>Ex-HRT and Lotus driver Karun Chandhok has been named as 'technical analyst', with former Williams development driver Susie Wolff and nine-time Grand Prix winner Mark Webber also taking on 'expert analyst' roles along with Coulthard.

lol what a team

>>37750

I don't think that would be the case. They should at least be on par with Sauber with the engine. The package overall looks very neat, if you have a look at their diffuser, they have a very highly developed one specially for a new team and Manor who have been around for a while and more or less had a year to develop their current car don't have that.

Their car does look SF15-Tish and that was a race winner. On paper that should have a podium in it this year and to get Grosjean as a driver is a miracle for them which brings the package together.

>>37763

yeahbut that is if they can keep all their bits in working order, which probably won't happen until may

>>37761

between them they cover every kind of start:

-at the back

-terrible

-not at all

>>37762

Webber is an excellent appointment.

>Wolff

Useless

>Chandok, Senna, N.HAM

Unnecessary

>Prost

alright

>Zanardi

good

DC and BE I don't mind at all.

Murray…as long as it is in a limited role.

>>37764

yes, that is their main target to work on. Make the team gel together and that can only happen at race weekends.

well, just booked flights and accommodation, so looks like i'm definitely going to the melbourne gp

on my own

pray for memes

>>37769

Grandstand seat?

or GA with the bogans?

>>37767

>Chandok, Senna, N.HAM

>Unnecessary

but chandhok brings his vast experience at utter suck in multiple series

and nic brings his vast experience of being lewisha's brother

>no gow

cuckston is probably on the phone to his nbc overlords right now trying to land her a position under him

and I just realized

>Senna

means we don't get him for the sky free practices, which means we have to suffer more of ant D

>tfw can't remember to make all points in one post

>>37770

buying tickets tomorrow when i get payed, but likely just GA with the other plebs. have been a couple times, but only ever GA, seemed fine

>>37774

Well, as long as you know :^)

>>37772

>and I just realized

That's actually the most interesting part.

>kubica to do endurance race

>The Mugello 12 Hours, which takes place on March 18-19,

good scheduling, bravo

>>37776

it's going to be all mcnish and ant with crofty reading the regulation book

>>37778

>mcnish

Oh god no.

He annoys me more than Ant.

At least you can hate Ant for entertainment value, McNish is just boring as fuck.

>>37780

Ewww… why does the motor sound all crisp and aggressive?

An F1 car is meant to sound like a vacuum cleaner with a full bag.

>>37781

Spa is a beautiful lap to watch. I hope we get one in the near future with a b8 and no halo

>>37782

v8*

>>37781

They'd sound a lot meaner if they ditched the fuel limitations and allowed for more engine configs.

>>37785

>if they ditched the fuel limitations

Don't even need to do that.

Just limit the boost to force them to run more revs before they hit the fuel limit.

>>37785

>more engine configs.

Or just anything other than a V6

>literally the worst sounding layout

how jealous are you faggots that I will be attending the Pikes PeaK International Hill Climb this year by simply walking out of my door? Yeah, I bet you could do that.

>>37787

>1 hour drive and I can do the Col de Turini special stage like a WRC driver

not much tbh :^)

>>37788

nice

>>37788

french mountains are pretty small though ;D

>>37790

Yeah nothing like PPHC. btw can you drive on it ?

>>37791

I did it when I was a teen just joking around. Me and my friends used to drive on it before it was all gravel.

During that day I was pretty good.

>>37792

>used to drive on it before it was all gravel

So when it was trees? :^)

>40 minutes away from the Lankamaa special stage

>100 minute drive away from Ouninpohja.

>30 minutes away from Ruuhimäki

Feels good mang.

>>37793

we used to listen to the cars during testing, we would here them echo in the canyon that I lived in.

>>37796

nah we just enjoyed the flora as is,

we rode it like the gravel

Anyways, I have driven up Pikes Peak a few times, you have to pay a toll (lol). It's a pretty fun ride, you can rally a bit but there are a bunch of asshole slow tourists that are riding on the same road. It sucks.

>>37794

neat

>>37801

why did you post a picture of the tomb of akbar the great

>>37803

Who else other than Hulk oppose the Halo?

>>37804

just hamilton and palmer afaik

Looks like HAM going super aggressive on the tyre front.

