I know this might sound like a revolutionary idea but wouldnt it have been a good idea to test a system like this out before you shove it into your multi million pound sport?

Alain Post posted:The restrictions on engine development/token system are dumb IMO, but I've never really believed in development restrictions/cost cutting measures. I'm still confused how developing a completely different powertrain was supposed to cut costs, honestly dont care about the sound anywyay. I thought they sounded pretty cool when first introduced, you could hear the turbos spooling up and also the hybrid bits whining away.

Alain Post posted:I also feel like if you let teams/manufacturers push the envelope a bit you'd get more unpredictability in the form of unreliability, but maybe not, since mechanical attrition seems to be on the way out in all forms of motorsport. We did have a fair amount of unreliability last season though, just not from mercedes. It does feel like the limits on replacement everything seems far too low though. Maybe a couple more engine/gearbox/mgukbughsjh/turbo wouldnt hurt and I doubt it would cost that much more seeing as most of the cost of these things is in development anyway. be nice wicka posted:it wasn't supposed to cut costs. everyone knew it would be expensive and the development restrictions were meant to contain that expense. of course no one had the foresight to realize that ultra-complex engines tend to be unreliable in year one, nor did they realize how much better mercedes could be. Maybe it was the initial proposal of a 4cyl engine that was meant to cut costs?

Rev. Dr. Moses P. Lester posted:So at what age will we stop excusing whiny hissy fit tantrums? I guess retirement age cause Fernando and Super Seb were doing it last year or the year before. Well Alonso managed it from beyond the grave, because he died and was rebuilt into an indistructable Spanish automaton.

learnincurve posted:The media is poo poo. "ISIS" are pissed at the French not Europe in general, and it's a very specific set of people out for revenge and their motivation has nothing to do with ISIS' political aims. A few years ago the French turned a blind eye when racists kept setting fire to slum buildings in Paris which had 18 people living in one bedroom flats and loads of kiddies burned to death. Now they are SHOCKED that ISIS would recruit the relations of these murdered people living in Belgium and France and that they might be out for blood. If they are going to bomb anywhere then it will be hockenheim if their past actions are anything to go by.

be nice wicka posted:completely off topic, but if you've ever wondered who is currently eligible for a super license based on the new points system, wiki has a list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIA_Super_Licence#Drivers_securing_a_Super_Licence So it looks like if you drive in LMP1H you get a superlicence pretty much. Although there are some GTLM drivers in that list. daslog posted:The business model really boils down to "find the tracks willing to pay the most money." Europeans probably feel like F1 is their sport and there should be more races there, but if the fans don't turn out to pay the high prices then Europe will end up with as many races as the USA gets. Honestly the prices are ridiculous for most european races, its cheaper for me to run two trackdays or sprint days than it is to watch an F1 race live. It makes watching any other form of motorsport live look incredibly cheap in comparison.

Human Grand Prix posted:Old Silverstone was cool though. Like Kyalami, Fuji, and Hockenheim it was a fast circuit that was nerfed. The old config was better for sure, however its very much a power track so unless you have something stupid fast its not very interesting to drive. The new layout confuses me because it just feels like they randomised the corners of old silverstone.

Paddock hill bend is insanely ftw, every time I've been somebody has always had a massive off into it, once when I came out of the pits a 944 went past me straight into the gravel showering me with the stuff got the session red flagged and then they decided to shut up shop for the day. The next time some twat in a Ford Puma rolled it about 10 minutes into the day, few others i forget. I've been lucky as I only ever had a couple of spins at graham hill (too much speed on a cold track on cold tyres) and Clark curve (constantly trying to boot it over a damp patch instead of using the wet line) Only problem is most TDO's run the indy circuit which can get pretty crowded and days for the GP one are double the cost.

Helicon One posted:Last time I was at Brands Hatch that somebody was Lewis Hamilton when he was racing Formula Renault. It's pretty scary in the wet or if you aren't confident with it, but once you get it right the feeling of compression going down the hill is brilliant even in a roadcar, I'd love to try it in something like a formula ford.
