His time is slowest than the slowest qualifying time in 2009 for that circuit. Just to put this year's formula 1 in context. I don't think "who has the least shit time with tyres" is a great yard stick for a driver's competency nor is a one off qualifying slot disproving of the statement.

Quote from CSF :

"Maldonado is the worst driver in F1."

Nope.

Yes.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

If the behavior they got banned for was deserving of a ban then I would agree with you.

Glad you agree.

Quote from g7usl :

I really do not understand the moderaters on here. Whoever they are?

Yeah, why let someone back who is just going to come straight back in and start behaving in exactly the same manner that got them banned.

Just us a skin so crap nobody else will want it.

Quote from BlueFlame :

Just like I said here. Don't read the news but y'all just ignored it.

There's been no torture. It's beatings. Which some of these unruly people deserve. It's no different to any other riot/civil unrest situation, people just want another Libya situation so the media and select people are sensationalizing the problems.

It wasn't just Hill that said he never felt unsafe either, it was everyone in the F1 frat that had been saying it, and I don't recall seeing armed guards at the GP or even anything close to that kind of security. Considering the protests of the burning F1 adverts etc you'd of thought they would of done something, but as we saw in London, kids with nothing better to do are just gonna burn shit and be insolent to the authorities.


Don't you find it ironic that the only team that seemingly had a 'problem' with being in Bahrain was Force India, who decided to fly a guy home for no real reason? Rumours were is that he was attacked in a car, but the reality is, that didn't happen. So they made something up to make it seem bad and then still continued in the GP weekend apart from FP2. If their colleagues got attacked you'd assume they'd pull out ASAP to make sure it didn't happen to others.

They weren't the only team.

but hey, don't let facts get in the way of your stupid posts.

Perhaps there should be a cruisers vs racers competition

I think it's an autogenerated wikipedia related thing rather than anything someone runs.

http://www.facebook.com/LiveForSpeed this is the sorta page that people actually run.

Quote from spankmeyer :

It's justified to overthrow violent oppressors.

Killing rarely leads to anything positive in the long run.

Overthrowing oppressors doesn't happen unless people get killed.

Quote from deggis :

Are they? For example last year the big Pearl Roundabout demonstrations were peaceful until the moment government fake police forces responded with violence. With few exceptions this pattern has probably continued since. I guess you're also going to claim that they are just not going to drag protesters into jails (and several of them torturing to death).

They weren't but they are now

However, it is justified to kill violent oppressors.

I voted no but i think there is an exception on the 3 lap demo servers because of the amount of beginners and length of the race. Normally, navigating the effects of accidents are a part of motor racing. I'd prefer it if people who spectate aren't allowed to rejoin the race. I think if any auto spectating goes on it should be because the car is too damaged and FUBAR.

Quote from BlueFlame :

Well ironically before all the civil unrest Bahrain was one of the safest countries in the middle east. So I wouldn't talk about oppression quite so flippantly. The students in London last summer were close to being tear-gassed, but I don't see the UK as an oppressive autocracy do you?

If the civilians are being violent, then you must respond accordingly, which is what they are doing, they're not just going into random houses tear-gassing kids ffs.

Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and Syria were all "safer" before their uprising. What's your point? Nobody should rise up against oppression ever in case it puts the fate of a grand prix in question? and show me your evidence for your assertion that British students were close to being tear gassed.

Quote :

The escalation of unrest comes amid the retrial of 20 doctors and nurses who were convicted of trying to overthrow the government by treating demonstrators injured in last year's protests. The original prosecution of the medics brought widespread international condemnation.

Quote from BlueFlame :

It's not an idiotic case at all. Just because it's different to the masses doesn't make it idiotic.


How do you support your friends in need? Just **** off and leave them to sort it out? No, you give them economic support. Which is what the F1 event does.


Abandoning the event just shows that the rest of the world don't care about Bahrain and their problems, being there shows support by F1 saying (what ever happens to you Bahrain, we respect you enough to keep coming back anyway).

Not bothering to turn up just makes things worse from a diplomatic point of view.

Judging by previous threads I've read on here, I can say that you agreeing it with it confirms it as idiotic without the need for explaining to you how money distribution works in an oppressive autocracy that sends armoured cars in weekly to tear gas it's poor neighbourhoods.

Jackie Stewart uses tenuous parallels to make an idiotic case for it to still go ahead.

my family have farm, i must everyday milk cows, dig potatoes and other farm stuff

will think of plasma

been spending most your life, living in an Amish Paradise?

Grosjean is probably used to it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8a4JU4Pu-s

Just seen it again on the BBC, and Grosjean tried to squeeze him and then turned in on him a bit on exit. Not Maldonado's fault, he can't just disappear

http://www.lfsforum.net/attach ... mp;stc=1&d=1332085153 I think it's quite clear it wasn't Grosjean at fault. (taken from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxf0l8lsSUI)

If there's not enough garage spots, can always crash into each other and park on the road at the end of a race.

...a wage that a business could pay and still stay in business..

Do you think that's how Wal-Mart (or any other large corporation) work out what they pay their shop staff?

Don't know whether this has any sway over attendance but I have never been able to find any of the pure racing servers in the server list.

Venezuelans don't pay VAT.

Quote from (IRINA) :

one comment:

thats the f*cking joke, full of idiots and kids

You did over-react somewhat.

Advice? Half full servers are generally better than full ones in demo. Don't take it to heart, you get idiots in every game and it's not like that all the time.

Quote from Flame CZE :

Why don't you remove all the messages in the AIRIO options?

Wasn't aware I could do that. Thanks

Quote from cargame.nl :

Huh? Trackmania?

Did they changed something? In the first version its impossible to collide with each other because other players act like ghost cars

If something really spams then its the LFS chat in general on busy servers.

.

Don't know about that. I mean, I when someone enters into a server, I do not need to know about their LFS Experience, Rank, that their skin wasn't found on LFS world, when they last raced, how fast they were down a straight. That stuff is kinda spammy.
