Time to ask my yearly RBR question. I got RSRBR 12 installed and loving it so far. But how do I change the pacenotes from French into English?

I'm not sure how I got that

Quote from PMD9409 :

JV does this nearly everytime he races. He moves people out of the way etc to get through people. What he did to Alex today was classic him. In all honesty, if you are willing to take someone out of the race (rather intentionally), you better be willing to be bumped by someone else (who doesn't even spin you off).

No.

He didn't in CART/F1/sportscars at all, stock cars let you move people out of the way and he does. So should Brad have given Marcos a nudge at Watkins? Should Dale Sr have moved people out of the groove in the 90s and expected to have got put in the wall every single time?

Double standards IMO

New build out too, 247mb

Caterham Classic....fun car. VERY fun

Quote from The Very End :

Your mother.

Name me one decent Norwegian car maker?

FIrst Ford, now BMW...I wonder who is next

Quote from Bean0 :

The stupidity is from the likes of yourself who have not read the thread properly.

All we are asking for is dedicated server options to filter who can join by control method/driving aids...much like LFS/Airio can do.

See now you explain it, i'm coming around to the idea now that it is actually explained nicely what it's about and yes, I think it should be options, but there shouldn't be people out there who for example set it for G27 only and to ban any other users. Though, there will be.

But some people in that thread are all 'ZOMG KB/PAD USERS CANT DRIVE AND SHOULDNT BE ALLOWED TO PLAY PCARS AT ALL ONLINE!11' mentality, which isn't exactly true....as a look at LFSW would point out, there are quick KB/pad users and clean KB/pad users. I wouldn't rule out cross platform racing at all though (again, portal 2 had cross platform multiplayer when people said Source MP wouldn't work on the PS3), anything is possible and honestly I would expect SMS to surprise us with that as a feature.

I tend to take issue with people who assume all keyboard users or pad users are wreckers, as was the mentality from a few people in that thread and their outright hostility to everything non wheel related. It's pretty stupid and there were several workarounds and valid points from both sides posted that they didn't pay attention to.

Quote from NunoMike :

Those may be the same guys who wished for having you controling your driver GTA style, taking your car from the truck, walk through the paddock, walk to the stand to watch an online race (as if the Dedicated Server doesn't have too much to do with his resources with 40+ guys promised to be racing) and control him at podium!

There are quite stupid sugestions. Fortunately most of those sugestions die at birth.

Actually if that was done right, it would be very, very good, (up to the walking the paddock bit), nKPro had its own first person mode after all.

I'm really liking the rain and the FRookie so far, both are done well (Okay, so the rain's in a very basic state). NotNurburgring is great to drive so far, I'm addicted to taking the Zonda around it and trying to beat 7 minutes, or the FA at Azure Coast circuite and winning there.

EDIT: The stupidity on the WMD forums is rising. Apparently some people want public servers to be wheels only. Despite the fact it's planned to be on consoles. SMH

Hornaday failed a drug test a while back. Reason? Prescription medicine. Still think he's an idiot?

Quote from legoflamb :

Psychonauts is an interesting and somewhat obscure game. I can't play it my self because it is only available on XBLA, and I couldn't be arsed to buy the PS2 version and and old ps2 just to play it.

?!?!?!?!?!?!

It's on GOG and Steam as well (least in Europe), head to gog.com, search for Psychonauts, it is there for either $5 or $10

Wow, Iowa was nuts, so was Milwaukee

Piquet vs McDowell?!

There's gonna be a lot of angry pick 'em guys

Quote from Bean0 :

Forum reputation is always abused with people giving rep to their mates just for the sake of it. There is a mod for vB to 'Thank' or 'Like' a post, but it adds so much text it ruins the readability of the forums which I think was tried and quickly removed again.

IIRC It was due to a few people spamming it, rep system? No thank you

Quote from Rob Prange :

Eleven different Fords to be available in Project CARS

London, May 30, 2012: Slightly Mad Studios are proud to announce they have signed a licensing agreement with the Ford Motor Company that will allow eleven iconic Fords to be included in the company’s WMD-powered Project CARS title.

Project CARS players will get to choose from eleven famous Ford models within Project CARS, ranging from powerful muscle cars and iconic sports car racing machinery to modern street & racing cars.

