Please allow this merger to go through, and allow CART to die once and for all. Tony George is a terrible person for destroying American Open-Wheel Racing. Hopefully he can see it go somewhat full circle, though I fear it will never reach its previous heights.

Awesome!!!

Small tip just in case any one didn't know:

Be sure to try you set in a couple different sessions, as wind direction can change the balance dramatically.

Carpe Diem.... I'm There.

Quote from Eleanor SpeedGT :

Yeah, totally agree with you..

+1 again.... just not the same with out the H.C.O.T.M.

Sounds like a good upgrade. If you've got capable hardware (PCI-E 16x & >350watts), you should be in for a huge jump upward.

My first post was somewhat tounge-in-cheek, but it was a comment on the fact I don't understand the appeal either.

Truthfully, I believe drifting/racing is a right brain/left brain type of difference. Science/Arts.

Racing is masculine. It is about competition, winning, ultimate speed, engineering, technology, etc. The objectives are very concrete: Win, Go The Fastest.

Drifting is abstract and has intangible objectives. Hence why it is a judged sport.

I have little doubt that talent in drifting is a difficult skill set.

But just like the original post, some people (myself included) will never feel the appeal of it.

Simple:

Those who can, Race. Those who cannot, Drift.

Has the Car Balancing been finalized?

Quote from BenjiMC :

Yes, 15 kg for FZR

Bummer, but I figured it belonged in this thread.

Did you guys hear the news a few weeks ago?

Good Race. SC School needs to be put in session now.

Sorry to my teamates.

Man, mohommed just SMASHED into the CR car....

Hence he is not driving

"practice" race

Nice Qual Session, good luck everyone!

Why is P.Heinonin on the racing line sitting there for 2 laps now...

Well, by definition, German cars are like the Terminator. If they show(/evoke) emotion they fail their mission.

Quote from UncleBenny :

Stupid drifters.

+1

Always a pleasure sharing the track with you.

From one Stu to another,
Happy Birthday and many returns!

Typically some Sim makers use a half/half flag Union Jack/Stars&Stripes for English. I was just hoping to avert any poorly misinformed Americans from making fools of our country.

Where's the American Flag under the Language list?















... lol... sorry i had to... especially before someone seriously said that.

Quote from AlienT. :

Am I right in saying the e46 M3 CSL was not released in North America?

Hmm... I don't rightly know. Perhaps only a handfull if we did?

God.... It would be cool if we got an ///M-Power Motorsport Pack:

E30 M3 (Could compete with the mGTRs)
M3 CSL 3.0
E36 M3 GTR (Start our GT3 class)
E92 M3 GTR (483 HP would fit in nicely with the GTR's)

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

Furthermore, I worry that bigger/quicker teams would enter multiple cars and force the smaller teams out on a regular basis. If a league did it this way there would almost certainly have to be no multi-car teams allowed.

Conversely, its the smaller "shoestring" teams that are more likely to flake out than the 8+ driver super teams, who have the manpower, experience, and organization to reliably bring 2+ cars to a race.

Should the bigger teams have to kick there non-top 3-4 drivers out, just to give them the opportunity to race in IGTC, even if they're more prepared/faster/experienced than a small team?

Why should members of a large team be punished for being members of a large team?

In LFS, everyone's got the same equipment, no advantage over smaller teams.

And again, despite having 40 something teams entered throughout the series last year, we never had more than 17 show up, over 2 weeks out of the first race (which at least 1 team has already decided a no-show). Hardly, not enough time IMO.

*This is an idea purely for the sake of dialogue*

What would be your thoughts as to letting more entrants into the series, and have legitimate qualifications on speed?

Top 29 race, below that don't.

Thoughts for it:
1) I doubt even with 40 teams entered that we would have to cut cars on race day.
(Teams always fail to show up; we Averaged 13.25 teams per race last season and our largest field was 17)
2) Encourage teams to really prepare
3) Legitmately make it a full competitive entrance (without the safety of a guarenteed spot)

Obviously not for a test race, but I believe this could boost the average race attendance and competitiveness of the series.

I think you mean 3,6 Ghz? But is intel that much faster? (600 Mhz more and twice as fast).

D'OH!!
