Yes US cover for F1 is going to Apple TV for at least next 5 years. Starting with the 2026 season. And why the hate for Las Vegas. It races well for them. And they can actually make passes. Unlike some of permanent venues they go too. It's a lot better than longtime traditional street track they go to along the Mediterranean.

I just don't like street courses, it's just 90° turn after 90° turn with straights connecting them. They generally make for crap racing. I also can't support the Vegas race because of the way they jack prices up, they deserve to have no attendance. As far as F1 being on Apple for the time being I don't think you will miss much with the debacle that will be the new engine and chassis regs. F1 is at probably the most competitive time ever with 4 teams that can win on a given weekend and they want to make wholesale changes, what are they thinking? I especially don't like the increased electrical demand, FE already exists if people want to see electric cars, the attendance figures show that that is not want the fans want. As for the manufacturers that say they need F1 as a test bed for road cars I aint buying it, road cars are already far more advanced than F1 and the way road cars are used doesnt really apply to how the systems are used in F1. The manufacturers just think they will gain an advantage under the new regs so they vote for them. For the first time in decades I am prepared to not see much F1 next year.

I don't care what the track looks or drives like as long as it races good. I don't care if it's the most overly complicated masterpiece of a race track. If drivers can't pass. Then it just hour and half or more of boring

And your watching the wrong motorsport if you're concerned about ticket price. Miami is the cheapest of the 3 US races. And lowest prices tickets are still more than our rent. Not including the costs to travel, food, and boarding.

I can't watch Nascar like I use too. Because we cut live TV completely the racing season finished last year. The only anyone in the house was using in for was racing. Didn't make sense to keep paying the live TV prices just for that. Then there is they're new TV deal that has the schedule split into 4 different providers. One of then ended being Amazon. With those races and few others that both cable and streaming. Anyways that 6 weeks run Amazon Nascar coverage was the best coverage Nascar has had in a long time. I hope the get the full season next contract.

For you I recommend switching to sports car racing. It's in a good place right now with Hypercar and GT3 programs. IMSA is on both cable and streaming.

Dude, it's not about the way the track looks it's about seeing the cars perform. DRS creates a lot of passing but it isn't quality passing, it's just cars swapping position, you can have it, that ain't racing. If you can't appreciate proper racing you clearly don't understand F1. What is greater than seeing an F1 car take on the S's at Suzuka or Becketts, Copse, and Stowe at Silverstone? Nothing changes direction like an F1 car, you wouldn't ever know that if all races were on boring street courses. I will take less artificial DRS passing all day long to be afforded the privilege of seeing an F1 car perform at its maximum capabilities on a "proper circuit" any day of the week. You don't need passing every lap to see a great race. Just seeing one driver hold position over another for 10 laps can be more exciting than a pass if you know what you are seeing.

Are you kidding me. So you don't care if the cars can actually pass each other. You can just watch qualifying for all out performance. I'm not interested in paying those ticket prices to watch the cars finish where they started. And there's no way they can pass at Suzuka without some kind aid or mistake by the driver in front. Suzuka becomes nearly impossible to pass well before a Formula 1s performance. Granted Formula 1 racing at Suzuka says a lot on how difficult of a track it is. When even the consider best drivers in the world find it difficult to stay on track.

As of the DRS system I much prefer IndyCar's artificial passing solution for road courses Push To Pass. Because gives a lot more control to the drivers for when and how to use.

DRS and P2P are not passing, it's made up BS to fool the fans into thinking there are real passes. Plenty of passes happen at Suzuka, it just takes hard work from the driver behind to chase the front guy and wait on a mistake, it happens every single race.

The reason passing is difficult isn't track dependent anyhow (except Monaco) its aero dependent. The car in front has the advantage because he is in clean air and the car behind is overheating and taking life out of his tires because he is losing aero grip even if he is the faster car. This has been a problem for a long time in F1, NASCAR too.

Yes DRS and P2P are artificial passing aids. Nascar takes a different route and use a special chemical treatments on some the track's to create more passing opportunities by making a wider racing groove. It's all done to keep fans entertained. Since the income from the fans helps pay bills.