1966 Mustang 2+2 fastback (foundation trade dress for 1966 Shelby GT350)

The 2+2 Fastback was one of the first Mustangs that helped build the iconic name Ford’s range of Mustang models has today.

Powered by a Ford 289 K-Code V8 engine putting out 274hp, the car was also the base for Carrol Shelby’s GT350 model.

1967 Ford MK IV

Better known as the GT40, the MK IV was the fourth evolution of Ford’s legendary sports car racing challenger. Powered by a seven-liter V8 engine, the car went on to win both the 1967 Sebring 12 Hours & Le Mans 24 Hours in the hands of Bruce McLaren, Mario Andretti, Dan Gurney & AJ Foyt.

1972 Escort RS1600

The RS1600 was the sport version of Ford’s Escort Mark 1 that was build from 1968 through 1974. Powered by a 16-valve Cosworth BDA engine, the car featured a sport suspension and strengthened bodyshells that made the RS 1600 a long-time favorite for amateur racing & rally drivers.

1980 Capri (Group 5 – Team Zakspeed)

Built by Team Zakspeed, the Group 5 version of the Ford Capri was one of the most extreme Ford race cars ever built. Powered by a twin turbo-charged 1.4 liter Cosworth BDA engine, the car predominantly raced in the Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft, being driven by legends such as Klaus Ludwig & Hans Heyer.

1988 Sierra RS500 Cosworth (Group A)

Designed to the FIA Group A regulations for touring cars, the Sierra RS500 Cosworth successfully competed in the 1987 World Touring Car Championship where it narrowly missed out on winning the title. The car also proved to be very successful in national series such as the DTM where it clinched the title in 1988.

1997 Mustang Cobra (SCCA Trans-Am)

The Ford Mustang Cobra has made the Trans-Am history book as the series’ most successful race car of all time. The car completely dominated the 1997 season, winning all 13 poles & races.

Built by Roush Racing, the Cobra weighed 1400 kilograms, using a pushrod V8 engine & five-speed gearbox.

2012 Fusion NASCAR Stock Car

The Fusion is Ford’s weapon of choice for NASCAR Sprint Cup, helping the Ford Motor Company to two runner-up titles in America’s most popular form of motorsport in 2008 & 2012.

The Fusion stock car weighs 1700 kilograms and is powered by a mighty V8 engine built by Roush Yates, putting out more than 850hp. The car is being driven by famous NASCAR superstars such as Carl Edwards, Matt Kenseth & Gregg Biffle.

2012 Focus ST

The 2012 ST is the all-new top range model of Ford’s Focus model range. Powered by a 2.0-liter twin-cam 16-valve EcoBoost four cylinder engine that provides 247hp, the Focus sprints from 0-60 in just 6.5 seconds.

To go along with the impressive performance, the car is equipped with plenty of sport features such as aluminum pedals, Recaro sport seats as well as Ford’s Sport-Steering system.

2012 Focus ST (BTCC)

The Focus also has a presence in the British Touring Car Championship as Redstone Racing campaigns the Ford Focus ST touring car built to the Super 2000 regulations.

The car showed lots of promise in the early parts of the 2012 season as Mat Jackson was able to clinch two race wins at Donington Park & Thruxton.

2013 Falcon FG (Australian V8 Supercar Car of the Future)

Ford is one of two manufacturers involved in the hugely popular Australian V8 Supercar series. For 2013, the series will be switching to a new platform of cars, designed to be more cost effective and to offer better safety features.

The Falcon FG will be Ford’s challenger starting with the 2013 season as the company will try to add to their five manufacturer titles clinched in Down Under since 2003.

2013 Ford Shelby GT500

Bearing the name of the late Carroll Shelby, the GT500 is the most powerful factory-made Ford Mustang ever built.

Powered by a supercharged 5.8 liter V8 engine putting out 650hp , the GT500 exceeds a top speed of over 310kph. The raw power is controlled by the finest technology as the car is equipped with Brembo brakes and Bilstein suspension.


