I'm not too sure about that.

I take that back! Lightning striking the grandstands now!

Quote from DevilDare :

Hamilton put on inters, bad mistake me thinks, some parts of the track are pouring down

I'm not too sure about that. Everyone else is coming in as well. He also fueled up to the end of the race!

Live timing isn't working very well today actually, there might be something wrong with it.

Madness Toki? THIS IS MALAYSIA!

Who else has got the live timing up? (you can get it on www.f1.com)

Glock on inters. Gamble and it's paying off so far!

Webber+Hamilton are having a great battle and why? KERS!

Everybody in!

Alonso off!

Kimi lost 20 second last lap. That's one pitstop's worth in a lap!

It's raining now though.

Actual racing! Brilliant stuff from Alonso + Webber!

I'll watch for that amp

Rain would be very exciting, but would probably hinder Button...ooh...

Great race so far!

Quote from Kart0fL47 :

I guess you´re right in this.


Andy isnt in my Class so i didnt worry about.


For me its like 616 just accelerated much slower because he wanted to let other pass and dont make any trouble. Thats why he said he is laped out.

To bad i did not save the replay. I hope it will be postet soon.

I did accelerate rather slowly, but by the time I got on the throttle you were already ahead of me! Anyway, let's just drop it now. I can see why you did what you did, but it was against the rules, which were clearly stated.

The replay is here.

Quote from Kart0fL47 :

Like 5 Minutes before. Someone postet in the chat that I AM allowed to overtake that car because its 1 lap behind me in fact. We did not change positions indeed!

Thats the rule of every major Leauge, even like Formula 1!

mfG Kart0fL

It isn't the rules in the NDR LFSBC/NDRC. I think you misunderstood what I said on the server.

Quote from dekojester :

Remember, no overtaking before the start/finish line

Quote from Timdpr :

I'm a lap down btw

I was enquiring as to what to do. F1 rules are:

Quote :

When the circuit has been cleared of the incident that caused the safety car to be deployed, the message "lapped cars may now overtake" is given. Any lapped cars which are between the cars running on the lead lap at the time the safety car was deployed are required to pass the cars on the lead lap and the safety car. They must then proceed around the track at an appropriate speed, without overtaking, and take up position at the back of the line of cars behind the safety car. This change ensures that all cars on the lead lap run consecutive to each other, eliminating any advantage a driver may have had in having lapped cars between himself and a rival. This was introduced after a backmarker failed to get out of the way on a restart at 2006 Australian Grand Prix, thus extending the leader's advantage.

and I was wondering whether I should pass the SC. I got the answer

Quote from dekojester :

Lap car may opt to get out if he wished
We don't require it

which wasn't helpful!

But the point is, if deko says you can't do what you did, you can't do it! You pulled out a 2 second advantage over the guy behind you who didn't pass me before the s/f line. deko, could you think about implementing the F1 rule above to save any further chaos? I was in the way of everyone else.

Quote from Damion1972 :

What number did we get for the car need it for the skin.

35

Quote from samjh :

You find a random $10 note on the ground. Legally, that $10 note can be yours. However, you go out of your way to find the owner and return the note.

A police officer sees the transaction, and somehow mistakes it as a robbery. He arrests the other person and forces him to return the $10 note back to you and charges him.

You could have been honest and said, "no officer, this is actually his and I was giving it back", but decide to shut your mouth and let the other guy suffer.

In time, it turns out there is conclusive proof, that the transaction was not a robbery.

Were you right or wrong?

=====================

Trulli runs off the track during a SC period, and Hamilton overtakes him. Hamilton can legally retain his position, but instead gives the place back to Trulli.

Stewards mistakenly think that Trulli overtook Hamilton under SC, and penalises him.

Hamilton could have been honest and said, "no sirs, I yielded the place back to him because the team told me to", but decides to shut his mouth and let Trulli suffer.

In time, it turns out there is conclusive proof that Hamilton did let Trulli pass him under SC.

Was Hamilton right or wrong?

======================

Lying to the stewards IS cheating. Yes, a season ban would be over-blown, but Hamilton - no, not just Hamilton, but the whole F1 grid - needs to know that lying will be punished.

Otherwise, agreed.

An excellent post, actually. Worth quoting again!

I get a surprisingly good connection on wireless, but it cuts out once or twice a day. Moose, we raced together a couple of weeks ago, was I lagging at all? Or were you too far ahead to notice?

Good on ya for getting this far! You still have a little way to go (well...that depends on where you want to get to :razz so keep it up! It seems like you're doing really well, but once you've cured this problem remember not to lapse into it again. I agree with Becky, cut it out completely. It's tempting to say 'after a while mabye you can start having a few beers again' but that would probably be a very bad idea. Cut it out completely, I'm sure you will feel a lot better and have a much better life for it!

Oh, and good luck with the baby if there is one! You seem like you're really pleased about the possibility, so do it for him/her!

But yeah, you seem to be doing very well! Keep it up - have 2 cans today if you must, then one can next saturday and go clean on sunday! And you could start on the weeks, don't drink on two weekdays next week, then four the week after that, then no more!

Well, okay, you don't have to follow that exactly, you seem to be doing well yourself, but I think it's important to set yourself goals like that. Plus not listening to a word theirishnoob says is a good idea!

Well, enough of my rambling...

I had a couple of incedents, but it was all very friendly, people apologised etc... However:

Lap and Timecode of Incident (as reported by LFS): Lap 26, 43:40.00
Cars involved: 616, 47
Description of incident: Overtaking before the s/f line. Gives me a little tap in the process, but that's marginal. It was even clearly stated a couple of laps back that you shouldn't pass before the s/f line! I don't like to do this, but...he needs to learn the rules.

Hmm, wrong set.

Still, great first few laps! Went 3 wide twice, and had a few battles. Got knocked off the track twice however, once was a racing incedent - someone went wide, then we kinda managed to turn in on each other , but before that Novak got it wrong and slid into me. Made up for it with some great racing though! He overtook me down the long straight, but then I got the inside line for the next corner and took the place back!

Wish the rest of the race had been as good though, set, knackered clutch and tires didn't make for great times.

Some constructive criticism: SC, slow down! I was at 100% trying to stay behind it. Sure enough you didn't need to slow us down that much, but almost not slowing us down at all was a bit silly. It would have been nice to have the whole field behind it, mabye the SC could have come in earlier, but I appreciate that is not in the rules. It only took me half a lap to realise it was out, but it took me just under 2 laps to catch up to it, and I was 3rd in the queue!

TAYLOR-MANIA for me!

Kart icing?



That looks great fun! I wish there was somewhere to do that around here though, I'm going karting in 15 days but on booooring tarmac.

I think F1 should be more like football. Give them penalties when they're racing, but when they finish, it stays like that. Any subsequent penalties - things that have to be decided upon after the race - are applied to races after. They don't go back and change the result!

I assume that wasn't meant entirely seriously, lol
