with regard to the initial post.... why don't you just download the game?? no less ethical then GP4 mods - illegally modify that Geoff crammond said he doesn't want, I am not saying I approve of it, but if your going to rant with bad language, then you have options. Anyway F1 2013 is pretty good. the series has been good since 2012, and is the first f1 game I like after GP4, gp4 isby kubica2 - Other Games
@ IWE, your a great racing fan, pointing out only negatives of A driver coming back to the top of motorsport after nearly dieing and having about 20 operations. so heartfelt. Kubica last weekend won the WRC2 class of possibly the hardest rally in the world, the Acropolis, in only his 3rd ever gravel rally. as IWE pointed out, but in a trolling way, kubica is on a learning curve - everyoneby kubica2 - F1
Hi Guys, Kubicas second ERC event begins today. Rally Acores. It is his second ever gravel rally, after 2 weeks ago WRC portugal rally. He has had at most 1000km in his life, driving on gravel now in the past rally and testing. In his first ever try driving on wet unsealed roads in a rally car (all previous tests were in the dry), Kubica has qualified first, and 5 seconds ahead of Jan Koby kubica2 - F1
Here is a video of kubicas off from day one: he was making excellent progress on his learning curve on gravel, from about 1 minute behind leading WRC2 driver in first stage, to less then one second behind by stage 4! . @IWE edit 2 - 1.6 turbos vs s2000, not much difference in power though different torgue curves, sometimes the RRC will be faster, other times S2000, it is stupid but, justby kubica2 - F1
Kubica was fastest today of the WRC2 class drivers in the shakedown for this weekends WRC Rally Portugal. In a video i posted above, Kubica admits he only has about 350km of gravel experience. this Rally Portugal is 400km+ of stages on gravel. talk about being thrown in the deep end! Kubica has never contested a rally this long, and never one on gravel, and never any WRC level rally, and he hby kubica2 - F1
Morbid, you are right! i used to be one of those, i stopped that mainly, now i usually think posiitive views are better then highlighting the negatives. We shall see how Kubica gets along in his first WRC start this week. i am hopeing a top 3 in his WRC2 class, but who knows - so far each time out he drives faster then established drivers in similar class cars (Rally du Var drivers werent allby kubica2 - F1
well, it was to be expected, even from the demo version... im sure a few kids have bought it but and made money for codemasters.by kubica2 - Other Games
by the way IWE, you forgot to mention that in that time how he also won 2 rallies, and this good result this week, plus the rally in the clio which he entered as number 0 and was unnoficially quickest. also the fact kubica tested with ford late last year and was faster then fords factory drivers in the test - that is no Kimi Raikonnen! also you didnt mention the reasons of the crashes, 1 was aby kubica2 - F1
IWE = hater. go get a life- kubica was fastest on the first 8 stages against drivers who have done rallies their whole life. kubica now in his first WRC event has finished 5th, and 1st in the WRC2 class in the portugese FAFE Rally sprint with 100,000 spectators on his first ever attempt at a gravel rally ( previous only tarmac rally experience). kubica was faster then many gravel experts on hisby kubica2 - F1

Hi everyone, just incase you havent read the news on sites like autosport, which seems to be the only english speaking motorsport website that is following kubica on his comeback trail (probably because they are the only ones with translators and journalists of different languages), ROBERT KUBICA has anounced his 2013 Calender of racing events! which at first was assumed to only consist of ERCby kubica2 - F1

In autosprint magazine, they said he was 0.1 seconds slower then paffett, but faster in the wet. Testing means not much but What is the most important thing is that Kubicas arm/hand are still improving, though very, very slowly .... but we we should remember he is still only 28. the other important think is Mercedes giving him a chance, "his name still means a lot". Kubica himself sby kubica2 - F1
next week he is testing a Mercedes DTM car, but is not likely to race in DTM, but a decision is not yet made, he is likely to contest in this years ERC, drivers only have to compete in 10 races out of the 13, and his first will be in march. here is a great video of some of his rally action from late last year, he was leading the Rally du Var, a very hard rally by 5 minutes before his co-by kubica2 - F1
lets be honest, not counting the performance of the car (top 3 at some points, top 4 at other, top 6 at others), schumacher's driving has not been the level of a 7 times world champion. it has been of a midfield driver who doesnt advance. he should at least have got several podiums, and has had many stupid incidents like in turkey and singapore. when you look at how he achieved his 7 champioby kubica2 - F1
in a polish interview about 2 weeks ago, he was asked how many opertations he has been through, he said "about as many as there are races in an f1 season". He also says no one would understand what he has gone through and how he had to adapt to changes, especially to not thinking about "time" and deadlines. he said a lot of rubbish was written in the press in the time after thby kubica2 - F1
i think Schumachers return can be considered a failure. in both the following ways 1. if you consider his previous performances, and expect him to drive at his old standard, then it is a definite failure. 2. not considering his past, it was still very poor, other drivers would not have been given a 3rd year in a top 4 team like mercedes. his performances were often of lower midfield level,by kubica2 - F1
i think the brakes are quite realistic. in grand prix 4 the brakes are way too easy, and you can pass too easily just by braking very late, even with locked up brakes. you can lock up every turn and not damage your tyres. I am now playing F1 2012 on pc. i love it, it took a while to work out steering wheel settings, and pedals. i like the drs and kers. its the first time i have played anby kubica2 - Other Games
Mercedes have the problem that they can not develop the car over the course of the year as quick as others, and are then too far back starting the next season. This was even the case with Brawn in 2009. Honda build him a great car, but they couldnt keep it great - and were overtaken by the years end. They are not very good on their tyres either, i dont know how hamilton will manage the tyre weby kubica2 - F1
Kubica won again this past weekend in a much longer rally then the first one he won: final classification after nine super stages (kubica won 6 stages): [1.bp.blogspot.com] He competed with about 5 other wrc class cars (newer than his), and also many s2000. onboard from the shakedown stage: Also after the race, kubica said the road to recovery is very long, but he now feelsby kubica2 - F1
well go start a thread about them, this one is about kubica.by kubica2 - F1
you dont understand, but many fans of f1 do - he is one of the fastest racing car drivers in the world, and even Ferrari understood the hype too. Mika Hakkinnen understands the hype, he spoke to polish media this weekend and said that he will easily find a team to race for when he is ready to return. @ECW, kubica has said as much too, it will be a year of rehab driving lower class carby kubica2 - F1
here is a great video, kubica driving like mad at this rally event, before driving into a creek! this was a different incident to the photo above. it happened a day ealier. this one happened during a training session, he hit a tire and then could not stop the car. later that night on the special stage kubica was 2 seconds faster then anyone else, but made a small mistake, that needed him tby kubica2 - F1
ofcourse people have to pick out the bad points without commenting on the good ones. Kubica was in 4th place in the rally until that point, doing very well. he and co-driver are unhurt. people are speculating the crash is because of the co-driver today Jakub Gerber, the same co-driver as the crash in 2011. on a couple polish forums they are all digging up the bad incidents of Gerber to makby kubica2 - F1

After 3 stages, Kubica is winning today!! in action today!! photos and videos here from yesterday look how limp his left hand still is, and the scars on the arm, and not being able to straighten the elbow. My father in poland 30 years had a work place accident, with very similar results to his hand. he says the way kubica is holding his mobile phone, is similar to his hand durinby kubica2 - F1
