Remind me not to invite your to our xmas party

I question why somebody is trying to look so deeply into something that is, without a shadow of a doubt, a wind up post.

Also, yes i did copy paste from another forum, but i think it's worth the giggles I'm unsure wether it's true or false, but meh

In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University ..

On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully.
He got down on one knee, inspected the elephants foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot. The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away. Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.

Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter could not help wondering if this was the same elephant. Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing, and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.



Probably wasn't the same elephant.

Quote from ajp71 :

An overweight automatic muscle car is probably going to be far less tempting or enjoyable to drive fast in and as a net result will probably be much less likely to be wrapped around a tree than a small hatchback.

I seriously doubt that statement. Anybody can and will speed in any kind of car, be it a powerful v8 muscle car or a 1.0 vauxhall nova. At the end of the day it is down to the individual to drive responsibly and with due care and attention, but also to abide by road traffic laws.

And all this was before the Hungary incident, where Alonso and Ron explained to the FIA what happened and Hamilton came after and told otherwise, yet the FIA decided to put a penalty on Alonso. Bullshit.

Stewards enquiries often take the words of the drivers invloved and make there judgement from that, so no, not really bullshit

some really heavy crashes in this one

500PS it says on the right, so that's not far off 500 bhp ain't it?

Sounds incredible

2.38MB/s here constant.

I haven't seen anything by codemasters stating it's a sim. . .

no skidmarks??

Are they going to release a demo?

Quote from Riders Motion :

So tell me guys - should I spend the night downloading the demo or not? I'm only in for the drifting mode anyways, I like the cars and the damage physics. As long as the drifting isn't as bad as NFS:PS, I think I'll download it.

The drifting part of the demo, imo, is pretty freaking good tbh. Dunno about realistic physics but it's very enjoyable and the replays look sick

Quote :

Codemasters Studios has already begun preparations for the major task of creating the new game, by strengthening their team with personnel from the now defunct Sega Racing Studio.

This could be a good thing though, as sega racing titles usually drive more realistically than say race drivers or colin mcrae's of the not to distant past.

If the game handles like the racing part of this new race driver grid demo, it'll be crap :|

drift mode is pretty good, normal racing is crap

get a cheaper one, looks just as good

Quote from Takumi_lfs :

How does the cockpit of the cars look?

Any screenshots?

No cockpit view, there's an interior view when your in the back of a taxi. Closest thing to cockpit view is when you drive yourself and use bonnet cam
