A very good point, Frokki. I didn't want to say anything about this as I didn't want to seem like a jerk towards an injured man and his family. But what is with the Hammond love-fest?
And don't even get me started on Steve Irwin.
Clearly, these people and their families deserve our sympathy, sure. But so do millions of others who don't get it. I find it all a bit Princess-Diana-ish, actually.
It's a fun idea, but I can't see the plus side for the devs really. If you think about it, it's probably far better for them to maintain an air of mystique and race anonymously. If they race in a well-advertised well-attended race, they'll presumably just get beaten by some aliens and have people start thinking that they're only human. (Even if the race only includes the devs themselves, people will still be watching their times.)
Worse, what if there was some sort of racing incident involving one of the devs? I'm sure they're clean drivers, of course, but what if a player wrongly felt that a dev had made deliberate contact or something? Do they need the kind of forum-based shrieking that would ensue?

I know who they are. Don't share your feelings for them
, but I know who they are.Yes, those flaps are what Maggot said, the second time. They're intended to reduce lift (i.e., keep the car on the ground) when the car is moving backwards after a spin. In the video you can probably see how light Edwards's car is at the rear when it rotates.

Now THAT I would pay to see.
OK, sorry, I take it back. I didn't mean to put you off pursuing this form of artistic expression, I was just saying that your first efforts, as they stand, didn't do a lot for me personally. But I'm sure you'll get better!
Get Eric on the case. What do you think its BL1 time would be?
Hmm. Just to play devil's advocate for a bit, it seems like you've got two such women and you don't like them much.
+1 if you can also put on a kilt and run down the main straight waving crazy religious placards in the face of certain doom.
My mother always told me that if I couldn't say anything nice, it was best to say nothing at all.
So:
Good points.
Good luck with the saving program.
A bit like the Maibatsu Thunder: "after you've been struck by lightning... there's the thunder!".
My memory could well be faulty, but I thought NR2003 did this. Anyone? MRodgers, you seem to know these things...
And OP, as someone has already said, LFS does this in a fairly conspicuous way already. Perhaps you have wind noise volume turned down and didn't notice it?
Luckily for me, I enjoy getting T-boned or shunted on the first corner, so most LFS races with large fields work out really well from my point of view. 
Awesome. Thanks for the image.
Clearly these are the eyes of Dr. T. J. Eckleburg.
I understand your point here, but I feel that given an environment in which not enough people seem to do the right thing in terms of blue flag behaviour, I want to do as much as I can to encourage someone who does play fair in this respect, so I will say "thanks" every time. (Now I just need to work on lapping people more often.)
A nice point, Kev.
I wonder how much we could tell about someone's race personality by looking at what their chat bindings are? I'd be leery of anyone whose chat bindings include the word "noob" (double points if in all-caps), any more than one exclamation mark, or indeed the phrase "blue flag".
Did anyone else spot some real hypocrisy from JA at Monza? The director cut away from a shot he was commenting on (presumably involving Jenson Button) and he said petulantly "It's about time they got a director that understood something about Formula One."
Wow. Mr. Pot, meet Mr. Kettle.

Wow: never seen this "ie" usage; will look out for examples of it in future. But is it really "widely acceptable"? Is it a Canadian / North American thing? Why have I not seen more examples?
And Todd, what can I say? Keep up the good work!
Great synth work there, Todd. You should be in Kraftwerk.
BBT, you may be interested to know that the word "apostrophe" has no "i" in it.
And Raver, punctuation helps people to understand you. Surely you want to be understood?

Absolutely. A bit heavy in the jowls? Try the meth diet!
I particularly liked the "crazy meth perm" problem that one woman seemed to be having.
