This is like a RL "cost limitation", but all we can spend is time fiddling with the setup. Give closer races, and prevent uber setup users.
I personally would go mad if I had to race some setups, but I like the option anyway.
Question: I think this is already possible for a series, with setup scrutineering via the replay?

Are you really storing them standing? The only leak I get from mine are the few drops that loop the edge when ending a pour (these few drops can fill the whole surface of the bottle and the carpet in the trunk too) If you want to store them lying, you need rubber gasket on hte cap, and a rubber that is resistant to hydraulic oils.
I would suggest you store them in a square plastic bucket (or a cut up old plastic jeep-can) And keep a pair of rubber gloves there so they can be as messy they like.

You dont consider simracing a mental exercise? Then youre doing it wrong.
As for physical exercise crank up the FFB and do some offroad, paint some skins for arts.
It's fun to see that they produce more that lawsuits, press releases and marketing material. Oh, this still fits the genre... Doh!.....
It's actually a bit cheaper than I expected (but comes back to what I expected considering extra content that "you just heve to own") I payed eur80+eur160 in total for MCO (to put things in perspective).
But it will have to be awsomely good for me to spend anything since I don't like them after they killed the nr2003 mod scene. (Were talking physics better than nkPro)

We did some experiment where we put a flake of some karbide in a test tube and dripped some liquid on it (acid maybe), and it expanded to over fill the tube and ooze alot. Except for one group who mumbled that all the karbide they measured diddn't fit in the tube and that they diddn't have enough liquid (prolly miscalculated milli for mega or something). Luckily, I laghued so hard in anticipation of the fireworks that the Teacher payed the group a visit and sent them study theory instead.
Thats where the option should be, not in every game/app.
+1 This is a must have in the far future, I'd say time is right just after implementation of cigaret lighter and rear window demist. (only on cars that are likely to have it in RL ofcourse)
I just got a link to a new shoutcast server playing only c64 sid music, but they have limited bandwidth so I will not tell you which
I will tell you about slay radio insted, they have good bandwidth and plays only c64 remixes (and a few nes remixes to spice it up)

So F1 cars are also a modified road car by your definition? (Just checkning)
What a suprise, the guy in green wins again :-)
After hearing what he thinks about 4wd/awd I think the handbreak is to get the damn thing to turn. (a few hundred hp too few to use powerslides to cancel out the understeer on that track)

Congratulations! (I hope you will afford an orange charger in the future)
Interesting please explain the "grading" and what it permits/restricts. We dont have anything like that here, I think, we got probational license (stated on the license only) the first two years, if you lose it during that period you have to do a full relicense with theory and practical. (My license came with a postit on the back stating it was probational, that postid diddnt stay there many minutes I can admit now)

DTM is nowhere near a touring car series (in my defeinition of a touring car = somewhat similar to the road car it mimics). It is however one of the best touring car series, to be better it should steal some of the ideas from V8SC. DTM is almost a one make series, and thats a good thing.
1. Stricter homoglation rules to make all cars even more equal (regardless of what the carbon fiber shell looks like)
2. Forbid the "works" teams. Make all merc/audi drivers fight on equal standig without team orders affecting more then the other driver of the team.
3. Skip the old cars, I like the idea of permitting budget teams, but arbitrary weight penalties only give a unfair advantage to the lucky team that gets less weight than their car deservs. Q: What happens currently if an old car wins the series? A: it gets penalty weight added long before that happens.
Trying to look at WTCC would be a failure since wtcc is a farce due to the homoglation lottery (you might think all cars are built to the same spec but that is not the case)
More teams to DTM could be good, it could also be disaster.

