Fixed that for ya.
Your opinion is welcomed but you only speak for yourself, not everyone. I happen to like the different Aston configs and would welcome more of them, especially some of the ones I posted which create new corners.
As I already stated, these new configurations involve very little effort on the part of the developers compared to a completely new environment. I'd welcome any new content which could be released soon rather than waiting months and months for a new environment.
New Layouts At Existing Venues
The recent addition of South City Chicane Route got me thinking. No new areas had to be made, yet we still got a new circuit to freshen up an already existing environment. This is an excellent idea and should be taken further.
First off, a super-long layout at Kyoto Ring using the GP Long section combined with the National section. Maybe call it Kyoto Ring Grand Touring? Or Kyoto Ring Endurance?
So much can be done with Aston that hasn't been done. Some slight modifications to existing layouts:
Maybe call this one Aston Club Long:
And this one National Short:
And a bunch of other ones which I can't think of names of. Several of them create new corners which look like they could be a lot of fun:
EDIT: Imageshack sucks. Tinypic is way better so I re-uploaded them.

Well yeah, that's true, especially if the lapped car is in front. But the general idea is that once a lapped car is behind you, you should be able to go about your race and not have to worry about him slinging one up the inside.
If he is not on your lap and thus racing you for position, you should be able to completely ignore him. You should not have to react to his presence in any way.
In a very long race drivers are entitled to get their lap back, as long as they do so cautiously and respectfully. But this was a five-lap race on BL1 and he was already two laps down. No excuse.

You were 100% in the right, and he was 100% in the wrong. He was not racing you; he was two laps down. He should not have been interfering with your race in any way. That was completely stupid on his part, and everyone in [SR] should know better.
Post this on their forums on their site and explain the situation.

That isn't exactly true. The crux of the issue is that aerodynamic devices cannot have fluctuating angles of attack, which would obviously give a huge advantage. The swooping nose pieces which most teams have adopted in the past year obviously flex like crazy when at high speed, but they only move in the vertical plane and have the same angle of attack no matter how much they're flexing. If they changed their pitch (i.e. angle of attack) even a little, they'd be immediately declared illegal.
Eh? That corner is nothing like Parabolica. T1 at Aston National / Aston Grand Prix is more similar, but only vaguely.
I'd love to see the Roller Coaster (turns 14 and 15) and the Hog Pen (turns 16 and 17) at VIR. The map doesn't really do them justice because the elevation changes are quite dramatic. Watching a field of Formula Atlantics blast down that hill last year was quite a sight.
The Esses sequence at Road Atlanta is really cool too.
Burnenville bend, the Masta Kink, and Blanchimont at the old Spa-Francorchamps.
Maggots-Becketts-Chapel at Silverstone. 130R, the esses and Spoon at Suzuka. The Nürburgring and Imola chicanes at Magny-Cours. Turn 8 and the 12-13-14 sequence at Istanbul Park. Pouhon at the new Spa. The final chicane at Montreal.
Of course none of these will ever happen in LFS until / unless it gets open to modding, but it's nice to dream.

This is hopelessly laggy for me. I'm a rock-solid 3MBit connection, yet I still get massive stutters. Is there an alternative way to view this, or is there just too much traffic for the server to handle?
EDIT: Nevermind, it's smooth now. This is really neat.

Uh, no. There is no illegal software on that site. Warez means illegal software, get it?

What the hell's this thing on the top of the Mclaren? It looks almost like a pitot tube, but why would that be necessary? And if it is, why wouldn't it be on the nose near the radio antenna?
And I must say Kovalainen's helmet colors look nearly identical to Alonso's while he was at Mclaren. From this angle, anyway.

Airing live yes, but it will be available online to download. www.racing-underground.com
Yes. All the teams which are running their new cars at Jerez are running the standard ECU which disallows traction control and greatly reduces the effectiveness of engine braking among other things.
The teams which haven't launched their new cars are running last year's models with this year's ECU installed.
Yes, you are correct. Aero regs didn't change significantly at all for this season. If they had been, the cars wouldn't look like evolved versions of the cars of the past two years.
Keep dreaming; it won't happen. A lot of work redoing the geometry of the F1.06 that we already have, for what? LFS aerodynamics is nowhere near detailed enough for there to be a handling difference.
This statement is 100% false.
It looks pretty similar to last year's, but that's because the aero regs have been fairly static for a few seasons now. As a result all the teams come closer to maximizing the performance of their cars within the confines of the regulations, and so the look of the cars tend to become more similar.
It may look similar, but not a single component has been carried over from last year's car. It's a completely new design.
Enough with the damned red and white already. Toyota is red and white, Super Aguri is red and white, Ferrari used to have a fair bit of white, Honda was red and white and might go back to it, and of course which colors did Force India choose? (Dark) red and white.
I miss Jordan's bright yellow, Renault's blue and yellow, Ligier/Prost's French blue, Jaguar's British racing green...
I wonder how Prodrive were planning to paint their cars.

It isn't common except in maritime navigation. And aircraft airspeed and groundspeed is measured in knots.
That only works when you're in-car. While spectating F12 reveals nothing.
Basic info like the race length, wind and weather should be viewable in spectate mode.
Nitrogen keeps a tire inflated correctly for longer than air. Underinflated tires create much more friction and reduce gas mileage, which pollutes more.
A what?
F3 != GP2
GP2 used to be F3000, an world championship distinct from F3 series which are mostly national.
I wasn't aware that any of those series had a push-to-pass feature, but then again I don't know all that much about them. Details please?
You don't have to necessarily remove the card, but in many systems it's difficult to get a good view of the fan without doing so. Point being, blow the dust out to ensure the fan is moving freely and air is flowing smoothly across the heatsink.
Snow is most likely an overheating video card, in which case you need to shut down your computer immediately and address the issue before you run an demanding app like a game. If you have artifacts, you are probably doing permanent damage to your card. DO NOT keep allowing your computer to crash because of heat; expensive components will fail.
The first step is to blow out all the dust with canned air. Take the video card out and make sure there is no dust clogging the fan. Also check the CPU heatsink and fan.
If you're already overheating at stock specs, overclocking will only make it worse and so makes absolutely no sense.
Download a program such as Speedfan to monitor your temps. Your card has a sensor which can be monitored with Nvidia's own application; since I have an ATI card I use ATI Tray Tools along with Speedfan to monitor all my temps and fan speeds.
To be honest I would not bother with overclocking. Your hardware will overclock, but is it really worth the risk? Going past specs voids the warranty and may fry your equipment. It probably won't fry if you're careful, but the gains are minimal. Even if you manage 20%, which is a lot, that's the difference between 80 and 100 fps. That is noticeable, but not huge. I would recommend leaving everything alone and enjoying your already high-performance PC. LFS will benefit very little from graphics overclocking anyway; it craves CPU power. If you absolutely must have more performance, buy better hardware.
I've had it. It's fantastic. So is Maudite.
