I bet in the following races they'll strap a t-bar camera to Kimi in the hope that he'll show off some more reactions like that.

He had one this race, Premier Live shows it. I have a complete race coverage with onboard footage only, but it switches to Räikkönen just a tad too late; when the damage is already done..

Quote from Rudy van Buren :

Well there we go then...

I like this one better

:ices_rofl Can't help but laugh my ass off

"Duuude" hahahahah!

Quote from thisnameistaken :

I have a feeling it will be remembered as a fluke result on a novelty circuit in the wet, and once we get back to proper racing circuits the Ferraris will resume their dominance and forget it ever happened.

Quote from danowat :

I generally get 56mpg out of my car, it will be interesting to see how many extra mpg's hypermiling techniques will give.

I'm not sure if this is what you mean with the term hypermiling, but I managed to get 18% more mileage in my Peugeot 306 1.4 (petrol). Went from an average 850km on a (~64L) tank to a - to me -astonishing 1100,8 km. Was well surprised by what driving-by-head instead of by-heart can do! I made a list for a similar discussion on our team forum, thought I might as well post it here. With the crazy fuel prizes these days I think everyone will be interested in trying to get a better mileage our of a fuel tank...

Quote :

Here's some of the stuff I did to get a lower fuel consumption:

1 shift up uber early, a good estimate was gear = speed/10.
2 shift up uber fast too, this way you'll avoid losing both engine and vehicle speed
3 brake very late for stopping lights and etc.. just to keep the option of a green light, or other immediate crossing opportunity open (ie. not having to slowdown and most importantly speed up again)
4 always try to keep the car rolling when approaching stopping lights or other crossings.. resistance is highest when you try to get the car in motion after a standstill
5 when approaching a crossing or traffic light, etc. let the car roll out in gear. In this case the wheels even drive the engine, instead of the other way round, so assuming my MMS is programmed to not inject fuel when no power is asked (every new-ish vehicle is programmed this way) this is a much better fuel saving method then letting it roll in neutral gear. You can optimise this method by using every gear while rolling out, so 5-4-3-2-1. You know when to shift down when you feel the engine starts getting a grip on the wheels again (preferrably a tiny bit before this point of course).
6 when accelerating, try to apply as little throttle as possible, but don't exaggerate: too little throttle (e.g. when engine starts shaking) makes for a worse combustion and thus increases fuel consumption!
7 slipstream trucks and busses on the highway to the extent that (mostly female) passengers wanted to get out soon as possible
8 keep a high cornering speed to avoid having to speed up after every turn (this is where the fun has to come from when you are on an other than that incredibly dull save-the-environment-and-my-money-tour)
9 with regards to the above: try to drive the ideal (race) line through corners. this means higher corner speeds are possible and - if driven fluently - results in less stress on the vehicle's supsension and tyres (less resistance -> better mileage)
10 shut down the engine immediately when you arrive at your destination
11 don't start the engine until you're actually ready to drive
12 keep electricity consumption as low as possible (preferrably don't charge phones in your car, only switch lights on when absolutely necessary, etc.) this way your alternator can run on a lower intensity which results in lower fuel consumption. best would be to use no radio either, but that would really kill me. During this challenge I had it loud as always :P
13 keep windows closed as much as possible; less aero drag means less fuel consumption
14 last but not least: don't drive too fast. I never did faster than 120 km/h on this tank, not even on highways. Normally I at least have one trip where I drive 150+ for longer periods of time. This of course means higher revs, but much more important: much higher air resistance (this increments exponentially over higher speed). So keeping a slower pace on the highways (and preferrably in the slipstream of bigger vehicles) can save you massive amounts of fuel. I also did lower speeds on the normal roads: just about 78 km/h where 80 is allowed, etc. (all this sometimes to the annoyance of the cars behind me, but then I thought about how many times I have been stuck behind a slowpoke and it actually felt good :P)

Please note that some of the applied methods of course have negative effects on other parts of the vehicle or my money (ie. drive through the red light (€130) on an empty crossing, just to avoid having to speed up again, or take a 90 degree left turn with 80 km/h for the same reason... (suspension and tyre wear: €€€), etc.)

Just for the record I'd like to put a little disclaimer here: if you try some of these (potentiall dangerous) methods and something goes wrong, please don't blame me!

Quote from Ian.H :

So you can create 20k binaries, but require 200Mb+ (installed) of .NOT dependencies? doesn't seem that logical to me

You seem to have an immense urge to post your opinion whether or not it has anything to do with the discussed topic.
I think the .NET suggestion by BurnOut is a very logical one, looking at the OP's question (ie. regardless of what you think about "M$" or ".NOT").

Good luck with that

Actually I used rc10racer's replays from a couple of posts up, but indeed I suppose one was saved too early Sorry about that.

Great races guys! Just thought I'd post the results of the two races here:

F1RST Racing's May Event
» Kyoto Ring National - XR GT Turbo
» 15 laps

Race 1 results


Race 2 results

Best of luck Keith and Darko!

Erm.... WOW. Great job Victor!

Quote from Bawbag :

Good job you didn't tell us what he was giggling at Rene....

OMG :ices_rofl :chairfall

My dearest friend-no-more F1RST T. Arends giggling like a girl.

And how do they feel about their even numeric names?

Hahahaha! Whahaha, that's brilliant, still chuckling :ices_rofl

Should work

Quote from Victor :

Many thanks to everyone who took the time to take some shots. There are some nice ones there (and yes also some bad ones - don't use so high FOV's, people don't have fish eyes )

The magazine will show us the article when it's done. The lucky winners will then see their shots I spose.

Thanks again!

I assume you're keeping the magazine name secret on purpose?
