[tough isle]

This Saturday was amazing

After a Meh Q3 (Man Spain already had a meh race but)
I was just bouta change the channel but the broadcast suddenly changed from f1 to Monaco E Prix. Which was half way thru

It was a 30 min race left and I thought of giving a watch..
And oh man... What a Race it was?!

In 30 min,

Two Safety Cars

3 Leaders

6-7 Overtakes In the Top 3 (3 for lead) And several at the back

Race lead changed at the final lap

2 Place achieved by overtaking at the final straight with a gap of 0.2 sec at end

Top 10 Cars under 0.5% of battery at the last sector

WDC changed

Mercs not the dominant force anymore

WDC Leader (De Vries) was at the last position!

All this At MONACO!
That track at that time seemed to be some kinda dream f1 circuit.
The lead was took back by De Costa from Evans (if I spell right) At a chicane
(Yea at a chicane) at the end of famous tunnel.(track layout was changed only for that turn)
The move seems to be impossible remembering the Verstappen move on Hamilton back in 2019.Right?
Evans was on second but was out of battery by final turn and was 3rd as he lost by 0.2 sec as mentioned.

It was the first time me watching Fe and it was just wow
I don’t care about the sound until it’s true racing.... it wasn’t even that bad actually.
Also I don’t care about Fe being just on street circuits, if the Monaco Grand Prix can be so good.

Guys believe me... It could be a GREAT F1 supplement, The E Prixs being almost 2months apart and race days being on Saturdays.
Also the opportunity to be the part of a sport at its stage of being a pioneer in a field, is just awesome.

Just give a chance.

I'm happy Wickens is back in racing and starting to walk again

And I'm glad Indycar ditched Pocono now, the track is really shite for Oval racing in Indy

[sleek shuttle]

ok

Congrats @sleek shuttle, you're now on lap 5

[buoyant shale]

Does it even still host Nascar

[midnight kite]

Yes, sadly... in Jun 28 this year is the Pocono race for 2021

[buoyant shale]

I mean if it wouldn't host Nascar the track could basically be considered dead

Not having NASCAR or Indy at your large oval is essentially a death warrant

have they raced at mexico city

[buoyant shale]

During the CART years

I'd like Hermanos Rodriguez

[buoyant shale]

Yeah same

Also Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve

[midnight kite]

Charlotte Roval Infield

[lethal yacht]

People don't seem to be a fan but I like the idea

Daytona Road course

[buoyant shale]

That would be so cursed I would love it

[lethal yacht]

Which one?

[buoyant shale]

Daytona

[midnight kite]

Indy at Daytona is something that hasn't happened since the 60's

[lethal yacht]

I'd love em on the road course

[buoyant shale]

I would love Hermanos Rodriguez since it's by far the best track in Mexico for Indy, and the Pat O'Ward support

[lethal yacht]

But I think to even consider that, you'd have to allow the banking at IMS' road coursae

[lethal yacht]

https://youtu.be/gnI0vKcSjlc

[midnight kite]

That's just a test... but there's no official racing since the 60's

[lethal yacht]

I meant Ferrari had a Mondiali at Daytona so I just... Idk

[buoyant shale]

Indy isn't ready for expansion beyond North America I think

[midnight kite]

Well they have International broadcast with Sky Sports now

[lethal yacht]

Kenshi it's beside the point

They're not in a position right now to have international races... Tho we all can dream

[buoyant shale]

Even if they have a Sky contract the viewership is so tiny for such a series to move across the world every year

Like Mexico is at least a bit feasible

But Europe... Too big of a beast to take with such a tiny viewership

It would need a massive surge in popularity to make it possible

[lethal yacht]

Like with more Power, OH WAIT

[midnight kite]

Imagine, an Indy-F1 double header at COTA

[buoyant shale]

More willpower

[lethal yacht]

Gimmie the 2.4's

[buoyant shale]

Sadly wouldn't be feasible

For a reason you might not think about

Pit lane

IndyCar uses a different pitlane, more a Nascar one

[lethal yacht]

Sorry

This wasn't meant to come off that passive aggressive

[midnight kite]

Seeing the Menards name in that is cursed...

[lethal yacht]

Uhm, but yeah Red bull worked with a couple teams or so in the early-mid 2000's, but now they're more a series partner with the aeroscreen

[buoyant shale]

I really would like Red Bull in Indy

Well back ofc

[buoyant shale]

Super Formula as well

[midnight kite]

When is Indy gonna think of changing the car? From what sources say, They're only changing the look of the Aeroscreen in the future to fit the car's design

Which means (in terms of how you interpret it) that the DW-12 is gonna still live on

[buoyant shale]

Car is fine rn I think

[eternal ravine]

The only real change coming that we know so far is an introduction to a hybrid system

[midnight kite]

Quite weird to know the chassis is already 9 years old now

[buoyant shale]

Jesus that's old

They just added the aeroscreen

[midnight kite]

A lot of spec series changes the car's design after around 5 years running

[buoyant shale]

Tbh the car looks weird without one

[midnight kite]

But Indy is almost a decade old now with the car

[eternal ravine]

Seeing an open wheel car today without some sort of protection is like seeing somebody in public not wearing a mask

[midnight kite]

Damn... I have bad internet

[buoyant shale]

Imo not really, except for modern day series

[eternal ravine]

Well, yeah exactly.

