my thoughts on the incident with 116 and 123. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pvv0Gt8J0pI

I'd say thats kinda a racing incident/CoRe cars fault... It was 3 wide so maybe the guy in the middle was just being cautious but at the same time the CoRe car isn't expecting THAT much space to be left therefore he turns in for the turn rather than staying high. Maybe he shouldn't have turned into him but then again maybe the middle car should've actually turned for the corner taking a normal racing line rather then going so wide.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

To my knowledge LFS does kinda simulate the drafting/slipstream effect. Not very well but it simulates it in a basic form and it effects both cars.

I don't think it affects both cars. I think its as basic as the car behind loses most of the downforce and that's about it (or front downforce at least which is why when your following someone in their slipstream in a highspeed corner you'll just keep going straight.)

Thats how I think it works at least... Not 100% sure though.

Lol weirdly enough I got into a server that was racing that combo (with GT2) and got some sets with R2 Front and R3 rear. The set would last about 1 hour i think and at a much quicker pace then 51-52. So during your pitstop (which you will have to do in a 1h 40 race since the fuel tank doesnt take enough for that much time!) you'll need to change tires once thats all. Good luck!

Although I agree with what you say SparkyDave, a strategy should never be forced, if you want to use a different strategy go for it. It's called a strategy because theres multiple choices... If 1 guy is dominating and lapping .2 or .3 of a second faster then everyone except some guy who got unlucky in qual and he's in 3rd but lapping as quickly. The gap is huge. What's the smartest thing to do? Push the guy in P2 all the way to P1 and then ditch him. I think it's just fair and if the guy who's getting passed by the bump drafters doesn't like it, he can just join the line, catch the draft and easily seperate them :P.

Anyways, this is another topic/argument that will never end because it's purely opinion lol.

Quote from ANAMENOONEHAD :

ITS funny most people drive the oval in a open wheel car which i havent seen bump drafting in indy at all. its a closed wheel type deal. so i think bump drafting in a ss is cheating the physics/damage model of lfs for the momment. anyone can show me a vid of ss's bump drafting? as far as the gtr cars go sure its legit. but ss hmm....

Open wheel car also designated Karts I think :P Karts do bump draft . But I agree. Larger open wheel cars with front wings shouldn't be able to bump draft but just wait till the devs integrate the detacheable wings and we'll see .

Quote from VECCHIONI :

this will be most likely my last response to this dilemma, however like wild just said, if he was racing nolan and myself for the win and he was not teammates with nolan...no way in hell does he stay behind the car in front there. He would of passed him knowing that coming out of t3 he would be behind with the draft momentum and ability to pass... All there is to it is that teammates held a bottom line and blocked early in the lap when it wasnt necessary.

And teammates are not allowed to hold a bottom line? If they thought it was necessary to hold the bottom line then they can do it, nothings stopping them. As for the whole ''you should've passed instead of slowed down'' thats just bull. If he wants to stay behind someone let him do it, even if you believe it was a dissadvantage he may see something you don't.

Shaweeet :d

Quote from buck77 :

ah!

thank you, master

Don't even try to understand Timo, he's just plain weird and unpredictable.

That sounds very interesting Mister Passingham. I look forward to watching this very special show.

/stupidismlyweirdtalking

SHAWEEET instant replays ftw :P Wait nvm, rib fest downtown tomorow, not gunna be watching

Bump drafting isn't cheating, it's just a tactic... I know it's been said a million times but still..

It happens in real life racing which allows it like karting, touring cars, NASCAR, etc. In things like formula cars obviously you won't see them doing that in real cars because they'd just break into peices. So in the case of formula cars bump drafting in LFS, well I think its just taking advantage of LFS' damage model...

I don't see it as cheating because its allowed in real life racing except that in some cases the cars don't allow it. I'm sure that if F1 cars COULD bump draft (and stay close enough to even have a chance at bump drafting) they would...

Me likes to have sex too

Lol at the video description's ''warm down lap'' :P Maybe cool down would've been more appropriate???

Yep the facebook ones are visible

Nice pics. I like the black and white one with the red mustang.

LOL nice one!

Me too, it's not even animated or anything... Don't get it...

Quote from Blas89 :

The world needs to laugh at those who really think Schumi is the stig!, seriously.

Lol seriously :P

Nah I like the white one more. I'm a big fan of white.

Quote from chavm481 :

i felt like he was seriously not the stig, i still see the stig driving around with us not knowing who he is, its weird.

Because we don't know who it is... It could or could not be Schumacher. You never know. It's still just as much a mystery as it was before the fake revealing of the Stig.

Oh God... Nakajima 5th... I smell a T1 massacre :P

Ouch, forgot about that. :P

Quote from 5haz :

The one race all yeah I'd like to see Button win, and he and Brawn screw up. :doh:

Nah it's not over yet.
You know damn well the Brawn's pwn in the race cuz they don't abuse the tires. We'll see. I think Vettel's gunna win from Webber with Barrichello in 3rd and Button 4th but anything can happen!

Quote from el pibe :

wow ! wait!

can someone tell me what happend ????


i fell asleep even before turning on the tv at 5am... XD

Watch it on TSN at 7:55 am like a smart person who knows he won't remember what happened at 5am cuz he's sleeping!!!

Well Sutil almost killed himself, Vettel's on pole, Button's 6th while his teammate is 2nd not sure. Webber got blocked on his flying lap by Raikkonnen and therefore only managed 3rd. /spoiler

New track record by Vettel? Or is the track record only taken from the race itself? The previous one was 1:18.739 - M Schumacher (2004)..

Lol actually it means ''The guy's dead!'' :P I'm always amazed by how safe racecars are. Why aren't road cars that safe??? Theres this crash and Kubica's crash @ Montreal 2007 that amaze me...

Love the song, love the drift. Awesome stuff haha.

(The filming sucked though but whatever)
