    well he's been my rival this season. I only have a few races to go. Even with the AI difficulty up full you can still take 2 seconds+ on the AIs in QF. I think they should be harder to beat

    Love the names some turns have, especially on the older (street)circuits, like Raidillon (Spa Francorchamps), tamburello (Imola),Rascasse (Monaco) and many others. This sounds so much better, more dangerous and more challenging than turn 14. Even a name like 130R arouses me and a F1car flying out of the Parabolica onto the straigh, raaaaaaghh Powerfull stuff

    Spain's never been the same since they neutered the Europcar corner.

    Velcome, norro.

    Ok so everyone finds Vettel's finger waving celebration annoying, so I have found him a new celebration which I expect him to fulfill including music and costume.

    El_Bando sir, you have taste!

    Mine, in no particular order:

    1) Muse
    2) The Strokes
    3) The Jimi Hendrix Experience
    4) The Prodigy
    5) Frank Turner

    Its tough to choose 5! I was still trying to fit Feeder, Pendulum, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, LostProphets, Nirvana, Radiohead, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Stereophonics, We Are Scientists, Wolfmother and so many more in.

    The Pixies are awesome, a cornerstone of my music collection along with Julian Cope, Cardiacs, MGMT, Elvis Costello and Gorky's Zygotic Mynci.

    Top driving tunes:

    Nurses Whispering Verses - Cardiacs
    Motherfuker - Beck
    Killing In the Name - Rage Against the Machine (note - have had to stop playing this because it's impossible not to drive in a massively over-aggressive way when it's on)
    Isla De Incanta - Pixies
    Hey Boy Hey Girl - Chemical Brothers

    Will probably think of more later.

    And special mention to Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Muse (especially live), Tom Waits, and The Walkmen
