Tragic loss.
A very unfortunate reminder that death will always be something that drivers and fans have to face, no matter if you live in the 60's or in 2009.
RIP Henry Surtees. My Condolences to the family.
Regarding the wheel coming off, shouldn't it be atatched with "wires" to the car in order for such accidents not to happen? I tought that all the series h

Other Motorsports It's a great idea IMO.
GP3 needs a database sort of thing, because it's a game with a few years now, and stuff are getting harder and harder to find, like tracks. So, this would be good in order to people have a place where to find stuff for the game without people having to ask and no one replies, or for the cases that this person has this track (for example) in his HD and then due

Grand Prix 3 You only complain about it, because you have no idea how worst are some Portuguese commentators from a Portuguese sports network. Now, they're the ones who don't know sh** about what they're talking about.
The guy who commentates the Indycar Series, he sucks so bad that he once started to invent new facts about how the series were formed.

Grand Prix 3 Nice job there on ur 3 wins abdelkader
Round 8 @ Oschersleben (125 laps)
The second half of the season started with a 300km race, and after that horrible performance on race 2 at Miami I managed to do a much better race this time. Not a brilliant race but this time I was able to keep my dignity at the end, however with lots of complaints from some drivers, as you'll see.

Congrats to u too on your first win mate.

Nice job there at Istanbul. I think that 2nd place finish is a good momentum builder. So, I hope that your journey through the middle east continues to bring you points and maybe your first win of the season.

The series went back to this Polish circuit for the first 300km race of the season.
By the the results of the practise sessions I felt, for the first time in the season, I had some good chances of getting a good result here. However, those chances went away when I made a crucial mistake coming out of a turn and hit the tire barriers and was forced to retir

Grand Prix 3 The Belini grip patch is the best option, IMO.
I'm used to play with all cars set to perform the same, on my personal champ, and without the patch installed I used to beat the CC during timed sessions by around 1sec. After I installed it I was having trouble to keep the pace with the CC cars (driving on Ace mode). So, I guess it's pretty effective. And you need to select "Car P
