i dont really think the Bridgestones are illegal. Michelin are being very clever and are playing a PR game. Those of us who dont look to closely will BELEIVE that the bridgestones are illegal (even though they are not) and Michelin can use this to their advantage (either to be let off with their obviously illegal tyres or to comnplain whenever a bridgestone team wins). It is a very clever strby Thomson - F1
The man rocks! Go Hungarian Driver man, go! Give him a break. its a poor car, hes learning midway thru the season with Firman's mechanics (not even his own crew)...... it takes time and more than just getting in a car to be quick. You need the right environment and people around you who you know and trust. plus Firman is 1 of the worst allround drivers i have ever witnessed in F1. Form hiby Thomson - F1

madness! Bernie Ecclestone actually changed the times of free prac and qualifying in Saturday so that viewers in Europe could see it live at a better time (due to "increased interest in this years championship". Why the hell is the UK not taking advantage of this!? We are a nation of F1 lovers and it seems crazy to not be watching it live alongside nations such as Germany, Italy and Franby Thomson - F1
How long has it been scince it has been this close! wow! These new michelin tyres might actually be a benefit to the teams at monza. After all a narrower tyre benefits straight line speed (less rubber in contact with ground thus faster). here are my predictions for the weekend....

bit harsh dont you think! think of all the money that would be lost by less fans at the races. Every1 (or at least many) love to witness ms behind the wheel as he is unique and has made f1 so exciting for past decade! Think about every season since 94....hes been there (except 97 due to silverstone crash) in a poorer car, at the end of the season making it exciting. Williams should have dominateby Thomson - F1
just shows that this year it doesnt relally matter what happens as far as rules are concerned as long as things are "exciting" by having a close championship. The FIA just want a year where there are 3 or four teams doing "well" and work the rules around that. Canada was the perfect result for the FIA, Schumi just ahead of kimi with two williams on the podium so theyd never pby Thomson - F1

This may be a dumb question but how do i alter the ballance when in the car as promised on the download description? anything else new possible in this new version of gpx patch? thanksby Thomson - Grand Prix 4
Im glad im not alone in my views. There is just a feeling of being robbed from true racing when we have come to EXPECT races to be won by "overtaking" in the pits! All drivers and teams seem to actually accept that this is a good way to win or lose a race! what a joke. This may sound very pro Schumi, well it is anyway, but at least he WINS races by overtaking.

anyone know a cheap way to get down from scotland?

I really enjoyed the canadian grand prix this year. However i was also dissapointed to yet again, watch a race with about only 1 or 2 actualy overtaking manouvers. JPMontoya was over a second a lap quicker than ralf and michael....then he got stuck behing them for about 10 laps, no chance in overtaking unless a mistake was made. Alsonso then, a second a lap quicker....same result...no hope in helby Thomson - F1
For the formation lap they could just limit the top speed of a car, the car slows down when you get too close to another then when near the grid it automatically lines up (like in the pits it kinda turns so the pit crew can wheel it back).

yeah qwerty its the way i tend to drive my cars, fairly light at the rear. I dont brake too hard into corners and sweep through, carrying speed, ,so it suits my strange driving style. suppose thats the main problem with setups, every1 likes them to be a little differentby Thomson - Grand Prix 4

I thought "hell, if im gonna miss the qualifying live, every 1 can miss it!moohahahahaha" . ok , it sucks, it really does.

lol, maybe those tears could be implemented into gp4? I think schue and Rb will be 1-2 in brazil. The ferrari team have had bad luck so far. RB had misfire in sepang and mistake in oz. MS has pitted 7 times in two races whereas most others have pitted either 3 or 4! plus a greatly damaged car in each race...every1 saw the gap during fri practice in sepang (equal fuel etc....) they were very fasy.by Thomson - F1
qualifying is great. After driving round in gp4 for a few hours prior to the qual you can really see whos fast where and why. Its a fantastic rule change as far as the tv audiences are concerned as you wont miss a thing due to dodgy sleeping tv directors! the refuelling should go and thus make the cars show their true potential just a thought, but how about making the friday qualifying count alsby Thomson - F1
hey "the fan" heres two setups (i tend to only run 6 gear here, unlike qwerty, as the track isnt a demanding gear changing one. It basically goes from fast to slow, to fast again so i only use 6 powerful gears. be weary of breaking too hard though as front grip is needed so the nose is fairly high on downforce.)

also, it is more common in cart than f1. During an oval race controlling the fuel mix is vital whereas in f1 is doesnt make too much of a difference, mainly letting the team have a wider window open for pit strategies.by Thomson - Grand Prix 4
ok, a more "rich" fuel mixture (meaning a higher fuel to air ratio) will give the car greater power but will use up more fuel. A "leaner" mix will mean that the fuel can last longer but will not deliver as much power as a "normal" or "rich" mix. Thus if you run the car lean, you can put less fuel in the car, gambling that you will gain more time due to a liby Thomson - Grand Prix 4
