And WTCC at Nürburgring Nordschleife, which is f*ckin' awesome!

"I have decided, based on discussions with the drivers, they are likely to be put in more danger trying to dispose of tear-offs in the cockpit than they are from a tear-off on the track.

"With this in mind I felt the best thing to do was exercise common sense and ask the drivers to simply keep the amount of visors they use to an absolute minimum, bearing in mind of course that this will vary due to a number of factors.

"Based on this rationale we do not intend to make a report about any driver disposing of a tear-off on the track or in the pitlane."

Typical FIA.

Typical FIA.

Because they U-turned, right? Thankfully it's just common sense prevailing.

 

[DD]

Soooo looking forward to the WTCC race, last race in Morocco was good, mostly because of the havoc of race 1 with the wet track and Coronel winning

WTCC is the coolest championship no one cares about.
Nice looking cars and awesome circuits like Macau and Nurburgring.

LOL!

I've never been big on DTM before but they take the cake this year. They had two absolutely fantastic race weekends at the Hockenheimring and the Red Bull Ring.

The 40 minute sprint race at Hockenheim was pure madness: https://youtu.be/0b0KhzAmpnY?t=615

Yes, thank you DTM. No, really, thank you.

That blows. I guess you'd be able to unblock it with Hola for Firefox or Chrome.

Wait, they've got Pokémon driving for them now?

I'd buy the ever loving shit out of a Pokemon F1 game

Funny thing is, the canopy RBR trialled a few weeks back would pretty much negate the need for tearaways, yes?

 

[NOKYARD]

The canopy itself would require a tearaway.

 

[Fox Mulder]

The canopy itself would require a tearaway.

Which they'd take care of at a pit stop, like NASCAR.

Which they'd take care of at a pit stop, like NASCAR.

I don't believe they could take care of that in 2 seconds. D:

 

[McNum]

I don't believe they could take care of that in 2 seconds. D:

I think you're underestimating F1 pit crews there. I don't see why they couldn't get it down to less than two seconds. It all comes down to designing the tearaway right and training the crew. And those two things F1 has never really failed at.

Hmm, yeah, that may be possible, but that guy who pushes the new tire in would be in the way.

Hahaha, "that bloody asshole"

That was just crazy, four cars parallel into harpin

 

[acm2000]

WTCC is what gran turismo bumper cars could be like if they ever pulled their fingers out and fixed the physics

 

[Zeknurn]

This GP2 race is pretty good.

 

[Aiii]

Peter Windsor again with the great in-depth analysis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPJOXc1XI8I

His YT channel is a gem.

 

[Psychotext]

This GP2 race is pretty good.

Ouch, bit of a tap on the wall in the tunnel there.

 

[Zeknurn]

Ouch, bit of a tap on the wall in the tunnel there.

Yeah, that was a bit too brave.


What an anticlimatic way for Sirotkin to go out.

 

[Psychotext]

What an anticlimatic way for Sirotkin to go out.

Yup. Didn't look happy.

Awww man, another crash.

 

[Mastah]

That mistake was hilarious, like this guy forgot what kind of corner Rascasse is.

 

[Psychotext]

What on earth is going on with King?

 

[Zeknurn]

This is hilarious. About half way through the race everything went bonkers.

 

[Psychotext]

Great racing.

 

[Zeknurn]

I like to think there's a team named "RUSSIAN TIME" just so that when their drivers do a power slide it will pop up on screen.

 

[Psychotext]

Markalov is racing the wheels off that car.

Ugh, another VSC. Markalov is gonna get robbed.

 

[Elvin Atombender]

That virtual safety car is getting a lot of work today.

A local yellow must surely be enough there if they leave the car?

 

[mclem]

I think you're underestimating F1 pit crews there. I don't see why they couldn't get it down to less than two seconds. It all comes down to designing the tearaway right and training the crew. And those two things F1 has never really failed at.

I could see them having a crane device which is attached during the stop and actually pulls the tearaway clear as they drive away.

Which is probably all kinds of health-and-safety dangerous, but would in fact look quite cool.

 

[Psychotext]

Go go go.

Edit - Ooh, drama.

 

[Zeknurn]

What just happened?

 

[Psychotext]

Argument is that he didn't respect the VSC, but maybe the second place guy wasn't hitting his deltas.

 

[Elvin Atombender]

How was that possible? I thought he had a 15-16 second advantage before the VSCs started?

 

[Zeknurn]

Yeah it's like he found a secret shortcut.

 

[Psychotext]

It's a strange one. He either cheated, or Nato fucked up massively.

Though, I'm curious how Williams managed to optimize pitstops to such a degree that the 4 teams that spend more than twice as much money on F1 couldn't.

 

[Zeknurn]

RUSSIAN TIME

 

[Mastah]

This is such a WTF moment, lol.

 

[Psychotext]

RUSSIAN TIME

Ha, literally.

 

[acm2000]

limited edition williams sure for men?

"smells like 4th place"

Summer 2016.

 

[xrnzaaas]

I'm still playing F1 2015 and I'm enjoying it very much. The biggest downside is that you can't play a championship as a custom player (preferably in some kind of career mode). There are only basic 2014 & 2015 championships.

 

[Aiii]

Career Mode is returning for 2016.

 

[Fox Mulder]

I'm in for 2016. The last game was a great foundation to build on and just lacked content.

Bahrain and Singapore midday? Hmm...

Yes, game will support changeable time of day.

 

[Mastah]

Ah, cool. I thought maybe they don't have night time implemented yet or it wouldn't be in the game.
