Intel seems to be starting some "racing challenge" with an online game where you can win a BMW M6, starting at 22nd of april..
and when we now implicate all those new "pictures" (wtf?? pic), the intel spot and the sentence of the guru "but who needs a minute in blackwood"...
i think it's clear that the mentioned online game will be LFS and will include the BMW Sauber F1 car with the target to hit the 1 minute limit of blackwood.
and i also think that this car will be a demo car, so that everybody can participate to this challenge.
What about the launch control plus other smaller "aids"? Having a standard ecu it would mean that no launch control as well, no? And wouldn't the F1 car be just the more powerful F08 without any of these aids? In some way you lose some of the finesse but get some brutality in return.
Imho, if we want top class racing in LFS we must be prepared that it might introduce some electronic "helps" as well to make it like the real thing.
But of course I'd like to see no TCS, launch controls etc.. in F1. With manual gearboxes etc... But would it be the highest class of motorsports anymore? After all one of the F1 themes is the high level of technology.
I had a dream too. Scawen said the patch would be released at a beach, so all LFS'rs went to this beach to get the patch and ended up burried up to their necks in sand. Then Scawen came along and spread jam on all our faces and released 100s of jars of jam-loving skin-eating ants.
Just as everyone was screaming, I felt this vibrating between my legs, and when I reached down to find out what it was, I found my wang had been replaced by a phone. So anyway, I answered the phone and it was my mum. OMG. And she told me I was late for my maths exam, and I hadn't done any revision and I couldn't find a pen.
of course.. but the first time since this speculations about the patch started, i really believe in something and really think that some speculation is true. and thats that one i mentioned
ok, we'll all see, but i hope i was wrong with the date :P
@Tristan - the T/C doesn't make for less overtaking per say. It's more the fact that F1 cars are physically big cars and are designed to deliberatley make the air behind them dirty.
The puzzle is starting to have a pretty good shape
My speculation as others mentioned earlier
* Demo of LFS will include the F1 or there will be a (small) specific LFS demo, with only BL and the F1...
* Intel-BMW-Sauber has an amazing product for their fans
* Devs have an amazing opportunity to make LFS becomes *huge* and extremely popular
Since all these things with BMW now has started comming up and deals with the BMW team and lfs mebe some of this might be right since i heard one of the Devs got a new BMW M3 recently.
of course, looks like its made in 3D studio or something like that. Aand here comes the question... if LFS will really contain BMW F1 car, why to make a video in external program, when you can use animation from a game??? You are getting crazy guys (plz dont take it like an offence)