What sold me was the first time I tried the hothatch (was it in the first version?), finally a racing game with realistic fwd. The rest of the physics wasnt detailed enouth for me to think I needed to own the full version (I did try it every other patch or so) until mid s2 when the tyre physics took a giant leap forward.
LFS biggest strength is the agile development method. Release early -release often. And the teams ability to keep the overall quality even, postponing features until they fit in the concept. Even when I diddn't like the game (so much) I knew that it would become good if they continued. (I also like that they can afford to skip cheesy effects like falling off parts)
The pricing is also awsome, I know I can't be fooled buying an obsolete product, since what I own gives discount on the next version. If I was a demo drifter I could skip two beers at the pub and get the precious XRT (disregarding the fact that most demo drifters are too young to buy beer at the pub)

As I understand it, the staff is empolyed by a sub contractor choosen by lowest bidder by a sub contractor choosen by lowest bidder by a sub contractor choosen by lowest bidder (yes, in that many levels)
This ofcourse means that the only staff they can afford are those rejected from mcdonalds. It's not their fault they act heartless and brainless, they are wisely forbidden to initiate any thinking, their superiors are supposed to do that.

Avon, like my own car. (but I usually don't change whatever was default)
I saw a rally cross race where they talked to the driver the full race, and the driver was talking mostly, and won. (It was the top class)
Maybe this is the stuff to have, it has got fans for the wind in the hair effect and a rumble bracelet.

It was the FZ50 but I dont like it's power curve after Y. I do however like the LX6 alot more than before Y. And the XRT is pretty nice too.
Current winner: LX6, light has decent amounts of power, has no roof (gives me alot better feel for small slides)

Don't asume they are cosmetic. I saw a vid about the wrc impreza and the vertical bars in the rear spoiler produced significant amounts of downforce at lower speeds (as I remember it, it was 20% more but i'm bad at remembering numbers) obviously without generating heaps of drag in the process.
The small fins _might_ do wonders with the turbulence, they do have a spiffy name "vortex generator".
But I will not try to cut through gigabytes of marketing speak and journalist bs to find the truth about then as Im not in the market to buy a new evo.
Some hiphop but I mostly hate rap, but Immortal Techniqe was awsome live though.
Taste is quite similar to TS also, de la soul was my entrance ticket to hiphop (and the swedish Just D).
Mostly Dj Shadow, The Herbaliser but the best is Las Palmas (swedish)
(my current music fad since a year back is not hip-hop but Stoner-Doom by Electric Wizard (sounds like drugged up black sabath in slowmotion))

-1 The cars are good as they are. If you add hp to make them modern you need to add a few 100kg euro ncap required steel too. (all this has already been said in the thread)
But I wouldn't mind club sport versions of the road cars (slightly tuned engines with trim removed for less weight) still running on road_super though or maybe road_ultra, not slicks.

The book is a total waste of time, I did read it alot as a kid but realised its better to spend that time learning something useful instead of a new way to define a record.
Facts are useless unless they give insight.

I like the idea of equal chances for drivers to win (opposed to driver/engineer-personalities) but there are problems with the normal locked-setup scheme.
Alien/moran setup - Often the fastest driver gets to choose the setup, this seams fair but fails becuase then it will be a alien setup, undrivable for anyone human (probably undrivable for other aliens as well). The same goes for when the entrepreneur ambitious enough to organize a series creates the setup, a task which he is noob at. Sollution to this could be to release a few setups before and all vote on which to use (this takes alot of time). Using RACE_S or DEFAULT is kind of good but they are horrible at some tracks.
The locked/editable setup scheme is a good way to simulate a homoglated series, but I would say that it should go as far as to permit limiting the ranges on some settings. But is you with hidden mean secret, thats silly becuase it would only be secret to computer illiterates.
Another topic is how to create a close series where the good drivers has to risk DNF in fights with the wreckers. Here I like the idea of a series where the grid position is in reversed championship order (all places must give points for this to work), also you can skip qualifying. But I don't like weight penalties etc. becuase it usually means that whoever wins the series is probably not the best driver in the best car. It is however useful at fixing errors in the homogaltion process (where two cars that are supposed to be equal aren't)
+1 Nice feature that I hope will be implemented in a year or two from now.