What kind of drugs are you on. The track design, surface type, and the local environment absolutely effect your ability to pass. Aero dynamics and pace just amplifies the difficulty. If track design didn't matter. Why doesn't every race track look the same. Passing has also become more difficult in modern racing because is pushing for spec or near cars. All the cars being the same or near the same takes advantage and disadvantages as tools to ad passing.

Really, does this need to be spelled out for you? Passing is difficult because when they lap within a couple of tenths of each other they can't take an alternative line and still be faster than the car they are trying to pass. Throw in the aero effects and the a faster car can be running second and not be able to match the lap times of the car in front even though he may have been making up a half second a lap before he got within a few car lengths. I have not paid much attention to NASCAR since they lost the plot but the new favorite catchphrase is clean air. NASCAR also gave us a glimpse of how popular street courses were after abandoning the Chicago streets after 1 year was it? Is NASCAR going to try a street course somewhere else? All of this also governs why NASCAR has trouble passing, tires last too long. It used to be teams had to decide on taking 4 tires for pace or 2 tires to sacrifice pace but gain track position, that seems to have disappeared, tires last too long. As long as tracks don't have a lot of Tilke features like a jink before a turn drivers seem to find ways to pass. Do you really think the only reason tracks are not all identical is to try to create passing, thats utterly ridiculous. One of the reasons tracks differ and its probably the main reason is to challenge drivers and to a lesser extent engineers.

Hey your the one that stated in a previous post that track design doesn't effect passing. And it's all aero washout. Nascar's race today at Martinsville is all the proof needed that's not true. There's no aero washout here. The turns are way too slow for that too be problem. I have watched damage cars win races here.

Both track and car designs effects passing along environmental factors. And no if being able to passing was a priority. There won't be tracks make it more difficult.

Nascar usually does a 3 race minimum deal for race contacts. This year was the last year for the Chicago street course. There's was a lot of shady dealings with mayor agreed to that race. So I knew it wouldn't a long time venue. It's being replaced by returning to Chicagoland Speedway and a street race at military base in San Diego.

Hey guys today is 5 days until Corvette Festival Week 5 Corvette International and 12 days until Corvette Festival Week 6 Corvette Present and Future.

Let's leave the primary focus on upcoming Week 5 for now. Wet weather conditions is possible for 2 of the 3 races this. It not rain at Monza but, apparently does at Fuji and Spa-Francorchamps. Chance of rain random is up too Gran Turismo. You'll be on sports tires so pitting for wets is not necessary. However after trialing both cars in wet in short wet conditions races yesterday. I feel I must warn the C7 Stingray is not good in the wet. If of water start falling for the sky for that race. You may want to turn on Traction Control. Especially if it's heavy. Good Luck!

Not sure if I will be racing this weekend, broke a bone in my brake foot, I will have to see if I can drive well

Ouch, what happened? Luckily I have never broken a bone. But judging by other people's experiences. I'm perfectly fine missing out on that experience. I did try to break my left pinky toe. It hurt for a few days afterwards but eventually the pain went away. I think that was last year.

Well you have 3 days to try to adopt a controller. All 3 tracks have heavy braking zones especially Monza.

Currently you have 9 starts. Fourteen is considered a full season. So you need only 5 starts in the next weeks 3. After 14 starts you can only earn points by besting a previous score and you'll only earn what you bet that previous score by.

Did it pushing a car in at work. 3 of us were pushing a car in and all of sudden my foot got kinda sore then about 5 minutes later it got extremely sore and swollen up big. My shoes don't fit, I had to undo laces at the top then loosen up at the bottom. I had the same thing happen about 10 years ago but I was bouncing on a pipe to bend it a little. Went to the Dr 3 times and they kept saying it was a sprain, 2 months later they sent me to an orthopedic surgeon who did an MRI and they found a small broken bone, it's the same one again. I've had broken/bruised ribs a few times and a broken toe once, it turned purple, almost the whole thing. I accidentally kicked a chair walking thru an unfamiliar kitchen at night with no lights on. Who puts a chair right there?????

Reading my own posts aways reminds me why I should never try to write a book.
Apparently I never actually explained what I to my toe. Short answer I ended up stabbing my left pinky toe on a metal table leg. Hurt like heck and my nail on that toe got messed up. It didn't swell up, but I don't think I broke it since I could put weight on it. The toe itself hurt for a few days. The pain of the toe nail hurt long, and has never fully recovered. The way it grows now it catches easily on socks when I put them, and frequently tears holes in them.

