Great driving 
But definately the white one was to blame.
But definately the white one was to blame.2MBit down / 192kbit up flatrate. But next week I'm gonna have a 3Mbit down / 192kbit up so I already took the new speed in this poll.
Unfortunatly I'm a smoker. But I'm trying to quit,although it's very hard. But it's not good for racing, slows your reactions down. (I smoke LM)

Oh sorry you're right was the right rear. (Force Feedback was inverted in my head, just fixed it )
)As there were no news that Williams would change to the old gear system I assume that they've already used the new one in the race.

well due to the poll I've put the race report in the quali thread
F1: Race in Bahrain
Due to results of the poll I'm posting the race results here.
What a race, a real great start of the 2006 F1 Championship. Exciting 'til the end.
But lets see what happened:
At the beginning Tiago Monteiro had to start from the pits.
The start itself was very good for both Ferraris but Alonso was better. But as Massa blocked him, he couldn't overtake.
Nico Rosberg was involved in a little skirmish and due to this he had to pit in lap1.
What was very nice to see, the 2 Honda drivers fought themselfes, something that you didn't see often in the last years. Normally you see that 2 team mates have something like a non attack agreement.
Also the 2 Red Bull teams (RBR, STR) fought against each other.
On lap 2 Ide got a drive through penalty cause his mechanics didn't leave the starting grid in time.
In lap 7 Alonse had a very lucky moment: Massa oversteered during the braking for turn 1 driftet past Alonso, Alonso was very lucky that Massa didn't run into him.
Due to flatspots on the tyres Massa had to pit the next lap, probably this is a very disapointing race for him.
First pit of Michael Schumacher was on lap 15, Alonso took the lead, Schumacher left the pits as 4th.
3 laps later Alonso had to pit leaving the 1st position to Montoya and exiting after Schumacher.
Bad luck for Fisichella, he had to abandon with hydraulic problems on lap 22.
In lap 30 Räikkönen took his one and only pitstop.
Also in lap 30 Jacques Villeneuves engine blew.
This was a very exciting phase of the race, Alonso chased Schumacher, never letting him take too much gap.
Lap 35: Schumacher 2nd stop, Alonso was retarded by slower cars at that moment. No one knew if he could drive enough time out to stay in front of Schumacher.
19 laps before the end Alonso took his 2nd stop, and it was a very close call, when he left the pitlane he and Schumacher drove into the 1st turn side by side, but alonso could defend his position.
The last laps were very exciting, we saw nice fights, like Rosberg against Coulthard and Rosberg against Klien (very good performance from Rosberg). But also Michael Schumacher tried to get Alonso but eventually Alonso took the win for his team.
Räikkönen, after an impressive drive from last place became 3rd.
Noteworthy is that most cars had no technical problems, there were only 4 abandons.
Toyota had a disapointing performance and they are surely have some work to do on their cars.
Well I think we saw a very good race with many fights on the track and it was never boring.

Well I can assure you, that as I'm directly involved I will not vote. I also don't know who voted no or yes, but isn't there a way to see that or to track that down?
It's true that this matter could have been settled without a poll. But as there is one, well what shall I say, I wait for the result (until the F1 race is finished)
Yes yes I know, as I said this was only for season start, I never intendet to do more than 2 threads for future races. Well maybe I'm gonna put everything in one thread in future.
Well as I wrote in quali thread this was only because its the season start. Someone suggested making 2 threads in future, one for prequal and qual and one for the race. Either way, I'm gonna look at the results of this poll and stick with it.
Well I asked about this already in the Quali thread
Wow this is one I didn't play for a long time . Wel when it came out I liked it very much. The rain is what impressed me at most in this time. The wet surface of track just looks great. (I know of no other game that matched that so far). In short terms: Physics are nice but there's only one car behaviour model for all cars. Only difference are the horsepower. And then again, the engines behave all the same, only hp and rpm's are the difference. But due to the rainy condition graphics and physics, it's worth a try. Man I even think I'm gonna install it right back on my disk now

Man I even think I'm gonna install it right back on my disk now Yes, well I reported on the practice as this is the first race. But in future I will only make two reports: Quali (included in this pre qual news) and race. But what shall I do with the report of this race?
Well I have a question to you all. As I started this (making F1 reports)I am also gonna post a report on the race tomorrow . Now detail wrote why I didn't post in an existing thread. Well I thought it would be easier to find the news one wants if there are more threads with different titles. So now I ask your opinion, shall I start a new thread with the title F1: race in Bahrain or shall I post the report in this thread?
Well Clownpaint, seems you've got a real good point there. it's true that it is non sense to waste fuel in times of such resource shortages.
Well I was excited. There was never a boring minute. BTW: Update on Montoyas problems from yesterday. There was nothing wrong with the engine or engine mapping. They simply put in the wrong gear ratio. (At least that's what Norbert Haug said and he was not pleased with the comments of Montoya)
F1: Qualifying in Bahrain (now Race in Bahrain)
At last! That's how I felt about the new qualifying system. At last we saw action on the track. Don't get me wrong, for a F1 enthusiast like me, the one car qualifying was also interesting, but for most spectators it's surely more exciting to watch a track full of cars. And it was exciting.
First quarter was interupted due to a crash by Kimi Räikkönen. His left rear suspension broke, taking the rear wing with it. Due to the debris on the track the session was temporarly interupted (4min 34 s before the end) At 14:19 Bahrain time the qualifying was continiued and every driver drove out of the pits. Ralf Schumacher was a victim of the traffic, only driving the 17th best time and thus forced to stay in pits for the next sessions (due to the new qualifying regulations).
As expected also the Super Aguris and the Midlands failed to be under the 16 best.
The second session of 15 min was a little less actionfull but also exciting. What showed up in the winter tests proved to be right: Toyota is too slow at the moment, Jarno Trulli only took place 14. Surely a big disappointment for them.
For the last session the resting teams (10 of them) had to put in their race fuel amount (also due to the new regulations). So what did they do? Well they drove as many laps as possible just to burn their fuel, and in the last minustes they took new tyres to get a fast lap. Michael Schumacher took the pole, Felippe Massa the 2nd place. So you can say that Ferrari is back, at least in the qualifying. the world champion Fernando alonse only took 4th place but the times of the top drivers are all very close. Williams, BMW Sauber
and Red Bull were also fast putting all one car in the top ten. For the race Räikkönen is surely gonna have trouble as he has to start from last place. Well
the new system for qualifying proved to be good in terms of excitement .
1. Michael Schumacher (Scuderia Ferrari) 1:31.431
2. Felippe Massa (Scuderia Ferrari) 1:31.478

Reason : As result of the poll I've put the race report in the quali thread
Update on Montoyas engine:
The McLaren engineers decided to not change the engine. The speed difference is due to different engine mappings, the engines themself have no (mechanical) differences.

Yes with the same RPM as Kimi he drove 7kph slower than him on the longest straight (not on the top speed that have been recorded by the traps, but in general, that's what they say anyway). Well it doesn't look too well for McLaren. Also the discussions about the V10 that STR uses started all over again cause Liuzzi was in the top ten.
Update:
Apparently it seems that Kimi Räikkönens car had electrical problems.

As soon as you leave an host, if it was wanted or not, you still have a temporary replay file. It's located in your mpr folder and is called something like temp_mp.mpr. To save it you have to rename it.
