Did not like anything about it.
Downloading. If I don't like it I will hold you directly responsible.
There are still some things smartwatch struggles to do. Reading messages is fine and one handed user experience is not a problem either imho. Smaller screen is not really a problem either. Smartphones however do have cameras and don't need any additional devices for making phone calls. You can't take selfies without camera. And to make a phonecall with smartwatch you need some kind of headset (I think). Which means that if you forget the headset home you can't make phonecalls. Which also means you need to carry more stuff with you.
The best benefit of smartwatch is that it is very difficult to forget into your car. Unless you have detachable hand.

I got an email from fanatec too about that base. Too bad my old wheel still functions 100% so unless I break it on purpose I don't have any good excuse to invest 1000€ for wheel+base combo...
500£ to be moderator on their forum... probably not the smartest way to get competent moderators 
Too much randomness. Enemy has 1 unit in base and I attack with 4 and I lose 3 units and enemy loses none. Next turn I have one unit in base and enemy has 3 units attacking and they lose none and I lose base. First two games I played were fun but then it was just annoying...
Boring race imho. Cars driving in single line in full tire and fuel saving mode for the most part of the race. In the end the anticlimatic drs pass by hamilton was really the crowning on the cake. Definitely a race to forget. Vergne did look really good though
Why it did not worky?
Ah religion part of the debate!
Religion = Unfalsibiality
If religions were real I'd instantly call an excorcist to come pay me a visit and chant some spells at my computer. I'd probably still remove my hard drives first...

Both images work just fine for me??
The Fat1 drivers thing was imo funnier:

I have no idea. I probably need to get rid of it.
Maybe the radio ban is not so daft idea if we think about it from the perspective how drivers save fuel and tires during the race. When the driver does not have computer calculate the required lap time and strategy to catch someone in front (and basically come to the conclusion that it is not worth it) the driver may end up pushing for the position much more often? Maybe we see cars running out of fuel as a consequence but also more racing to catch the guy in front? From tv pov it doesn't really make much difference whether the driver catches the guy in front or not but the idea of chasing down someone is exciting already in itself. Also when drivers need to drive at certain pace to keep the strategy working we probably see more situations where the strategy doesn't work out because the driver pushed too hard or not enough..
What makes it still very stupid is that you basically need to learn the rulebook just so you know why the teams are not telling the drivers to do some obvious things...