The Fords will be available to drive in Project CARS later this year. WMD members will be able to take a virtual test drive once first versions of the cars have been completed by using the regular development builds of Project CARS. To shorten the waiting time, WMD members get to follow every aspect of the car development process on the WMD forums, from the first steps to the finished car out on track.

Wow, they got a RS500, a 2012 Fusion, classic Fords? I'm now very, VERY interested, I love the lineup now, covers all bases.

He may do but if Penske gets involved and so does Andretti it's pretty much game over for Randy, he's done more than anyone else.

So the odds of yet another split are what exactly? 1979, 1996, 2012?

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

I have no clue either. If I recall correctly, I've once read some sort of speculation saying that Tony George asked for his head a few years ago for whatever reason(too close to CART? he used to be commentating both IRL and CART at that time, not a very comfortable position), but that may just be BS, I don't know.

But if that's true, maybe he could come back at some point, now that TG has stepped back.

I think he mentioned something like that on his blog, it makes for very good reading, I'm not sure if he's still writing his book but if anything like that would come out, it'd be in there or his blog.

If all else fails comment his blog and ask, he usually responds. I can see TG doing that. But Bob Jenkins also commentated CART as well however and he went on to do IRL with no (visible or documented) friction with TG.

TG absolutely hated the CART medical crew who were under contract to the Speedway during the split, never mind they were there pre CART/IRL split and had been there since the USAC/CART split (Steve Olvey and his staff) and treated them like dirt whenever Indy/NASCAR/F1 rolled around. For instance he tried to do that to them at the USGP by not letting them have anything to do with the race at all, so they were in the hospital but the FIA medics took over, this was 2001. Bernie had the last laugh however and flew them all to Brazil pretty much as VIPs, So yes, TG is enough of a control freak to do that.

From watching the broadcasts Paul was nothing but professional covering both, if ESPN had contracts for both CART and IRL he couldn't really say no could he, as he'd get told what he was covering.

Quote from DevilDare :

What the...?

Read that's what he did on another forum, also he (allegedly) gave the chief steward the finger or the marshall that showed him the flag.

I'm hoping he gets kicked out of GP3 to be honest, how he got in is beyond me, if I'm reading it right he's driving for Marussia Carlin, thought they had rules on stupidity in FIA series? Obviously not.

As for the F1 side of things I'm hoping they keep it clean and get some actual passing done. Monaco's always an epic setting, give us a race to match.

EDIT: Gonna quote this from SRD which I agree with

Quote from dalejrgamer :

Anyone who defends him is a tard. Maybe Daly ripped Suranovich's rear wing off (there's no footage of it, so I'll hold judgment), but for Suranovich to block like that with no rear wing is totally inexcusable. The fact that he gave the bird to the marshals that showed him the B/O flag is blatant disregard for the safety not only to his fellow competitors, but to the marshals AND himself (as well as the total lack of respect towards said competitors and marshals).

Hopefully they throw the rulebook at him.

He's under contract for ESPN and drag racing, why they put him there I got no clue, he's most famous for being the voice of the 500

Ignoring a black/orange flag for three laps

That was way more than one move, I'm glad he got excluded, but....

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

Was 2009 that good though? I don't recall so much of it, just an anti-climatic last stint with Helio-Dan-Danica 1-2-3 from green to checkers.

But that said, Helio winning right after the end of his tax evasion trial was a fantastic story line

Yep why I put it as good, 82/92 had fantastic storylines too, 82 was Johncock and Mears and 92, Little Al and Goodyear and Micheal Andretti having a two lap lead then the Andretti Curse rearing its ugly head (as usual for the Andrettis)

Oh and ESPN needs commentators who actually know their stuff. It's said every year, but....ESPN, bring back Paul Page. Or let him do what he did last year, offer insight for the radio network and stories

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

Some random numerology-related trivia... 1982, 1992 and 2002 were all epic races... Are we up for a real threat in 2012 too?


E: NBC Sports Network stream for Carb Day anyone, please? Starting in 2 hours or so, with live IndyCar practice, Freedom 100 race, pit-stop competition, etc.

Adding to your sequence....79 wasn't good, 89 was, 99 wasn't, 2009 was. So in 2019 do we get another boring race then 2029 another cracking race?

Secodning an NBC stream

Going through the whole 92 500 here, an amazing race from start to finish
