I've only seen 5 minutes of the game, but saw 3 goals. The hell?

So the first two games of the day had crap referees, let's make popcorn and wait for the third one.
Btw: I just saw the referee in the Serbia - Germany game didn't see Podolski deliberately kicking a serbian player after a pass and that Germany should've been awarded a second penalty kick.
Just plain bad refereeing, otherwise a good game.

So that's a non-buy from me then. At least until it gets the low-budget pricetag.
200 standard cars and just a couple of tracks really is too few content. I don't care about the 800 below-standard cars.

I enjoy using Opera because it can take up a very small amount of space and of course reacts very quickly to user input. I very much dislike waiting for the web-engine to finally show me what it downloaded two tenths of a second ago and Opera is one of the options that minimizes the wait.
I attached a screen of my Opera-layout. Notice that, beside the tabs, it only has 2 (two) buttons.

Just a friendly comment:
I don't think there is any one person in any larger company/project that does both the design and the assembly.
Either you're the one who has the theoretical idea and puts it to paper, studies it and evaluates it (e.g.: The scientist who came up with the idea of VVT)
or you are the one who takes the (now proven) theoretical concept and puts it into a design (e.g.: The engineer at Honda working on VTEC)
or you are the person that assembles it (the guys at floor level with the wrenches in their hands).
Any project that involves more than 10 people will have people especially educated for their specific task. As a combined scientist-engineer-mechanic you can't beat any of them at their respective job.
I'd suggest that you go for the engineering job and develop your mechanical skills as a pastime. That might even get you into F1.
I hope that helped.

Correct. They achieved even less then that. They read the DNA of a Mycoplasma, added a couple of water-marks to it, artificially sequenced the new (functionally identical) DNA and replaced the original DNA of a Mycoplasma with the new one.
So far that's not creating life, that's copying text from a book to a Word-document and then printing it again in book-form. Even slightly less then that, because you don't even create the new book to print to from scratch.
But of course this proof-of-concept shows us how close humanity is to both utopia and anti-utopia.

I scored a lucky shot with my cellphone at Hatzenbach.
By the way, awesome race. I was there from the start until 4 am and it only got more interesting the longer it went.

There's been speculation that Schumacher's chassis was damaged in the first race and they couldn't exchange it before the break preceding the Spain GP. Thus a gain in performance was expected to some degree. But there was still a lot of luck involved. His laptimes didn't reflect his position, did they?

Why not? Just add 2mm² restrictors to the other cars and we should have awesome racing! Just like we always had before thanks to the equalization rules!

A very true statement.
Tyre slip curves always represent a specific case, and even complex empirical data is only valid for a limited range of parameters (there are MF-based models with 81 coefficients).
Unless you're looking for a quick substitute for a tyre model (so you can e.g. check the plausibility a suspension model) avoid using special-case empirical data to make assumptions for a generic-case model.
Vain
Yes, I guess so.
For a speed of 125 km/h or 35 m/s at a nice angle of 20° the force should be
F_lateral = 0.5* 2m² * 1.3 kg/m³ * (35 m/s)^2 * 0.6 = 955 N
which is about the gravitational force caused by 100kg.
When a 1 ton car corners at 1g lateral acceleration it's tyres (all four together) generate a lateral force of about 10 000N. Thus the current error is about 10% for the given parameters.

Your assumtpion is correct and it's not modelled in LFS. The lateral force due to crosswinds can be calculated by the formula F_lateral = 0.5 * density of air * frontal area * speed ² * coefficient from the attached diagram

Just a figure I got from a paper lying around in the pile of papers I call my library: If you plot the average consumption of cars over their total mass you get a linear slope of about 0.7 litres/100 km per 100 kg of additonal car mass.
For the US-folks that abould be about 0.18 additional gallons per 62 miles caused by 220 pounds of weight.
Also, tyres with a higher maximum speed rating have a lower rolling resistance. However this only effects the range above 50% of their maximum speed, where aerodynamics cause most of the resistance anyways.

By that standard not even F1 cars are a proper tool to judge F1 success potential. Just look at Button's history prior to Brawn.
