I signed up with #25 first without knowing Ray had taken it (FFFFUUUUU), posted new signup with the #27. Sorry about that!

Best layout I've tried! (I wonder if there's anyone crazy enough to do a race in this...)

Quote from Mustafur :

Devastation yes, shock not as much.

Most people knew crashes at super speed ways are a possible fatal scienario, and with not much done safety wise since the last fatal incident( not that there is much you can do other then removing most of the power, the only real thing you could do now is ban all super speedways entirely(except Indy, and not for the prestege but the fact it's narrow and doesn't allow 3 wide action)

The thing is, it's been a while since something like this happened live, on a race, with millions of people watching, the last time was in 2001 with Zanardi (he was very close to being a fatality) and 10 years for most people is enough to generate thoughts that these cars of today are fail safe and that it will take a huge catastrophe to kill a driver (not that what happened today wasn't close to a catastrophe).
But I don't know, will the new cars really keep them racing them on superspeedways, or will Wheldon's death make them decide against racing single seaters at ovals? I just hope that Indy doesn't suffer from all of this.

Did a 6:31.85 with the FXO. Great layout!

Is there any chance to see the 5 lap tribute live?

Man, I'm shaking here, and I don't think this news has managed to sink in yet...going to be a bad day to wake up to tomorrow after watching that live

RIP Dan.

Quote from Bmxtwins :

Power is probably already complaining about losing the championship. How about Weldon, I'm sure he's not too happy about what happened to him.

Ray, seriously? It's not funny. Not one bit.

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

Are they actually considering restarting this race?

Let's hope not, no one's in the mood for racing anymore, not after a crash like that.

Quote from battlegman :

Dan could possibly be dead or Seriosuly hurt meaning maybe never racing again.

Some optimism would be great, if you have it.
Last update was that he was unconscious but his vital signs were ok..

Now the death rumours started circulating...at least on twitter. Not believing anything until anything official comes out.

EDIT: Press conference not too far away, hopefully there are good news.

Quote from DevilDare :

Dan's car.

I'm really hoping that on top of his helmet isn't what I think it is (looks like some tyre mark)...

Quote from Xone :

"iRacing" or "rFactor 2" is MUCH better than LFS.

Just because they have night lighting, and are more up to date? Sorry, but I'm sticking with LFS all the way, I still have more fun playing LFS than rFactor (and I don't have a PC that can handle iR or rF2). Thanks but no, thanks.

Quote from amp88 :

Obviously it's difficult to say with absolute certainty what was the "fastest car" in a given season, but here are a few candidates for F1 world champions who weren't necessarily in the fastest car:

Kimi Raikkonen - 2007
Michael Schumacher - 2003
Ayrton Senna - 1991
Alain Prost - 1986
Alain Prost - 1983
Keke Rosberg - 1982
Jody Scheckter - 1979
James Hunt - 1976

Alonso - 2005 and 2006. Renault reliability FTW!

Quote from m4ccy :

When you are waiting for something for so long it will damage your soul longing for it lol.

I suggest forget the idea was ever thought up, then 1 day when /if it does come out you will be pleasantly surprised.

It will be like a bonus :P

I was like that when threads like these were brought up again...
The bitching and moaning stopped after 0.6A came out, pity that this started all over again :/

Quote from spacedskunk :

You should try some of the BBC podcasts, this one is good

http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/timc

It's been a while since I went there, used to listen to Friday Night Comedy and Jon Holmes podcasts before I got hooked on Moyles. Thanks for the link, I'm enjoying the banter!

Quote from cargame.nl :

More talking? What do you Spanish and Portuguese have with talking?

The radiostations over there are crowded with so called 'dj's' who like to hear themselves all-the-time, terrible. If I want to hear useless talking then I would install girl V.1x.0 in the car... [...]..

I deleted the last one because of talking.

Shame on you. With the kind of (crap) music being played today, I'd rather have people talking instead. That's why I usually listen to Chris Moyles (a chatterbox), who spends 2 hours talking in a 3h30m show (and the music is pure shit).
Although there are some limits, like not sounding too cheesy or smug. And I've never seen anyone not like a talking DJ on radio.

WTF'd at the flip. Man you were lucky

Quote from eshorty :

seems i forgot to say these are not my drifts, its movie for my friend and there are his drifts

we can smell a lie like a fart in a car, man. So if you expect people to believe that, you'll have to come up with evidence!

This is good stuff! Loved the music and the links as well, just wish there was a bit more of talking

Screw the race, my snake's never been this long! One more apple, come on!

This is a tough one, everyone's pics are really good

BMW is to pull out from Formula 1 at the end of this season, in order to start working on a mental facility.

Quote from Hahmo :

Test race date changed to 7th of October.

All the confirmations are accepted.

I actually thought I had signed up already late for the race (pretty much why I deleted my post to begin with)
