Quote from Mustafur :All compounds are significantly harder then last years equilivents.

But weather, time of day, and we don't know the exact specifications of the tyre. It's not as simple as soft vs hard.

Also, In 2013, despite more development and showing their full hand Barcelona test times in March were faster than the qualifying times set during the GP weekend.

Add in the restricted fuel rate the cars are still going to be pretty slow. Especially compared to 2004.

They had warmer temps and harder tyres at last years race so it's not a like for like comparison.

Same could be said for 90% of the rest of the grid too. Considering he hasn't had millions spent on prior to racing cars like the rest I think he's doing pretty damn well.

Quote from Mustafur :But then the Neo Socialists will have to endure an advertisement.

AFAIK HBO don't run adverts.

Quote from Forbin :For every Game of Thrones, there are a dozen more like Jersey Shore, Desperate Housewives, 16 and Pregnant, Toddlers and Tiaras, etc.

US TV programming is primarily focused upon mass-market appeal, which more often than not means dumbing everything down to absurdly simplistic levels. I don't even have a TV subscription, mostly because I simply don't watch many programs, but also just sifting through all the garbage is such a major chore it's not even worth my time.

That's not unique to US. There are plenty of dumbed down shows in the UK. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00yl1vf etc...

South Park

Game of Thrones
Arrested Development
F1 2014 (Fully Live)
MotoGP 2014 Live

Mad Men
Homeland (Season 1)
Brass Eye
Boardwalk Empire
The West Wing
The Daily Show
etc... etc... etc...

Thank god we have Flog It, Mock The Week, Eastenders, BDO Darts, World Bowls Championship and Miranda to saves us from that sort of rubbish TV.

The TV licence means the BBC has to produce a ton of shit to satisfy its public remit. The current model means the BBC can't make shows like 80% of the ones listed above. Make it private, make it subscription (its going to happen eventually because no one is insane enough to try and introduce an internet licence), give them freedom to invest in proper TV drama, comedy and documentary and we might get some decent output that could rival The Wire (I know it's a cliché and wallowy to talk about The Wire, but there is NOTHING the BBC have ever produced that could ever come close to the quality of that show... nothing) etc... Overall funding MAY fall, but they wouldn't be investing in stupid projects like Salford either and the could invest in some proper shit.

Not even that. It's an 'affiliation' role. Unless an F1 tean is committing to a race seat then as a driver your being used. I can't imagine this sort of publicity for what is a non-role in any other industry

I got so-so quick in the GT 12c on iRacing, and I found myself having to use weird tricks to go fast that definitely weren't realistic. Just felt like you were driving on ice half the time. The way you had to rotate the car before the apex. it reminded of the ridiculous lap records on LFS. Though LFS these quirks only appear right at the shape end of WR world. Just because something is hard to get used to doesn't mean it's more realistic.

Drive a modern car and try to ignore every piece of feedback you don't get in a sim and they do feel absolutely dead. So naturally in a sim some cars will feel dead.

With Assetto Corsa, everything seems to correlate well with my (admitadly limited) real world experience

Quote from Racer X NZ :Hello.......
TV franchise that's focused on making money for the shareholders.
If you don't like it, cool, it clearly others do, and they make money from what their doing.
It's a laugh, if your paying to watch it, WHY ?, it's just yet another tv program. Not as good as South Park, better than most of the rest.

The BBC doesn't have shareholders, it's publicly funded by a TV Licence fee.

You watch it... I pay for it... great deal

Pikey's Peak and then a rubbish look at the P1 pushed me over the edge. I used to say the same things as you last series

yes yes, everyone knows that. We know it's a scripted entertainment program. But that doesn't mean the car reviews should be boring and uninspiring.

As expected. Didn't actually see any of the car. Just a bunch of shaky cam and dash cam and heli shots.

If god's plan includes child abuse then he is implicit in that action, thus negating his own existence. He would have to send himself to hell, if this is all part of his plan.

There are so many philosophical hypocrisies in organised religion its barely worth even starting to highlight them. The fact that religious people need the promise of heaven to reward their selfless behaviour or worship, thus making that selfless behaviour actually selfish, is one that I find amusing. Surely for someone to be truly selfless they can't be influenced by the word of god? Again, however all this is pointless to argue.

I happen to be agnostic, but I would hope any unfortunate person that happens to have suffered child abuse please read this please note - it is NOT god's plan. That's complete and utter bollocks.

Quote from Racer Y :I dunno. Never really thought about it like that.

"Can you really "Not believe" in God and "not believe" also in the absence of a God?"
Sure. Why not? I been telling God he don't exist for decades now.

It's being called agnostic.

Quote from Mustangman759 :gonna go ahead and rank the top 3 ugliest F1 cars of all time
1. Caterham
2. Force India
3. Lotus

Redbull did a good job masking it with the black color so it looks normal at least.
Although, Lotus gets the most unique design award for sure

fixed

If the forks were even they'd be illegal so being uneven makes sense if this design is accurate. Also Lotus would be pissing off plenty of journalists and media by posting fake images. if that's a game they want to play it won't end well.

and here's another pic confirmed that the uneven nose is indeed correct.
