I don't think this will end here. Surely the FIA will appeal, I'm sure they will be able to. The implications are considerable not only for motorsport but for all sporting administrative bodies. The IOC or FIFA would'nt much like such interference and it clearly undermines their (the FIAs) authority. Whether that is a good thing is an entirely different debate, I imagine a lot of pby davidm - F1

Hello All I don't know who has or can get this channel but if you enjoy some of the older F1 reporting there is a documentary on the 1970 season on ESPN Classic tonight at 21.25 UK time. Thought it would be interesting having enjoyed the BBC coverage of the Watkins Glen 1980 GP. Hopefully with ESPN it will be repeated. Sorry if you don't get the channel.by davidm - F1
Hi Ploddek It is a very nice track and great piece of work. I do think there is a bit of a problem - the ai cars do go through the wall and some of them get stuck when pitting and stay that way till the end of the race.by davidm - Grand Prix 4
Yes - thanks alot for the carset Marco, a great piece of work.by davidm - Grand Prix 3
Thanks Marco - I will wait for your release which sounds like it will be worth it.by davidm - Grand Prix 3
Hi Marco - will you be releasing the shape - it looks excellent.by davidm - Grand Prix 3
Bernie has no arrangement with Monaco. Prince Albert has stated there will be no Grand Prix without Ferrari.by davidm - F1
I think as Triple M said "it can be done" and that is 100% correct. For a start without FOM its 50% cheaper, at a minimum. Italian TV will always follow Ferrari, other TV stations will pick up (UK ITV for example) etc etc. New teams will go with FOTA because they can achieve the same thing at half the cost and less etc etc. I heard a senior lawyer on Radio 5 Live this evening and the FIby davidm - F1
I may be wrong about this but is'nt a break away what happened with Moto GP.by davidm - F1
Dear Josekast Thank you first for your work. Most of your cars work brilliantly for me but like a number of others I suspect the size of the lods on a number is way too high for our lower spec machines. I am fine up to the Brawn size of lods but above this it is difficult. I could play the BMW if there were some smaller lower lods. Your new Toyota is probably too big period. However even thisby davidm - Grand Prix 4
I think the key here is the pace the Brawns will carry after the RBRs pit. Buttons 2 laps in Malaysia were very devastating. If the RBRs also carry the softs and begin to lose performance after 7 or 8 laps then the others have the option to splash and dash at the end. I think given the weight Trulli is still in this as well.by davidm - F1
Some quick thoughts on sponsors. Brawn could use bwin as well as more virgin and virgin atlantic, b win would also be good as title sponsor for renault with the traditional yellow, white and black. Other possibilities are T Mobile, and hotels like Novotel, Four Season and Hilton. On another thought - Santander may be a possibility as a title sponsor for Ferrari next year. I hope this may alsoby davidm - Grand Prix 3
Thanks - these are great - would you be able to do a fictional Renault with different sponsors after Ing for next year and a fictional Brawn with more Virgin and other sponsors? Also the sidepod styling for the Verizon car is great - looks similar in style to this years Renault sidepods.by davidm - Grand Prix 3
These are all great ideas. Would you also though consider some of the possibilities in the future for cars - eg Virgin, Prodrive, a Bwin sponsored Brawn and so on? That I think would be great.by davidm - Grand Prix 3
Sorry - I can't see anything about administrator in the properties when I right-click - just compatibility. When I make gpx_patch win 98 compatible it won't work properly and starts the game up with the original tracks, intro etc. Thanks for your advice anyway.by davidm - Grand Prix 3
I've been having some similar problems recently. Could you please advise about how to run both as Administrator. Thanks.by davidm - Grand Prix 3
Thanks Drafi - I thought you meant for GP3.by davidm - Grand Prix 3
Hey Drafi - I've never heard of his work before - do you have a link or other details. Thanks.by davidm - Grand Prix 3
Who does anyone think will replace Alonso next year. I don't think Rosberg - he is too strong with Williams but maybe. Button I think definitely not with problems in the past and his retainer. Maybe McLaren will go for another junior driver to save money. I don't think Pd La R will be too popular either. Maybe even Nelson Piquet jnr (unlikely with Flavio connection). I also don't tby davidm - F1
Surely there is another issue here as well. As a result of the TV coverage and interviews at Spa. In effect Max has directly accused Ron of lying. If Ron were to consider it valid he could sue for libel. Everything that came across was his (Max) personal supposition. One would imagine that what he wanted out of the meeting was the 2 year ban for McLaren. Listen to his defence of the FIA positionby davidm - F1
Its all very fishy. Did anyone else know that Max is the son of a well known associate of Adolf Hitler. Says it all about power and obsession.by davidm - F1
Sorry - which track slot should it go to?by davidm - Grand Prix 4
Thank you for all your suggestions. I tried the 0 lods only and force best carshapes in Team Editor. It reduced the size of the cars.wad but made no difference with the PO. I guess because the program is still reading lod 0 5 times instead of 1-4 lods? Only thing I can think of. Presumably £D Max is not the kind of program an amateur is going to get involved with?by davidm - Grand Prix 4
Does anyone know if there is an easy way to reduce the size of the lower lods. EG the new FW29 Williams comes with lods 0 993 k - is it possible easily to reduce the 1, 2, 3 etc lower lods with any editor. Only 1 car I have has been provided so far with lower sized lower lods. My processor is a bit limited and have lower level graphics card. To run 25 fps with the current cars etc gives me a PO oby davidm - Grand Prix 4
Yes true but they still need the feedback - telemetry does'nt do it all.by davidm - F1
I'm sure this is correct. Its been confirmed certainly by Eddie Irvine that MS was'nt much of a tester. His skill was an uncanny understanding of ultimate feel and grip and an ability to push the team as a whole. He regularly used his teamates setups. Ronnie Peterson did the same.by davidm - F1