That's okay maybe I never broken any bones yet, but I plenty of internal health issues to deal with. Including learned in June I have stage 3 liver disease. I don't drink alcohol so we're not entirely sure what caused it. I'm now on a new medication that's supposed to help prevent it from progressing and maybe reverse it slightly. After fighting with the health insurance company for approval for the medication first of course. But I never fully reverse the damage, and I may have a shorter lifespan now.

[Cold Warrior]

Only 1 day remaining until Corvette Festival Week 5 and the start of a 3 week stretch league activities. Week 5 is a tour of historic world class international race tracks that the Corvette has raced at. All 3 races will require a pit stop in dry conditions. A no stop may be possible for 1st race at Fuji with the C7 Stingray in heavy wet conditions. You can save a lot of fuel when short shifting with C7 Stingray. Short shifting is not as effective for the C8 and it's a bit thirstier.

Only 5 days until Corvette Festival Week 6 Present and Future. First of all I just found another mistake. Weather is a maybe not a no. This race for the CX.R at Le Mans will be random chance. Make sure you buy wets. Anyways Week 6 is a celebration of the Corvette's current state. Along with it's possible future duration. Since in case anyone else didn't notice. Only the race car version of the new Corvette Concepts is considered a VGT.

It's also only 12 days until Corvette Festival Week 7 Corvette Open. I did something special for the final week of the Corvette Festival. Week 7 will be a nearly rule free Corvette tuning challenge. Any Corvette model may be used. Except for new CX and CX.R Concepts. You knew why. Also the only limit for tuning is regarding engine swaps. Engine swaps are allowed, but the new engine must be A CORVETTE ENGINE. It doesn't have to be the original engine. So no the C6 with a Chiron engine is not allowed.

I'm sure the last week will be all tuned (medium turbo) GR3 Corvettes. There could be an odd ball that is fast at SSRX, everyone will be looking

For anyone who needs it. Or if someone wants another one. The Porsche 962C '88 is available for purchase again for now 1,250,000 Cr. I will be hosting a non championship one-make special for the 962C in December at the Nurburgring. In other news, I now have 6 Porsche 962Cs, and I can't cover every historic livery for this car.

From testing I'm not entirely sure if will that simple. The Gr.3 Corvette best advantage is it's range. Some of the newer Corvettes at max tune can beat the Gr.3 car on track because they have a lot more straightaway speed. Also I did not any car with engine swaps I only tuned all the road cars with their stock engine. That leaves a variable I really don't know.

Willow Springs The Streets Of Willow Springs Reverse: I tried my best with the track selection to make sure the same car can't win all 3 races. Including picking a track layout rarely used. The Streets Of Willow Springs Reverse or Counterclockwise. The Streets Of Willow Springs is a bi-directional in real life. There videos for races being held in either direction. Anyways tuning 1000 hp rwd cars for this track should present a real challenge. I also chose the reverse track because allows a little better passing opportunities at this performance. And the grid start into the skid pad should eventful. I'll be amazed if everyone makes it through without damage. This one definitely the best race for the Gr.3 Corvette but, I didn't feel it was unbeatable.

Special Stage Route X: A race of top speed and fuel mileage. This was picked as a reference to the old Like The Wind events for Gran Turismo's past Corvette Edition. Along with ensuring that the Gr.3 Corvette can't win all 3 races. Even with it's fuel range. Which I'm entirely sure it will even require pit stop for this race. The Gr.3 Corvette does not have the straightaway speed to win this race even with it's fuel range. I already have my car picked this race.

Grand Valley Highway 1: The site of Gran Turismo's first endurance race. This classic has numerous tuning challenges though it's history in Gran Turismo. It's great poetic end to league. This race will require a bit of everything. Corning, straightaway speed, and range. The Gr.3 car may have the range advantage here but, it is not the fastest car on track.

You could just make it easy on me and tell me which car is best for each race.

You could just make it easy on me and tell me which car is best for each race.

First of all I'm still a competitor. And second as I stated I don't really know for sure. I did not try any car with engine swap. So my choice for Special Stage Route X might not be the best choice either. And I'm still undecided for both race 1 and 3.

Your always bragging about having multiples for each car and more credits than you know what to do with. Sounds like you have some work to do.
