Indy will never work with this family in charge.

What always bothers me is why don't they use the two softest compounds for low Deg tracks like this, atleast then some strategy can be involved.

Quote from NSX_FReeDoM :

Wish they have a PC version of it. Saw a few videos and it looked like such a fun game.

Basically a free room need for speed with Forza Physics, map is far too small for long term gameplay imo, online free roam is not integrated with the single player which is the most annoying part for me.

Quote from IsaacPrice :

I don't think Newey would improve Ferrari, like he didn't make Mclaren winners for that long period in early 2000s. Red Bull are built around him, so his affect is seen better. But if Newey was in Ferrari, he wouldnt be making Red Bull stronger and Fernando would have won 2 championships minimum in the last 3 years(including this 1), so yeah. Good idea

Thats because Ron Dennis is a control freak, Redbull basically gave Newey a team Tailor made for him to work his magic.

Either way i think too many people here are writing Vettel off as a Damon Hill or JV, But untill He teams up with either Lewis or Alonso no one is going to be happy.

I Personally think if Vettel went to Ferrari and was given Equal treatment he would have a field day in Qualifying, Alonso would Reel him in the races and it would be a tough in team battle, Im still unconvinced over Alonsos Qualifying ability though, Hamilton on his Rookie year got 6 Poles to Alonsos 2 back in 2007 which highlights to me a common trend when given a tough team mate, but to me those two in one Team seems like a Classic Senna vs Prost matchup.

Ferrari haven't been able to really out develop teams since the days of Rory Bryne, untill they find someone as good as Newey I doubt it will change.

managed to play a bit on my break the race to signup is trolly lol impossible to defend Lambos and porsches in a VR6.

Map Size is no TDU though think driver SF size or around the size of Ibiza on TDU 2.

Bought it got the collectors edition but im at work i got to wait till i get home.

Hey guys,

So we are now 36% of the way there (according to Steam).

Early next week we'll be updating the games page with new images and video in an attempt to push our votes higher =)
We're also going to start a discussion page on Steam for ideas, wishlists and comments as we're thinking of also starting a Kickstarter campaign (when it goes live in the UK at the end of this month - no more having to have a US bank account). We'd like to add online championships and a livery editor, amoung a few other things...

...and we're keen to find out what other people would like to see in our 'historic racer'.

I would highly Suggest making a topic on Trackforum(the Biggest American Open wheel fan community on the net), I did one recently but i couldn't explain much because i haven't even played the Xbox version.

Settle down ladies, anyway i wonder who is going to cover Loeb, i hope its Ostberg, even if its a partial season i think he has the talent to show Citreon he could be their next man for the titles.

Force India are a sinking ship - Vijay Mallya's businesses are tanking badly and a warrant has been issued in India for his arrest

surely 10 million dollars is loose change for a billionaire.

Quote from N I K I :

This is always makes a great show for the fans and it looks like two of them are getting along a whole lot better lately.

Perhaps, Ferrari knows that Vettel is secret weapon of RedBull, I mean look at Webber I doubt he would have won 2011 title when RedBull was at their strongest and surely I highly doubt he would have won '10 or this years. Putting a rookie in his place, instead of Vettel wouldn't make team a whole lot more competitive and I think Ferrari is employing the policy of if you can't beat them, join them.

Anyway, if this all is true then Hulk should move to RedBull in 2014, cos neither of Torro Rosso drivers isn't anything special again. I know their car sucks, still I rate Hulk way above Ricciardo! And then RedBull would have a secret weapon again. xD

However, Ferrari hasn't had two champions together since Prost, Mansell who didn't get along all so well because Mansell was too easily irritated, so I would rather compare this back to Jody and Gilles if it happens.

Hulkenburg still holds less points then Diresta, either way the Str battle has been kept quiet due to the bad car but if you look at the statistics its Showing Riccardo with one of the Dominant Qualifying records on the field compared to his team mate and is Starting to bring consistent points, Hulk has only really started Estalishing himself in the last 6 or so races but there is more to come imo.

Ricciardo Had Rear brake failure in the last few laps and thats why he fell behind his team mate but was still able to keep Hamilton at bay in the battle of the crippleds, Either way to Get in the points from 21st is pretty impressive especially considering he was well ahead of his team mate before the failure who started 5 Positions higher, Its his 4th points score in a row i think which shows he might be starting to establish him self as the next Redbull driver.

Quote from BlueFlame :

I think FI are getting Bianchi and were gonna boot him anyway.

If thats the case thats Two retarted driver bootings in two years.

Imo the years before S2000 the Ford was the better car, since then they kinda lost it.
Either way we will have 2 full time factory teams with Hyundai Part Time, Hopefully some more can come back.

Sideways move for Hulk, unless there is some tension in the team i don't think tht is a smart move he needs to stop moving around.

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

I wouldn't try to read too much into that, we don't know the story behind either of those sponsorship deals.


E: My point is, look at someone like Star Mazda racer Stefan Rzadzinski. He has around 20 sponsors(IIRC) this year, all local businesses from Alberta, gathered under the "Powered by Alberta" banner. Yet he could only afford a partial season in 2012.

I wouldn't call Oakley a local business though.

Either way does anyone have a way of contacting him, it would awesome to see another racer post their progress here.

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

It's a bit complex, but apparently there are two parallel F2000 championships in the United States.

• USF2000, which is part of Road to Indy, with Star Mazda, Indy Lights and IndyCar.
  
• F2000 - where Wyatt Gooden is racing - which is part of a parallel ladder held by SCCA, including F1600, aswell as the re-incarnation of Formula Atlantic.
  

I suppose F2000 would be the logical step(maybe a scholarship is in place for the F1600 champion?), however, perhaps a lateral move to USF2000 could be possible, if the budget is there.

If you look at the site under the drivers section, it looks promising for him, as he is loaded with Sponsers so he seems to have the money.

Next is USF2000 right?

No Eastern creek, wtf.

Its one of the best tracks in Australia.

stupid, but i guess it gives someone else a chance to destroy the championship.

Quote from Yuri Laszlo :

Exactly. It's not like KV is the Red Bull of IndyCar, so I don't see why anyone would discredit the efforts by TK. Getting the same amount of Top5s than Briscoe in a lesser team surely means something?

Plus, I hate Bourdais. Yeah, he's not a crap driver, but look at all those people he used to beat in ChampCar (Tag, Servia, Power, Junqueira). With equal cars, they're all better than him.

He is as close to equal cars as he was then, i don't see your argument.

Quote from Kazu2799 :

lol.. the girl on the podium asking vettel to give her his cap while he's being interviewed on live tv, so many failure for 1 gp xD

Regardless it was a good race.

Fernando, Massa is faster then you, but don't worry we will fix this for you.

Ricciardo is starting to make a name for himself, he is up to 9th from 19th on the grid including passing his team mate who started 16th on the same strategy.

Quote from Yuri Laszlo :

Still not what the standings say!

He wasn't going by the standings, he was ranking them by talent and how good he thinks they are.
