Quote from buedi :

Everyone can have his opinion of course. If this is yours that´s fine.
In my point of view I am sick of so called "Simulators" with the Nordschleife where I only had fun for minutes because of the bad physics. I hope AC changes this and I finally will have good physics paired with the Track I like so much.
Yes, TT would also be fantastic, so would be the Targa Florio. For those I go back to GPL still.

Also, the Nordschleife for me is not (only) about driving the insanely fast cars. I´d rather have some more Stock / slower and low grip cars like we have them in LFS for example (XF GTI, UFR, RB4 etc...), where you have to manage your energy on some parts (for example the right hander after the Ex-Mühle where it goes up the hill... if you waste your energy with a slower care on that corner you lose tons of time).

But as I said: Everyone can have his opinions. But I hope that the market can and will have something for everyone out there

Not saying one or the other, just that everybody has the Nordschleife (which I still only truly enjoy in GPL), so having a "halo" track that no one else has would be a good USP.

Quote from buedi :

Good physics, THE Track and a bunch of cars.

Nordschleife is lovely and all that, but it's been around so many sims in so many iterations it would be cool for AC to have a different "signature" track.

IOM TT Course would be cool and arguably better suited to the fastest cars. I also already have it memorised

More power is no bad thing. We don't really know what the fuel consumption restrictions will do though.

The 90s called, they want their game back.

Ron Dennis is back as CEO at McLaren. Whitmarsh out, Brawn in?

That's a let down.

Quote from amp88 :

That's part of the system (along with possibly using KERS). However, many/most teams were using cylinder cut this season and the KERS system explained above isn't against the rules either. Hence why I was asking if Funnybear had any proof that Vettel's car was illegal, or if he was just crowing along with the mindless drone of repetition.

I'm waiting for him to post the Mark Webber picture from Canada, which also shows who shot JFK and proves that we didn't land on the moon.

As for the points, Martin Brundle summed it up as "an answer to a question that no one was asking".

Seems about right.

Quote from tristancliffe :

The cost cap, if workable, is very important, and should have been done years ago.

It wasn't done years ago because it is unworkable.

They could look towards MotoGP. Factories now produce a slightly lower spec bike (Honda's Production Racer is only different to the works bike in respect of the ECU and the valves), but these "Open" class bikes get other advantages = more fuel, more engines, softer tyres. You can buy a HRC bike and have it updated for two seasons for EUR 1.3m. Peanuts.

In F1, adopt the privateer concept. Marussia buys chassis from McLaren, pops an engine in and goes racing. They use their R&D budget to do this so it is not wasted developing a shit car and the big teams get some money back on their much better R&D.

Do that, and we'll be back to pre-qualifying within 3 years.

Quote from BlueFlame :

Drivers can now choose what number they have... wtf


Well I ain't watchin F1 anymore. I used to enjoy it as a sport. Now it's more similar to a pantomime or NASCAR.

Good. Stop posting then. If you renege on this matter of principle then all respect for you as a human being is lost.

Please stay strong.

Quote from Kid222 :

Had him in my fantasy, got more than half of points just from him. Epic stuff.

So have Liverpool. Needs to stay fit and behave or they'll end up a mid table team like Man Utd.

Quote from The Moose :

Same here. If I had no wheel I simply wouldn't simrace.
It doesn't feel like simracing if you're not using a wheel. It feels like gaming. No satisfaction. No point.

Quote from BlueFlame :

@gerrard video There's a difference between 'diving' and just avoiding contact and going down anyway to ensure a foul is given. Do you people not understand football or what? Do you want these players to get injured rather than avoid the contact? Very bizarre.

If you think the last clip on that video was Gerrard bravely jumping out of the way of a vicious tackle, then there's no hope for you.

There's one clip that doesn't belong on that video where he jumps a tackle but stumbles getting his shot away - no contact but a foul. That's because contact and fouling are not one and the same thing. Feeling a touch and collapsing like a sack of spuds is cheating because you can be touched but not fouled.

Suarez discussions are so boring. Let's bash Steven Gerrard instead - that never gets old

Quote from BlueFlame :

Both players stayed on the pitch did they not? Can't have been that bad. Remember Suarez actually had blood drawn from his knee from two wholes created by Mirallas' studs and still played a great game.

Guess what? You're wrong. Mirallas was subbed and was out for three months.

Ankle ligament damage is a bit worse than a gash and a bruise.

I recall one appalling start when he somehow put the Jag on the front row in Malaysia - 2nd to 9th or 10th.

Baines broke his toe from a no quibble accidental tread on the boot. It's an issue that the clubs need to address as they are the ones losing players because of it.

Maybe they should be wearing these miracle boots that are infinitely strong, flexible and light that Blueflame has been studying so carefully.

Yeah Storm Cloud, because standing on someones foot is just like a knee height, studs up tackle.


You appear to have missed the gif where Barry stamps on Suarez foot if you're going to play that game

Well one was out for three months, the other seemed to be close to death on Saturday but somehow survived and finished the game. In fact, the physio was so sure that Suarez was seriously injured he ran on at full steam to shout at the referee to send Mirallas off rather than tend to the player.

The point of my point is that for Liverpool fans to bleat about refereeing decisions is a bit rich. Mirallas should have been a red card, no problem there.

Quote from BlueFlame :

If Suarez made the tackle Mirallas did then it would've been red for sure. Not sure what the first gif is even about. It's easy to stand on someones feet by mistake, i do it to my wife all the time and she doesn't jump around holding her foot like a pussy.

He was out for three months with ligament damage after that. If you think that looks accidental and you do that to your wife all the time then you've got bigger problems than just being wrong about everything on this forum every day.

Quote from The Moose :

Great game, though it aged me 20 years and i want to shoot Joe Allen ...and the ref. How Kevin Mirallas didn't get a red for that tackle on Suarez i'll never know. The ref completely bottled it.

Although internet warriors are fuelled by pontification and high principles (that they're never judged on themselves), F1 teams need money.

So you'd hire Hulkenberg? Which departments would you close to save the money to make up for not taking a pay driver? Wind Tunnel? R&D? Maybe you could get some fans to make up the pit crew each weekend?

So, who's driving Kimi's Lotus this weekend?

He's had a great career and will leave having achieved so much. Good luck in your next career Dario.

Quote from IsaacPrice :

Getting that right is about as hard as getting 2+2 right. The fact you're proud of that tells a story all by itself.

And it was an hour after I wrote exactly the same thing.

Magnusson confirmed at McLaren
