I am beyond frustrated right now. My K500 was 1 straight and half of T1. Not much of a race
. I've lost my motivation to continue and I've just about had it with this horrible luck that's followed me ever since I started Clockwork.I'm going to sit out for the rest of LFSCART but I will like to participate in the final Clockwise 300 race if Falkes permits.
But for now...car 61's seat will be empty:

What was the article's complaint?
Ah I didn't know who that was so I refrained from identifying him. Ty for that clarification
I disagree, Chiptune which is considered a subgenre of techno is pretty much music that pays tribute to the 8-bit music of old video game systems. They are quite awesome for 8-bit game nostalgia (i.e. old mario) fans.

It still pisses me off that i had to spend about $20 extra for the same game, and license when my roommate got it for about $33 at one time
Pffff it's the Kyoto 500. I'll be preparing a bottle of milk after the finish
Yeh, overheating is a major issue with bumpdrafting as bumpdrafting isn't just mindlessly slamming into the back of someone and unfortunately engine temperature isn't a factor in LFS
Hullef#$ingllujah!!!!
(BTW touring trucks: http://www.rangerpowersports.c ... m/showthread.php?t=245597)
Actually that's not true. It's actually came from the Archer Brothers in the SCCA Sportruck series during the late 1980s. It was first made famous in ARCA by Frank Kimmel and NASCAR drivers started using it after Kimmel. But since NASCAR is so well known people assume that bump drafting came out of NASCAR and oval racing when in fact it didn't.
So in essence it's a tactic that came out of an SCCA touring trucks series (a discipline that never took off for some reason)
This actually does annoy me and hopefully the damage model will be improved in the near future.
That's more of a motto for BTCC now these days as I think the modern NASCAR is too strict on contact. Remember Tony Stewart's penalty when he swearved into Clint Bowyer? Ya...excuse me NASCAR but NO ONE TAKES OUT SOMEONE by side swiping them like that. :rolleyes: But regarding BTCC, you have Jason Plato's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqNtQsIa2Nw. And he even used the "rubbin' racing" as a justification for his horrid conduct...I mean wtf...seriously
Touching is just a part of closed wheel racing, stock car, touring car, etc. Only exception to that would probably be Le Mans but I have seen prototypes bash into each other before without any consequences and let's not forget about Jamie Melo bashing his Ferrarri into Jorg Bergmeister's Flying Lizard Porsche to take the 12H Sebring win. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjWo8VdMb8I) Dirty? Maybe by open wheel standards...But just the nature of closed wheel racing.
Hardly...when I see bump drafting I think "damm, too bad I dont have a teammate that's good enough to bumpdraft without spinning me out or messing up his line". Again, contact is just a part of closed wheel racing no matter what you open wheel pansies say Right? What is this right you speak of?

Here is a better video IMO, it actually shows the other drivers' reactions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANQpPslrsQ8
It didn't bounce back because Pardo's car was almost parallel when he hit that wall. Plus it looks like that wall was almost perpendicular to the track which is never good to see especially on an oval.
I blame the wall, I have no idea why that wall was there like that
