Joachim Witt - Goldener Reiter

Not from the 80's but that song always reminds me of this somehow:

Quote from boothy :

He was held behind the SC queue at the red right, did a lap or so on softs then went to the hards again on the SC inlap - but when it was clear he wasn't going to make any places up many laps later he went back to the softs for some test running.

He pitted on lap 15 or so to change from hard to soft... thats beyond stupid imho. He should have done the same as Kobayashi.

Quote from J@tko :

IIRC Ted Kravitz said they'd given up and were doing a test session.

They gave up when he was on 3rd place?

Btw, can anyone explain me the idea behind Mercedes strategy for Schumacher?

He starts on hard tires (which can nearly last the whole race, see Kobayashi), pits under SC, a lap after the whole field pitted and changes to SOFT, just to change back a few laps later. Thats just stupid...

That SC thing was stupid...

1) why didn't it come out before Vettel. As he would have got stuck behind Kobayashi as well...
2) to me it looked like Hamilton was unsure what to do braked first and then changed his mind
3) it needed 13 laps to come up with a penalty

That the penalty didn't change his position is something you can't blame Hamilton for. Kobayashi managed to keep the rest behind him so the gap was there.

The SC-Situation gets signaled at start finish so the leader should have to slow down that much that the SC can come out directly in front of him...

Great race from Kobayashi, we need more of that. I belive he scared the shit out of Alonso with that move, while Buemi gets his butt kicked from Torro Rossi for loosing it in the last corner...

Anyway, apart from Kamui having way better tires at the end I still think that Valencia is a very dull and boring track. No charisma. Also showed that it's pretty impossible to pass another car that has a similar speed.

Too bad it's cancelled instead of being postponed, but it would have been more of an endurance race anyway.

That leads me to the following suggestion as I would like to drive on KY3 too: Couldn't we modify the rules to "60 laps or 1h45 time limit" for the next season?

Germany 4 - England 1 (2)

+1 for Billy Idol and MJ

Quote from BOSCHO :

Happy 60 pages

I'm on page 36

Wow, didn't expect that

Qual wasn't that great as I didn't really managed a proper 2nd sector, but still managed to sneak into the front row which is a season best for me I think.

I was pretty confident to have a proper race set and given the fact that South City has no curbs to flip the car I was aiming for a good result. Start was ok and I wanted to play cool for the first couple of laps and settle down a bit. But opportunity came in lap 2 and I set myself next to Torppaa on the backstraight. But apparently he didn't notice me being left at his rear tire and pulled over so my front touched his rear wheel and sent him into the barriers.
From that point on it was kinda more about staying focused and keep up my pace as I was slightly faster than the guys behind me.

Nice to finish a race for a change

Sadly I'll have to miss next weeks AS3 race (or can me move that a week?), so enjoy your race there

Morcheeba - Beat Of The Drum

I think I suggested it a couple of time now, so I have no hopes of ever seeing it inside lfs...

At first I think that the DC problem is only relevant for endurance racing or races that are above the +1 hour mark and secondly that you'd have to prevent people gaining an advantage from having a sudden timeout and rejoin with a fixed car, new tires and a full tank.
On the other hand it is quite confusing for the driver once he rejoins that he can't tell anymore where he is and which cars he is racing as he'll always get a blue flag when he is near an other car.

I don't know how "easy" it would be to store the car state (fuel, tires, damage) via the server, concidering that in endurance racing not always the driver that timed out will rejoin and continue but his teammate...

An easy start would be to add an admin command like

/addlap <number of laps> <name>
/dellap <number of laps> <name>

which could be used for other stuff as well like penalties.

Just my 2 cents.

You understood it wrong. I know how the license works, but my parents wont use their credit cards to buy it from the goddamn site.

So you buy it from another site?

I think you are refering to this site: http://store.4players.de/2.0/4 ... he/0.html?suchbegriff=lfs . It's basicly just the same as here, you buy a license to unlock the content and you can also buy a CD and a Handbook (I think it's in german only) as option. But the CD should only contain the version you can download from lfs.net.

Hey Victor,

I'd like a Live For Speed cap, is this possible or do you think it might not have enough interest?

Get in the line... I want a coffee mug first

I thought your team was only there for the group phase... Good thing there is no penalty shooting in the first 3 games, eh?

can we pause till football is over?

Quote from VoiD :

Sorry guys, but instead of racing I´ll go watching Germany vs. Australia...

hmm...

I loved the original Driver (Game)and would love to see a proper incarnation of it again. Having that said I fear that Ubisoft has learned nothing and will bundle it with some nice must be online feaute similar to their other games.

Btw: Anyone of you know that there is actually a very cool movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077474/) which I think the game is based on a bit.