ROS, VET, KIMI thinking on the same lines.

http://www.formula1.com/content/fom-website/en/latest/headlines/2016/3/pirelli-reveal-driver-tyre-choices-for-australia.html

>>37806

>Manor with only enough Supersofts for practice and Q1

To give them credit they are probably still the slowest team and had no reason to think otherwise when they made the selection

>>37806

Tyres reserved for the Race: 1 set of Mediums, 1 set of Softs

so they're relying on Rosbergs tyre data on the Mediums in practice for Hamilton in the race (if they're even gonna use them)

>Renault and McLaren aren't even testing the Mediums in practice

>>37809

i read the rules again and i think they can still use the mediums in practice and then use the same set in the race

>>37769

Lol gl see if you can smuggle a "bring back 3 liters" sign

>>37786

V6 is literally only good for packaging, its exhaust scavenging is shit. Ferrari made the most power in the 80s by illegally using the turbo as a second motor (injecting fuel such that it is a jet engine).

>>37803

How is it that we live in an era so cucky and derivative that more people support this shit than not.

missed this one

>>37813

Injecting fuel to the turbo itself is more like a crude anti-lag measure than anything else.

>>37815

You get faster exhaust scavenging and consistently higher boost, so it does have anti lag purposes, but it was also the primary reason they had a (sometime) edge on power and dire fuel efficiency.

>>37821

>we get murray walker back

>but pretty much everyone else is a toolish diversity quota satisfying shit

I actually read an article that said something like "there may be complaints as there are only two women"

>>37823

a black cripple probably gets you more diversity points than an extra woman

>>37823

To be 'fair' (I really don't want to be) that would be drop of women.

Susie is not going to every race and Suzi Perry & Jennie Gow are not part of the lineup anymore.

Lee, DC, Jones (Humphrey Mk 2.0) and Edwards are the only ones going to every race.

Also Murray is just continuing what he did on the BBC. A small segment talking about old races and drivers. He did this with Suzi Perry for every race last year.

>>37826

Again another to be 'fair' (I really don't like this) when Nic was on the sky F1 show he did sort of try to be a little balanced about Lewis.

But they will almost certainly pay him extra to back him up and then ask him questions like "So what actually is in Lewis' head right now?"

Also it allows them to to connect with their comedy show the last leg hosted by a cripple Australian.

>>37827

>Again another to be 'fair' (I really don't like this) when Nic was on the sky F1 show he did sort of try to be a little balanced about Lewis.

>But they will almost certainly pay him extra to back him up and then ask him questions like "So what actually is in Lewis' head right now?"

Regardless of how "fair and balanced" Nic is, he's still only there (and is employed in motorsport in ANY capacity) because he is Hamilton's brother. So fuck him.

>>37828

Oh yeah definitely.

I don't agree with anything C4 has done.

They are going to try to appeal to the younger viewers that C4 has.

They are going to try and link it in heavily with celebs for said younger viewers.

They are going to link with their other shows which are mostly shit ('8 out of 10 cats does Countdown' being the exception and like 75% of that is down to Rachel Riley)

They filled up with presenters and tried to breakout from the perfectly fine format of 2 experts with a presenter and technical staff around them.

Used the Chain when they should have made their own theme.

Gonna have ads during build so no more nice long uninterrupted top quality pre race segments that the Beeb did (Lee/Verstappen, Button/Rallycross, Kvyat being a bookworm)

It's going to be shit outside of the actually commentary (DC/Edwards being a great combo) which is sad because Sky is already shit.

>>37830

there's also quite a lot of racing this weekend

>>37830

Give me one good reason why you won't be there, Australia.

>>37832

Because I have a vacuum cleaner at home I can listen to for free.

>>37833

the sounds isn't all of the joy. You have to take in the visuals as well.

>>37834

goddamn i'm drunk

>>37836

watching a fast car go around an apex is visually pleasing to me, regardless of the car's structure.

I love watching autocross cars go around cones, even shitty riceburners, I think it's neat.

>>37838

agree with the burger, also the general atmosphere/drama etc

>>37813

what's the most meme-worthy sign i could try and get on to the broadcast i wonder

suzi perry back to motogp where she belongs

>>37842

something showing your support of tractors

>>37843

motogp is awesome.

The ebin battle between Rossi and Marquez last year was great. Will be watching this season.

t. MotoGP fan

>Vijay Mallya on the run

>>37844

at least they finally toned down the electronics somewhat. another example of motorsport impacted for sake of technology transfer with some stuff street bikes absolutely need but which should not be in racing like the adaptive TC

>>37845

we always knew it would end this way

>>37846

It's hard for the Jew- I mean people to control motorbikes.

The "safer" they get, the faster they can take a corner. It only makes it more dangerous in the long run.

