My computer keeps crashing when I connect to your server so I am going to sit this one out. I've never been on a server with that many people so it's probably that. Annoying I was looking forward to it

Quote from Cornys :The series enterance exam has been simplified. Users now may either post a SPR of them hotlapping just one lap beneath 103% of WR or they may upload a hotlap within 103% of WR to LFSWorld and simply state which track in which they did this upon registration.

Hopefully this will simplify the process and take away some of the time which would have been required in order to compete.

General discussion may be made here with regarded to registration, points standings, predictions, and discussion on rounds which do not yet have a discussion thread (such as round 4 prior to round #3's occurance).

So just to check my dodgy maths skills, with the RB4 on the KY3r, that'd be within 2 seconds of the WR (2:49.88)?

Marussia have decided it wasn't a fault on their car.

Their server has been down and he is pleased to see drivers that would have otherwise been on their server. This has given them the chance to peruse other servers and take stock of the situation. They note that the amount of cars in the demo is limited and the FBM is often driven erratically and foolishly. Therefore, they'd like another safer car to drive included in the demo (presumably they haven't spotted the XFG).

They also note that avoiding an accident takes great skill and often this results on the driver going onto the grass. However, this causes the driver's safety rating to go down and they find this unjust. They fell this injustice puts off people in some way.

If we're going to quote rules

Quote :20.2 Drivers must use the track at all times. For the avoidance of doubt the white lines defining the track edges are considered to be part of the track but the kerbs are not.
A driver will be judged to have left the track if no part of the car remains in contact with the track.
Should a car leave the track the driver may rejoin, however, this may only be done when it is safe to do so and without gaining any advantage.
A driver may not deliberately leave the track without justifiable reason.

Quote from CSF :But 4th place gets you more points than 19th. He wasn't going to finish 3rd.

Also please give an example of flags and back of the grid penalties.

Post edited. So many Hamilton penalties, it gets confusing.

Quote from Intrepid :Lewis took a high risk strategy. Modern tracks mean that when you run a driver wide, which Lewis was perfectly within his rights to do, and then that's followed by a corner in the opposite direction of the first then you have to take into account that. Lewis didn't. There's a time and a place to defend your position, this wasn't it.

He should take account of something which multiple different drivers including Maldonado himself didn't take account of in the same afternoon?

Quote from Intrepid :That's DRS & Pirelli for ya.

No, it's a rule system that gives you a drive through if you crash into someone and demotes you from pole to the back of the grid if you make a fuelling error.

Quote from Storm_Cloud :The sport is about obtaining more points than anyone else, not about being macho. If you think scoring points is bullshit for sport then I really don't know where you're coming from.

There are times when you must stand your ground and times when you have to accept that a situation only has downsides for you. It's not about letting the bullies win, but Pastor had a podium on his mind and does not care about the championship. He therefore had less to lose than Hamilton, so although he was not at fault that's no good when you're stuck in the tyre wall.

It's a bit being stood at a zebra crossing with a car speeding towards it. You could step out, get run over and then complain from the hospital that it was your right of way, or you engage your brain and get across the road eventually.

3rd place gets you more points that 4th place, so you should be able to battle for a place without fear of getting punted into the barrier by a sulky pay driver. Regardless of how ****ed your tyres are.

By your logic, nobody would tackle notorious football players in case they get injured and it jeopardises a future match.

Quote from Storm_Cloud :I didn't say "jump out of the way" so, no.

But what you are saying is that drivers that are known to be arseholes be let through or at best not as well fought as those that drive cleanly. Which may be in some way be pragmatic for the drivers in a situation but it's bullshit for the sport.

To me, it looked like he might have done it going too far over on the red and white curb but it wasn't a clear shot.

Quote from vipex123 :I half hope Senna to win, just so we can all see everyone say Maldonado can't drive and we can see how stupid the accusations are!

In realistic terms, Hamilton will be super fast as usual but I expect Schumacher to be somewhere near the front. That is if he doesn't destroy another car infront of him of Mercedes mess up again.

Yeah, I'll accuse him of deliberately driving into another car in a temper today, Worst driver in formula 1 strikes again

Are your speakers plugged into the creative card or the audiogram's line out?

It would help if you put a more technical detail about your hardware than "thingy". The problem you're getting is with the "latency" which is measured in milliseconds. The higher the latency, the further behind the response is from the hardware. It is a problem with the hardware and the drivers and the better your stuff, the lower the latency (it's not a world away from gaming "lag" in principle). You will not get anything decent from an onboard audio chip for instance.

Quote from BlueFlame :Well Maldonado's car is in Parc Fermé so I'd like to know what they left in the garage that you consider to be what they cheated with :P

Quote from amp88 :Low quality cap from BBC Forum stream of the Williams smoke. Seemingly under control now.

edit: BBC reporting the fire was caused by a KERS explosion and that there are injuries but no more information.

It's called getting rid of the evidence

Pastor Maldonado, worst driver in F1, can only win a race when they slow everyone down with stupid tyres (or with whatever cheat they just torched haha ;-) )

HRT aren't really in formula 1 but nevertheless, he hasn't pulled the dick moves that Maldonado has.
