I think Ralf Schumacher still deserves an honourable mention for the Open Mic award. I think it happened at the Nürburgring in '97 or '98. I may have even got the names wrong Louise Goodman: Ralf, not a good session, can you tell us what happened? RSC: Well, we f*cked up... Louise: ...by senninho - F1

Lux has now stated that he is filing a 'criminal complaint' against Sutil, for GBH. He has also not ruled out "commencing an action against any other persons involved in this matter", which is ominous. Sutil has issued the following statement: "During a private event, there was a very unfortunate action by me in which I hurt another person completely unintentionallyby senninho - F1

I think he is a victim of comeback syndrome - can anyone name a driver that has returned, in the last 25 years, from a sabbatical of more than a year, and been as competitive?by senninho - F1
Rekorderlig do extremely good cider - you've earned your commission Seriously though, I started to do a similar thing with wheat beers, particularly German ones. I gave up in the end, but will always recommend: A surprising thumbs-up is also due for Holsten - specifically anything brewed in Hamburg. It's almost 100% better than what we end up with in the UK.by senninho - Off-Topic
...yeah, I went there. Mainly so that my wife and 2-year old could look at the big lorries Anyway, one stand had a mock Force India running rFactor, a 2010 mod and Spa. I couldn't resist I may have won a magnum of champagne, assuming no-one beat my best lap the following day.

Oh, I didn't know about the car design - I guess that could really turn any moderate accident into something far worse. Maybe this will serve as the wakeup call that NASCAR received a few years ago?by senninho - Other Motorsports
A real shame I think you're right with the Tamburello comparison - it's really not a problem corner until something goes wrong, and then all you have is a concrete wall. It's the sort of corner where it isn't possible to have a small accident. I guess it also has the same problem as Imola when it comes to track surroundings - they can't really build a run-off for tby senninho - Other Motorsports
I suppose the GP2 AI was more artificial, but I could live with that for the races that it created - I used a 1985 carset once, and it produced two races in a row that were so good I ended up watching the replays all the way through. I had a great battle in both, but - and this is what I think rFactor is missing - so did AI drivers around the other side of the circuit. Don't even get me sby senninho - Other Games
Yeah, IIRC even F1 used this sort of system until the mid-90s. The AI in rFactor definitely can't handle it, even though AI backmarkers will casually drift out of the way occasionally. It does amaze me how modern games often produce such poor AI - I know GP2 wasn't necessarily realistic, but it did give more of an illusion of actually racing the rest of the field.by senninho - Other Games

Gav, I think it it a bit of both - throttle control and the wavering noise that I was trying to describe. This video is a great example of his throttle control - from A Star Named Ayrton Senna, I think: Somewhat pathetically, I use a similar technique on my PS2 pad for rFactor as the analog stick doesn't really allow you to be that preciseby senninho - F1
I'm not sure it is traction control - it doesn't have the rasping sound that occurs when cylinders are dropped. Check out the Footwork at 00:13, which is what the above car would have to be if it has traction control. The rasping sound is heard all the way up through the revs. I think it's actually just the engine running a little rough in the low part of the rev range, aby senninho - F1
I think it's a Judd V8, but I could be wrong. This would, based on the comments, mean that it isn't 'A F1' There's a video of a Jordan 197 at Santa Pod, which is attracting similar comments because the driver didn't floor it. That one's definitely still a V10by senninho - F1
