#

who was that talking about getting F1 sounds at full volume?

#

i have a video where i was standing 6' behind a 917 while it was being warmed up... used my decent mic what a sound !!!

#

at the last rennsport reunion i went to in '15

#

yep that's the real deal

#

such an angry idle!

#

nothing is finer than the sound of a 12. nothing.

#

'cept maybe my 24v VR6 but I might be biased

rustic helm
#

Isn't it a flat-6?

calm field
#

Powered by the Type 912 flat-12 engine of 4.5, 4.9, or 5 litres, the 917/30 Can-Am variant was capable of a 0-62 mph (100 km/h) time of 2.3 seconds, 0–124 mph (200 km/h) in 5.3 seconds. The long tail Langheck version had a maximum measured top speed of 362 km/h (225 mph)

#

those numbers are insane for today, let alone 50y ago!

rustic helm
#

ah true, thought they ran a flat-6 for the 917, explains why it sounded so massive when i saw one in person

calm field
#

yep. at rennsport there was a fleet of them

that event is always over the top

this paintwork was done by Lancia at the factory by hand and this car was gifted to Jody

a friend who is a lancia collector found out about it in a warehouse in LA and now it's his

#

okiedoke. motogp or sbk. let's see what i can find that was shot on film originally.

#

by the time I was peaking out shooting film I had a Nikon F3 with a motor drive and a 500mm reflex lens

#

so I could get some pretty decent shots but with manual focus, I had to plan ahead

#

that's when i was fat and had long hair

#

so that group of photos is AMA at Sears Point / Infineon / Sonoma - you can see how much the circuit has changed

#

@tight garnet - shown!

one of the other fun things about bike week in monterey is going down to cannery for the cruise. you never know what you'll see...

#

these are 2 stroke GP bikes basically for the street

#

not quite legal on the roads here in california

#

i actually went in that sea of bikes that time...

#

b/c we rode in that year I didn't take all my good camera gear

#

that's the end of the film era. in 01 i was using a lil digital point n shoot

#

i didn't attend bike races until I was older. motos were taboo in my household.

#

i have pics from the 1982 usgp in long beach

#

those were on film, too

#

all i had was a 50mm lens

so these are hella cropped

that was also an interesting race because mario andretti came out of retirement to fill in for...

they made a big deal out of it

when the race ended, my dad said "grab the cooler! follow me!"

i was a huge gilles fan

he got these 3 pix

that's me

#

so this was april 4th 82

#

a month later he was dead

#

he was disqualified from his points for that race at long beach because that wing was too wide per the rules

it was a last minute change it was made from 2 fronts

here's the qualifying wing

here's someone's great pic of the twin wing

Clay is a type of fine-grained natural soil material that contains hydrous aluminium phyllosilicates that develops plasticity when wet.

9 wins in a row for Senna, and he only barely won the title against Brundle

fallen sparrow
#

bruh

#

i guess Brundle's 9 2nd places in a row (other than a 3rd place) really did him well compared to Senna's 5 DNF's and one DNS

#

while brundle boi only had one DNF

rustic helm
#

yeah

fallen sparrow
#

must be cool to be brundle and say "I almost beat Senna to the title"

rustic helm
#

Senna doing this all his career it seems

#

either spectacular results like wins, or DNFs

fallen sparrow
#

ye

#

Brundle said that during his racing against Senna before F1, that Senna would put himself in positions where he'd DNF if another driver did not get out of the way

rustic helm
#

really a shame Brundle only had 1 season in a front running team in his career imo

fallen sparrow
#

so I assume that's why Senna DNF'd a few times, and also why both of them retired from the same race

rustic helm
#

maybe they collided at Oulton Park yes

fallen sparrow
#

yeah

rustic helm
#

bruh

#

Ayrton was such an ass lol

thin pecan
#

Brundle was very unlucky to not have a great career f1 all thanks to his crash in Dallas 84

#

but i think he alaways said he could show his talent and ability in the world sports car championship

what about his crash in Dallas

it broke his ankles and feet leaving him without the ability to left foot brake

This post was made by French gang where you have 20 variations of saying each word

The way not to butcher names is to pronounce them similar to their original language

That american commentator is doing the complete opposite

needless to say, the /5 was more elegant

yep

whereas this was just an modified MP4/4 made to accomodate the new V10 engine instead of the old V6 turbos that were going to be banned after 1988

wonder if Honda shouldn't have stuck to the V10 for 1991 and 1992

probably would have been a better idea

depends if they would have entered IndyCar still though

looks like 91 or 92

definitely not earlier

they have the airboxes at the top so

gotta be 92 then

couple liveries look too wrong to be 91

1991 cars are the sexiest to me

after, they started to get better functioning but worse looking

89-90 they didn't really know how to make their cars look still i agree

and the 91 liveries are also pretty good ngl

wait hang on

#

i though prost had bought the team by then

buoyant nebula
#

they did, but not before Ligier launched their car as the JS45

#

and after Prost bought the team, they used the Ligier-designed car anyway as they couldn't design their own car at such short notice (the buyout took place in February 1997)

thin pecan
#

oh right

#

i wondered why Flavio was there

buoyant nebula
#

he still owned the team then

thin pecan
#

yes ik he owned it

#

bought it in 94

buoyant nebula
#

Stewart though, tmw you reveal your new car before the new year even started

#

and yep

thin pecan
#

and a share in minardi as well

buoyant nebula
#

ah yeah

thin pecan
#

the other thing he bought was mechacrome i think

#

or at least he was a part of it

#

might still be

buoyant nebula
#

his company signed a distribution agreement with them for 1999 in 1998, so that might be what you mean

#

Mecachrome was then renamed into Supertec after that

thin pecan
#

they supply for F2

#

GP2 before that which he helped set up

buoyant nebula
#

yep

thin pecan
#

"From 1998 to 2000, he led the company Supertec, supplying Mecachrome-built Renault engines to Williams and BAR in 1999, Arrows in 2000, and under the brand name "Playlife" for Benetton in both 1999 and 2000."

#

Flavio is a great guy

buoyant nebula
#

yeah, unless things involve, uh, making his 2nd driver crash so that his team's leading driver could win the race

#

anyway

#

the Benetton B197 in its' launch livery, gotta love launch liveries that end up never being used during the season

#

apologies for the Alamy watermarks, couldn't find a non-watermarked version

spring finch
#

That honestly looks better than what they raced

buoyant nebula
#

kinda, though I don't like how the United Colors of Benetton logo doesn't cover the whole sidepod, which is why the FedEx logo fit the livery better imo

I can’t believe they disqualified michael schumacher in 1997 for going off track in the final race

#

my favorite conspiracy is that Senna got DSQ'ed because Flavio paid the FIA to bonk him off just so Benetton can get their first win since 86

#

which is untrue but it sounds something that could be true because of Flavio Briatore

#

the crash was piquets initial idea but ok

flavio isn't someone he is made out to be though

he wouldn't do anything like that

he said it's a conspiracy

#

and Flavio was quite new in 89 to the sports

zenith tundra

and he was working for benetton at that time

so it's a bit of a conspiracy but mostly a joke 😛
