McLaren won a race and gave way too many people hope, chief amongst them Danny Ric. (Seriously, go watch Monza 2020 and 2021).

Cars aren’t going ICE-only, but removing the MGU-H aka the heat capture part of the turbocharger from 2026. So the KERS part (braking recovery) will have more power instead. This change has already got Audi to commit to joining F1, and possibly Honda. There are rumors about who Red Bull will have badge their 2026~ engines after Porsche fell through.

i feel bad for Riccardio, after that beastly season at redbull when he out drove vettel i was expecting him to have a WDC soon and then he out-alonsos alonso in the team choice & timing

the mgu-h is a super cool piece of technology but i get why they'd ditch it, limited commercial application and I'd imagine it bumped engine r&d costs up by an insane amount

are they still gonna be 1.6t v6s?

alao did they ever find a way to make the sport not force taller drivers to starve/dehydrate themselves to near death to keep a competitive pace

Being tall will always be a disadvantage but there is a drivers minimum weight of 80kg. If they are under (and they all are I think) it is made up with cockpit ballast

yeah, I think the only other car I've heard use the MGU-H was Porsche's 919 sports prototype car - at the time in the WEC the LMP1 hybrid cars could use different types of systems, and Porsche used one of those. But the complexity and limited road car relevance was cited by plenty of people as a reason they didn't jump in during the current era (Cosworth I think had a design ready for the ICE but didn't think they could do the MGU-H at all, and I think removing it was the thing the VAG companies wanted).

Believe they're still going to be 1.6l V6 turbos.

:mods:

GT has always been this, they just now have the budget and graphical fidelity to do it in a grandiose manner. And you literally start the game choosing between a Fit, Aqua and Demio, three contemporary pillars of the cheap JDM market.

And then you can only enter a series where the other cars are Fits, Aquas and Demios. And they're realistically the only other cars you can enter with.

And the same happens with FR cars. And then Fords. And then Chevrolets.

Until after nearly 40 times of being told exactly what car to use in what race, the game just goes "Ok done bye!" and you're left with a half finished mess where there's no real reason to revisit the races since reward cars can't be won again, so the only thing left to do is grind for Hagerty cars that don't qualify to be entered into any events. So you're reduced to just kinda driving around in custom races or time trials by yourself.

I gave up on the main "Game" the 70th time I was absolutely screwed by heavy rain that was not on the scanner arriving mid lap and everyone else having super human grip while I was surfing around like Nick Latifi driving his best ever race.

I enjoy reading all the ways to fix Indycar which boil down to re-creating the IRL/CART depending on which side of the split you were on.

What I do appreciate about motorsport.com's comment section is that the posters put in spectacular amounts of work to ensure that their poo poo takes are contorted to whatever information they are presented with. If any of their bile and garbage had even an iota of intellectual merit, you'd have to respect it. Unfortunately, it doesn't and it comes off as an incel community specifically for the mentally challenged.
