Quote from RiddinGT :WTF Drifting is not Racing?! Drifting is ALL about Racing and speed!!!

Drift is the fastest way of driving a corner, especially on a Downhill.
The only reason why they dont drift in most Motorsports are the Tyres. Cause they drive too many rounds and need to safe there tyres.
But on Mountain you race Max. 3 Minutes so Drift is a good option to drive good times on a Mountain, even if not that easy.



And about Points
Indeed its just a waste of time to drift for Points.
We're not in D1GP here, we have no skilled judges just some realy dumb server sided Point-System what u can Cheat with Drifting on straights ect.

Thats it.
The most Points-Drifter are just kidz who has no idea about Drifting and Drives Slalom on straights to get more points, and call it Arab-Drift haha XD.

They just ruin the real Drift, a advanced Racing Technique to drive corners really fast.

Drifting as a driving technique is indeed racing but has nothing to do with "style" or "showoff". It is purely used to go faster from A to B, altough at a cost, not to impress the crowd.

Drifting as in showing off (Formula Drift etc) has nothing to do with racing but is a seperate sport. Just like Cycling and BMX Freestyle are two different sports altough they both use a bicycle.

Just because drifting is not racing doesn't mean there is no overlap

Quote from Shade Of Neon :If so, isnt drag racing about speed? so to be the best and get reputation you need to SHOWOFF speed and talent? To get sponsers in Circuit racing you need to SHOWOFF you skill with controll of the car. So your telling me that showing off is just a waste?

Regards,

Neon

Nope.

I've never really seen the issue of this. Racing is not drifting and drifting is not racing. Racing is going from A to B in the least amount of time, drifting is to score points.

Doesn't matter whether you take circuit racing, drag racing, hillclimb, rally etc. Winner is the person who gets from A to B in the lowest amount of time. Drifting is about showing off, not getting from A to B in the lowest amount of time. Therefor, two seperate sports.

Any sport with a judge is pointless. Be it with horses, gymnastics, drifting, etc. Sports should be easily measurable (eg score most amount of points, get from A to B in the least amount of time). Any sport which includes a judge who is measuring things you do is a sport I cannot take serious.

Aside of that, I don't really see why you would use something to 'showoff' instead of going fast. Doesn't matter if they're using cars, horses, bikes, skateboards etc. Doesn't mean it is not good, or you're not having a talent, just don't see the point or need.

Quote from MAGGOT :While this will abolish organized crime based on drugs, it will just mean that those involved will find a new illegal resource. Weapons? Khat? People smuggling?


You'll never eliminate it, unfortunately. Of course, legalizing drugs will help, somewhat.

I was actually more referring to those who are addicted and 'must' commit crimes to get enough money to pay the (overpriced) drugs.

Quote from Luke.S :You do know I was poking fun at the OP. Personally I don't drink and have never tried smoking (don't plan on it.) I agree with the Dutch government drugs should be a legal government controlled resource. I hope they do it here.

Failed point of sarcasm then


They should make all kinds of drugs legal and tax them. Will result in lower prices, less theft etc.

Quote from Luke.S :Don't go to Holland, Drugs are legal there.

Like it should be. Alcohol and tobacco are drugs (and far worse than marijuana!) but both are legal everywhere. Why? taxes.

How many times have you used alcohol and tobacco? If you're so deeply against drugs, stop using both.

Quote from marzman :Isn't that what iRacing is? With a bigger marked it would be cheaper for the consumer but i don't think development of iracing was cheap (i don't know if it was "milions" but i don't think it was cheap compared to other "games").

I've read somewhere that they spend around 16 million dollar

Pretty much every IMSA GTP race is available on DVD. I have about 25-35 races. Pretty cool stuff. Last thursday I got a live broadcast of the '93 Sebring 12 Hours.

All those races are available to trade over at the trading forum: http://www.dag-nabit.com/trading/forum/index.php

If Hitler wouldn't existed, it would've taken quite a longer time before the manufacturers were able to create such a developed machines like the Mercedes-Benz and Auto-Union.

Call me horrible, but one thing that Hitler did good was to send money to Mercedes and Auto-Union. With that money they developed such an amazing cars and created the best era in motorsport to date.

Quote from th84 :That is the same thing mine is doing. I have to re-name the exe each time I open it.

Dont you have LFS open twice? If the exe files are called differently there wont be an error, otherwise LFS/Windows comes up with a "another instance open" error and the screen stays black.

Quote from Jakg :I have 3 (2x 7200.7's in RAID0 and 1x 7200.10), all connected via SATA.

Hasn't done it since I posted this thread, though :X

Can you go to the BIOS and see if it mentions anything about the hard disks being in master or slave mode?

I had the error at work aswell (at my intern I helped at a helpdesk), and I got the same error once.

How many hard disks do you have? I cant really remember that well, but I believe the error had to do with the harddisks both in master/slave mode (altough its amazing the PC would boot then).

at the club events I can go and walk wherever I want, but at DTM I had to spend 20 euro on a ticket to be able to go to the paddock, even if I got a gold card

I dont see what is wrong with Fern Bay. I mean,hell, they even race GTs on this track:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVl_SagcCCw

It looks somewhat to Fern Bay, and it even hosted a round of the World Sportscar Championship, so its fine

DTM > WTCC by far.

I tried to like the WTCC for several years, but every race just seems boring to me. S2000 cars are way too slow (atleast they seem to be so slow). EuroSTC/ETCC was far better when there still were SuperTouring cars.

DTM is also not really a touring car series. The cars are silhouettes.

I agree DTM is not what it used to be, but the glory days where in the 90s anyway. Sadly FIA had to ruin the series, as they did with all the series.

I have been a race fan since birth, but the oldest game I can remember are Accolade Grand Prix, GP500 II and Toyota Celica Rally (I dont know what it was exactly called).

I must have been around 2 years old when I played that!
