3 already?

Is it a manual transmission or a sequential? (FBM/Shifter kart style) And how many gears?

Quote from samjh :

It looks like an extremely competitive and unpredictable season so far. Three races with three different winners and seven different drivers on podium!

Last year Hamilton only had to worry about Alonso and the two Ferraris. This year he has to worry about the BMWs too, and perhaps the occasional Williams, Toyota, Red Bull, or even *gasp*... Renault (with Alonso in it, not Piquet).

And check out the points standings now:

01 Kimi Räikkönen 19
02 Nick Heidfeld 16
03 Lewis Hamilton 14
04 Robert Kubica 14
05 Heikki Kovalainen 14
06 Felipe Massa 10
07 Jarno Trulli 8
08 Nico Rosberg 7

Three drivers with 14 points each?! Heidfeld hasn't won a race yet but still coming 2nd. Kimi is awfully fast! Massa is still dangerous.

Not to mention BMW Sauber leading the constructor's championship! *faints*

If he does his job right I doubt he has to worry about toyota's, red bull's or renault's. If he keeps going like bahrain's race... we'll yes. But that is not probable.

Quote from mythdat :

Bit more interesting race this time, mainly thanks to BMW's impressive pace

ITV and Hamilton share the golden arse award - ITV for choosing to go to an ad break rather than show the press conference, and Hamilton for cocking up the start, driving into the back of Alonso and then making gestures at anyone who "dared" to try to race him... a true backmarker monkey drive today

+1

They have a clutch paddle under the gearshift paddles.

From the replay you can see that the mclaren exits the corner MUCH faster and Alonso takes a different line. When Alonso goes into the good line Hamilton just eats him while trying to pass.

Why would Alonso brake in the middle of a straight to make Hamilton crash and spoil his own race? (Alonso's race)

I love how you guys 'think'.


If that can be called thinking.

Porsche 917/30 (Can-Am)

Because it's so outrageously badass. Numbers speaks for itself: twin-turbocharged 5.4L flat 12 @ 1100 bhp (reportedly 1560 in qualifying trim) and very advanced aerodynamics for that time thanks to "no limits, anything goes" rules of Can-Am. Puts the original 917 into shame.




Porsche 996 GT1 EVO 98

I guess nothing special otherwise about this car but the looks makes it extraordinary. Not many race cars have so smooth curves than this one and this EVO 98 wasn't based on production model (unlike the previous 1996-1997 version). It managed to win Le Mans in 1998 when other cars failed to finish. Also well known for doing the famous backward flip in Road Atlanta in 1998.




Ford RS200

Not the most successful car from the Group B era, maybe if Group B wouldn't have been banned, this would have become a winner. It's my first memory of race/rally car. I was little bit too young to witness Group B but after the end of Group B this model was used in the European Rallycross Championship in late 80's and that I remember watching on tv.

Quote from deggis :

Just yesterday watched World Sportscar Championship review from 1988 and I think these Jags looked somehow amusing from the side, like some kind of flea. Mostly because of the covered rear tyres.

Sauber Mercedes C9 is best looking Group C proto.

Oh and I <3 the 787B.

He lost it under throttle so locking wouldn't be too credible.

The layout is great!

We also should get the TC removed

Microsoft taking care of its gold members after last weeks live outage.

Quote :

I got some info from my Microsoft contact after questioning whether or not Gold Members will get thrown a bone for all the downtime they had to sit through. While nothing has been officially announced, they have stated, “…we will definitely be doing something for our Gold members that weren’t able to get online over the last week.” It only makes sense right? It didn’t dawn on me how stupid it was to have multiplayer access be the only perk Gold members get for their membership fee until this past week. I happily pay for my Gold account but damn, give me something worthwhile for it besides multiplayer gaming. I seriously think Microsoft should allow all Xbox Live members, Silver and Gold, access to multiplayer gaming. For the Gold membership we should get access to downloadable content, early demos before Silver members(already implemented), access to all the E3 and Comic Con videos, discounted purchases and whatever else they can think up. Being able to get on my dashboard but not play COD4 online basically put me in Silver account mode. I know for a fact that PS3 owners were playing COD4 over the holiday. I wish I was. Stay tuned for a full announcement from Microsoft.

Thank You.

Instead of using the heel & toe, use half of the foot for braking and the other for throttle..


I think that's it..

Oh, I would have liked to see a manual gearbox.

Does the FB02 have an H-shifter or sequential gearbox?

Took long enough. But it was worth the wait IMO

Anyone from LFS-Torque? Let's give him a pic of a hot guy.

Have a nice one.

They said on TV that it's not true that Alonso has anything to do with Honda.
