Hamilton driving without the rev limiter lights is seriously impressing me.

Jessica Michibata, go knock yourself out on Google Images.

why?

Hamilton driving without the rev limiter lights is seriously impressing me.

I'm sure all the drivers could do it via the sound of the engine.

 

[mclaren777]

Well played, Goldrusher.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

why?

Because I've been trying to do it in F1 2010 and I always change too early, haha. I keep relying on the rev limiter to help me.

Yes, I hold F1 drivers to the same standards as how I play F1 2010.

Edit: Wow, okay that little bit of info about gear changing I did not know, haha.

 

[S. L.]

in gt5 it is fairly doable if you know your car and the track well

mclaren have been on the softer tyre

 

[DrM]

mclaren have been on the softer tyre

Um, they are saying prime tyre on their site. Also, DRS was not working for Button

#socialfriday: @TheGMTMaster asks: Was Jenson's best time set on the medium or soft tyres? On the Prime. Soft & Supersoft here.

This. Been using the NSX for like the last 6 months and I only look at the rev limiter if I'm on a straight.

BBC feed has died.

Audio only.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

I do it in real life when I drive obviously because then I have enough feedback to know when to change gear, but in F1 2010 the engines are so loud that I always think it's hitting the limiter before it is.

button set is 3rd place time on the yellow coded tyres, those are the softest aren't they?

 

[navanman]

Rosberg has a hot bum!! Someone hot gases are leaking into cockpit roasting him.

 

[mclaren777]

Heikki is probably sitting about an inch taller now.

Dunno, i missed his fast lap. Just posting what i read on Mclaren site. His DRS was not working and this is very crucial on this track.

Also, rain tommorow?

you are going up the the rev limiter in real life?

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Haha, no, but I can feel when to change gears in real life easily, I mean.

I only have sound to go on in the game and I can never nail it.

 

[Dilly]

you ask this like there is any other way?

 

[anonnumber6]

Jenson Button's girlfriend is so so hot.

Jessica Michibata.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

I think he means really straining it, like some people change gears about 10 seconds later than they should.

 

[Dilly]

I think he means really straining it, like some people change gears about 10 seconds later than they should.

I was making a joke, saying that you should go up to the limiter when you drive a car and..

Damnit Foliorum! Now it's not a joke anymore.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Ba dum tish.

*Benny hill theme song*

Saved?

All this from me sucking at changing gears without the graphic in F1 2010, haha.

 

[TylerD]

I caught the last 9 mins of fp1 on speedtv.com and noticed the mark on the wall of champions. Good job Vettel!

 

[mclaren777]

 

[modulaire]

Perez to be replaced for the rest of the weekend by de la Rosa.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Look at those eyes.

 

[mclaren777]

Perez to be replaced for the rest of the weekend by de la Rosa.

Fantastic!

 

[megateto]

Perez to be replaced for the rest of the weekend by de la Rosa.

Good for Pedro. I'll miss him during the Spanish coverage, but it's going to be great for him.

 

[anonnumber6]

Did Vettel crash into the 'wall of champions' in FP1?

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Yup. More of a bump than a crash.

 

[Leunam]

Perez to be replaced for the rest of the weekend by de la Rosa.

Why?

 

[modulaire]

Why?

I didn't listen to the complete comment on BBC but apparently he didn't feel as good/comfortable behind the wheel as he expected.

 

[Leunam]

That was my guess. That's too bad.

Like hey, y'know, whatever man, but, y'know, bbc guest commentator is, like, totally annoying, man. Whatever.

 

[DrM]

Sauber reserve driver is away, so they asked Mclaren if they can lend Pedro for this weekend.

Lewis still racing without display

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Like hey, y'know, whatever man, but, y'know, bbc guest commentator is, like, totally annoying, man. Whatever.

Not a patch on Karun.

Yep, bring back Chandhok.

Edit: Snap.

It's a shame Davidson is off at Le Mans this weekend.

 

[Dilly]

It's a shame Davidson is off at Le Mans this weekend.

Agreed, I could have easily taken his place.

Then again, if I ever had the luck that GT academy winner has, I'd probably cry during my stint out of enjoyment.

 

[DrM]

Massa will crash today, he is looking at that wall of champions...

 

[mclaren777]

Apparently Pedro is strolling around in his Mclaren overalls.

I'm dying to see a picture.
