Adam: See my previous post. I think you should be in a Yugo.

Sorry I didn't have a headset and mic last night. I was testing out the MS wireless wheel which does not have the headphone jack. Thought I might be able to connect the headset to a second controller, but you guys couldn't hear me. I liked the wheel, but like being able to communicate better so next week I'll be back to a normal controller.

Zeppo's driving mimicked the leg lamp in "A Christmas Story" -- it was indescribably beautiful. Very well done, man. My youngest son worships the ground upon which you walk.

Man, those two tracks are tough. I like Shanghai; Kim Jung Il Raceway blows. I couldn't get a feel or flow for either track, probably due to my mental state.

Looking forward to next Friday because this game is ... f*cking AWWWWWWWWWWWESOME.

Count me along with your son as one of his worshipers.... I know I was in 23rd but watching him lap me for the second time in Korea, I was in awe.

Zeppo is legend.

This game is f***in awesome!!!

Good fun last night fellas. After 6 weeks of disappointing the italian faithful with last place finishes it was nice to see Ferrari on the podium.

This game is just silly fun.

Once again the voices of the DSP F1 Friday night choir sounded fantastic. What was that first song?

Dad to Landon: "What do you think of Blue Moon beer?"
Landon to Dad: "It's weird."
Dad to Landon: "What kind of weird? Is it anything more than that?"
Landon to Dad: "It's gay."

FIFA you seem to have improved massively since we last raced. I guess you've been practicing? I felt a little bad doing so well because I clearly have way more experience at both of those tracks than anyone else. Especially Korea, where it seemed like I was the only one to have raced it at all. I like that place ok. It's not a real classic, but it's not a useless disaster. I like the second half of it quite a bit, after the little Micky-mouse back and forth hairpins. But I don't understand why the walls are so close in so many areas, and the pit entrance is simply awful.

The AI presents a problem for me. It's hard to tell how good the Legend AI is, because they were in the Red Bull and the McLaren, but they were just miles ahead of me right away at China. But there is no way that I, in a Sauber, should be able to qualify 3rd on prime tires at the beginning of the session against Pro AI. I never got another lap in. I simply can't believe it would happen offline. I know it wouldn't happen in career, where you build the upgaptades to the cars throughout the season.

It just seems there is too much of a gap in quality between Pro AI and Legend, and while Pro AI seems to give me a good fight offline especially if I am not in a top car, it certainly seems much less competitive online. It's really weird to me.

And I have no idea what happened at Korea. I pitted three times, once because Karthekaian (sp?) cut off my nose on the final turn, and then two laps later I went in for Inters. But Vettel pitted on his options two laps before I did with my primes, and he just disappeared. Somehow half way through I was in first place with Webber thirty seconds behind me. I'm sure it had to do with the rain, and I guess the AI went too soon to the inters, or I don't know what happened. Really weird race.

Looking like I might just be able to stay awake for this.

Looking like I might have got that wrong...sorry, fellas. Sounds like a fine old time was had as usual.

Zeppo - I figured a few things out since I last raced 2 weeks ago.

1. I took your advice and decided to drive for consistency and not speed.

2. I started to figure out my car. The biggest difference for me was ditching the Brake/gas relationship for a on the gas / off the gas relationship.
