There's a vote on the bbc f1 website. There is a selection of five "classic" races from the country holding the next grand prix. The one with the most votes get the extented highlights and the others get the five minute highlights. So at the moment the vote is for malaysia, although two years aren't available because of "technical problems" I guess someone at ITV vidby mp4-dave - F1
I had the same graphics driver crash problem that others have reported. Updated to the latest version of the nvidia drivers (180.48) and it seems to be fixed. Excellent track, thank you to all involved.by mp4-dave - Grand Prix 4

I reckon Allen would be better if he was in England (while the race was in Belgium). He seems to get distracted by what is going on on the track in front on the commentary box rather than on the screen at the time. This causes him to miss things which are obvious to the people at home. E.g In Canada I remember a Toyota blowing up near the start finish line. This was shown on the telly, but Allenby mp4-dave - F1
Does anyone else think it's ironic that the adverts are for High Def technologies when the F1 is just about in widescreen, with no hint of it ever being in high-def? Sony = "Buy a massive new high tech TV, if anything it'll make this program look worse once standard def is stretched across a massive screen" - clever advertising there.by mp4-dave - Off-Topic
On the BBC radio coverage someone e-mailed in and asked about HD. The commentator said the reason it isn't in HD already is because the cameras aren't small enough yet to be used on-board the cars and so it would keep switching from Hi-Def to Standard Def.by mp4-dave - F1
Seems fair enough to me, ITV get a sport which is already split in half and can easily have adverts stuck in to it at a pre-arranged known time. The BBC get a sport which requires constant coverage over an hour and a half or so with no certainty about when the most important action will occur. Suits both channels as far as I can see. It almost seems like logic has been used in these deciby mp4-dave - F1
Was this tool ever released? I have just bought a G15 and this would be really good, at the moment the clock screen just drags me back towards the huge amount of uni work I have to do.by mp4-dave - Grand Prix 4
56. Racing high performance sports cars around the streets of major cities encouraged to give the tourists something to take pictures of. 57. Crashing cars in to solid objects while street racing will result in no injury to the driver what-so-ever and you can continue in the race straight away!by mp4-dave - Off-Topic
Sounds like my student house last year where the shower head was held on to the bar with string. And the TV aerial was held to the roof with string. The moral of the story: buy sting, fix stuff. This year back in halls the toilet seat is already broken as is the shower head. I should have brought more string with me.by mp4-dave - Off-Topic
How long can the safety car go? If it has to stop, while it's in the pits is overtaking allowed? That could be a interesting lap or two.by mp4-dave - F1
ROFLMAO, Blundell what a leg end. That bit was by far the highlight of itvs "coverage" of qualifying.by mp4-dave - Off-Topic
GP4 works on Vista RC1, GPxPatch causes one of those "a program is trying to use your computer, do you want to continue?" messages. In the end I got fed up and disabled them. Car Set Manager doesn't work, it comes up with a message saying that direct X is not installed. I guess this is because Vista includes DX10. Hope that helps.by mp4-dave - Off-Topic
Could you send me the new address of the underdog please? I was looking for it just the other day and found that the address no longer worked. Cheers. My e-mail is in my profile, or if it isn't it soon will be.by mp4-dave - Other Games
It's clear why the team ran the un-modifyed chassis, with those planes around they didn't want to risk Sato destroying the only complete set of body work they have! Either that or they didn't manage to get on the new series of pimp my ride.by mp4-dave - F1
At uni I live with 5 other students, therefore there's nearly always someone in. So we always end up signing for stuff for our next door neighbour, so far we've had a dell laptop, a 32' LCD TV and a rug. They don't even come round and get it, we had the laptop in our hall for 3 or 4 days and the TV for over a week. If I ordered a TV worth over £1000 (I couldn't resisby mp4-dave - Off-Topic
Was this the first season that points were handed out at the end of the race? In previous years did the positions in the middle of the race count for something? If this was the case then I must have missed something. Whilst the Mclaren was quicker over one lap and possibly 20, the cunning foxies at Renault read the rules (foxies reading?) and found out that points were given out at the end oby mp4-dave - F1
That set-up should run the game at a decent level, what resolution are you trying to use? You could try the latest drivers which you can download from Nvidia. Have you turned off 3D sound? That makes a big difference in performance on some machines. Unfortunatly I have an ATI card so I don't know if I can be much more help. I would just say that with that PC you won't be aby mp4-dave - Grand Prix 4
An Ultra version is on it's way but Nvidia won't drop their prices when it comes out. Full story can be found here Depends if you think you'll still have the card by the time games NEED that much memory really.by mp4-dave - Off-Topic
What exactly is the problem? You mention a new graphics card and a high PO but then talk about a car? Did you install the jordan? Did you install the right drivers for you new graphics card? If you explain the problem a little better first people will be more likely to help.by mp4-dave - Grand Prix 4
Have you removed it already? I was interested to see this as the ITV one was poor. I can't get it to work here on Firefox. Any ideas could someone else upload?by mp4-dave - F1
That crying statement was a bit harsh if directed at me. I think renault deserved to win the titles, they managed to use a calender to look up when the season started, and then maanged to get their car ready by then (unlike ferrari who seemed to be under the impression that the season began when they wanted it to). Then Renault judged what parts were reliable enought to go on the car throughby mp4-dave - F1
I know kimi would have had to pit again but, he would have been in front of alonso behind the SC, then when it went in he would have had a lighter car which he could have used to pull out a gap to alonso. The cars that didn't pit were flying. Kimi could have built a lead and then pitted, he may well have come out behind alonso but he wouldn't have had to carry a heavy fuel load for so lby mp4-dave - F1
Do you reckon kimi could have won the race if he had stayed out during the second safety car period? He would have had track position on Alonso and a relatively light car in comparison and he would have avoided the fisi queue. His car seemed really fast at the end (fasted lap) when it was light. So, if he had stayed out do you reckon he could have built enough of a gap while alonso was heavy andby mp4-dave - F1
I thought that was ACE! The shoe maker cruising around in a world of his own, wanders across the road and WHAM! There's a minardi.by mp4-dave - F1
It was quite funny, and showed kimi in a different light to normal. Surprisingly it was better than most of the other "F1" related features.by mp4-dave - F1
Jim, that well known F1 expert, has just stated that this track really suits Button. He's said that about EVERY track this year! Let's not forget, Button is a smooth driver.by mp4-dave - F1
And now the high quality ITV preview show has started - oh rejoice! What a surprise, Jim says live is best, having not shown qualifying live!by mp4-dave - F1
It depends on what you want. A few good exciting minutes on a saturday and a dull as dishwater race or a rubbish "crazy" qualifying session and a great race. Personally I like to see a great race every week where the fastest man in the fastest car usually wins but not always. How you achieve this I'm not sure, maybe get drivers to choose their stratergy before they qualify altby mp4-dave - F1
WOAH, that's an incredible car. Well done.by mp4-dave - Grand Prix 4
