Yeah i honestly wouldn't buy a boring hatchback for that kind of money. I'd rather spend it on a nicer second hand car.

Douchebag(s) of the day: Red Bull's "Maintain the gap"

Is it just me or this race is rather boring?

They need to stop using that new camera angle at brooklands. They use it wayyy too much.

Dude speak english.

Well at least its a step to the right direction for Williams. From what I have read, Cosworth's V8 is heavy and not as efficient as the other engines (and probably down on power as well).

They should make the V8 do the support races for the F1 when F1 goes to the US next year.

ps. The V8 drives great at Spa in iRacing. It's one of my favourite combo.

EDIT: Actually its not the real charlie whiting. but still pretty funny.

The quality of racing in the lower league is absolutely appalling.

Thanks. Now it is properly centred. I got another question tho.

The wheel in game is turning more than I am actually turning with the physical wheel. For example, I am only turning 180 degrees, but the wheel in game has more than 180 degrees of steering. How do i change that? :S

after i updated the game, my wheel isn't centred properly (my physical wheel is at 0 degree but the wheel in the game is at like 30 degrees). Anyone can help?

Side by Side comparison of the new and old tire model.

Judging from the video, sliding through every corner is no longer the fastest way around a track, so this is definitely an improvement already.

Exams are over. Time to boot up iRacing

HELL YES!!

As a button fan, I must admit it feels good to see rumours like this. Even after his 2009 Championship, people was still saying he isn't a worthy champion. But when the two biggest teams in Formula One want you to drive for them, you know you have proved the world wrong.

That's why I am not a support of the new engine formula. Martin Whimarsh said V6 would be the best compromise between performance, spectacle, and road-related technology.

I personally don't mind a 1.6L turbo, ONLY IF they can make it sounds as great as the current V8s.

Were they driving in the rain on slicks?!

I am kinda tired of arguing about this lol. I have said all i have to say. So I am out. Later guys.

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :

Why did Jenson hit his rear wheel then if he was side by side with him THROUGH the chicane?

Because of physics. Jenson had to take a tighter line through the corner, hence lower corner exit speed.

Jenson had 2/3 of his car alongside Alonso in mid-corner. Alonso did gave Button enough room for corner entry and mid-corner. But Alonso didn't expect Button to have as much grip as he did (or Alonso didn't go as fast as he thought he would be), so Alonso took a slightly tighter line which didn't give Button enough room for corner exit.

Quote from Hyperactive :

Webber squeezed hamilton pretty tight into T1 but alonso gave buttocks plenty of room. Plus hamilton was at least side by side with webber. Button barely had his front next to alonso's rear tire. The reasons for each collision are different. Both imho still just racing incidents.

Even Martin Brundle and DC said during the commentary that Webber gave Hamilton plenty of room. Hamilton understeered into Webber.

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :

They weren't side by side in the chicane.

I don't think you can get anymore side by side than this. Alonso was always going to come (or crash) out of the chicane first since Jenson was taking a much tighter line hence slower speed.

hm when did I ever say Alonso should be penalised?

Quote from Intrepid :

and similar things were said about Hamilton in Monaco....

point being there is ample evidence to suggest Button should be rewarded with penalties.

If he isn't then there is a suggestion that the stewards really are on a Hamilton witchhunt. If he is then the stewards are basically outlawing normal racing etiquette. Both are bad,

Why do people keep comparing Button's accidents to those happened with Hamilton in Monaco?!

Hamilton dived down the inside in Monaco. Button was alongside Alonso the entire time. It was nothing like Monaco. The only accident that is similar to Button/Alonso collision was the Hamilton/Webber collision at the start, only there was enough room for both Hamilton and Webber through that corner if Hamilton didn't ran wide. So if Hamilton didn't get a penalty for that, then neither should Button.

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :

Alonso didn't turn into Jenson taking a normal line though did he? He gave him room and took an outside line and Jenson was going too fast to avoid him and take a tighter line. I agree it should be a racing incident like hamilton and webber, but that doesn't stop it being Hamiltons fault.

No he did not. But by trying to go into the chicane with Jenson side by side, the odds are they are going to come together at that corner at that speed at that angle. It was no one's fault. Alonso could have avoided it, but he took the risk. Period.

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :

But Alonso hung onto the outside, he didn't just cut across him, he was following the line of the kerb and Jenson had his nose aimed at him.

It is just impossible for both cars to make it through that corner at that speed and angle. Button was following the inside line as well. The only alternative Button had was to magically disappeared.

I am not saying it was anyone's fault. I am just saying it was a racing accident. Alonso could have avoided the accident if he didn't turn into Button, but Alonso chose to take the risk and ended his race.

If you don't believe me, watch this yourself.

Button was alongside the ENTIRE time.
