Re: Official 2014 Suzukamikaze Grand Prix Thread ***SPOILERS with essesesesseses and Typhoon teabags*** - 10 years ago
The consensus seems to be that Honda (the race promoter) did not want the start time brought forward because of the number of fans who would rely on public transport to get there. Rail tickets are likely to have been for a specific service, so a last-minute rescheduling would have created a logistical nightmare.by senninho - F1

Re: Official 2014 Italian Grand Prix Thread ***SPOILERS with minimal downforce*** - 10 years ago
I can't see gears being a problem - they have eight of them, and the limited ratios should encompass all circuits. I read in the pre-season that they just use either end of the gears (1-7, 2-8) depending on the track characteristics.by senninho - F1

Re: Pre-season Testing - Jerez - 10 years ago
I'd like to take this opportunity to be the first to blindly make predictions based on 2 hours of testing. Ferrari have obvious reliability issues, and Mercedes are going to wrap up both titles. I'd also like to take this opportunity to be the first to repeatedly remind everyone not to make blind assumptions based on testingby senninho - F1
Re: The 2014 Formula One Season - 10 years ago
What I'm liking about these interpretations is how we all seem to disagree about which one looks the best - I can't remember the last season that contained cars with such different shapes. I'm sure you'd have to go back to the 90s. And they appear to sound awesome. Which, I modestly add, I've been saying to anyone who asks all alongby senninho - F1

Re: Sad news - 11 years ago
I'd like to add a further pat on the back for Gav; that was a great post. Schumacher the driver had flaws that will always be debated, much like Senna, but that's completely normal. Any thread about any great driver will always stir up opposing opinions.

Re: Tuned into Top Gear last night, caught Seb Vettel. - 11 years ago
This is why I don't get the hate for the guy. The finger and the post-race radio messages are pretty cheesy, but out of that context he does come across as a genuinely nice guy, with a sharp sense of humour. His standing among journalists is probably the best indicator of that.by senninho - F1

Re: F1 Challenge help - 11 years ago
I don't know if it helps, but I re-installed this out of curiosity the other day and found that file permissions were an issue - I had to remove the read-only flag from the whole directory before it would work properly. The same might apply to mods that you add, so maybe try resetting the permissions once you install something?by senninho - Other Games
Re: Anyone familiar with the workings of DNS? - 11 years ago
It's likely that the root domain and sub-domain are pointing in different ways - your root record is likely to be of type 'A', which can only point to a specific IP address, whereas your sub-domain will likely be a CNAME record, which can point at your dynamic DNS address. If you want, you could PM me your domain name and I can double-check this for you.by senninho - Off-Topic