Nah it's a japanese plot to sell us bikes.

red bull pussy cage confirmed as pussy bubble:

>“I really like Red Bull's jet fighter concept,” [Claire] Williams said. “If we are going for these new racing cars that are supposed to look futuristic, put a jet fighter type thing around it. I think that is exciting. But then you have to worry about water and condensation and all that kind of stuff. It is still a work in progress.

>“I think it is really early stages. I have obviously seen both proposals.

claire is suck a qt but she really needs some sense fucked into her by me

>>37852

Something else they better use from jet fighters is active aerodynamics, that shit would be cool as fuck.

drs doesn't count

>>37842

>what's the most meme-worthy sign i could try and get on to the broadcast i wonder

something about the pussy cage

>>37846

>another example of motorsport impacted for sake of technology transfer

more than anything it's the appearance, or idea of tech transfer that does it not the actual fact.

>>37847

>It's hard for the Jew- I mean people to control motorbikes.

http://www.jewishmotorcyclistsalliance.org/

t. google

>>37848

I believe it. They'd get much farther if they made standard bikes (like the Universal Japanese Motorcycle and "you meet the nicest people on a honda" epochs). The fact is on the U.S. Market you can get a cruiser with the handlebars in your face, and you can get a sport bike wide as a bull that has plastic fantastic bodywork and bulges galore for squids that have penis envy.

>>37851

I want these tracks to stay in the past if the alternative means them being permanently tilke-d

>New bill aims to place competition vehicles out of EPA’s reach

good start, but really they should just disband the EPA.

Coase theorems are Econ-101, the politicians would have to have tried to avoid them in order to not know them.

>>37857

Well, it's one way for FIA to find their magical 4 seconds. Also how will it ruin the racing when it could potentially allow for better cornering grip thus making room for more aggressive overtaking maneuvers?

There's tonnes of potential in it

But I guess you'd like to return to pre 68' when it was just man and machine.

>>37859

the FIA could find their magical four seconds in innumerable ways. Going back to the original width with better tires and removed rev, and fuel limits on the engines alone would even do that.

Active (read:computer controlled) aero is only going to make a disaster of flaps and winglets that will reduce the role of the driver.

just as they did with ERS, men on a computer will map out when to use what, and it will be nearly completely automated.

It will ruin the racing by making the driver's individual input more irrelevant (thus racing will be processional even more so because the car's pace will be determined in the factory, not on the track). There will be reduced room for driver error and thus less variability.

Active aero can and will be used in a defensive fashion (reduce aero efficiency in favor of higher angle of attack on wings in order to make disruptive airflow for an overtaking car).

To say that I'd like to take things back to 1968 is a massive mischaracterization of my point.

Technology is not evil, automation of driver input is anathema to the sport though.

A wing that bends to produce less drag at high speed might even be acceptable, but a computer controlled set of wings that has variable settings, controlled in an automated fashion is both against the spirit of the sport and going to produce crap racing.

>>37860

Seems like you took my point to the extreme as well.

Aside from having DRS I was thinking you would have wings that gave extra downforce for cornering and have aero brakes so you could brake later, more efficiently and more aggressively. It could work automatically or by some sort of fly-by-wire system.

I still think it's a cool idea and I think it's a shame that area is still pretty much unexplored

>because the car's pace will be determined in the factory, not on the track

but that's how it's always been

The pace of the car is determined on how it was designed/built in the factory. no?

>>37860

>>37861

Modern super cars already have it so it just feels kinda uncharacteristic of the sport for not pioneering it.

>>37860

>and removed rev, and fuel limits on the engines

Fuel limit is the bigger problem.

They're only using around 11500rpm of the 15000rpm allowed because the fuel flow limit makes them start to lean out over 11000rpm.

But as far as more power for lowering lap times goes, I don't think it will help.

Case in point is Monza. Despite pushing 900hp, which is a figure comparable to the V10 era, they're way down on top speed on the pit straight.

Why? Because they're so slow through the parabolica that by the time they reach the big aero V10 car's exit speed, they've wasted a 1/3 of the straight.

>>37865

I'm not. All it does is attract disgusting normies.

>>37865

are those both last years models

>>37865

What's upsetting is how blurry the taytay picture is compared to how crisp the lewlew one is.

my favorite part is how the FIA kept saying "the teams asked for this" and it turned out that what actually happened is that whiting asked a few autists at mclaren what they thought the most exciting part of the race was, and they said "the start"

and somehow in whiting's addled fucking mind that meant standing restarts.

Indycar race promoters keep losing money on every new race they have, this is clearly why hulman and co aren't bankrupt. The real question is why promoters keep showing up to lose money.

