Quote from sinbad :

I mean, they're prolific goalscorers too. At their best they're scintillating. Definitely worth the patient build-up play, surely?

Indeed, Messi alone has scored more goal than all the Chelsea forwards combined this year ( 61 - 64 ) it really is incredible. But Chelsea know what they have to do in Spain to reach the final - score one goal and Barca will need 3. Such is the strength of Chelsea's defence once David Luiz returns from injury, under Di Matteo who seems to actually have a logical brain on him compared to AVB, I can't see them scoring 3... Having said that a goal against a home Barcelona is not easy! Should be a cracking game for sure!

On another note, great to see Sturidge, Terry, Lampard, Cahill and Cole in such great form ahead of Euro 2012 I just hope we have a decent manager, and whilst Harry was pipped for it, he hasn't done great since in all honesty. Dream outcome would be to see Jose 'the special one' Mourinho coaching but I think that is wishful thinking!

Go Go Joe!

Quote from BlueFlame :

It's a shame English clubs don't follow this ethos.

Actually Swansea do the same. But as Chelsea showed, for all Barcelonas class they have a flaw which means that they are very vulnerable on the counter attack which just so happens to be Cheleas strength.

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

Don't you need a superlicense to drive on GP week-ends anyway? Can't see Susie meeting the requirements.

You only need a superlicense to drive in F1. An International B license will enable you to drive in GP3/ GP2 / Porsche / other support races. International B is the same license spec. as WTCC. However, one cannot simply apply and pay for a superlicense like another license, you are invited to have one - so I guess if you are involved in Formula 1 enough you can get one.

To be honest, I see no issue with open tracks at Kyoto because they are actually close to realism and therefore we can suffer the FPS. But when you drive FE open and AS open and you get random bumps and artificial curbs that have been edited in, coupled with low FPS it just takes the fun out of driving and makes you wonder why you bother - then you time out like me

Save the FPS Foundation approves this.

Quote from N I K I :

At one point I gazed into the emptiness whilst the cars were coming towards us down that ridiculously long straight, noticed all the marbles left and right and apart from the obvious how difficult it makes life for overtaking I thought to myself Pirelli is really making fool of themselves. Just look at all that shit. What will their customers think when they see all that deteriorated tire. Certainly nothing of the sort, now that tire is amazing, I gotta have that.

Who drives an F1 car on the roads anyway?

Updated first post.

Quote from Mustafur :

Rosberg hasn't been given a proper Top car yet.

Neither had Perez, di Resta, kobayashi, Schumacher... Rosberg is not exclusive.

Yes

But by saying that killing solves nothing, those two dying solved issues.

wooo Congrats LLM!

Quote from BlueFlame :

Well to be Titanically pedantic, the sinking meant alot of changes in naval production method and design. Not to mention more emergency precaution and better escape planning.

I agree hindsight is wonderful, however all the lessons learnt from the disaster would have only been learnt 2 years later in WW1 to be honest.

F1 and politics have always been intertwined, an example of this is the cancellation of the South African GP (1984?) due to ongoing apartide. It's nothing new I'm afraid.

Quote from amp88 :

He's saying that it wasn't. Read his second sentence too.

I know. I was agreeing with him, a rare occurrence on LFS Forum I know.

Quote from danthebangerboy :

Id say that the first and second world wars were slightly more important and historic events to be honest.

Kennedy assassination, Stalin, the rise of communism, the fall of conmunism, the fall of the British Empire, the great depression, watergate, black enfrichesment in USA, a black president in USA, end of apartide in RSA, the cold war, various major natural disasters, button and Hamilton crashing into eachother at Canada... A boat sinking doesn't come in top 100 really

As we discussed slightly on the server, it really does depend on your approach to LFS. For example, if you see this simply as a 'game' then sure you would be outraged if somebody was in the middle of the track and did not spectate or pit - which is why you get people in those situations flamed for sitting there. However, if you approach LFS as a simulator (which is what it is) like me then you will sit in the track and wait for an opportunity to rejoin the race safely. In a real life situation one cannot spectate or tele-pit, and those circumstances teach me for similar situations in real life.

However there is a happy medium, on LFS if you have been involved in a huge accident and the car is considerably damaged I can understand why people would want you to get the hell out of there. But my reasoning is that maybe safety rating should decrease if overtaking happens during a corner or something along those lines, as under a yellow flag overtaking is deemed dangerous driving and you will be punished for it in real life. In the end, for me it is those around you who have the responsibility to avoid you, and if they hit you due to lack of awareness or trying to overtake then that is their fault, or if they hit you because there is nowhere else to go - then I'm afraid that is just a racing incident.

Thank you Scipy.

I think maybe there is an issue with your sign up method as we signed up but I guess you didn't see that. In my opinion, open another thread and let teams sign up via that, it would generate more interest.

Quote from ACCAkut :

hehe, funny how people crave for completely new tracks and won't want to race on a config that enters maybe one or two new corners

Because the corners used are usually unrealistic ( strange bumps and odd curbs ) and also the fact that it drains most peoples FPS.

Please take a pic of me crashing into the rescue car on lap 1 turn 1, I would like to frame it.

You will not fill the grids with an open config, just look at other leagues the most unpopular rounds have always been them. Please just use KY3 / r or AS4 / r and you will fill the slots.