It is just impractical that I need to write the password manually instead of using copypaste like in every other game I've ever played. It is not 25 letters because I'm paranoid. I just rolled my hand over the keyboard and 25 letters long password is what I got. I already changed it to 5 letters long password.
I did not think it was purely horrible though. All the cars I tried drove the same though. Massive understeer going into turns and some oversteer coming out. And that awesome braking feel? Basically floor the brake pedal and then lift it off slightly when you are down to 3rd gear. Brake too hard and you understeer. It is essentially another iteration of gtr without scripted spins raised from the dead and brought into 2014 with a time machine.
The sounds are great.
The menus are utter shit. You cant even copy paste your password into the login menus so my indestructible 25 character random password was a pain to write. There are no tooltips so you just need to be one of the 3 people in the world who knows what "analog sector1" and return "multiplier means". Personally I think those settings are some kind of insider joke. There is also the worst field of view slider ever created in this game. Instead of degrees it is just a multiplier of 1.0x. You can make it more or less. Why not do it properly? Probably another insider joke... There is also random unresponsiveness with the menu buttons. Sometimes it takes seconds before the game registers your button press. And loading times are slow. Although the first time the game loaded took ages but 2nd time was faster. I'm running it from my slow storage hdd and ssd so that could be causing it.
Anyways I made better menus in uni for a basic programming course homework and it didn't even need to have any menus. Honestly I could make better menus out of cheese with chainsaw. The default track is kinda meh. Two chicanes and the rest of the corners are just massive understeer zones.
For what it is (gt5/6 gt cars on pc) it is not bad. Realism wise it is there with the gt5/6 gt cars with road tires. Understeer going into turns, oversteer coming out. Some throttle control but mostly very shallow experience. No depth in the cars at all. Unlike in ac with the ferrari 458 for example it first understeers into corners but once you start learning it it is just perfect car going into turns. There is no build up. The cars feel the same at 20mph and 200mph no matter if you are 10 s off the pace or 5s.
And that is with the highest realism setting. I was feeling what the cars were doing though and except for the massive push everywhere there really weren't any wtf moments. I turned all graphics to low and I was happily back in the 1998. Gotta catch all dem fps.
I was also getting massive lag at least with the throttle pedal. I could floor the pedal and then lift off before the revs even started rising in the car. Steering did not feel laggy so maybe it is just the random isi engine bugs (iirc you need to calibrate your wheel and pedals in certain order or you get lag).
Nobody at online to race with if you want to race with anything else than the lowest difficulty setting. There is only one track and you need to pay to get more. Doesn't even look like you can grind any content. This isn't even f2p game. It is a demo where you can/have to buy dlc or episodes to eventually get the full game.
I think I'll try it again later just to see what the online is like.
edit. LMAO!!! I just tried online and only thing that is available was novice race. You are forced to have all aids on when driving. It automatically brakes into corners, there is auto gearbox and corner markers on the screen. And it also tries to force you to use chase cam but you can atleast change that. LMAO are they kidding? :d what a joke.
LMAO2: I got into my first "get real" race. And I was forced to use auto gears...
It is fun to drive imho! Not a sim but definitely fun imho. The canhardt car is fun around the default track. It is kinda snappy but very controllable. Easier than gt5. The game has some serious issues though. And I mean serious.
Troy if you tried the hillclimb beemer you probably tried the worst car in the game. It is not a fun car imho.

Well since it is free2play I decided to give it a go. Downloading atm. 15minutes left, 9gig download. Since I'm a distinguished rfactor fanboi I'm sure my opinion is extremely valuable for y'all. 
Almost correctamundo!
Some more feature suggestions:
1. If (when writing a message) I highlight an url in my post that points to an image (ends with .png/jpg/gif(/bmp?)) and I then click the Image button (4th button from right above the text field when writing a message) it should automatically add the [ img ] tags instead of asking the url for the image when it is already highlighted.
2. And make it do that with url links too. If I highlight this: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/86391 (it is obviously a link as it has dots and /s in it) and click the Link it should automatically add the [ url ] tags on it instead of asking the url. Unless the highlighted selection is not a link in which case I'm trying to do this: random text I've highlighted.
3. Another feature that would be nice is to upload images directly from some other url and use them as attachments here instead of manually downloading them from the internets and then uploading to lfsforum as an attachment. It is a bit controversial option though..
The negative is that it may increase the amount of images stored on the lfsforum servers. Other downside is that it may be complex to do (but at least most photosharing sites can do it for the majority of images). It is also stealing traffic from other sites. But vice versa it can save some site from having to deal with the traffic. Naturally sites that run ads generally suffer from it but sites that don't like online stores (for the most part) and personal sites don't really.
Positives is that it prevents some sites from replacing the image with some very.. uhm.. questionable images when it is being hotlinked ( =reduces moderation workload tiny tiny bit). It also makes it easier to store the images and keep very old threads viewable in the future. Links to rsc or even most sites before 2012 not to mention 05-08 can lead to 404 instead of the linked image which can be annoying if the image shows some setting or workaround for a problem.
One way around the hotlinking problem is that if you directly load an image from the url the original url could be shown below the image for the image even if the image is loaded from lfs servers despite being uploaded originally from some other url.
4. when I resize the text field while writing this message and I click "Preview post" it should remember that I resized the text field and not use the default text field size.
5. Could the text bacground color be something else than white when I'm replying to a post. Numerous times already I'm repplying to a post and I keep clicking the text only to figure out after few clicks that the editable text is below and I'm trying to place the mouse cursor on the preview..
6. ^did it again argh...
7. Where are all the smileys?
