The first part was neat; the second was incredible. :cool:
Indeed, the bus stop was just carnage every race for me.
Great server though, thanks for running it guys.
From certain angles, some are quite nice:
Others are hopeless:

True, I just wish their lobbies weren't so successful at pushing through bullshit legislation like the DMCA, which will exist long after these companies die off.
I noticed this a couple days ago on the "BBC F1 Intro 1990" video, because of course it uses The Chain in its audio. Now that video is silent.
I agree.
Babies are the worst form of STD. At least you don't have to pay for college for syphilis.
Cool quiz. I got messed up on a couple of the countries with multiple ones - Germany and the UK, specifcally. I knew Silverstone was in the Midlands, but I didn't know where the others were.
Bernie drinks the blood of babies in order to maintain his vitality.
Bernie will never die.

Really? Since when? Surely this would have been in the news.
Bullshit. Secure is a state of mind, not location. And anyway there are plenty of locations which would be completely safe from any 'terrorist attack'.
All that is about the illusion of security. Completely worthless. Privacy invasion doesn't make you safe. Taking one's shoes off and only having 2 oz of shampoo instead of 8 doesn't make you safe.
An increasingly militarized police force is a threat to liberty and to the lives of citizens.
Another way is to not fund them or give them weapons.
If you limit yourself to a single car, no wonder you aren't seeing that many servers.
You have to drive the popular combos. There are plenty of active servers around every day.
Shut the hell up you whiner.
I wonder if the site will only allow UK IPs to do this. ITV's used to.
Hopefully I'll finally have an alternative to SPEED when I want to watch the race live.
And they're trying to get Indian drivers through the ranks. Even if they run foreign drivers, they're trying to drum up patriotism in India by having "India" in the name of the team.
Yep, I agree, but it won't stop teams from trying to do it. The reign of the manufacturer teams will eventually come to an end, and shifting the focus of a team towards a particular nation is a logical progression from that. Money is money, whether it comes from a car manufacturer or a government. I don't think this trend is a necessarily a positive one either, but it definitely seems to be occuring.
There have been a few great FOX servers with decent populations around in the past couple days.
Yeah, you should be able to get to all the GA areas with any grandstand ticket. That's how it worked when I went to the 2008 Canadian GP, and the 2000 US GP.
Then F1 probably isn't headed in a direction you'll like. Nationalism is on the rise in F1, and has been for a few years. Peter Windsor said it himself.
First Force India, now USF1, could easily be China in a few years, Japan could throw support behind a rebuilt Honda or Toyota...

What is it about diesel engines that doesn't allow one to simply put some fuel in the tank and start 'er up if one runs out of fuel while driving?
Oops, I typo'd earlier; I meant to say the 2007 Hondas. I'm pretty sure Honda owns the IP to both the RA07 and the SA07 cars, which were nearly identical. In fact pretty much any car built in 2006, 2007 or 2008 would be workable into a test chassis with which to try out new drivers.
I'm not sure I agree. The only way USF1 could avoid designing and building a car from scratch would be to buy a 2009-spec car, which I seriously doubt would ever happen. They will be starting from scratch, and I admit there is a strong possibility that they will qualify dead last in Melbourne 2010. But I also think the team will have the potential to take huge steps forward from there, which Andrea Moda (and many other teams) did not. Ken Anderson has a lot of technical expertise and experience, and together with Peter Windsor will have rather a lot of clout with which to coax engineering talent from other teams and other forms of motorsport.
Of course, this is all speculative. I'm looking forward to the official launch in a few days, when we should have much more hard information.
Good, please avoid patch Z where everyone drives; we have enough numbskulls there already.
So often, my countrymen are an embarassment. This is yet another example.
Moving on, evidently AJ Allmendinger was rumored for a test with USF1. I hadn't heard his name mentioned before, but with all the rumors flying about I guess he's as likely a candidate as any. NASCAR is such a huge jump from F1 though.
Anyone else think they might be announcing their testing shortlist at the official launch on the 24th? They might even do something really crazy and put in a bid to buy a couple old F1 chassis just to test drivers with (e.g. 2008 Hondas). They could probably be rigged with a very rough approximation of 2009 downforce levels by bolting on new front and rear wings and taking off all the chimneys and winglets and such. Slap a set of slicks on and they'd be set. Of course the cars would be far from legal, but it would give several drivers a chance to see what an F1 car feels like to drive.
At any rate, I hope USF1 doesn't get too ambitious too early. They'd be wise to pick up an experienced foreign test driver to lead development, instead of rushing to put two fresh-faced American drivers immediately into race seats.
