Yep. I've actually read reviews where people complained they had children running around on the balcony past their room while they were trying to sleep.

It's so fucking retarded.

Some friends and I were actually going to pool in our cash and get a room for the 1000 one year, and then we found out about the balcony.

Having to share with random plebs defeats the entire fucking purpose of paying big money for your exclusive spot.

What pisses me off the most, is it's meant to be a purebred supercar, and it's compromised for no good fucking reason.

is that a MARC car cocking them?

>>40134

Why would you make a full spaceframe racecar, then put a fake Mazda fucking 3 body on it?

You can make it look like anything you want, and you make it look like an economy car grocery getter.

WHY?

No idea. Maybe they're referring to a car from the 6 hour field.

>>40174

Really common here

>CPS window

did they explain the pitting situation while i was away

>>40176

From what I know, the window wasn't open during the safety car, and I think there is a time limit on how fast a stop can be because some of the cars have the factory refueling setups.

>>40177

but they have a specified window and a specified # of stops? what happens if they have a problem like a tire and have to come in when it's not CPS window, do they just eat the time?

>>40178

No idea.

Glad that race was on today.

My sleep schedule has been fucked all week, and I've been awake all night and sleeping during the day.

Kept me entertained enough that I didn't give in the to tired and go to bed.

>>40268

It looked scary, that's all your need to get people to click.

>>40268

I like how they take pains to point out

>Following the tragic accident involving Henry Surtees, […] the FIA updated the wheel tether requirement.

and

>The triangulation of these two [cockpit roll structure] points means the driver's helmet should never come into contact with the ground, should the car roll over.

but then in the pussy cage segment talk about 1) flying wheels and b) don't talk about how the proposed structure clearly resides outside of the clear space and if was not made as robust as the massive side impact structures it would fail into the driver area

>>40272

I'm not sure.

He only recently got that helmet back from the FIA who took it for analysis.

The right side of the hole seems too clean, like it has been cut.

>>40276

As much as I hate Ant he is true though. Minus the sausage kerb part.

>the las vegas of the east

That's some next level of trying too hard america. Like redditors shitposting, except with a different core narrative.

>>40279

No offense but I cringed about as hard as last time redditors apologized to some random fuck for making jokes about raping his sister

>tfw moto cunt killed a pro cyclist during a race in Belgium today

details are scarce but my impression is the cyclist was already in a crash and on the ground when one of the race motorcycles hit him. this has been an issue in the spotlight for a couple years now but it's finally happened after a lot of non-fatal incidents of riders being hit by motos. it'll be interesting to see what the powers that be in cycling do to react to this vs. F1's reaction (or lack thereof) to Bianchi's fatal crash. with cycling it's pretty easy to restrict the number of motorcycles in the convoy, but is it really that hard to just have stricter rules around tractor cunt being on the circuit in F1?

what I'm getting at is that there's a different level of acceptable risk in cycling vs. F1 right now and the extent to which the sports are cucked is going to vary dramatically.

>bonus reactionary video of moto cunt in action

>>40283

why do they still use big tour bikes anyway? the size of cameras and such seems they could use mopeds

>>40283

I appreciate it when people make interesting inquisitive posts like this.

Don't mistake lack of response for lack of interest.

this got me thinking.

>>40285

I'm sure there's some reason but the bikes are being outfitted with GPS this year and 'onboard' camera experiments are ongoing so that's a lot of the motos gone right there.

>>40286

I just figured everyone was asleep, glad to be of service

>>40332

>without monza

meant *with* monza obviously

meanwhile in haloland

>>40333

How long until this game gets banned?

>>40333

This is amazing. Like, the issue was with visibility in the corners so they fixed it, but ended up ruining visibility ahead.

>>40335

Side to side visibility has sucked since 1995 when they installed the "muh senna" toilet seats around the head (not the Hans device, the padding) and mandated the high sidepods that look like shit.

>>40317

Well memed!

>>40334

don't give 'them' any ideas

>>40335

eau rouge is the most glaring example of a corner that would be made dangerous by having a halo on the car, but I didn't realize someone actually simulated it. to be fair the visibility is crap with or without the halo like >>40336 is saying.

>>40339

A contender for >>40013 perhaps.

>>40340

Given that IndyCar almost went with the dildowing rather than than the IR-12, I would say a decade is being conservative

>>40339

>It will feature a Swift Engineering chassis originally designed for Japanese Formula Nippon, fitted with a locally developed 5.0 litre Ford Coyote based V8 engine.

Wait do they mean the old chassis when it was called Formula Nippon or do they mean the current Super Formula chassis?

Either way it's gonna be slower.

You can thank Jean Todt for shit tier qualifying making a second appearance in Bahrain

http://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/35930489

>Todt's motivation was harder to divine. The teams had agreed, in an emergency meeting on race morning in Australia with FIA F1 director Charlie Whiting, to revert to last season's qualifying format, after the new elimination process was proved to have major flaws.

>But that option was not on the table at the subsequent meeting of the F1 Commission, where formal agreement was needed to change the rules.

>Instead, the FIA - Todt - offered only two choices. These were to either stick with the elimination system, or to adopt a tweaked version of it, with only the final qualifying segment reverting to the 2015 format.

>This was not what had been committed to in Melbourne by the teams and Whiting - who Todt had now effectively overruled. So, unsurprisingly, the unanimity required for change was not forthcoming.

FUCK TODT

daily reminder

Nelson Piquet had a mechanical failure and hurtled into the wall so hard that afterwards his foot would no longer fit into his shoe and he lost some 80 percent of his depth perception such that his driving was never the same afterwards.

yet he tried to race the next day and sid watkins was a spoil sport.

Piquet got the last laugh though he won many more races after that and the championship that year.
