hmmm, would it be better to postpone this weekend then?



No. It was meant to be the order that we were when the safety car came out. I was saying this a few times in the lobby
but when it was ignored and people talking about Q orders I thought what the hell just let things go on.

The safety car is really halting things and unnecessary. I think it's best to drop it in total to be honest

A SC car is your best bet to overtake @IMMORTALPILOT after he runs off 👍

i'm not sure to be honest. rear looks nice and great to see the thick tyres back, but the front? hmmmm

I'm not sure i like how future F1 cars may look, nor road cars for that matter.
Everything is starting to look like VGT cars these days:tdown:

Too much focus on aerodynamics and less beauty

The aerodynamics and practical engineering is what makes it beautiful to me. Function over form, all day :D

P.S. I hated art class :lol:

It's soul-less :lol:

Nowadays there are too much electronics interfering with the car, I love to take my car out for a spin since It's just me and my car, it does what i tell it to :dopey:

I agree 100% on the electronics! I hate that about new cars :yuck:

Just learn to drive people! :lol:
 
Without electronic, engines wouldn't be as efficient as it is (intake management, etc...).
In 1955 the 2.5L engine of the infamous W196 would develop 290hp.
In 2014 the W05's 1.6L engine, about 650hp.

There's other factors but electronic sure is a big one !
 
I think we're mainly referring to electronic intrusions such as traction control, stability control, e-diffs that use disc braking to work (super lame), active suspensions, etc. On a lot of cars available these days you cannot shut off traction & stability control (AHEM, VW...) which sucks. And let's not forget the horrible steering feedback you get with electric power steering, ick.

I'm happy to say both of my cars have honest to goodness manual transmissions, hydraulic power steering and fully defeatable traction & stability control:)👍

And yeah, modern prototype race cars are ugly as sin. Like, hit every branch when falling out of the ugly tree ugly. I find beauty in function over form, but only to a point.
 
The new Ferrari is stunning! The one that successes the Italia!
 
You mean the massaged 458 Italia, now called the 488 Italia? :dopey:

Expecting a lower size grid this week

we will be carrying on with the safety car, I know, i'm not a fan either. But there won't be a real safety car. I'm willing to give @Wavey2014 another chance if he wishes to be race steward?

Lets hope this week is better than the last :cheers:
