Great thread.. guess I'm late to the party. When your wife is a Pacific Islander, you HAVE to know the ukulele.

Here's a cover I like of "Eye Know" by De La Soul:

Would be nice to see a few people show up tomorrow (Sat) at 4PM GMT for the TBO race at AS3. FXO has 3% intake restriction. No registration, just show up and drive! Looking for a small but decent crowd so we can have an interesting live stream and commentary which will be broadcasted to the public.

LIVE STREAM HERE (you will see the stream during the race)

RACE DETAILS HERE

See you guys tomorrow!

hehe.. nobody posted but we did end up having a good crowd watch the event on several streams. We will do our next event live and I will announce it ahead of time unlike this post.

Hey guys,

I'm testing live video stream for DSR. We're about to start a race in 20 mins on the DSR UK server.. so if you're free just hop on and race.

If you want to watch it live, check it out at:

I will be doing the commentary. Feedback would be useful.

Thanks!

Yeah, just hop on by! We look forward to seeing you on the server this Sat.

haha.. Gil posted this thread on the DSR forums. Nothing like some good humor with (some) racing on the side.

Yes it is open to everyone

Bunch went down for a tour of their workshop & headquarters in Indianapolis. Really good team.. and nice looking skin!

Thank you Victor. You are "da man!"

Thanks for the feedback. I have changed the size of the banner and toned down the effects. Hope this works!

Again, here is the code to review the updated banner:

Quote from joshdifabio :

It's huge ^^.

Are you stating that because of a deviance from a pre-defined banner specification?

Hello Victor,

Don't mean to bother you, but we hope you approve this banner for the "Road to Formula 1" series. Anybody can add it to their signature with their S2 license name as the parameter.

The raw code for my S2 license (Lebaron) is:

If you need any other changes or have further questions, I will be more than glad to help.

Thank you.

shhh.. dont tell everybody we were running oval!!

nooooo whyyyy!!

His chat skillz are L33T!!

Yesterday [DSR] added a new and talented driver into their team. [DSR] Maber (S2: tmehlinger) was highly competitive during the "Road to Formula 1 Series" and displayed a professional attitude at all times. He raced in 9 out of 10 events and finished 5th overall making him the fastest non-DSR in the entire series, just above [SR] Storm_Cloud. He applied to [DSR] about a month ago and after further assessment, was unanimously voted in.

During his "inititation ceremony" he had to prove himself worthy by beating DSR's in a UF1 (while DSR's drove the XRT and were allowed to crash.. hehe). That was one tough UF1 to knock off the map! During the day, he is a full time Linux/Unix administrator. He will also be involved in developing scripts to streamline and enhance DSR's future events.

Welcome to the team Travis!!!

lol.. 68 ambitious.. I got some feedback about that from some other people too.

It was meant to be that way.. 68 ambitious but I guess it sounds vague. Will try something different next time.

Yeah thanks for the input. There is always an tradeoff between certain things. Personally, I went for the entertainment value in some of those scenes. For the next video (FOX cars) I will take a different approach.

Sorry for the late response:

@AMB: Song is Infiltrate 202 by Altern8 (80s/90s British underground rave) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIzSZH6oqeM

@Nightshift: Yes you are right. Except that my problem convincing people lies in the part where you race an office desk and pretend it's a formula car to begin with.

Thanks for the support everyone. You guys rock.

This is usually my case, except I have a cat instead.
