Quote from Dygear :

Poor guy is testing with equipment for his era, the only time he gets into the current spec car is when starts practice on Friday. I would expect him to be out in that car for the whole 1 and a half hours.

I'm pretty sure they're simulating the downforce levels, balance, etc of the current 2009 car though. :P And plus if the FIA accepts, he'll get a test in the 2009 car before Valencia. :

Quote from DevilDare :

You all forgot about Davidson. IMO he is the most realistic canditate for the 2nd Brawn seat next year

I'd actually really like to see him in F1 next year...

Quote from BlueFlame :

Well my original point was, is that when Schumacher returns in 4 weeks, we will see how good he really is.

No we wont, we'll see how Schumacher is after a couple of years without racing and without any practice in the car he's driving. If he wins a race, he's a legend. If he doesn't, it's understandable... I don't expect that much from him since he's so old and still recovering from his neck injury...

Mustafur, your predictions are a bit odd. I doupt we'll see Senna and Heidfeld in Brawn since Jenson is going to be with Brawn for sure! :P

I think Rosberg will stick to Williams a little longer and be patient. Alonso Ferrari/Renault sounds about right. I smell a Kubica/Alonso Renault :P

Ah. Either way, it's all the lollipop guy's fault! :P He must feel like crap right now xD

:o Bruna Senna's in that?? Cool :P never knew xD

Quote from BenjiMC :

but i dont think the WHEEL was loose, just the spinner. I think the wheel would of come off a lot sooner if the actual nut was loose.

If it was just the spinner, why would the wheel come off.. Wouldn't only the spinner fall off???

That looks amazing. Great job.

oops. They look the same when so little. :P

Quote from lizardfolk :

Did you even watch that video I posted?....

How can anyone say THAT was fun....

Thats cuz they were on slicks though, if they had rain tires it would've been cool. Problem is, rain tires would get destroyed in abouttttttttttttt 5 laps if they're lucky imo :P

Because they dont race in the rain... Now they do in some NASCAR series' on road courses so they have rain tires, they didn't before so it was all slicks... On oval it would be way too dangerous to race in the rain... Rain tires would get shredded in 2 secondes...

I knew Ozan a while ago... He's really fast and could definetly get that WR without cutting or slipstreaming or anything :P

Lol nice vid xD.

Boothy getting owned was funny :P

So basicly last year we had a 2 tier championship as well? I guess the only way to fight that from happening would be to have 1 fixed chassis for everyone? But then that would kill the whole point of technological development in F1...

So you're saying that having cars that have more mechanical grip and less aero and cars with the opposite on the same track in the same championship is a 2 tier championship? They'll each be better at some tracks and be worst in others... Just like McLaren is better on technical tracks and not as good on fast tracks while Redbull is unstoppable on fast tracks, is that a 2 tier championship?

Quote from Mustafur :

See this is what happens when you tell the truth. it WAS a KERS pass so please shut up.

The KERS effectively makes a 2 tier championship.

I didn't mean he would've passed in that occasion, I mean't he would've passed on track eventually with or without KERS. And wether it was a KERS pass or not, Webber doesn't have KERS so he should have an advantage in the corner which he screwed up and Hamilton managed to get it well and get on the KERS button to make the pass... A KERS pass still is a pass and still requires some kind of skill.

Quote from Mustafur :

KERS pass

I don't care if its KERS or not, it still made for a good show lol. KERS killed a couple of passes and ruined the races a couple of time this season but this time it made it interesting... I'm against KERS but I'm sure that even without KERS he probably would've been able to pass.

Quote from Rudy van Buren :

nah hamilton will be me favorite until the end, but since i know nico a bit personal i just got some good feeling seeing him do wel

Yeah I really liked the way Hamilton drove in Hungary and the way he races in general. He actually races and makes passes on track, I like that... Makes for a good show.

Sign ups have only been open for a day or 2... Maybe a bit of patience would get you further...

I missed the qual on saturday so I got it later from somewere else but for the race it was fine at least.

I took a swag (Sophisticated Wild Ass Guess) and typed http://500servers.com/kartmeet/ into Firefox, and it shows it.

Should indeed be all of it

I get bandwidth limit exceeded in that and the other one with user n pass doesn't work...

Quote from Bob Smith :

There are shifter karts too you know. What's this about MRT5 bashing? It handles so much better than in S1 it's untrue. Just throw about the clutch type diff, it's no good for this car. I've found my S1 sets, with a little fiddling (especially tyre pressures, where things have reversed), work very well.

Yeah but the difference is that karts don't have suspension! :P I agree it would be really nice to have karts in LFS. Different categories too maybe. The slower 4 strokes to 2 stroke and shifter karts.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Was the car clearly released in an unsafe state, or was the unsafe state only noticed after he'd started moving? Was the team able to respond via radio (I didn't hear any replies on the broadcast)? If the 'defect' wasn't noticed until after he'd gone, what more could they really do. They weren't going to ask him to pull over if they thought he could get back to the pits, sort the problem and send him back out. The fact that it ultimately fell off doesn't necessarily come to it - all 20 cars might have wheels that fall off, but they are allowed to continue...

The pit guy knew it, he was trying to fix it and never put his arm up but the lollipop man still let Alonso out... It's true that if they didnt know at the moment of the pit it wouldn't be entirely their fault but the guy who was working on putting that wheel on clearly knew it wasn't in properly and didn't put his arm up to let the rest of the crew know he's done therefore its the lollipop mans fault. But like Zeug said, I think a nasty fine would've been more then enough rather then a suspension...

Its unsafe to release a car that's clearly broken though -_-

I agree its an over-reaction but I also agree that it should still be penalized...
