It has just been announce that the French Motorsport Federation thing (Fédération Française du Sport Automobile) said they are dropping the French GP. Lemme try to find a link/article/quote here...

EDIT: Here it is, it's due to financial dificulties. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/71421

I'm unsure about this. I guess it could be safer and all that, but IMO it's part of the sport. And I don't know what the penalties would be for refueling, but maybe some people would accept the penalty if they have a lead and to be faster.

f^%&ing ugly. Spearmint tyres ffs what next? the picture of the earth on a ca... oh.... lol

^^ Priceless.

When I read the new, I was alsol "wtf?", but anyways. I hope the race itself will be quite good, and let Kubica go through .

If I'd have the time I would, but this isn't really the case (but I dunno).

TBH, I find that ridiculous and outrageous? I heard this this morning and I couldn't believe it (I kept laughing). Yes, there might be a few problems with the track complex: deteriorating tack surface, old/small pit stalls, etc. But, this is probably one of the best tracks and best GPs in the F1 calendar. Teams and drivers love to come here for the city and track and the fans love it, so there's no point in taking it away (except $ and BernieNonsense). It's simply bad to see it go; let's hope that will change.

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

it brought the race to the fans rather than having a big car park in the middle of nowhere.

I agree. Which GP will get more people: Lost in the Bahrain deserts or in the city like Singapore (and Monaco, Melbourne and Montreal). These races are by far more entertaining, more fun to watch, and get more unplanned results. I just finished watching the entire race coverage for the Singapore GP and it was pretty good. The penalty-close-pit-lane thing is still shady, but Rosberg got himself out of it.

Ferrari has no one else to blame but themselves for the incident that happened in the pits. Without the error, they'd never would have talked about the race this way (maybe).

1280x1024 on my desktop, which is the computer I use for most of my LFS racing being where I set up my wheel. However, I run 1440x900 on my laptop (more powerful than my tower) and do use LFS from time to time, check races, skins, kb drive, etc.

There's plenty in the FO8 & FOX topics...




PS: 2006 GP2 PO FMS-I

I know that it's all in the BF1 Skins thread and the LFS Renders thread. I used search and its 8 results down.

Quote from shiny_red_cobra :

Get ANYTHING other than Intel.

Intel isn't the problem. Integrated graphics are.

I've got a nVidia GeForce 8600M GT in this laptop and works amazingly great (better than my tower (7600 GS))

Congrats! Great league and it has always been a pleasure to be part of it.

I remember that some gents made some packs back in the day, such as Gobby, but that was a 2005 IIRC. But it's possible.

Anyways, if you do ever find it and it is public, don't stay silent

First, maybe this could have been a topic for the request section.

Secondly, I do think that that may be a lot to ask for.

Thirdly, there are many decent F08 and BF1 Formula 1 Replica skins in it's respective Finished Skins section. IIRC, there's some BAR, Williams, Arrows, Sauber (?), Benneton (?), etc, but I guess you'll have to go through the pages.


Come to think of it, the FOX and F08 threads should be separate.

Quote from Bean0 :

1996 is the 248 aye ?

The Ferrari 248 is the 2006 one (which you did indeed do).


@ EagleEyes: The 1995 Benetton was created for the FO8 and BF1, but I don't recall any FBM version made. There also is a 1993 Benetton for the FOX, but again, IIRC there's no FBM. Unles obviously I'm totally mistaken. You can always search the FBM topic, but I don't think there actually is any.

Hello,

There is a M.Schumacher 1997 available already in the Finished Skins/Helmets section [Link], and this version is extremely similar (if not plainly the same) as the '96 one. As for the FBM skin, I can't help you much. A few versions of the Ferrari skins over the years has been created, but exactly '96, I don't believe so.

Very nice mate. I enjoyed.

PS: Youtube version is running.

I just noticed I never did the Ralf helmet as planned. Might as well get to it .

I like the music ahaha. Good, but we don't hear you too well IMO.

Well, nothing evil, but there are obvious problems with the replica. First, the Mercedes logo is wrong side up, secondly, there are major alignment issues. Other than that, I guess it's an attempt. Other thing, don't use ImageShack for skins.

I've always scaled everything manually, one-by-one, and used the viewer to judge. Best way IMO, then you can get everything to look the way you want it to be .

Great video there mate. I really enjoyed, and also liked the style.

+1 to the Chrysler, wheel electronic dial, and headlights comments. But the idea of having an idea of having new Lotus7 is good. (repetition on purpose)

Well, come to think of it, it depends what you want to recreate... Either the view a driver would have, or a view of a helmet camera. Point of view of the driver, I don't really know, I guess it's not far off, and dunno for the helmet appearance; but if you want to simulate a helmet camera, then having the inside of a helmet isn't fake, but rather closer to the truth. Example

And IMO, there's just too much moving around. I'm sure you can do most of that just by moving your eyes (if we go with the helmet cam idea. Otherwise, EYE view, that might be okay, but still, doesn't seem to look enough at the road, but then again).

BF1, but that's just no good. Drive something like the FO8, FOX, or GTRs around it, much fun.
