFast also brings up a very good point why your images aren't working that well.
Edit2: Had a somewhat crude go myself, see attachment.

It's easy once you get the hang of it. 
The "prize" was very nice, oh and the screenies were cool too, although I think people are struggling to focus because the two viewpoints are closer to 30 cm apart rather than the 10(?) or so cm that they should be.

The sad thing is most people probably didn't even notice / care. WTF.
It would be nice if current music was easily available in a "special high dynamic range" format (i.e. not compressed or otherwise ****ed with) for those who appriciate it, alongside the loud versions for the majority who don't care.
Why is this race so long? Belgium only has 45 (?) laps, and that has a shorter laptime....
Stay in Halls for your first year, then find a nearby house to rent with friends for the following years.
I was pleasantly suprised how easy it was to make new friends and become much more independant through Halls.

Yup. It's quite bizarre, because I have no problem whatsoever pushing the Lotus to and past it's limit. In the Mazda I can get away with the most ludicrous of corrections at times, and other times a tiny balancing correction is met with instadeath. I reckon I have a WTF moment one in every 5-10 laps in it. Not good. So I think I'm done with it.
My favorite cars for now are definately the Skippy, Lotus, and now the Jetta as well. In LFS I tend to prefer the faster more challenging cars, simply due to how much more rewarding they are, but in iRacing the Jetta is so much fun in that pushing over the limit is very low risk compared to the Mazda. I've bought Sebring now, driven 10 laps or so so far, pretty good fun.
I think its more a case of the tyre squeal sounds are too high, like in all cars IMO.
After having another shocker in the Mazda, (god that car just brings up all of iRacing's flaws, I'd like it to go burn in hell for eternity please) I decided to use $15 of my remaining $25 credits to get the Jetta. Man. So much more fun. I've only done a few laps at Laguna, but it's nice to be able to push a car without it snapping away from you before you have a chance to see what happened. In fact I might get Sebring for next week...
Neither do I, but only above 130 fps. Below that and things begin to get laggy. In LFS you get no lag with as low as 50 fps. (And no I don't mean capping the fps, I mean true fps.)
Heh. I actually always have the ingame steering wheel turned off for those exact reasons. I turned it on because the steering suddenly felt less connected to the front wheels after I turned on lots of AA, and I wanted to see if it was due to steering lag. So I only have it on for testing for input lag.
I don't think the lag is just visual though.
Just had a quick go with the new beta. Still not quite sure what to make of it. Seems like an improvement physically over 1.03, and the sound is definately much better than before.
Several issues though; the tyre squeal is very nice, and pretty convincing, but way over the top. You only have to push the car to within 50% of the limit before the tyres start screaming at you. From my experience you have to push a tyre pretty damn hard before it starts making so much noise. It would be nice to have a subtle scrubbing noise when you aren't pushing too hard. I'm also pretty certain that the front tyres aren't producing any tyre squeal whatsoever either. If you induce lots of full lock understeer, no noise, and even if you lock the fronts up, no noise..
The rumble strips are also extremely loud, and I'm getting no external engine sound when the car is not within a few metres of the camera.
Finally, why is it that LFS is the only sim which doesn't require 100+ fps to get managably low steering lag? I tried applying lots of AA, and my fps dropped to 80, but the steering lag was seriously poor at that framerate. I found it needed to be over 140 fps before there was no noticable input lag.
P.S. This is only what I've noticed with the F1600, as I only have the demo.

Good job he had a hangover and couldn't start for us then!
Voted, good luck dude.
