I love those comments on youtube, no idea what they say but seems like angry spanish people And that video shows it all really.

that video was in english.illepall you must have another link.

ANYWAY....

is fisi lost his 3 fatest laps there will be HELL TO PAY if schumi doesn't get a panalty.

speedfreak227

this is signifigant

speedfreak227

the should do what champ car does, take away a driver's fast lap if they cause a track closure!

speedfreak227

i would like a button that goes from whatever gear you're in down to second gear for the F1 car.

that would actually be useful. and they have that in real too.

speedfreak227

most marathons have a higher death rate than most car races. maybe not more deaths per competitor, but definately more deaths per event. marathons are still run.

speedfreak227

my goal in turn one is to have nobody behind me to nail me. i brake gently and early. tires are cold, speeds aren't at full, why lock up and get a flat spot.

Nah, that's nothing, have a read of this.

yeah, someone should kick Mosley in the nuts until blood comes out of his ears. he's such a moron.

speedfreak227

D looks like a sunbeam tiger to me. but it's been a while since i've seen one.

speedfreak227

it might be the worst race of the season but i think it's going to be the best qualifying of the season. 22 cars trying to set a quick lap in 15 minutes? CHAOS!

Quote from moezus :

Hi Micha,

thanks for your prompt reply. It actualy mainly happens with left turn corners if that makes any difference?

if your left rear tire is locking up in a left hand corner that's just because the car is leaning to the right and weight is being transfered off of it.

that's natural.

do more braking in a straight line to prevent this.

speedfreak227

what are peoples' thoughts on this?
itv-f1.com
grandprix.com <--- excellent article from an excelent website
tsn.ca

personally, i can see Max Mosley's point that it will reduce some INSANE costs. but he doesn't seem to be addressing the biggest problem: after the first race, any team with a good engine know's they're safe in that respect for the next 3 years. any team who is down on power know they HOOPED for the next 3 years.

let's say you're a midfield team trying to break through (BAR, toyota, BMW). how motivated are you going to be if you know your engine is just not up to the task FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS?!?!?!?!?!!?illepall

the article on grandprix.com makes mosley look pretty bad in my opinion. most other websites just copy the general press release and regurjitate the same info. grandprix.com goes behind the story quite often and gives some very insightful views.

Quote from ChrisBsim :

The Logitech wheel is quite a few years old now, but still an excellent wheel as it has cable driven force feedback rather than geared which gives a smoother more realistic feel imho. Its the red Formula Force with pedals.

i had that wheel and the cables work hardened and snapped eventually. buying a used one of the original wheels is a bit sketchy in my opinion. but it did feel good while it worked.

Quote from Reed :

I think he means in LFS. What JeffR said is true in real life physics. A little off topic, but have you guys had a collision and stuck to the car in front of you? I experienced this with the AI a couple nights ago. Very strange

yeah, you didn't know about the magnetic bumper patch?

kinda strange eh?

Quote from K.David :

On what track were you driving those times?
PS: I don't think you can put R1 tyres on GTR cars

aston normal i think it's called. the one that most people race the gtr's on.
thanks, i didn't know about the R1's

speedfreak227

I was trying out some long runs in the fz50 gtr. I had 50-70% fuel and was running consistant 1:45 to 46's. Once my tire temps had reached equilibrium after 8 or 9 laps, I paused and wrote down the temps.

------outside middle inside
FrontL - 89 - 80 - 82
FrontR - 55 - 73 - 78
RearL - 78 - 90 - 93
RearR - 65 - 84 - 90

I'm going to try some changes but I'm wondering if i'm using good logic.
I'm going to try changing the camber to put more pressure on the outsides of the wheels and go from R2's on all four corners to R1's up front.

Is this a logical step?

I wish i lived in the US!!!

hey, quit complaining. i think the UK has far more racetracks and karting tracks per sqaure mile than north america. i'd rather be over there or in europe where racing is more popular

speedfreak227

i would love to see some of the non linear acceleration/velocity vs. time graphs that other teams are using to accuse Ferrari of cheating with.

anyone seen them anywhere?

speedfreak227

let me stoke the fire one more time

speedfreak227

that was hilarious.

is there a way to save a copy of that?

speedfreak227

You da man

i knew it was a simple boot up problem. strangely, the insternet hook up guy couldn't figure it out when he was here.

thanks again.

Quote from xapexcivicx :

Well, for starters unplug your cable modem (the power cord) and then unplug the ethernet to your computer...Make sure the router is off, then plug an ethernet wire from your modem into the router's internet port, then plug another ethernet cord from port 1 of the router to your computer's NIC...

Then powerup the modem by plugging in the power cable, then once that's booted up, plug in the router.

I know that's a bit "Easy and obvious" but usually that would do the trick...

If you can connect to the LAN perfectly fine, then make sure your default gateway is 192.168.1.1 (Or the IP address of the router if you have it configured differently)

You can do that through control panel/network settings/right click on local area network/properties/ TCP IP protocol/properties and then put it in through there.

i just moved from edmonton to vancouver and i'm hooked up with the same internet provider, but now my router won't work.

i'm hooked up directly to the net right now but i'd rather run through the router.

i'm not very computer-tech savy so can anyone offer any suggestions?

ask me whatever you need to know and i'll find it out if i can.

thanks,

speedfreak227

i'm stuck on hill 2, but i don't want any hints.

i'm just complaining.

stupid armadillo not getting high enough up to teleport

speedfreak227

i thought the BWM one used LFS.
do you have any links to their sites supporting this? i haven't heard much about either.

speedfreak227

sometimes if i make a really fast coutner steer when the back end is sliding out my calibration goes out. it's a pain.

i have to hit "esc", go to "controles" and move the wheel through a lock to lock rotation.

speedfreak227

i was going in and out of sleep during the race. it started at 5am local time. lucky i was awake for alonso's and schumi's second pit stops. every other time my eyes were open it was boring.
