I have never seen a F1 car take off when going into a spin. The only times I saw them take off was due to contact.
Please dont compare stock car behaviour like in NASCAR with F1 behaviour.

Hm, no, not that I know off. Basic concept: The Intel Racing Tour uses a version of LFS for offline open-to-everyone events in which people can qualify for a grand finale. In that finale the qualified drivers race for a BMW M6 given as prize.
If they are lapped, they get a blue flag. If they aren't lapped, why should they let you pass?
There is no need to insult people, André. Unless you cant get your point across by argumentative means, of course.
The way for faster drivers to go around slower ones is to be careful and make a safe pass. Not to blow horns.
r4ptor: you have the overview map to see where cars are. Use it.

What people forget is that real F1 cars are nowadays constructed with the TC in mind, meaning that the engineers can be more aggressive on the general layout of the car knowing that the driver is helped by the TC.
It's not just to make it easier, it's there to make it quicker by using a more aggressive setup and still keeping it controllable. I am sure we will see some very quick setups in the next couple of weeks that will be totally uncontrollable without TC and that would be just like in real life.

As Woz said, we should not expect power oversteer will be gone after the update. Afterall, that is part of reallife and if you floor it too hard, well then you will have to pay for it.
I expect a change in the behaviour AFTER the tire lost lateral grip and how it comes back to you. I don't expect it to build up unlimited lateral grip, which would be more wrong than it used to be.

Right. Michelin and Bridgestone must have gotten their tire physics wrong. What other reason would be there that F1 uses TC?
You can only test drive the setup, you cannot get the setup out of the replay.
If the front is higher than the back, you can delete it. Quite simple. 
No. Engine braking does not spin the wheels. Downshifting at the wrong revs locks the wheels for a very short moment which might get your rear lose.
Always has been. Even in the MRT before S2 Alpha.
You guys are right (I just checked), unfortunately there was no news in the intl. sections, just the German one. I'll remind the responsible folks to consider posting such news internationally as well in future.
There was a new database server installed (serverpark consists of 21 webservers and 3 database servers now with a combined ram of 36gb for the three database servers).

).If you had looked at the news yesterday, you would know that upgrades are being undertaken this morning.
The daily downtime is btw noted in the terms of use, had you looked at them you would know about it. It is done so the calculation of all the leagues (including LFS UK) can be done much quicker and with less hinderance for the users during the rest of the day. It takes place early in the morning because that's the time the least amount of users are online during that time.
Do you know any other page with 400.000+ active users and a few thousands operatins a day which influence leagues of more than 10.000 participants? It's not like the database only consists of a simple forum where entries only have to be added but do not influence other entries. Take the big leagues like Counterstrike: In Germany several 10.000 users play the CS 1on1 ladder. If only one match takes place, this influences the whole ladder. Do this calculation during regular daytime activity and you would know what slowness on a page really is.

Wtf? Who gave you permission to do that? Hah, I knew it! Noone. So why do you think you can simply do that?
Bah, the youth of today...no respect for the..oehm, themselves?
Very sad to hear that, hope you guys stay around anyways.

Touring car series use it widely. WTCC, BTCC, DTM (okay, DTM is a prototype series, but they call it touring ). FIA GT also uses it.
Using the passengers is a bit much of ballast, they weigh what? 75 or 80kg? Depending on the series, 100kg is the max, in DTM it is even less (20kg). Besides, how do you put a passenger in a GTR car?

Yeah, Tweak, just send me the money and I will take care of it.
Sorry, Aly, no I can't. And even if I could I probably wouldn't be allowed to.
According to Mika, the organizer for the stream, they will have 500 slots with an option for more.
There will be videos of it to download on the ESL site later on. Can't guarantee it will be before Xmas, but they will be there.
ESL Pro Series Season VII Finals - Live via Stream

Okay, call it a spoiler then. Fact is that it is there to reduce lift, which was generated in excess by the spoilerless shape of the body before the spoiler was added. The shape without spoiler very closely relates to an airplane wing which is not a good idea for a car in general, which Ferdinand Piech already found out in Le Mans with the Langheck-917.
No. The original TT created lift at the rear end which made it wash out in hispeed corners. Talk about wing shaped body. A wing like it is put on the TT cannot reduce downforce, that would be contradicting its purpose. You would have to mount it in a way that it channels the airflow to the ground to create lift which is what you definetely don't want on a car at any place and time.
However, the RAC is not suffering from aero problems since there is no aero for non-downforce car in LFS. It is suffering from suspension geometry problems.
Then why didn't they do that in the ESCC? Come on Vykos, you are better than that cheap pseudo-flaming.
