Kusch Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 F1 season open. BMW and Robert Kubica, second on the grid! What you favorite F1 driver, team? Give me "flying telephone pole" (SA-2)!
ED Team Groove Posted March 15, 2008 ED Team Posted March 15, 2008 McLaren Mercedes but i stopped watching F1 couple of years ago, it started to be boring. Im glad a Pole finally made it into F1 though! 2 Our Forum Rules: http://forums.eagle.ru/rules.php#en
Bucic Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 I've been watching Kubica's quest to F1 for many years and he's finaly made it! I have great hopes for upcoming season since electronic driver aids (traction control etc.) has been prohibited and those seemed to give Kubica more trouble than help last season. One of the most important things is the new BMW F1.08 performance AND reliability. Just count the points Kubica lost last season because of the old BMW car's glitches or serious malfunction! Any comparisons on performance of new '08 F1 cars? Is Ferrari and McLaren still superior?

Geier Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 I was a F1 watcher during 99-2003 when M.Schumacher was on the top of success and he had a furious battle at every stage with M.. Hakinnen:) Now it's not so interesting for me. 1
VMFA117_Poko Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 Only six drivers finished the race. These are the counted places: 1. Lewis Hamilton (McLaren Mercedes) 2. Nick Heidfeld (BMW Sauber F1) 3. Nico Rosberg (Williams Toyota) 4. Fernando Alonso (Renault) 5. Heikki Kovalainen (McLaren Mercedes) 6. Kazuki Nakajima (Williams Toyota) 7. Sebastien Bourdais (STR Ferrari) 8. Kimi Raikkonen (Scuderia Ferrari) [EDIT] Sorry, seven drivers finished the race but Rubens Barrichello (Honda) was disqualified from 6th place because he went off the pit under a red light.

VMFA117_Poko Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 Same as for Vettel on Fuji last year. But both situation should be taken as a racing incident imho.
Bucic Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 Same as for Vettel on Fuji last year. But both situation should be taken as a racing incident imho. Well I don't. It's the kind of sport where one could achieve too much by such incidents and "incidents". It's the highest level of racing sports:thumbup: with strict rules and it's non-contact sport after all :D F-5E simpit cockpit dimensions and flight controls Kill the Bloom - shader glow mod Poor audio Doppler effect in DCS [bug] Trees - huge performance hit especially up close
Flyby Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 no favorite driver but... I like the new specs for the cars this season. No more traction control or electronic engine braking. I hope this will allow the better "seat-of-the-pants" driver to come to the fore. Well, as long as the team he drives for also has the talent to put out a competitive car. ;) Flyby out The U.S. Congress is the best governing body that BIG money can buy. :cry:
KosiMazaki Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 F1 = crap for me. Last real and good motorsports are Paris Dakar and LeMans24. No matter how good you are, how good is your car or your team in such long time driveing anything can happend. Too bad that in this year the Dakar was cancled :( "Herr Rittmeiser landed, he clapped his hands and said: Donnerwetter! Eighty is a worthy number"
Bucic Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 No matter how good you are, how good is your car or your team in such long time driveing anything can happend. Sounds like lotery. I'm not a big fan... Speaking of LeMans24 - it reminds me the Paul Newman Winnig movie. One of the best old time movies ever! :thumbup: "He also developed a passion for auto racing after training with professionals for the 1969 drama “Winning.” By 1972, he was racing professionally and completed Le Mans’ 24-hour competition in 1979. The love of the racetrack would never leave him." I didn't know that till now.

Kusch Posted March 23, 2008 Author Posted March 23, 2008 Yes, yes, yes! Kubica 2 place on podium :) Give me "flying telephone pole" (SA-2)!
VMFA117_Poko Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 I like this boy. He said he could be first if would start raining.
Vekkinho Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 Nice work for Kubica, Great driver. Now with stripped cars (no traction controll) we can really see who's the driver! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

SuperKungFu Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 only race I'm interested in are AIR RACES: RED BULL AIR RACE lol wooo lol now I feel like one of those nascar idiots in the stands that doesn't have a shirt on [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Bucic Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 I was sleeping then but hey - it shows that Kubica is good on his own :D I will watch the race later.

eurofor Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 (edited) A bit early but it was a great race! Very nice to see Alonso is on his way back up and great performance by Kubica! If Räikkönen is "Iceman", Hamilton is the exact opposite. He just can't take it easy and that might cost him the title this season too. He said he wasn't gonna take any risks but he forgot to brake in the first corner. The way he's driving without respect, he does not deserve better.

Kusch Posted October 12, 2008 Author Posted October 12, 2008 If Räikkönen is "Iceman" Kubica is a man with no heart :D Give me "flying telephone pole" (SA-2)!
Bucic Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Kubica is simply a brilliant driver and I don't see people in Poland nor Kubica wondering if his going to be "iceman" or "maverick" or "goose" :sly: F-5E simpit cockpit dimensions and flight controls Kill the Bloom - shader glow mod Poor audio Doppler effect in DCS [bug] Trees - huge performance hit especially up close
Cosmonaut Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Gatecrashing your F1 party :P. I was at one point the biggest F1 fan you could imagine (Tifosi) but after Schumacher left, F1 became exactly what the manufacturers have always wanted IMO and that is a constructors championship instead of a drivers one. Now I watch Moto GP and World Supper Bike and that is how racing should be. Overtaking happens not in pits but on the track and having the best bike means nothing becasue it's ability of the rider that wins the championship. Check it out: Moto GP: http://www.motogp.com/ World Supper Bike: http://www.worldsbk.com/pubb_EN/index.php You can see every race on the SBK site. A couple races left before the seasons ends so check it out. :thumbup: Infomercial over :D. Cozmo. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Minimum effort, maximum satisfaction. CDDS Tutorial Version 3. | Main Screen Mods.
Bucic Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 I've abandonded SBK since no SBK sim has been released since, I don't know, 1999? :) Thanks for the info about online races! :thumbup: F-5E simpit cockpit dimensions and flight controls Kill the Bloom - shader glow mod Poor audio Doppler effect in DCS [bug] Trees - huge performance hit especially up close
