adrian also did 1:13:xxx

pole also not very good.. always worried kena bang..

how come manual downshift can caused engine burn?? i use all the time woh.. nothing happened..

that depends on the attitude of the driver behind

So far Edwin who was on my tail did a nice job
He's + 0.2 seconds...but still does not hit my rear.
Until I brake suddenly (lost memory of a corner at Hockenheim )
exactly like Villeneuve's accident.
But Invul was ON.
I spunned and he leads.

It's pretty hard to burn the engine just like that. If you start a practice, stick the engine in neutral or do a constant spin in circles in 1st gear with full throttle (try helicopter view) and see how long before it blows, it takes quite a while. Two curves wouldn't do it. You were probably already close to an engine blown already.

I happened to view Gille's crash last week, I remembered how all sad we were back home... Tragic.

Here's my encounter with Gilles. July 1981, I was working at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa back then, my 1st job. There was an evening of entertainment with celebrities, Ronald Reagan and other politicians. Gilles had been invited. He left the concert hall earlier than the other guests, maybe tired or bored and he walked out the wrong way. He opened some glass doors and we met, he seemed lost so I asked where he wanted to go, he replied (french) "I want to get back to the bus they had to bring us here with all the other guests" I asked "Are YOU driving the bus?" He laughed and I walked him to the bus. Short lil' fellow. Very polite.

I did like this.
Mess around with downshift, brakes and gas I think.
Black smoke in 10 seconds

so,any races for 2nite?

If you do have a wheel I do suggest manual shift. Once you get the hang of it, you can actually stop a spin by shifting to a higher gear and then back down. Spinning happens more frequently that engine burns.

Manual shifting can actually stop a spin to a dead stop when your on the track and keep going almost as if nothing had happened.



I;'m on for racing tonight. I'm working on learning the Australia track

see...that's why put "Pit lane assistant ON"
then that won't happen.

I never use pit lane assist. I use 1st button top right of steering wheel for Limiter.

not necessary right, we already have speed limiter.. pit lane assistant is too slow..

just to avoid repeating young incident.
that's why in F1 pit lane speed is important.
some more, most of us DO NOT follow rules...flag etc.

cannot laa... using Pitlane Assistant will b too slow for a stop..
i like to bang to my pit crew when i doing stop, if in real life, sure all my crew gone down and no one can change tyres or fuel up for me.. i bang them like bowling..

I got smacked right outside the pitlane lar
I also haven't set pit lane assistance and launch control
have to reinstall PC before that too...kena some kinda problem last weekend

ooo...you got blue flag?
so give way la for the car behind you who was speeding on the straight line.

Got 1:22:876 at Australia

Pit lane assistance ON, pit stop will long time

If they speeding in pit lane during race day, they will get STOP and GO, so don't worry.
Beside, after race, we will watch the replay and see who cut corner, accident and so on.
..

Problem is...the "speeding" car was from the pits...not the track
pit lane assistance ON pls guys
