the track is absolutely soaked!
and the dry tunnel section might add some uncertainty into the race as well.
expect Button, Rosberg and Hamilton to do well in condition like this.
and expecting Massa and Piquet to crash out at T1.

Quote from piggy501 :

Slow down then? If not, I'll rework it.

its too tight compare to the real one.

well why dont the devs host like a "track-design" competition?
and the devs can add the winning track to the game?

Hows the LF-A going?

the only thing i hate about the FO8 is its shape.
its a bit.. well .. too boxy

the monaco turn is a bit too tight

Quote from Mustafur :

The Ferraris are clearly faster in S2, there about 5 tenths faster then anyone.

Mclaren is fastest in S1 though.

that means the McLarens have better mechanical grip, and the ferrais have better aero grip as S2 are high speed corners.

Quote from Mustafur :

That would be super bias, james allen.

he was even comparing Hamilton to Senna at Q1

im addicted to this game haha

look nice.
gonna try it when i finish this damn economics homework =S

yep i dont recommend you to start your project right now as technogies get outdated really quickly nowadays

well just to let you know.
the IB diaploma programme is VERY intense and stressful.
so unless you are REALLY smart i wont recommend you doing it because it takes A LOT of time to finish the stuff it requires.
like i spent like 6 hours finishing my 37 pages maths assignment.
and the next day i have a physics report due as well.
fortunately i managed to finish it at school. =S
i have NEVER done so much work in two days.
and its just the start of the programme.
so you can imagine how intense the programme is.


When an IB Coordinator says "Jump!" an IB freshmen asks "How high?
Two years later the IB Coordinator says "Jump!" and the IB Junior asks "Where's the nearest cliff?"

IB helps you with stress management. It throws all this stress at you and says, 'Manage it!' Then you have your breakdown and you get over it.

Getting an IB diploma is like reading War and Peace. When you finally finish, you've got to say it's the greatest book you ever read, or else you feel pretty stupid afterwards.


When asked to comment on the IB a student replied: "I'd commit suicide but I don't have the time."

Quote from evilpimp :

Haha, yeh, I'm in the IB .

And I have no idea what you mean by extended essay :P. its called personal project here. Well in french, projet personelle.

oh i missed the middle years programme part
didnt expect you to be quite young.
Extended essay is part of the Diaploma programme. which i assume you will be doing it next year.

Quote from evilpimp :

lol they check them for plagiarism :P.

And we get a year because it has to be near perfect. If I don't get a good grade in this project, I don't get my certificate from the middle years program of the International Baccalaureat.

oohhhhhh i get it now.
you are doing IB?! same here mate.
are you doing this for extended essay?
can you even do topic like global warming for it?

got a good IB joke for you
“If a picture is worth a 1000 words, I wonder if 4 pictures would be enough to desribe my essay”

~ Student doing last-minute Extended Essay

Quote from ddd9022 :

But 1 year is too much for this.
In Latvia we have that projects too,
and i(and almost all of us) have done it in last week.
I dont remember how much words was there, but this project was 30 MSword pages long.

haha yeah i agree i cant believe they actually give you ONE year to finish an essay.
i can seriously finish that in two days if i can be bothered.

Quote from evilpimp :

Well it's not very interusting though. You hear about it everyday in the radio, the TV and everywere. I could do something like hybrid cars which would help reduce gas emissions and all that to prevent even worst global warming.

the good thing about Global warming is that if you include all the "standard" stuff in your essay it pretty much guarantee you AT LEAST a pass because its pretty straight forward.
BUT.. *here comes the catch*
its really hard to get a good grade on it as i bet most teachers must have read like million essays on GW and they must be sick of it.
so yours essay must be really special/interesting to catch the attention of your teacher. which i think the FCX is a great way to do so because not many people knows that such car actually exists as they sound soo futuristic. (errr i sound like a die-hard honda fanshaha)

just got an idea.
if you really want to write an article about Live For Speed or any other racing games.
this should be an alright topic for computer game. (although i really dont recommend you to do this). you can even include the response from different communities as well.

prob has the best graphics out there, but they definitely have the s**test physics engine for a racing game. cant believe they actually made a game that is even worse than NFS.
great job guys.

i ran like two corners then i was like what a fkn waste of time. even arcade game is more fun than this. and deleted the demo.
ive NEVER played such a crap game ever in my life =S

Honda Hydrogen Fuel Cell Car. FCX
car of the future.
absolutely zero emission. (Honda actually has a way to use solar panels to convert whatever into hydrogen but too expensive to put it into mass production. so theoritically Hydrogen COULD be completely emission-free)
saying how great Hydrogen is compare to all the bio-fuels or other alternate fuel.
and say like because the cost is so great thats why we are still using fossil fuel. even tho the hydrogen technology is actually pretty mature and ready to be used by consumers. all we have to do is encourage corporations to start working on this technology. let them know the demand is higher than we think.
and say like even tho many automobile manufacturers are starting to produce "Green" car. but most of them do it because of the profit and to suit the market. Unlike Honda which has put a great deal of resources in Green technology such as Hydrogen Fuel cell, hybrid, solar panels, the earthdream concept in F1 to raise awareness, and even the aim of the HondaJet is to create the new generation of private jets with lower emissions. (haha sorry this might sound all about Honda because i think what they are doing for the environment is absolutely amazing. just a quick fact: Honda has NEVER produce a engine for chainsaw because they think trees look better standing up. *its true i remember read it somewhere on their websites but cant be bothered to find it again*)
then you can link the whole idea back to Global Warming saying how much damage our human civilisation is doing to the Earth.
and suggest possible solutions.

i can write like a 7000 words essay EASILY with the topic i just suggested.
4000 words isnt as hard as it looks..
once you get the ideas its pretty straight forward.

just a quick google search

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

I was driving a certain other sim for much of last week, and came back to LFS to practice at KY3 for my LOTA league race. It completely threw me at first how glass-flat KY is.

yeah KY is extremely smooth.
like those newly-built F1 tracks..
thats why its my favourite track. especially KY2.

Quote from March Hare :

I would say the exact opposite.
We need more bumps in the tracks.

That's why I like South City tracks the most. The bumps throw the car around and the armco does not forgive mistakes.

But the sprint tracks without pits are a bit daft.

well i dunno maybe its just me but i cant stand bumpy tracks they drive me nuts..
its not like its harder to drive on. i just cant stand it for some random reason =S

well i would LOVE to see this track.
especially T8.
but we are know its not gonna happen due to the MASSIVE license fee.
HOWEVER, all im asking is PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put that T8 in our next new track.

ohhhh. and please give us a track with like smooth surface?
Kyoto GP is fine but i personally prefer mid-slow speed corners.
but yeah the tracks in LFS are wayyy too bumpy

thats really nice skin mate.
i just saw it in oneGP last night =D

Formula One. and V8 supercar as well

put it this way.
you cannot pre-heat the tires before race/qualify

well i use a mouse but i never have problem with my clutch.

so should i get fresh tires? or just stop at the box and go again?
