Don't forget to pull over for the faster drivers

I prefer league (I race in the beginners one) racing. I find the task of learning a specific combo for a race much better for learning the sim. Also go on the server and practice with other people in the league and I can watch them and learn from them which is useful. I raced in a 50 minute long GT2 race which had a 31 car starting grid. It was great fun and I find it way way better than 5 minutes round blackwood which I've done to death and that in itself is the demo limiting (although I bought S2 pretty soon anyway after i found the game)

There are quite a few leagues and some really interesting events that happen but they are not pushed at the forefront of the game which I think is a wasted opportunity as it doesn't really do what's happening in the game justice when someone logs on to a cluttered looking server list of mostly empty hosts and sees sometimes only a handful of people. League news is posted on an obscure bit of lfsworld/stats rather than on the main site. Plus why isn't there a bit on the LFS site linking into the video footage of live races and when none are on, showing replays of recent races? Or some of the videos posted in the movies section.

I am not a participant in your series but from an outside perspective, I don't think anyone much would blame you if you put a permanent ban on these drama llamas that carry on grudges from thread to thread. On the flip side, you might have less aggro if you properly punished people that drive atrociously in your races. Rather than imposing penalties and then scaling them down when they go crying in a protest thread.

From what i've seen, you (RN) put yourself out to make races good and then get an unnecessary amount of aggro from childish idiots. Don't put up with it, ban them from your servers whatever end of the field they are driving at.

I feel like its a lot of mixed signals or something.

What signals have you given her? It reads like nonchalance from what you typed.

I also endorse klutch's advice

Quote from Mustafur :

Like the fact they had to sack 250 stuff to operate, i doubt they would of done that for fun.

Quote :

Brawn GP had more money flowing into its coffers last year than Ferrari, Red Bull, McLaren and Renault yet it didn't have a car manufacturer or a billionaire backing it. Remarkably, Brawn had even higher revenue last year than in 2008 when it was fully owned by Honda, the biggest-spending car manufacturer in the history of Formula One.

Quote :

The accounts reveal that the team's total costs fell 18.8% to £135.1m with £7.5m of the fall coming from slashed staff costs.

Quote :

Cutting costs clearly did the trick. Brawn GP's pre-tax profit accelerated from £1.3m in 2008 to £98.7m the following year and the management shared a £20m dividend.

Quote from Mustafur :

Honda did give them a redundency allowence which they used to contend the season however it was miniscule compared to rival teams budgets, the link you just posted even states that.

It also states a lot of other things.

Quote from Mustafur :

Brawn had to take risks to catch up some ground, either way like newey at Red Bull before the big reg change in 2009 he isn't going to be able to do much till the regulations open up again( since falling behind badly after Brawn F1s lack of budget).

Speaking of Brawn's lack of money and that "barely 10%" budget http://www.pitpass.com/42149-T ... -Brawn-GPs-record-revenue

Quote :

They weren't sacked, they were made redundant. Because the budget was barely 10% of Honda's

That means nothing to the point I was making.

Quote :

The DDRS was a huge screw up. Only 4 teams copied it. Terrible.

I suspect you are thinking of the wrong man/team. Perhaps you've mistaken Brawn and Mercedes for Luis Perez-Sala and HRT?

Is making something for your car that makes it go slower not a screw up?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/19064856

Even Brawn thinks he screwed up on double drs so I don't know why you disagree.

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/104198

Apparently getting rid of Ross Brawn is quite controversial but he's hardly shone as a principal from the moment he sacked a load of the work force that built him a championship winning car. The double DRS thing last year was quite a big screw up.

Glock pulls the trigger (b'dum tish)

Why are you so excited. It's pretty lame. A collision less mesh. It's not really a "great" thing. It's just that nobody has been stupid enough to attempt it because its a stupid idea.

A real track would be exciting, this shit is just a car mesh. How is that anything cool or good?

Agreed.

Is there an option where you can set the displays to both display the same thing rather than the tv being an extension of your desktop?

Quote from Masterboy19660815 :

Gosh, I never played on Demo servers ( mostly online on CG S2 or Fox Junkies )

And, I just wanted to say that here, but your small brain isn't able to use this information clever

So someone got you banned from servers that you never use? How did you find out? Why do you care then? I'm confused!

Quote from ToxicKlay :

I never said anything about this. I'm well aware that there has been no new content, so why are we trying to push pirates as far away as possible when they could be potentially spending money on LFS? Very seldom do I see someone post a link to the shop page, and when it does happen, it's in the form of a ridiculously snarky response. I can't speak on behalf of most people, but if I were brand new in a community and someone was replying to my posts like that, I'd want to pirate even MORE just to spite the community.

If people based their purchase of a game on whether someone was a twat on the game's forum then nobody would any buy game ever.

I'm sure he wouldn't rule out going to Ferrari or Red Bull either

Cool video. Nice work

"He's had some great results, he won in Barcelona and err... some great qualifying results" haha

Aren't flags and lights the same thing displayed differently...

I must be so incredibly unlucky because the best I can do is drive slowly in a virtual racing game.

Quote from samjh :

In most common law countries (eg. US, UK, Canada, Australia, etc), crime involves physical and mental elements: guilty conduct and guilty mind. Both have to be proven in a court of law. There are some crimes where only the physical element is required to be proven, but those are limited cases.

This is why accidental killings are treated differently to intentional killings, and also why those who are mentally deranged are sent to institutions for psychiatric treatment rather than punishment.



If I recall correctly, the stewards' decision to ban Grosjean was due to:
* History of crashes
* The crash involved leading world championship contenders

Pretty unfair, IMHO, but it is what it is.

Alonso doesn't deserve a ban. He was being a hypocrite though (at Monza: "always you have to leave the space!!!").

Guilt and punishment are two different things. The former is not really relevant as crashes are pretty much exclusively accidents so you don't need to factor intent or any of those things you mentioned. All the stewards need to factor is who was at fault and was it avoidable/the result of ****wittery, that gets a penalty or not. The penalty is then decided by the amount it affected someone else's race. If you take out a load of cars, almost chopping someone's head off, you're going to get a harsher deal than if you just spin round and only **** your own race up. I don't see what people see as unfair with that?

Is he doing gangnam style or showing the lady on the right what's he going to be doing to her later?

Quote from tristancliffe :

So Grosjean was punished not for what he did, but the end result? Is that fair?

That's how all punishment works. If I aim a gun at your head and shoot then the criminal punishment is based on how good a shot I am, not my intent to kill you.

I saw the beginning and end of the broadcast and their commentary consisted mainly of

"what a stupid ****"
"he keeps ****ing up"
"this is the most boring race i've ever seen"
"that's ****in tbo races for you"
