and some more parts for my car...

Actually I think that some off road action could be fun. It would definatly be something very different from the usual racing.

Quote from JCTK :

on a sidenote, not much seems to have been said about Schumacher's ambitous move round the outside into T1. Yes it was a racing incident, but since he was the guy that came from behind making the really late braking move, he should've known very well that there were two cars down there on the inside~?

On german TV they blamed Button for basicly being there... The way I see it Alonso simply ignored Button being next to him and turned into the corner causing him to spin and the rest that happend. Normal racing accident is what is was and surprisingly also what the race marshals (Kristensen) seemed to say by not even investigating it.

Come on, stop bashing Hamilton for an honest reaction instead of the typical public relations "bla bla". Of course he is disappointed, he is there to win not to come 2nd... Just shows that he is very motivated.

No big deal, so move on next week.

EDIT:
But he has partly to blame himself too. As he doesn't need to refuel he could ignore the team when he thinks that the tires are good and just go on

I set the T7R Teamserver (powered by 500) up in case someone is interested in some laps till Franky sorts it

Quote from Mustafur :

That was an awesome race however the greasy conditions where to thank for it, we still have to see how it will be when its dry.

Yes. If you look at the stats from lap 33 on or so (Hamilton pit), you'll notice that any passing (sucessfull) manouvers are practicly not existent. Button and Kubica were set on their positions after lap 10 when everyone changed to dry tires. Having a close pack is ok, even Kubica getting a deserved 2nd, but the fact that nearly noone was even able to make a move after it was dry doesn't qualify for me as a good race. Sorry.

EDIT:
First half was great though

And I still belive some will fail to be on time

I suspect Bridgestone to accidently mixed up their delivery and therefor F1 is currently using endurance tires. Anyway, I think Hamilton showed that you can push the tires quite a bit and that they won't break down (could be weather / track related though) instantly after you push for more than 2 laps as everyone suspected in Manama. That the soft compound lasts the whole race and is still faster than a tirechange is the other issue that should be looked at.

Btw, I think more people would have pitted if there wasn't the 60 km/h (thank you Charly Whiting) pit limit. If people would loose less time in the pits another strategy would actually make sense...

And remember that we have now summertime...

Good thing we had some bits of water for the first laps to cause a bit of carnage and some sliding cars.

BUT, I think this race was in the most aspects the same as the first one as it showed that everything else that the one obvious mandatory stop for the tire change is the better strategy due cars not being able to overtake each other. The winner pitted on lap 6, changed to the soft compound and finished without having any tire trouble. I don't think that should be possible, even with a car being very easy on the tires. Hamilton was over 1,5 secs faster than Kubica when closing up and couldn't pass and he was about 1 second faster when closing up on Alonso at the end. Sure both are good drivers but with that speed difference it should be at least possible to make a move...

Congrats to Button for being the first with balls and dry tires and winning it while Red Bull might invest some more money for QM

Quote from Gerdoner :

I know that meh racing's CSF has signed up after race 2... did you delete him on purpose (mind you, I'd remove him, too :razz, or...

Probably just Frankies habbit of deleting random stuff

Btw: does anyone want a few kilos from my car?

The website seems rather bugged atm. And I noticed you are using my blackwood race report

Quote from Shotglass :

isnt it comforting to know that there a companies out there that make decisions to their customers benefit?

Thanks Shot... you just broke my irony detector.

EDIT
I have seen Tron again, a visual masterpiece considering it was done in the early 80's.

Quote from boothy :

I think Morgan is referring to the amount of drivers in the spdo db, though not all will be S2.

And not all will be listed. The usual rules for statistics do also apply to the spdo one
(Some might stopped playing lfs a long time ago)

On topic: Apparently it does, otherwise they would either charge more money or go out of business. And it's not really ours to know the figures either.

EDIT:

Quote from Scawen :

...
At the moment we are gradually approaching 60,000 S2 licenses.

Quote from sidi :

Seems like i benefited from all the misfortune

Pretty hectic start then some nice laps chasing 3j before he decided i was to annoying so off he went into the distance

Nothing much else happened but i still enjoyed the race and the main thing i took from this race was the same as the 1st race.........make a pass on someone and make it stick.

As long as you don't pass me I'm fine
But I do enjoy our little battles on track.

yay... an even heavier car

Grats to my teammate for being fast and ruleproof

The problem are that the tires are lasting to long... if they would just last around 100 km drivers would be forced to pit and they'd push since there is no sense about saving the tires anymore. Having that said the difference between the 2 tire sorts should be bigger like the softer compound being 1 sec faster but le'ts say only lasts 80 km. That would spice it up a bit.

But the way we have it now is that the "hard" tire seems to be an endurance tire which kills the racing for sprint cars...

That was quite the race also I had no chance to get near the podium thanks to the 36kg in my trunk

Boring race. People still not able to overtake each other unless one car has a problem and tires last way too long to make it interesting. Driving on a parking lot didn't help either.
Looking at the result the main reason for the new point system is to give the average team points as well. (2 Fer, 2 Mer, 2 McL, 2 Rbr).

Next race please.

+1 for wider tires and less aerodynamics

Quote from MoMo92i :

• The correct lap 111
• The cars (/teams) involved #44 E-Team & #09 Speedcore
• The lap/sector/time 2nd sector, 3h00s.
• And a short description from your point of view. Speedcore try to lap us, Nicolas Vallée stay on outside whereas A. Araujo is in the inside. He brake earlier and was slower than Vallée in the turn entry, so he stop braking and hit Vallée which send him into gravels loosin 10s and causing minor damage.

Car #09 used the handbrake to make the pass, causing #09 to loose their rear on corner which resulted in #09 rearend hitting #44 and sending them into the gravel.

DT for #09 - causing a collosion
