Quote from Mustafur :

lol Torro Rosso did shit loads of laps, together they did 79 laps in just the 1 practise session.

Well that was to be expected wasn't it

Jaime Alguersuari did not that bad considering, just 2.5 tenths of Buemi in the first practice session. Although I think Bourdais would have gone a bit better :/

I'm looking forward to FP2, I think Johnny Herbert is meant to be jumping into the commentary booth, so it shall be interesting to see what he says.

SRS:Race Server is powered by Storm, so you can check that if you like

Yeah that or any of the [SG] ones.

They do have a proper test server at; www.storm-servers.net

Quote from PLAYAPIMP :

if i upgrade my acer aspire 5520 from 2 gb to 4 gb ram would that do alot of diffrence?

Probably would improve the performance a bit, but it wouldn't stop the overheating I don't think anyway.

You'd get more for your money if you were to do a custom build, just a little pointer

Congratulations! Great signings

Any more to come today so we if we have to say congratulations again

I personally think Villeneuve is past it, he wasn't really competitive towards the end of his career, BMW even gave him the boot for Kubica...

It's relatively easy to build a computer. As Amp88 said just remember not to force anything!

If you need any help, you could reply here or give me a pm and I'll try my very best to help you

Good luck!

Quote from Dajmin :

Only in Scotland are we so manly that we can wear skirts and freeze our balls off in the middle of winter and nobody bats an eyelid

I've fixed it for you

It's sounding really promising, I'd like to see who's going to be playing next year although it's a bit early just now & I'd have to see if I could get a few people to come with me.

So are you all going to meet up and have a big LFS Scottish meet-up :P

Quote from DieKolkrabe :

Which will get nowhere, the French courts will be out to lunch :P

To which court would he actually take his claim to though, Would it be the FIA court?

Quote from The Very End :

Why beer, I'm sitting with my Jack Daniels now :hyper:

You don't leave it long do ya?

Quote from The Very End :

I just say that generally, at least for me, I have to really take a hold on myself to not go all-out rage on some people on this forum sometimes

If you do go on a keyboard rage, please record it so instead of the Angry German kid we can say; The angry very end

Quote from TexasLTU :

Alguersari is better when money is just flowing from his Repsol.

Doesn't mean his driving is better ... Just means his sponsorship money is better than the Frenchman's.

I think they'd have been better to keep Bourdais until the end of the season, at least then they would have know that they had an experienced driver instead of two rookies.

Quote from Mustafur :

Big mistake imo, its very dangerous for a driver just to go into f1 with no previous testing expereince other then 1 drive in a straight line.

I agree to an extent, but he's been driving regularly this year in the WSR, so that should help him out to an extent. He'll just be trying to familiarise himself to the car this weekend I presume. Anyone putting a bet on a top 15 finish :P

Quote from Mustafur :

should add some spark to a boring hungary track.

It would be more interesting if it rained, with no previous F1 experience other than straight-line testing. Now that would be fun to watch

Quote from only.one.RydeR :

Hope Red Bull pulls out a win.

It'll be interesting to see what Brawn can pull out of the bag, since these conditions are meant to be suited much better towards their cars . Although I think Red Bull probably have the advantage over Brawn now, I'm afraid

Will be an interesting race to watch nevertheless.

What a waste of life.

R.I.P Henry Surtees, May he rest in peace.

Wow that sounds frighting I'll have to have a look at it, I think I've got it recorded on Sky+.

Do you have any news if he's going to be okay?

Quote from DeKo :

it has to be ari vatanen, surely. I simply dont understand how todt can even be considered, considering his relationship with ferrari.

I know what you mean but Mosely says that Todt will have no affiliation with Ferrari in any way, shape or form.

Vatanen surely must be the best placed man for the job, hopefully he'll get it and give the FIA a tidy up. Unlike Todt who "is going to carry on from the last 16 years" or something like that ..

