if it was filmed at 60fps it would probably look fine, but when they try and do these upscaling things to add frames inbetween it always just makes it look weird.

Frond posted:Piquet was cool. Azza Bamboo posted:I think that's Checo Serra's Fittipaldi Ford machine, although it's one of a set of nosecone options and you see it change sometimes. Keke Rosberg seems to choose the flatter under-the-nose option more often. The one I was looking for was indeed the Theodore one. Just finished the Zandvoort '81 and Prost definitely got in there on that one. Andretti with another "these cars are too short so my legs are messed up" wrecks. Also the "catch fencing" is making my eyes twitch. I can't believe this was an acceptable saftey measure (preferred and mandatory, even) in this era. ![]() ![]() I think I read that during one accident, one of the catch fencing posts came loose and struck a driver in the head. Edit: It was Geoff Lees, who it happened to in South Africa '81 (which is not on F1 TV since it wasn't a WDC event that year). Reutemann also narrowly escaped being strangled by catch fencing at the same event.

Talk about track evolution! I gotta say I like the look of this Brabham so I guess I'm for Piquet. This Vegas "street course" is wild. It's entirely contained within one casino parking lot. bgreman fucked around with this message at 04:48 on Dec 23, 2020 |

bgreman posted:I watched the Argentina race but didn't notice that. Talk about track evolution! Piquet is the best choice of the era. He was a beast on the track and a very colorful character off the track. He absolutely tormented his teammates with cruel pranks and juvenile insults. He was also known for being able to fart on command when mechanics stuck their heads in his lap to adjust stuff in the car. And that Brabham with the milk company branding is gorgeous.

1981 Recap: Prost would probably have won the WDC easily if not for all the DNFs. Ferraris broke every other race. Piquet gets the WDC largely by finishing in the points most. Reutemann was ahead all season only to lose it in the last race by a single point. The cars are intended to go the full race length on a single load of fuel and a single set of tires. Going to the pits was usually bad news. These cars break down a LOT, especially the turbos. Ten cars finishing a GP seemed to be the average, out of 24-ish starting. Points only for the top six finishers seems pretty harsh. More turbos next season, I reckon. No safety cars or red flags all season! ![]() Many of the interesting overtakes happened off camera with nary a replay. The Jones/Reutemann drama in Brazil seemed prime to carry on throughout the season but it never really materialized. Piquet being carried out of his car after the finale because a Vegas masseur jacked up his back pretty much sums up the season. Lmao people keep tossing beers to Jones on his last time on the podium at Vegas. Edit: the footage for 1982 is notably better, at least for Kaylami. Most of the 82 field has no front wings. bgreman fucked around with this message at 08:32 on Dec 23, 2020 |

Most of the 82 field has no front wings. 82 is also a season that majorly changed how the cars looked, on the same scale as 94. The Villeneuve, Pironi and Paletti accidents really pushed them to move the drivers back in the car and stop the giant launches when the cars raised the nose during contact, and is the reason we still have flat floors on the cars to this day.

Reutemann was ahead all season only to lose it in the last race by a single point. Reutemann's drive in Vegas is one of the more uninspired I've seen. Laffite had an outside shot so it would have been nice if he had actually been able to pull it off. And yes, the Turbos had atrocious reliability - also quite laggy. The Ground Effect '82 cars had so much downforce most only needed rudimentary front wings, and on high speed courses like Kylami - none at all.
