I'd rather have my server password sent before the event...

Quote from DemoMan :

he no play with user. i log in to user and make picture.

You put A LOT of effort into that edit. Wow, that must've taken some weeks, no, MONTHS to do.

(by the way Demo police, bugger off. Snitch. It's his edit that's important)

I know this thread has gone off-topic, but I'm still going for Renault! (how dare you keep it off the poll)

Quote from CrAZySkyPimp :

Bird? I said chopper

But were you referring to the smaller helicopters in the latest map (Dragon Valley) or the other ones before?
(Sorry for being thick)

Quote from CrAZySkyPimp :

It's really hard with the new overpowered chopper. [/sarcasm]

Are you referring to the littlebird?
It's even harder now that the developers got the players to spend a month playing just to level up (from 20 to 21).

Quote from lukelfs :

Not sure if this has been said already, but it will be set in Los Angeles (Although it's a rumour that apparently is confirmed)

Properly Los Angeles or just a revamped Los Santos?

Quote from TamelCoe :

This better be more like san andreas... GTA IV was bad.

Agree! (EVERY Rockstar game should be like San Andreas (minus the bugs), that game was gold)

Quote from TypeRacing :

It's silly. Aslo it's wierd that admins won't give a shit about those new accounts which are made right after S2 licenced account ban. I think it's wrong. If you are banned, then you should'nt able to post at all. But meh, you are even posting pictures...

there are cases like Shadowww (E. Reijans) whose S2 account got permabanned and now he's stopped being the idiot spammer he used to be.
I don't think Tomba/TamelCoe is going that way though, and who knows what went through his head for him to become an **** in the first place.

Quote from FRZN-95 :

By makin a Multi-Account.

so Tomba got permabanned?

R.I.P Marco Simoncelli, very sad week

Quote from PMD9409 :

Actually a ridiculous amount hate the chase.

Also, more media idiocy. Warning, you will get mad.

I was already fuming after the 3rd paragraph.
Of course, there always are the sensacionalist idiots in journalism who decide to make an unfortunate tragedy a reason why racing should end altogether. Of course, they pick on the large field, the dangerous 1.5 mile track and all the other aspects that made the LV race dangerous. Then they proceed to make up stuff on how racing would've been "shut down" to prevent more deaths, and then start talking about being more strict with safety, proving that they either don't know jack shit of what they're talking about or are just ignoring the numerous improvements done over the years, specially in every sport they (briefly) referred on that article. An article written by some thick bastard who goes on an all-out attack towards something without even getting his/her facts right.
(guess I should've paid more attention to PMD's warning before I went on a rant )

Quote from 5haz :

The fact that Wheldon is named as a NASCAR driver.

I don't really blame him, journalists not getting their facts right just winds people up.

That's a really long list, had no idea there were these many restriction ideas

Can a mod or dev sticky this, btw?

Quote from Bmxtwins :

Had an amnesia attack and posted for #25 again,

Between you and me it's just a question of who's the first one to sign up with the #25, really. Just happened to be two team members with the same favourite number! :doh:

It should just be called the Dallara Wheldon, enough of the stupid codenames for every single-seater.

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..
