Anyone suggest some decent GTR2 mods?

Quote from StableX :

Could always use the RUF name maybe?

Or KS911 maybe

Thought it was Crema but wasn't sure if Kunos had developed it.

Quote from Mustafur :

Double file restarts, rolling starts for road course, the no blocking rule and Brian barnhart need to be gone for Indy to improve properly.

No, Keep the double file restarts to be honest.

NO. Rolling starts need to stay else the series is just another F1-like. I didn't like it in 07 when Champ Car went to a standing start. I'd rather have a rolling start for safety reasons (i.e. everyone already up to speed and no chance of a staller on the grid). Imagine the Indy 500 with a standing start. It would ruin years upon years of tradition.

Yes, get rid of that no blocking rule. I vividly remember CART in the mid-late 90s with Zanardi, strange there was a loosely enforced blocking rule then....All you Americans, imageine NASCAR with a no blocking rule and penalties like at Sonoma.

Barnhart. Yeah, fire him. Wasn't he gone after Homestead anyway? Whatever happened to that?

EDIT: Reinbold protesting the Sonoma results. Wow

New car maybe? I can't see Kunos being allowed to add a full blown Porsche to the works, but if he fudges the name a bit I have a sneaky feeling it'll slip past.

Also, what track was that in the vid at....1:25-1:29?

Get rid of SOME of them, sure. Like the blocking one.

Maldonado...WTF

That was 100% inentional, he doesn't deserve to take the grid.

When said padding takes away a chunk of the track and narrows the racing line? (See Bristol for instance, track narrowed.)

It'd be like putting padding all around Bathurst mustafur to make the track narrower than it already is. Suppose down Conrod they put SAFER barriers instead of the grass.

Which would be pointless. Think about a SAFER barrier on what is essentially a road course.

Figures, it's usually me or him he goes for.

Makes me really, really wish I had a laptop capable of running LFS now, instead I'm stuck with a cheap £150 netbook.

Quote from PMD9409 :

And here we go. The Glen is looking into creating safer barriers.

I'm sorry, but WG management, kindly **** off. The track does not need SAFER barriers. They are not helpful at all on road courses. A car hits at an extreme angle (think McDowell's wreck at Texas), it's gonna roll regardless. Also, cars get spat back off of SAFER barriers, whereas with a harder wall, it stops the car more suddenly.

IMO, SAFER barriers ought to be oval only. What's next, SAFER barriers at Infineon, RA, Road America, San Jose, Long Beach?

Ahem. She's been running in the Canadian Tire series and doing fairly well over the past 2 years, been consistent and able to bring the car home.

I love the NCATS though, it's classic racing week in, week out.

Sounds a lot like Kyle's mind there....

WTF at the whole race...just...WTF. Dario wrecking, TK going over, Taku nearly getting his first oval win.

And Will Power spawning a new internet meme too. Epic win/fail directing by ABC not cutting away.

Ubi delay PC version for a month...

I wouldn't be amazed if they delay AC Revalations next either.

All part of Ubi's plan to abandon the PC market.

I get asked that daily, I've taken to turning up at work in a pentacle t-shirt and generally making it as obvious as possible and having the act number and the act taped to the inside of my jacket. Comes in really...really handy at times. I can just pull out the sheet of paper and print off more copies. Sidenote: They never did object to me carrying a sword into the stable however...

Either way, any truth to the rumour that the police want to use rubber bullets?

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :

The defence in law stems back to when we needed Sikhs to fight for us (yes, we changed the law to suit a minority religion, but it helped us win many wars). It also applies to any religion that requires you to wear a bladed item, not just Sikhism.

Kirpans are dull, I distinctly remember in my school (circa...about 9 or 10 years ago) a Sikh boy explaining the kirpan to his RS class, and going on about how it is meant

To go off topic for a moment...that law, at least for the police's view of it, is total BS.

I as a practicing Wiccan, carry my athame to my work/meetings (a riding stable which has a veeery small coven, I help with ceremonies there so it's needed that I take an athame. Which, for U41K's benifit, is a blunted blade), and I've been stopped five times in the last couple of months. I teach two Sikh kids who are amazing riders...they carry kirpans with them, go past the same police, nothing. Yes, some branches of Wicca do in fact require you to carry a bladed item at times (athame, sword for instance. Both blunt). Also, the law states you can carry a bladed item up to a certain size. Again, my work's fallen foul of this at least twice. Each time I've played the ceremonial aspect up. Once I got away with it, the other time they confiscated it and returned my blade within a week.

Let's assume that it does apply to any religion, then why is one (minority) religion being stopped and another (less minority) religion being allowed to carry blades? In an ideal world, it'd be one law for all.

As for the looters? Sending in the army won't help at all, it will just inflame the situation immensely. Water cannons are fairly effective, but hard to get a hold of. Or for that matter drive through a crowd of rioters.

I wanna thank Mookie for punting me to a race 1 win...

Good start, the official site's Error 502.

Alright, who'd you guys annoy now?

Brad \o/

Three times....not twice Jon

That just makes me fail worse. Least you gave me a hint on how to set it up this time

Fern Bay?

I just KNOW I'm gonna suck royally now. I'm still excited however...By the railway I saw somwhere about the race I'm gonna assume it's FE Black?

Quote from Jon606 :

All rounds will start at 8pm UK time (that's 7pm UTC).

>.> I can just show up earlier then. General thread is up?

7PM yes?

If so I can be there...now I know what I'm doing. Doubtful for the other rounds though.
