ok mate, i get you. I still think MS's fanboys are the weeping pustules on the very arse of motorsport though. Cheers Gerry

I think it is a widespread misconception that there are drivers don't get excited, angry, nervous and who are always cool during the race. I think the strength of successful racers is that they are able to contain their emotions, and to blank their excitement, anger or nervousness out until after the race. Thus preventing these emotions from affecting their driving and their decisions. Mental strength isn't the absence of weaknesses, it's the capability to deal with them efficiently when necessary.

Hi Gerry, The wink wasn't directed at you in the sense that the comment referred to you.

I think we're thinking in different categories. And if I understand this 'weeping arse' term correctly, our manners are also in different categories. Achim "JTBurn" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Jq959.154533$[email hidden]...

Quite right too. It's only holier than though MS who is allowed to block or take another car out in order to win a championship. We all know that <G>...... MS

Hill was dangerously jumping around the race track blocking MS and the only question you have is if they punished MS... LOL I forgot, only MS is doing the naughty stuff. l8er ronny

I never said that. I simply asked a question. If you want to read something else into that, it's your choice... Eldred -- Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPLRank:+8.09 N2002 Rank:+22.329 Remove SPAM-OFF to reply.

Sorry, until a couple of days ago I was reading the F1 ng. Your question sounded just like a question one of the MS hateboys would ask, so I jumped the gun. I need to get out of the aquired MS defense mode (not even close to a "fan" of MS), but that's what this ng is doing to me. l8er ronny

You should read the whole thread then maybe your contributions wouldn't be the shite they are. I don't waste my time hating MS or arguing about who was more at fault in any particular incident. I just enjoy watching that kind of close racing. I don't throw all my toys out of the pram because other people slag off my hero either.

That's just what this guy always does. He grabs the wrong end of the stick, smears it with shite, then tries to hand it back to you. Cheers Gerry

Apology accepted. But you do bring up an interesting point. I've never seen anyone penalized for blocking. At least, I don't *remember* seeing it. Who was the last? Also, you have to admit that certain drivers tend to get the benefit of the doubt. Doesn't matter what race series. Same thing happens in other sports as well. A player like Cal Ripken, Jr. might get a higher percent of judgement calls than someone like John Rocker. Doesn't make it right, and it might not happen as often as people like to think, but it DOES happen...

Yessir. Apparently the gossip and I use that word because all I've heard about it is gossip :) is this. Baltimore, for whom Ripkin played, had a game rained out. No big deal it happens all the time. But here is the reason. Supposedly Ripkin was NOT at the ballpark, supposedly he was at a hospital(or as our UK friends would say..at hospital) receiving medical attention after getting in a fist fight with Kevin Costner.(yes the actor) Ripkin had returned home before a game and found Costner in bed with Ripkin's wife. The fight that followed didn't seriously injure either participant, but did necessitate a trip to the hospital( or as our UK viewers would say...a trip to hospital) The Team owner, realizing that a huge future attendance payday would be lost if the streak was broken, convinced the umps..($$??) to cancel the game even tho the weather was barely foggy let alone downpouring. There you have it...totally off topic and completely hi-jacking the thread...what were you guys talking about anyhow???? dave henrie

At least, I don't *remember* seeing it. Who was the last? I don't think any racing series penalizes for blocking if the cars are fighting for position. In F1 blocking happens all the time and goes hand in hand with pit strategy, since a lot of times teams will leave their #2 driver out longer than the #1 driver in order to act as a blocker. I don't remember seeing a "block" strategy option in Grand Prix Manager, tho. =) Otherwise, in F1 you have to move over after the third blue flag if you're not on the same lap. Coulthard took advantage of this rule a few years ago (Suzuka 99? I forget) to hold up one of the Ferraris for the full 3 flags. Jason
