Witnessed this little gem today. I was watching the giro 'd italia because the cyclers went through a nearby village. So the advertisment cars came by led by an pink 'n ugly bmw I8 obviously refering to the leader of the competition always wearing a pink shirt. So then the second bmw i8 passes by a nice white one with the slogan "Not everything is beautifull in pink". I hate that i didnt have my camera ready at that moment.
 
No idea I had it playing: Miles Davis can make that race sound relaxing, but I assure you, it was not!

Then there was the moment in the 500 when all the talking heads said eyeryone has to stop. I turned to my racing buddy and said ROSSI DOESNOT! Followed By the first scream of YEEEESSSS in many years issued from lips while watching races on tv...when the leaders pitted. TAKE THAT YOU F1 TEAM MANAGERS!

Sent in my submission for #125 but no reply from the bot. "Views:" turned from 0 to 1 after a while, though.

I would send again, just to be on the safe side. I'm not wanting to look over the submissions right now, as I may still participate.
 
Parity/ boosting tonight The ring with the Merc Schnell....fun ahead. Start 2100 central...first one there open the room...
 
Just thought I'd pop in and say hello as I haven't been around for a while. PS3 is currently packed away as am moving flat next week and haven't felt like playing games recently...may try and get back into it after the move but difficult to get motivated when my GTP running will stop when GTS is released as I can't afford a PS4 (gave up smoking to save the money for it but my enforced flat move has wiped out those funds...damn landlord selling my flat!!). Oh well, I'll see what's what when the move is done and everything has calmed down.

Hope everyone is well
 
Iam a bit confused about why this is beeing called race events , because it seems too me that no matter what combo , it will be made so its more about drift than race , but its offcourse just my opinion , but I have waited and waited for me to see that I was wrong , but in my opinion it havent happend sadly , I dont want too write a novel on why iam off this mind , but will give 1 example ......why would any one put other tires than racing tires on a racingcar , I really dont get it ? Please dont say its because it shouldnt be to easy or something like that and remember its called race events , I have said this the best way I can in english , but it fell`s wrong too how I would say it in danish hehe

Which events are you referring to exactly? If it is the Wrs, last Weeks car was a racing car on racing tires. Also I think you may be missing the point, the idea is to push the car and tires to the limits of grip and find the fastest line. For the most part, drifting would slow you down as the tires are producing smoke and noise instead of forward motion. If you find the car drifting you have most likely pushed to hard into the turn.
 
yes...but while challenging drives with totally unsuited tyres are a pleasure for the Alien-like advanced driver ...they represent unpleasant drives for the average driver in that they can never hope to control the car on the edge( talking about me of course). In turn this can prove to be intimidating for prospective new members. The NA WRS room is a very good example of this as the majority are VERY accomplished and the minority are average and thus hopelessly outclassed when edgy car combos arrive. BUT... because the people get along very well the race, while serious, is more casual and thus becomes enjoyable even if damn near impossible. AND... since the word is out on the street that the WRS combos are, shall we say, interesting...we get very few new guys. So, should we drive race cars on street rubber... IMHO.. NOOOOO! Or let the lesser mortals have race rubber and the aliens have street rubber.:D
