Motocycle circuits have some things that are good. Air walls for instance have saved a lot of lives. But indeed, he died doing what he loved.

Hello,

Could someone please render these 2 skins. I want just a simple studio render with the cars parked next to each other. Thanks in advance, and *2048 attached.

I went ahead and did his other paint scheme after watching this week's race.

Get what? Koinigg's crash? He ran off track due to suspenion failure and the car crashed into the ARMCO barrier(This isn't the actual barrier, just an example). The bottom part of it wasn't properly secured, and the car went through. The top part of the barrier remained intact, and effectivly sliced the car's top off. Koinigg was decapitated from the impact. In the photo, you can clearly see Koinigg's headless corpse in the cockpit, and a black sphere towards the rear of the car. This is his helmet, with his head in it.

:vomit: Ah. Such a terrible way to go. I can't imagine the terror of seeing the barrier approaching; or even being the first man on scene and seeing that. I just hope it was quick and painless, which it appears it was. That's quite a disturbing photo to say the least.

Depends on your stomach. For perspective, the car before:

I've seen the photo. It really brings forth a tsunami of emotions I couldn't begin to explain. Sadness, depression, sickness, etc. It is such a horrible way to go out, but one thing is certain, like all motorsport deaths, he died doing what he loved.

For those curious and brave enough, the gut-wrenching newspaper photo mentioned above. You've been warned:

Quote from mrspeed21 :

sorry for that , didin't know that i can't use it this way , i never wanted to steal somebody work or something like that , just did it by ignorance
sorry again

Thank you for your cooperation.

*sigh*

Another one... /facepalm

1.You can't edit that skin...

2.You didn't even ask my permission to edit it, and did it anyways...

3.You did a God-awful job of editing it...

4.You attempted to credit me and failed...


Hopefully this was caused by pure ignorance instead of disregard for copyright law. Just delete it, and don't use it; and next time, ask first. You can't imagine how annoying it is to put multiple hours of work into something to have someone desecrate it like that.. Sorry if I come off rude, but this drives me up the wall.

I surely hope so. It really is a stunning wheel and I'd hate to see it go to waste. Best of luck to you.

Well, when the actual wheel on the car costs around 40000 euros, did you expect to get a replica for 100? I'm sorry you got screwed, but such a nice product would never be that cheap.

Oh yea, it was a good watch for sure. I was laughing most of the race.

It was such unfamiliar territory for all of them. It was pretty stupid if you ask me.

The softer compounds needed for rain tires would be destroyed by the stock cars. Too much force goes into the tires, and the car weighs so much, that they wouldn't last more than a few laps. Nationwide used them in Montreal last year, but it was more a publicity stunt than anything else. Of course, nothing beats Edwards cleaning his windshield with a Swiffer.

Nice one Ice. Bout damn time you settled down.

/facepalm

Don't get me started on rain tires...

I agree that it was Vicker's fault for that crash, but it wasn't the crash that was the worst part IMO, it's the fact that NASCAR has gotten in the habit of making things up as they go. This year, race called on account of rain at 6PM; strange considering they raced at 2AM to finish the 500 a few years ago...

Thanks.
