The drop off at the second stint seems more strategic to me. The dirty air effect would make Schumacher use his tyres more and the team probaly knew he was staying out longer. They probaly dropped the revs and maintain the car, not much point blitzing away and working your car harder than you need to. A wins a win if it's by 1 lap or 1 second. Thats one thing I don't understand with Kimi, although I admire his fighting spirit is why he pushes the car so hard. Examples of this were last year when he would finish miles up the road and still be lapping hotlaps right to the end of the race when he really didn't need to push the car that hard.

you make a good point, but i really rather that they drive the balls of their cars even if they don't need to, simply just so that they can one-up the other man.

one thing that i hate (love to hate) about f1 is that everything is so gentlemanly. instead of actually duking it out, they'll subtley stub the other driver in the back with strategy. it's almost like they're apologetic to make a passing move, and all the f1 drivers are pussies about it too when they do get passed. deal with it. it's racing. i do understand that it is difficult with the aero turbulance and whatnot, but you just don't see the kind of balls racing of dijon 1979 anymore. F1 seems to be quite the intellectual's motorsport. it's like A Beautiful Mind as opposed to the Gladiator.

i was only able to watch about half of it... michael is really something, falling off the pace a bit in the middle, but then catching up again... What's wrong with michael's car, why does his second stint always suck so much?

anyways, discuss!

well if you look, the s1 licenses aren't even sold anymore... just striaght to s2 for the 24lbs. so bascially, you've already paid half the price for the full licesne, it's like an investment. just pay the other 12 lbs. and you're back in the game. s3 won't be coming out for ages anyways...

No, that's no easier to use than a zip file, because you still need to put it in the right place. And most people don't want to run an exe, they would prefer to just extract a zip manually.

So it would cause more problems than it would solve. For me it's just zip files or self updater. I'm not interested in self extracting files, installers, etc.

scawen, the only reason why i started playing LFS was because for the longest time i accidentally locked myself out of being able to install stuff, so i couldn't install games, etc. (don't ask me how, it just happened...) and i couldn't reformat because i didn't have an XP CD. so basically lfs was the only game i played because it was the only game i could play, because of the zip... yay scawen!


i dont make sense because im a little tipsy off some green stuff.

it was great because renault tried to trick ferrari, but then it didn't work ^_^

Quote from Scawen :

What's this?

You hang out of your car looking at the tyres, while cornering at the limit of grip, at around 1g? You are very brave! But that may be a bit dangerous.

lmao at the second part ^_^

hehe that was funny

well this was the first race of the season that i watched... compared to last year, i thought it was great...

....

the tach are the green yelow orange and red lights at the top. when it hits red, shift before the two red lights underneeth start flashing. if there are no lights on, that's pretty much a signal to downshift until you see green or yellow.

the TSN race feed is one of the best in the world... after all, it is ITV. speed has more humour, but the ITV feed has some great insight...

ehh, i think he knew that it was over... there were some good attempts though during schumi's second stint when he had ths shysty tires

Quote from tristancliffe :

Turn off TC and do some laps. Then add 700bhp (for qualifying) and tell me if 10 people in LFS could cope. The standard of driving (today) is abysmal in the BF1, and it's one of the easiest cars in LFS (though you tend to need one, perhaps two, nooby laps to find out where the grip/speed is). I can't understand how everyone is spinning at every corner all the time...

and I haven't even seen the oval recently, but I guess that's even worse cos the nooby noobs hang out there.

i find the trick to going FASTER especially on a mouse is to use some relativly heavy TC in the corners (speed ~6m/s @ ~5%), and when you exit the corner, turn off TC. that will allow you to accelerate like a MADMAN, without TC eating up your power even when you won't spin under full throttle.

Quote from (SaM) :

I never liked the RaceAbout much, it doesnt feel stable at all.
Like someone said before, it steers like a boat. Hence why I call the Race-A-Boat.

was that me?


(probably not.)

screw stupid bimmer. i just want a moto-gp level race bike and maybe a nice 600CC sportbike. THAT would make this a ultimate driving simulator.

and an LMP for 24-hr races ^_^

it's not a tip of the hat to anybody. it's a realism thing. here's some shots of the cockpit of a ferrari f1:

as you can see, just above the FIA sticker theres a ferrari manufacturing plate thing (i don't know what its called.)

oh shit... i think maybe intel set this up... remember the commercial that LFS was featured on a little while ago by intel? i think that maybe intel actually had something to do with this little surprise

now belmont milds are the best. go canada.

tits? what?

oooh hey, a fellow ontarian. where you from?

well, he DID tell you not to click it...

Quote from Frankmd :

Better news then a progress report I think you'll have to hire someone to sleep for you... LFS in daytime, then a baby keeping you awake during the night...
Congratulations

thats why you sleep in the day and work at night

Quote from hank_k :

Until the westfield seight was brought up, which the Lx cars clearly are, I though they matched the panoz roadster pretty well.

have you never heard of a lotus 7? :|

panoz roadster... sheesh.

Quote from Funnybear :

Welcome to fatherhood my friend. We shall expect an LFS update in about 18 years then . . . lol. She will change your life mate. All for the better.

Here, have a cigar.
