Wow, we went from Papaya Boys fandom to dunked on in like 2 years. Scud boys deserve a WDC, Sainz or sharl; don’t care who. My favorite teams look good. Can’t wait to see the absolute poo poo show.

Agreed. I don't understand how anyone can dislike DTS for:

1. Actually bringing new people in to the sport beyond dumb neckbeards.
2. Making an awful and boring F1 season somewhat interesting.

Because we're <1 week away from 75% of us either missing the races completely and/or posting about how we fell asleep on the couch after 15 minutes.

MustardFacial posted:

The thing most of the F1 idiots don't realize is that DTS isn't for us. It's a show made for the lowest common denominator to distill a boring sport into it's interesting components. We can put DTS on blast all we want for getting minute details wrong, but we're not the audience for it.

F1 reaches a much wider audience than any other motorsport and thus the marketing opportunities have much more impact. F1 also has a history of catering more towards the affluent audiences which is a space everyone wants to be in. We seeing more people wanting in now because the cost cap makes running an actual team at least somewhat viable.

DTS is just plain inaccurate in what little they show of the races, and I don't feel it's too much to ask for a little accuracy, even when it's targeted at the casual fan. I can't think of any other sport that behaves like this. With basketball for example, even for a casual fan who only watches highlights on ESPN SportsCenter, you never see them going, "here's LeBron James with the buzzer-beating 3 pointer," and then they show a clip of LeBron scoring a 3 pointer earlier in the game when the score was 25-22. With the NFL, they never say, "here's Tom Brady's game-winning touchdown in overtime," and it's a touchdown from early in the first quarter. I don't know why Drive To Survive tries to pull this poo poo, it's not that difficult to not lie to your audience.

SportsCenter is sports journalism. Drive to Survive is some kind of entertainment focused reality show. This is like complaining that 80 for Brady doesn't do an accurate job of explaining whatever Super Bowl it's about.

It looks like Netflix has DTS equivalents for both golf and tennis this year so it would be interesting to compare their accuracy.

It's obvious that this is a doppelganger and the real Lance has used it as an excuse to go surfing. We'll know this is true because the doppelganger will qualify higher than Lance would.

I'll be enjoying practice, qualifying, and the grand prix race while cheering on McLaren in the midfield and Charles, Carlos, and Lewis at the front of the pack while jeering at the perfidious dutchman!

I think it's gonna be fun OP and I look forward unironically to Brundle bumbling through a gridwalk and Crofty saying things that only confuse the action as he mixes up drivers names, numbers, and teams.

I can't wait!

with all the money in F1 and Miami, like just build a giant pool. That would be absurd and be the definition of the excess of F1. Throw some bumper boats in there, get some lifeguards that look like they stepped off the set of Baywatch, go to town.
