Re - Grand Tour chat. I think the guys had the totally wrong idea for what people wanted 'more of' in Top Gear. It wasn't pretty camera work, massive explosions, ridiculous stunts and studio segments. People want more Hammond, May and Clarkson bickering off the cuff about some trivial poo poo, more of those rare unscripted little jokes after a long day filming together, more of an impression that its these three guys getting their hands dirty with the challenges/car repairs etc, more 'real' adventures.

First step would be to reduce the massive crew. I think they had 40 guys with them for the Argentina special! God knows how many for the Nambia one on TGT.

Yeah, I've gone a bit cold on it in all honesty, not aggressively so but I just can't be bothered to watch it at the moment. I remember Top Gear being the highlight of my TV watching at one point but..... perhaps times have changed. :(

Hey fellow Brits, is Now TV reliable for the Sky F1 channel? I gave up paying monthly for Sky as it's a bit poo poo. I can get a day pass to the Sky sports channels as far as I know. I have a decent ISP so I don't tend to have any bandwidth issues. I only really want it for F1.

I swear Kimi was a Siamese cat in a former life.

Hamilton sounds like he's pushing the gently caress out of his Merc. Or he's having a heart attack.

Whatever happens I don't want to see Vet and Ham take each other out near the end. That would be a let down to the whole thing.

e: I assumed Kimi would've been in the bar by now.

What did Massa say on the radio about Vettel? It sounded like "I think he's afraid of women" which while undoubtedly true is kind of a non-sequitur.

You should be afraid of women. They live longer than us as a rule, evolution is giving us a hint.

I like Lewis as a Brit but I think his arrogance got the best of him again. He should have put the laps in early to get a safe place into the next session. Love seeing Kimi on pole again at last though. :D

Anyone played Project Cars? It's real cheap on Steam right now. Looking for another game before F1 2017 comes out.

As long as you don't have an AMD graphics card you should be fine. nvidia cards only in my experience with the game. The karting bits are a bit crap but everything else feels good to drive.

Stoffel showing disrespect to Massa.

Dunno how I feel about this one.

Now you mention it they both look equally confused/angry all of the time to me. I tend to be on the side of Massa though, he doesn't get much luck considering he's a good driver in the bigger scheme of things.
