Given that I have a Space Exam tomorrow, I probably should Apparently NASA are broadcasting it from their Hawaiian base on NASA TV tonight - that's what I'm going to watch it on (probably!)

Quote from RiseAgainstMe! :

I love when the live race action that I paid for, and spent all weekend supporting, then waited around for almost 2 hours, is cut short by TV coverage. Wonderful.

Yeah I didn't quite get that - they'd run out of time on whatever channel it was broadcast on for the West Coast before the race even restarted and on the East Coast just after that, so don't quite know why they couldn't just keep it on ESPN News (channel they moved it to) for the rest of the race

I'm guessing somehow it's $$$.

There's actually copyright on the NDR Rule Book - you can't do that

You can tell the small amounts that haven't been directly copied and pasted by the fact the spelling and grammar is wrong

More cautions..... worse than LFS

Going green and it's starting to rain. 13 lap sprint (or might be 14 depending on how many SC laps counted....)

Yeah I watched the last 45 mins or so, pretty good race! And the GT RX-8 sounds orgasmic

Quote from TexasLTU :

Scirocco? Rockingham? BMW Sauber (BF1)? RAC? These are based on real car models, not look alikes (as all the remaining cars in LFS are, tracks are fictional).

Yes. They were all free.

BF1 is from a deal with Intel, VWS as discussed a deal with VW for the Leipzig Convention, Rockingham and RAC I've no idea.

I'd go for something like:

-----------Hart--------------
Johnson - Terry - Cahill - Cole
---Jones---Gerrard - Parker---
Walcott/O-C--------Young
----------Rooney------------



For the group games when Rooney is suspended we'll need Carroll to hold up the ball probably for Gerrard playing inbetween.


-----------Hart--------------
Johnson - Terry - Cahill - Cole
O-C------Parker--------Milner
----------Gerrard-----------
-------Carroll---Welbeck----

OMG THIS IS SO AWESOME!!!!!



Definitely now failing my exam tomorrow - SO COOL! Thanks for sharing

You guys don't have speed camera warning signs?!?! :O

Although to be fair here they have to put them anywhere there are speedcameras, and anywhere there could be a mobile site, so maybe 80% of the time you see a sign, there isn't one

Quote from G!NhO :

Me an my girlfriend.

Who's the random girl then?

Quote from Bmxtwins :

Any chance I was racing for position when I was holding you up. Or maybe just spinning lol

No I'm pretty sure you just wanted the glory of lapping your brother

Quote from Eiw :

oh well, yea yea, right before the start-finish line, but I can't understand why I squeezed you, maybe my bad instinct? or I just didn't noticed until the contact, sorry.

It's ok it wasn't that bad. It was pretty obvious it wasn't deliberate so yeah

Quote from Yuri Laszlo :

Lag crash.

Kobayashi flying:

Quote from CSF :

Looked to me like Perez did a pretty normal Monaco pit entry, but meh .

Actually to be fair Vettel took the exact same line. And Perez wouldn't have forseen Kimi being on his inside on the exit. Should probably enforce pit entry blend line there or something.

Quote from CSF :

E: Wat that pen is shocking.

That's what I first thought, but when you see the replay he's basically on the racing line right until he turns across.

RAIN COMING i

Oh wow Kovalainen is still infront of Button

Quote from S3ANPukekoh3 :

I switch over to sky once the race starts, and back after for the forum best of both worlds.

That's probably what I would do, it's just Sky's commentary isn't quite better enough for me to make the effort, I quite like Ben Edwards

And BBC just had a hilarious segment where Jenson was presenting and Lewis was being TV Director. Hence why I watch BBC and not Sky

Quote from Eiw :

sorry, no you didn't had a couple of incidents with me.

actually we had only one contact while I was overtaking you, you should have seen me on the right, but you kept closing the door. but anyway that didn't cost either of us anytime

I don't remember any contact when you were overtaking me during the second half of the race, that was fine It was more the contact when I was battling with Kapal and Mocanu towards the start of the race over the start-finish line

Quote from TexasLTU :

I had an incident with Eiw in T1 at one point of the race, probably lost quite a lot then.

Yes I had a couple of incidents with him too

Once again can't manage a single race day without some kind of major fail from me!!

Managed a mediocre first lap in qualifying, then when I came into the pits my laptop started to majorly overheat and so the frame rate dropped to about 5 FPS. Managed to just about park it in a stall and waited for it to cool down. Ran downstairs to get some compressed air - half to clear out any dust and half just to cool it. After being sat there for a few mins the frame rate went back to normal and I was on my way. Did another mediocre lap before it decided to do it again right before pit entry. Just about managed to negotiate my way into a pit box before deciding to spec and have a proper look at it. Shut down, took the back off and liberally applied compressed air in various places then left the back off for the race.

Started about 20th on the grid, but knew that my "real" pace was probably just on the verges of the top 10, so figured I could probably make a few places. Got a good start, stayed on the inside through the first corner. Ended up being about 4 wide down the straight but backed out to avoid a schmozzle. After various crashes and the SC I was about 9th I think, ended up having a really good battle with #15 (whose name I can't remember, sorry) and Martin for quite a few laps. Martin seemed to have really good drive out of T1 then be really quick down the straight which was kinda annoying. He end up getting past and pulled away whilst I was stuck behind #15 for ages. I finally got past but by this point Martin was quite a way ahead of me, and by the look of our gaps he was pushing pretty hard because even when I started to go for it he was still extending the gap. But he was obviously pushing too hard because he "did a Hamilton" and got stuck in the smallest gravel trap in the world

I think I was 8th now, I had Terzic catching me up pretty quickly which I kinda assumed was going to happen anyway, so didn't really put up much of a fight. Was in a good rhythm by this point so he didn't pull away too quickly, which was quite nice for me Pit stop went well and ended up in the same place as before, easy 8th place. #15 seemed faster after the pit stops so he started catching me but once I'd got the tyres back up to temp I could maintain the gap. There was about a 25s gap to Gasiunas infront, but that suddenly went down to about 12 with about 12 laps to go (I assume he span?) so I started to push quite hard and got the gap down to about 6 by the end I think? So very happy with 8th overall, especially as I spent most of my time on the back straight squirting compressed air into the air inlet to make sure my laptop didn't overheat Probably would have been fine but I'd done so much practice I didn't want it to go to waste Most people were pretty good under blues, apart from Ray who held me up then made me burst out laughing for almost a whole lap when Matt took him out right infront of me Sorry to I think it was Goik who I managed to make overtaking me into the most awkward moment ever since Ellis didn't go inside Probably should have waited for the straight there
