Quote from Mustafur :Understatement of the year.

If someone else wins it will down to the driver not the car(eg. weather)

As far as I can recall, Button is quite good in the rain, so it will be interesting to see what happens.

Quote from aroX123 :Poll added, please vote for what you think, dont vote for the guy on 20th or anything like that, or for what you hope for. I THINK Vettel will win.

Sutil of course.

Quote from TexasLTU :New front wing just don't help.

Only if you count Button/Barrichello on pole/2nd place by default.

Little close up in the tyre deformation here. Think you have seen it though.

It looks incredibly sexy in the video, and it gives me good hope that they've moved the game forward both in terms of content as well as physics. I can't wait for it really, just as I can't wait for GT5. I'm sure I'll be spending quite some time with both.

Seriously... GT5 being released on anything other than a Playstation is only slightly less likely than a Mario or Zelda game appearing on anything other than a Nintendo system. (hurr durr Zelda CD-i, I know, don't go there ;p)

It's just not the same as other exclusives going multi-platform, since Polyphony is a subsidiary of Sony.

Quote from tristancliffe :I see. Well, she will be pleased!!!!

I have been given the task of creating a database of her characters. She really gets into it, and gives them dates of birth, and family trees and all sorts. So I'm having to relearn Access to make it for her

Personally, I just like trying to make a sim sleep with as many different people as possible! I create WooHoo addicts Oh, and I like making houses, but get bored decorating them... The Sims isn't really my sort of game

Actually, unfortunately other families do age as you play with a family in the same town. When I was playing with my second 'family' I was quite shocked to see my first guy walk past as an old man, and eventually he apparantly adopted a daughter and sort of died off. That's the cool part though, sims seem to have quite a strong urge to reproduce, or leave some other young sim in their footsteps, so the town doesn't die out after a couple of generations. There are quite some options to reduce or even disabling aging in the game though, so there's no lack of control in that department.

I must be the most horribly boring sims-player in the world though. I just keep the speed at x3 and only slow it to queue up short actions, then I powergrind skills, careers, families and offspring in a feeble attempt to 'beat' an unbeatable game

My last guy (force-bred to be a boy and he had his mother quite specifically selected, basically) had max logic, writing and painting before reaching the young adult stage, and 100% of the time he was on the honor roll throughout all phases of school. His dad made 150.000 per week in book royalties at the peak of his career, so that's a good start for building an evil mansion :>

Quote from SilverArrows77 :Yes! I hate going to the hairdressers for this very reason lol! The forced, almost scripted, coversations when i would much rather they just do their job and let me get out of there...

It's fully scripted over here. How do I know? I've had the 100% exact same conversation with my barber about 4-5 times now. They just don't remember me and ask the same goddamn things every single time. I'll have to go again soon, I just can't wait!

Quote from Bob Smith :And keep in mind I've got a 256 megapixel image from hubble that I could probably make your browser crash with. But lets not have such a childish and wasteful competition.

If I wanted to have a pissing contest I would have posted the picture instead of making the statement, I was just making a light-hearted poke at Bose for posting a giant picture

Is that 256mp hubble image a picture of the ultra deep field by the way? I'd like to see it for purposes other than a pissing contest

Quote from Intrepid :I for one don't like the idea of telling people what they can and can't do . Whether this bloke is racist or not I don't know. But I think it's in very BAD taste and judgement to act like he did

I'm inclined to agree. I'm nor sure whether or not it's racist, or whether the guy had racist intentions or not, but I can tell you with absolute certainty that a guy looking like that would get the absolute shit kicked out of him if he approached a group of black people here.

The way to break the taboo of race and racism isn't to mock it imo, you have to let it go altogether...

I think the whole BMW car for this season is quite possibly the most un-aesthetically pleasing thing ever created

I love the SRF really, but the lack of tracks still bugs me. Mind you, I love Jefferson and Laguna, but I'd also love some Infineon

Like Linsen I'm A-licenced though, so there's really no need for me to race up, or even, or whatever. The Mazda, Radical and DP are all a bit dull to me, and the racing is just less fun. On the oval side... I just don't commit to anything, but race whatever seems fun

Quote from amp88 :Exactly. You can get 5 packs of Extra chewing gum for the same price as 3 single packs normally. You can buy 4 packs of 500 ml bottles of Coke/Diet Coke for the same price as 3 single bottles. Buy next week's supply on the weekend (or the Friday night on the way home from work) when you're not rushing to get somewhere. It makes absolutely no sense to go the supermarket every day for the same couple of items unless you need something fresh (like a fruit/salad bowl or fresh fruit).

This.

Quote from anttt69 :Thanks for making that clear. But the system can be exploited. You could drive a race pushing people off the track with a well placed nudge & win by effectively cheating. You only stand to loose SR & reputation.

There are very harsh consequences for systematically cheating like this though

One protest you might survive, but when you start making a name for yourself with such actions you'll get the banstick quite quickly, so it's not really an option.

Also, if you're able to get close enough to the leader to nudge them off, you should be more than capable of overtaking them, or not?

Quote from anttt69 :Well if you ask me thats just asking for trouble.

It's just a theoretical statement: try winning a race with more than 1 spin
I just made that statement to make it clear to some people that iRating and SR are not related - you can't lose iRating for crashing, and you can't lose safety rating for finishing in a poor position.

Quote from bbman :I find the SR system so very wrong, it actually prevents good, close racing because you always have to fear a 4x contact if you slightly bump into each other...

SR will never stop me from racing people, fear of being put out of the race maybe, but SR I couldn't care less about. I know that in normal conditions I won't lose SR due to personal incidents, so everything else is just part of racing

If you're terrified of racing hard because you might lose SR, then you should rethink your strategy

Safety Rating and iRating are not connected in any way. If you finish first and have 1000 incidents you'll still gain iRating...

Quote from anttt69 :Because oval sucks & the iracing system isn't refined enough to make close calls. (it often blames the wrong racer

The SR system doesn't put blame on anyone; everyone involved gets incident points and that's the end of it.
If after 200 races you're still at 8 incidents per race or whatever, then it's absolutely impossible to blame others for that, because if you're a clean racer, most of your races will be clean.

I love the car, but still a bit gutted that we are forced to run it on the 'free' tracks. It'll get boring after one season, if not faster :\
