Him vs Madde on lap one was so scary! Really proud of Niki's drive today was top class. Shame further down the field the driving wasn't quite as sublime as at the front but that's always the case. Madde got caught up with some drivers who later took out another vires car! Super unlucky but that's racing.
For your information, me and FM Failure had 'much beef', but he at least gained his statistics fairly and actually raced online with other people on both oval and road races. Christ, he even did a few league races. If the OP is indeed P V L, referring to himself as "the best LFS racer" is hilarious. I could name a number of drivers worthy of that title and I'm sorry but he is nowhere near. It just proves how vain some people are on this forum. But hey, if that's how you get your kicks!
In the FA Cup, delicious cup draws, the current top 4 in the Premier League... Chelsea will have to do something sensational to win at City. No English team has won at City this season, only Bayern have won there. Liverpool cannot play at the Emirates, but should be a great two matches!
Mata to Manchester United in a rumoured £37m deal which breaks Manchester United's club record for a player which was previously held by Berbatov who signed in 2008 at £30.5m. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25849959
What's the point in a reserve driver? It's basically someone who can't quite afford a full drive so will drive 25% of Fp1's and then when it comes to a circumstance when the team needs a stand in replacement they will go hire someone else (like we saw with Lotus). It's a complete farce and while I know Valsecchi wasn't paying for his drive, he did enough to warrant the stand in role but instead it was given to Kovalainen who made a fool of himself.
Good to see Kobayashi back, hopefully the Caterham won't be a complete dog and can actually contest for points, but this is wishful thinking to the highest degree. I now see Marussia and Caterham in particular as the place drivers go to see their career die.
At least Frijns is back in the fold, but has missed out on the Gp2 drive with the Caterham squad to Rossi and Haryanto, which is a ridiculous decision given Frijns wins everything he's put in.
I wonder if Kobayashi will let the fans vote for his number since they're the ones paying for his seat?
Good decision Fram. I can totally relate to how difficult it has been to get drivers motivated to train and drive in LFS for the past year, so I completely understand your decision.
See you in Assetto Corsa once the net code is in place
But has since been calmed as idle speculation, sorry that I can't actually find which German media has been reporting on this. It isn't BILD as far as I know anyway.
Yes I agree, I mean just look at the story of the journalist who dressed up as a priest to get into the hospital, awful. I think everyone is at the stage now where when someone posts a link to a source such as The Daily Mail, its taken with an amount of scepticism. Of course it is all speculation, but a leading brain specialist has more clout with their words than a gossip journalist.
Was watching the video Maik has just posted only two days ago, has a whole new meaning to it now.. I remember a Blackwood Reversed race in GT2WS a few years back and it was such a good race. That first stint racing against Tomek, Ilbens, Matti, and loads others and although I rolled out of the race I remember the scraps I had with Tomek and thinking that was such a great race! For all the ups and downs people had with Tomek I think we'll all remember him for what he was and that's sensationally fast.
He was one of those that was just pure, and over one lap was something else, I think we can all agree we all had a little bit of envy towards him he was that good. He's always been wheel to wheel with me for as long as I remember, in whatever car he was always the man to beat. Going to miss him a lot since he was always the benchmark for me whenever I sat down to do some laps. He was the person who convinced me to try leagues and i'll never forget how close we were a few years ago.
Thoughts are with everyone at 3id and Nitor Velox as well as every member of the community and family who must be missing him a lot. The LFS community is so close nowadays it makes these kind of things even worse.