>Rossi has never raced on an oval track, never driven an Indy car and hasn’t competed in the U.S. since capturing the 2008 Formula BMW championship (winning 10 of 16 races).

>“He’s clueless (about IndyCar),” Andretti said. “He didn’t even know what a weight jacker was.”

Okay I'll admit watching Rossi fail miserably might be pretty funny.

>>37962

Because most people with money seem to want to lose it

Will anyone else be watching motoGP? The shitfest between Rossi and Marquez last year was fucking epic.

>>37963

>He only met Marco Andretti last week, and he doesn’t know Hunter-Reay or Munoz. His list of IndyCar acquaintances is limited to Daly and his roommate, James Hinchcliffe – they watched Sunday’s Daytona 500 together – along with Chilton, Josef Newgarden and Luca Filippi.

That sounds like it has to be super awkward.

Rossi is creating some hilarious levels of salt though

http://racereviewonline.com/with-recent-alexander-rossi-news-hes-quickly-becoming-indycar-rival-role/

>He slaps them all in the face then spits on them by signing a “reserve” role with a team that couldn’t hold their weight against the back marker IndyCar teams. The flat disrespect that Rossi is showing the Verizon IndyCar Series is honestly insulting.

I'm glad I will never be this delusional.

>>37979

Mad Max doesn't have a lot of say in the matter but Toro Rosso has a better PU and possibly a better chassis at the moment so the main team could be a step down.

>2013 Red Bull WCC

>2014 2nd w/ 3 wins

>2015 4th, no wins

I know this is very tied to the Renault PU but it's doubtful that Red Bull can get a works deal or engine parity with Mercedes/Ferrari. They better pray the Renault engine improves and their 2017 chassis is a beast.

It's not really about racing, it's just crowd entertainment.

Also, I really can't wait until one vaults the fence and lands in the crowd.

>>38010

>passenger in the green truck

Told you it wasn't racing.

>meme category is meme

>the firestone experience

>>38020

>mexico not even here for mexico F-E tomorrow

>IndyCar commentators talking about "fans"

The plural is pushing it.

>Chilton in the top 10

tfw even the gene pool of the inbred hillbilly Nascar fanbase is deeper than your series talent pool

>Helio: "St Pete is BECOMING a fantastic weekend"

They've been doing this event for over 10 years, and only now they've got their shit together enough for it to be a good event?

>IndyCar

>>38030

He could have made such a pretty trap

i wonder if they will extend the session or just call it off entirely

>i delayed making tacos for this

>>38032

>not making them beforehand so you had /snacks/ for the session

>>38033

>not edging your taco consumption

>green flag at approx. 12:52 p.m.

that approx is because of the prayers

>doing it under ubiquitous sunshine

someone sent him a word of the day desk calendar

>>38037

Managed to completely forget about that

Also sweet only Formula E practise overlaps with the football.

>tfw only 2pts out of a possible previous 30

It's been tough justifying a season ticket.

>"the body language you can here in his voice"

Right…

>fucking derp

>"world series by ra-know"

>murica

>being named Brian Herta

These commentators have mentioned "da fife hunnrad" about 15 fucking times already.

This series is a one trick pony, and they know it.

dis nigga srs?

did that commentator say he likes cottage cheese with his burgers

was half listening to the steak n'shake rambling

>>38058

do they have cottage cheese in Ausland

>>38059

Yes. But it's not orange.

Do they pay these commentators by the minute or something?

>red flag = commentators go on a break

>session over = commentators sign off before the inlap is even complete

Meanwhile this is on the "Indianapolis Motorspeedway Radio Network", it's not like someone is rushing them to get off air for other programming.

>>38061

>the only time I eat processed cheese is on burgers

So you eat a lot of processed cheese then :^)

>>38063

I can't pinpoint the exact date of the last time I had a burger but I probably only have 'em once a month, and even then it's probably some restaurant burger with cheddar or swiss on it. for grilling I definitely prefer my cheese to be square however.

but that guy made me hungry for a burger though, no joke

>>38065

I haven't had a burger since I moved.

The local supermarket near my old place sold these fucking awesome burger patties, that seemed to have some of the spice they put in breakfast sausage patties. They were so fucking good.

>tfw got that burger

hit the spot

>Stalls it

Good job

>>38074

I think it is the F1/87 that won the first race at Suzuka

Apparently this stream will just continue throughout the day with various stuff happening.

The tyrrell 019 is meant to come out at some point and Alesi and his son are there to drive.

>>38014

>>38086

No wait, Alesi Sr in Ferrari
