What a total dumb ass I am. I just got done watching the F1 race at Australia. I really thought that it was stupid to have water as runoff barriers. Well come to find out it was blue sand! I must now say this track is modeled quite well :-) Oh yes. I was inspired to run a 25% race there in F1RS. I poled and actually got into the first corner clean. Against the lowest level, but what the heck it was fun :-) -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.

Hahahaha... 'Wow these F1 cars are so fast they float on water!' Sorry Greg! :) -- Dave Bowers

Cool! So, I'm not the only one trying to integrate a racing sim and live t.v.. Still have a ways to go though, but I'm workin' on it! Joe.

The real cars I have thought for quite some time that the sound of the cars in the game (during a race) is totaly realistic. At least I like it. Many disagree, I just ignore them, since *I* know better :-) -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.

Won the race with no problems. When I go up in AI levels I know it won't be a cake walk. So did the FIA take away the McLaren's 4th pedal yet? That was the difference IMHO. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.
