Going back to the previous page, you can vote for the same driver as long as it isn't on consecutive days, so that is fine to heal or hurt someone twice. -
I don't think that was a jump start. I think the TV graphics of the lights were slow, because looking at the cars behind, they all went too, so no jump start for me. -
I don't know, but if was funny watching it on the TV :p All the cars revving their engines for 20+ seconds and the lights are just stuck on red hahafIsince08 said:Did anyone actually find out what caused the lights to stick on for the first race? -
I have seen a documentary or two which are pretty convincing in saying that the landings were fake, but I personally would say they happened. -
I really like the game. A lot. It's so good to have the option to increase the length of career races too. I put mine to x3 and that means the open wheel races were all like 13 minutes long and the endurance ones were 24 mins instead of 8 mins. Awesome.CBA to do a full review now, I'll probably do one later in the month, or the year, or the decade... -
This is is one of those comments that has made me laugh, like, a lot!RevolvingPrawn said:All those long hours rehearsing for Cinderella finally paid off ;) -
I do not understand how some threads on the forum are listed as 'Answered' when they are clearly not. For example, there is a thread where the OP has posted saying he cannot sign into RaceNet on his PS3. A poster has replied saying he has the exact same problem, and the original OP then posted to ask another question. The thread is listed as 'Answered', so who decides this? Is it the OP? The forum? Mods? -

Formula 1 is my favourite form of motorsport and I'm sure it always will be, and I'll still be watching regardless of whatever happens in its future.But I just do not understand the new rule makers. I believe that just over a week ago there was some meeting held which discussed how to get the fans more involved and how they should make rules which the fans will like.Why then do they make a rule which does the exact opposite? This time last year, even this time 2 months ago, no one was complaining about the safety car restarts saying we should change it. Like the double points of this year, it is the solution to a problem that didn't ever exist!They are probably doing all this to attract new fans as the TV viewing figures have dramatically decreased in the last year, so it looks cool, but what about the millions and millions of current fans, the true fans, the racers, who have been watching for years, the ones who just want something normal?First of all, having a standing start will just increase the likelihood of another crash which will bring out another safety car. The safety car is called that for a reason. It's for safety purposes. It slows the cars down. That doesn't mean you need a full restart. Imagine if this rule had been applied at the 2007 Canadian GP. There would have been the real start and then another four standing restarts, which is just stupid.Then there's the problem of overheating cars. If the safety car comes out in the last 20% of the race, then the cars will be all hot and things will be wearing out, so there's a big chance people will have problems on the grid (stalling, meaning another formation lap) and also more likely to cause a collision at T1 or T2.I think that the safety car restart procedure should have some change though, just not a complete standing restart. A safety car restart always makes me think 'ooh, something is gonna change, it's gonna be exciting again', but it never really is to be honest. They file out of the final corner in single file and no one ever makes any overtakes into turn one or two. They have attempts, but nothing really happens.So therefore, I think rolling starts would be the best solution. As I said in a previous thread, the cars get into two by two formation (apart from perhaps Monaco) when the message comes up saying 'Safety Car in this lap'. They go through the final corner at low speed and onto the straight, and when the start lights turn green, they go for it and they start again.Doing this would mean the cars don't stop so they don't overheat. Also the cars are more spread out than a standing start, and therefore it's less likely for another crash to occur. This seems so flippin obvious to me. I wish I could write to the FIA or strategy group telling them to get their act together.Then there's the new parc fermé rules which means that they are in parc fermé from the end of FP3? Or is it the start of FP3? Anyway, what is the point in FP3 any more? The teams use it to fine tune their setups for the race and qualifying, but now, why would they bother running? They will have to do all the work on Friday and they'd probably rather save parts than run for an hour, especially with four power units next year (another stupid rule). -
I'm gonna sound like a douche when I say this, because I have been told the answer to this question before but I can't remember.Why does the qualifying at Assen always happen on a Friday instead? Is it like a big rest day on Saturday or something? -
I got a Hauppauge HD PVR 2 as well Dave, it's so good. -
When you do eventually start revealing stuff, is there a chance you can be as open as Loore was with GRID Autosport? It is so good to just have the answers there and then instead of 'oh we can't say right now'. I appreciate there are some things you need to keep behind closed doors, but please be as open as possible :pHatta said:Sorry for the lack of info guys, and well... the vagueness of everything at the moment. We're just waiting on a few things before we announce. As Steve mentioned, we're hoping we can start revealing stuff soon. -
Right, although I haven't got the game yet (although that should change in the next couple of days I hope!), I thought I'd create a club on GRID Autosport for us Codemasters Forums Off-Topic members.I have sent invites to those of you on my RaceNet friends list (sorry to anyone I missed out), but you can also join by clicking the link below. The group membership is moderated, but you'll be accepted as I'll just recognise your forum username.https://racenet.codemasters.com/grid-autosport/club/185/cm-forums-otJust click that link, then click on 'Join Club' and there you go! -
That could be cool, but I would love to know who these well-placed sources are. -
5th place overall, amazing! -
The DiRT guys have a DiRTi Gossip Thread, we should have one for F1 haha :p -
Sounds awesome man! Looking forward to seeing the photos. You'll have a super time, I wanna go again now! Last time for me at the touring cars was Silverstone 2011!Tommig1995 said:I'm getting quite excited because I'm going to my first ever BTCC race day at Croft on Sunday. Given I've never sat through a whole race day on TV before it will be interesting, but judging by the excitable comments of my friends from North West Rally who I'm going with, there's paddock access and all.
I'm taking my camera, and I'll post a link to any good photos I take, plus there'll be some activity on our Facebook & Twitter pages, and probably mine too if my phone works.
@fIsince08, didn't you go last year? Are you going this time? -
Oh my, I really do hope that isn't true. Who would even do that? -
Yeah you do get used to them. Unless you're like my sister who always finds something to complain about, be it the pain, the wire, the brackets, the elastic bands, etc. I had them all and I had no trouble, and if I did, well I didn't complain every day like she does. -

You haven't seen the Austrian track in the games because of that exact reason you said! It's the first time they've been there in 11 years.FFOman said:I was wondering why I hadn't seen the Austrian track in any of the games I bought. I didn't realize it was even missing from the F1 series I had until during the actual race this morning they talked about it coming back thanx to Red Bull from an 11 year hiatus! I remember watching Schumacher's win there but never realized it had gone off the schedule!
In any case, and although I would have preferred seeing one of the Williams's drivers wining the race after capturing both poles by Q3, ( not an easy thing against the Mercedes ), I found the venue particularly interesting and fun to watch because out of all the tracks on the official circuit, this one makes the cars stack up in dense groups more than any other, calling for extreme driving ability! That and the toll this track takes on one's brakes because of the short straights turning into what in the majority are downhill curves, made this one of the more exciting races so far!