Quote from Mustafur :

No he sucks, for the first half of the season hes car was soo much faster then the rest of the field he should of atleast got plenty of 2nd positions.

He doesn't suck, if he sucked so much he would have been out of F1 a long time ago. He's not been in the sport for 17 years if he sucked as much as you make out he does.

This season he's had a vast amount of bad luck, with various clutch problems, pit stops and whatnot. Button has had more luck this season than anyone else really ...

Quote from TexasLTU :

Only when theres no Kimi left in Ferrari! :hide:

Better be careful what your saying Just don't walk past any people in red or Maranello for a while and I'm sure you'll be fine

I've picked Sutil, I think he's done a marvellous job this season. He's just had too much bad luck compared with the rest of the guys. Force India will score a point this season, I'm certain

Quote from Pablo Donoso :

Lately I haven't seen many players online, let alone in the ovals. Is there something like a party going on we don't know about?!? xD even the bump drafters are like nowhere to be found...

Since it's the summer I suppose quite a lot of people will just be doing the usual stuff people do at summer

Quote from Pablo Donoso :

It's all good though, gives me more track time to practice. Someone asked why do I drive so much on my own, and said I should get better @ drafting, not running solo. xD

No harm in running solo. Once you perfect your hot-lap line then you just need to modify it to accommodate drafting, which isn't that hard to do with a little bit of practice.

Quote from Pablo Donoso :

I said I run solo more because the fastest driver doesn't have to draft once in the lead mostly, and you only get faster by driving more, tweak the setting a little, drive some more, tweak something else, drive even more.... etc.....

You do need to draft once you're in the lead otherwise the people that are drafting behind you will catch you up in no time at all. Although I understand where you're coming from ...

Quote from Pablo Donoso :

Each lap you run = experience, whether it's in a pack or just 1 person, but usually, I'm like all by myself in (FM) OvaL JuNkieS 3. Only around 1500 laps before I make it from Oval Lover to Oval Pro... yeeeeeeee

Yep experience is defiantly a good thing to have whatever you're doing. You should pop onto (FM) OvaL JuNkieS 2 sometime, there is usually more people on there and you can always practice your drafting technique. Good luck

An announcment - http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/76988

Shame, as I liked Bourdais. Funny how people want more human characters in F1, and then criticise them for wearing their hearts on their sleeves... C'est la vie...

I liked him also, it's a shame that they have dropped him. I think if he had a half-decent car than he would have produced the goods, but I suppose with Red Bull focusing on the RB5 I doubt that would have happen soon

Quote from stonedome :

Its the first one you linked to

I played it for the first time today and its horrible. I tried doing the training and i couldn't even get out of the pit garage it was lagging so bad. I don't know what the white number in the top left corner is but mine read 1.7. Then i set the res to 800x600 and switched from true to high color than did some single player races where that number was reading around 14. It would still lag some but i was able to make about five laps

The number in the top right would be your FPS (Frames Per Second). 1.7 :o

Yeah I think you need to invest your money wisely, in either a new system or a Graphics card. Although I don't think that a card will improve your performance vastly. Although don't hold me to this

Quote from 510N3D :

Edit: When i ever manage to get to England and the first guy i see is wearing a skirt, have i seen it all then as well?

Sounds like you're talking about the Scots there Plaztik. You leave us alone you hear me I must say us Scots look rather fetching when the occasion wedding day pops up and we actually need to wear them

Edit: As others have already said I don't think you should take your laptop with you, but as you probably will I think you should pre-load Tetris and Space Invaders, Best games ever!

I'm sorry but I do believe S2 players are not allowed to upload skins for Demo users. Sorry mate.

Toro Rosso is expected to confirm within the next 48 hours that it has decided to part company with the Frenchman.

Well all I can say is that it's 48 hours later and no news has been announced that he's parted with Toro Rosso ...

Hopefully he'll be at Hungary with the new package that's been promised Would be a shame to see him disappear off the grid to be replaced by a rookie who's preparing for his 2010 season.
