Re: Official Gran Turismo thread
I've been playing some GT5 ahead of buying GT6 to get myself in the mood :). Driving a maxed out NSX on a wet Nordschleife is the must fun I've probably ever had in the game!

I asked a lecturer about why it doesn't stop, and the thing is is that it does. They just rewind it every now and then and let it swing again. There is a formula as to why it takes the same time for it to do an osscelation, T^2=4(pi)^2(L over g) where t is time, l is distance from fulcrum and g grav...

This is easy - Schumi, even though I despised his dominance in the early 00's.

If we're trying to make the championship last to the end, we could have double points for interlagos, having the race double length. That would mean problems with fuel, so maybe refeuling half way through the race?

Massa was mainly focussed on proving that he's better than alonso when he doesn't play 2nd fidel to alonso. I think it was kind of embarrassing at the end when alonso pulled away at the end with massa stuck in 8th.

Re: Where did all the money go?
With the competitiveness of formula 1 these days, teams need to spend a lot in order to stay in the sport. Also, the new engines will cost a lot of money next year, and the new regulations mean that a lot od R and D is needed. As scuderia stevie said, travel expenses are pretty hefty.
