Hamilton! ... oh wait, that's not right is it...

Force India stands out. But the parity among all the teams is quite nice this year.

Quote from TFalke55 :holy what a chrash... koverlainen's one was nothing compared to this. I'm happy the security standards develloped well in motorsports, so nothing worse did happen.

MAGGOT you forgot the Audi R8 LM at the eurospeedway Lausizt, where Michele Alboreto died in 2001. I think there were no pictures about that one, that may be the reason that you did not mentioned this.

A Bentley too right? during testing?

Larry Gunselman is a dumbass, and needs to be shot.

The caution was out for 8 seconds, which in NASCAR FREEZES the FIELD.

Gunselman continues at FULL SPEED, and breaks Franchitti's ankle.


F'ing idiot.

Historic cars (of all types) have been suggested quite a bit.

It would be fantastic though wouldn't it?

Welcome to the forum BTW.

Almost like Schumacher at Silverstone in.... 98? Broke his leg in that one.

This car looks very very "kit-car" from some of the angles. The interior looks a complete afterthought.

It's similar to the quality, cheap, fast idea. You can only have 2 of the 3.

Road Car, Race Car, Kit Car (unfinished). You can only have two of the 3. This looks like a kit race car.

Anything special to differientiate this from the other dozen or so wannabe super-car makers?

Big engine, decently low weight, MR layout, it's all a bit cookie-cutter. Kudos for not making it 18 bigillion HP as standard though.

Why you have a conceivable point in there, it's largely lost in your fanaticism and poor grammar.

As for the last part, it's similar to your loose perhaps misconstrued translation of Senna's quote. You're definition of "Drive" is someone out there who races. This is fine, but it is completely devoid of the requirement of skill, which is part of the "drive" the V1 folks are looking for, by employing LFS as a tool.

Wow... Fantastic opinion.

nice! I sat with my e6750 at 8x400 for quite a while. The quads need more northbridge voltage as the FSB gets higher afaik. Grats on the nice OC, and great rig.

What i'm most interested in is what LFS lacks currently. If it doesn't have changing track conditions (oil, water and dirt), weather, broken bumpers and radiators, dynamic time and temperatures, it can't possibly justify the continuing fees imo.

iRacing would have to be Shockingly good to even make me think about subscribing.

Sound is nice, but the content has to be deep, really deep, to justify the price.

Quote from Jakg :Core 2 Duo's are faster in most current games, but more and more games are becoming multi-threaded which take advantage of all 4 cores. If you will be using this PC for a while, then Quad core is the way to go (on a £1k rig), but if you plan on upgrading it "every now and then" then an E8400 would tide you over 'till Nehalem^.

^Note: Nehalem will be a rather large "upgrade", as it ushers in a new socket (read: new motherboard) and DDR3 only (iirc).

Should be fantastic though.

I believe there needs to be a rather in-depth look at the potential short-comings of a bottom side impact.

F1 cars (and most open wheel vehicles) are more susceptible towards becoming airborne than their fendered brotheren. The bottom of these cars are largely devoid of any "crush" structures, and the driver sits right on the ground.

Replay the in-car of the Kubica crash. The nose of the car returned downward just before the head-on wall impact, resulting in almost "the ideal" crash. IF the nose of the car had still been in the air, the car would have impacted the bottom of the BMW, and almost all the force would have bypassed the crush zones. It would have easily resulted in massive forces acting on the back and spine of Kubica.

Tracks also need to be improved. The standard Catch-Fence common to NASCAR and now most tracks does work well at keeping flying cars out of the stands. Unfortunately, it also can act like a cheese-grater to open wheel cars. Also, they are still susceptible to flying wheels and tires. (see Villenueve's '01 Australia crash that claimed the life of a track worker, or 96(?) Charlotte IRL crash).

Are current racing cars phenomenally safe? Yes, but there is more to do and the efforts and pace of improving the safety of the cars need to never be lowered.

Quote from Shotglass :another option would be the pva eizo 20" and 22" monitors which if im not mistaken about the panel in the dell (pva if im not mistaken) should give the same image quality with less blurring due to a more modern panel

Hey Shot,

Can you recommend a 24" lcd, or somewhere that list what panel = what brand?

Like AJP, I'm in the market for something new, and wondering what the better LCD's are.

Telemetry said he went from over 165mph to Stopped (forwards anyways) in just over a foot.

True testement to the SAFER barriers and the COT.

Plus when you look at it, the car kept moving around the track after the collision, which means less energy absorbed directly by the driver. (i.e. another part of what went wrong with the Earnhardt wreck)

Fantastic! That really is phenomenal.

I see more carbon fibre shreads and tears after T1 tomorrow. Its going to be a LFS start, with the LFS car in the lead (to begin with anyway).

Quote from baSh0r :Nice Qualifign by Mr. Kubica

AT the Hamilton Crash, the marshall right at the barrier he moves like 2 seconds after the incident Cool guy

lol... yeah, he was in charge of looking down track, and none of his buddies decided to grab him...

Very nice setup! Best of luck with it, and keep us posted with the results!

OT:

1) Speed over timings, Intels apparently love speed, so I'm guessing 5:4
2) Voltage and Temps, 45nm duals have become voltage limited, not temperature limited. Keep your voltage under 1.36 and your temps under 70C at load for a long healthy CPU life.

FYI: It sounds like you've heard of the FSB limitations on quads, 460ish for max 24/7. This is as the quad puts substantially more load on the northbridge (IIRC). While substantiated under 65nm C2D's, you're an early adopter to 45nm quad warfare, so let us know what you find.

Quote from tristancliffe :I beg to differ. Heel and Toeing on the limit, with an h-gate shifter, whilst racing in a group of cars (especially in wet weather) IS a skill, and it's a skill generally lacking in 'modern' racers. And that's just one aspect of mechanical sympathy, and it's all a skill of some sort.

Personally I think that's a shame, but it's progress, and it's undoubtedly quicker.

Fantastic post. Couldn't agree more actually

Quote from thisnameistaken :I've been using my 226BW for a year now and I have yet to find a use for all that space I've saved behind my monitor.

Or maybe I'm supposed to put it all the way at the back of my desk? It would probably make the obvious brightness gradient from top to bottom slightly less annoying.

Well, if you've been to college, moving in and out of dorms and apartments, moving in every fall, out every summer for four or so years + any extended winter holidays, 110lbs can be much more annoying than 15lbs.

Also some classes actually had work that needed pen and paper, and thus desk-space not occupied by 110lb crt's.

Sorry we don't all get off wallowing in awe of a uniform-gradient background.