Ofc it wont be weird if I am looking at older cars.

I am not going to look at a picture of a crowd from like 2010 and be like "omg they dont got mask and they are so close"

[midnight kite]

Slower Open wheels cars are ok since speed is one factor to a crash, but yeah, modern open wheel racing series without the cockpit safety devices like the halo and aero screen is really weird now

[lethal yacht]

For me it's not weird

But then again I prefer Open cockpits

[midnight kite]

I got used to seeing 2018 cars have the halo when it was introduced

[lethal yacht]

Or... More open ones

[buoyant shale]

When watching... Indy Pro 2000? It was weird that they didn't have a halo to me

Especially with the St Pete crash

[lethal yacht]

I like the Windscreens that come up to say Visor top height, same with the 2019 impact thingy

Like I'm slightly uncomfortable with frontal areas that're completely unbarred, but

[marble willow]

Cheever Racing?

[lethal yacht]

I have no clue

I can tell you it's definitely a Dallara tho, that's where I get my reference 😅

[marble willow]

I think it is Cheever Racing because IIRC when Tomas Scheckter won for Cheever Racing, Red Bull was used as a sponsor at the time

[lethal yacht]

I see

I don't have much interest for IRL beyond 2000

[marble willow]

The Panoz G-Force looks amazing in this paint scheme

[lethal yacht]

OH DEINITELY

[buoyant shale]

2000s CART IRL was... Weird

CART really was about to die

And you could just see it

[lethal yacht]

Eeeeeh...

After 2000, yeah

[buoyant shale]

Also as a Dutchman I didn't know that Champ Car had a race in the Netherlands for a long time

Now I know why I didn't know

It sucked

[marble willow]

cough cough DRIVEN cough cough

[lethal yacht]

Well I think from 1999-2001 it was a perfect storm

They lost their Engine changes too, which they really wanted to bank on but died when the body of CART died

[marble willow]

Bourdais just dominated everything from 2004-End of Champ Car

[lethal yacht]

I really gather the idea that the DP01 was gonna be developed for the new V10's they were going for

Tho idk if that was too much apart

[marble willow]

Firstly, did you say V10's? Secondly, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l99q8vj5z2Q

[lethal yacht]

In the CART review for 2002, there was a big emphasis that they were going to go to Naturally Aspirated V10's for 2005

And the grandfathering of Lola B02/00's up until that year was for that reason

But CART as a body died in 2003, Cosworth lost Ford bankrolling by being sold in 2004

[marble willow]

That seems very interesting

[lethal yacht]

You can see they kinda... Lost it, although saying that

Hearing an F1 V10 at an Oval is next level

[marble willow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBxw4whvBiA

[lethal yacht]

Yeah that

Also Cross-Planes... Hence loving IRL up until 2000... And that SuperMod at Homestead-Miami

[marble willow]

~~V10 SUPERMODS ~~

[lethal yacht]

I wonder what Champ Cars' actual spec would've been for the V10's doe

[lethal yacht]

Only way that's happening is with like... Actual full send V10's based on the Viper or something

[marble willow]

Eh i'm probably assuming that they would rev up to either the same rev range the V8's had, or maybe lower...

I also assume they would be more powerful than the V8's as well

[lethal yacht]

coz they introduced the rev-limit of 12,000 in... 2003?

He will race with the number 13.

I mean, just judging from the 1st 2 rounds, Ducati and Yamaha (and even Aprillia) are really the only teams up to speed, Suzuki not far but that's coz it's mostly on the pushing limits of Rins and Mir

[prisma blaze]

They did the same one with a mask last year lmfao

That’s the drivers face in the hood

@buoyant shale

[buoyant shale]

Amazing

[dim oar]

Didn't Nascar once have a Mario themed livery

[modern spade]

yeah

[marble willow]

Is it this?

[dim oar]

yes

time to remake it in rr3 or gt sport

[midnight kite]

The Asymmetry is real, the cars are not fucking symmetrical

[marble willow]

But why MK8 sponsoring in NASCAR out of all things? Eh, at least it isn't sponsored by Kim Kardashian.

[dim oar]

Looks like that pink car in Cars (my childhood movie and is what got me into racing and cars)

[snow flame]

Ew

[prisma blaze]

this is changing next year

they will symmetrical then

except the inside

drivers will be on the correct side of the car still

[lethal yacht]

they're only assymetric for ovals

[prisma blaze]

No they are in road courses to

I cant comprehend

how people

can think like this

i literally have a headache after watching this clip

[marble willow]

"There is no other city in the United States that has a Nascar track or a Formula 1 Track in a residential neighborhood."

"Formula 1 Track"

Monaco: Am I a joke to you?

[chrome grove]

mfs are truly fucking stupid

[prisma blaze]

she thinks there is 5 formula 1 tracks in the city of nashville

she is either an idiot of high

[chrome grove]

WHY DID YOU MOVE TO AN AREA WITH A RACETRACK.

[prisma blaze]

seriously

god i hate people so much

[chrome grove]

SHITS FUCKING BEEN THERE

ITS ON YOU IF YOU DONT WANT NOISE

[runic patio]

Fuckin hell that woman is stupid

[prisma blaze]

some people are complaining it will disrupt the kids in school

[marble willow]

F1 never raced at Nashville. Stupid POS idiot.

[prisma blaze]

[runic patio]

Like bruh she's annoyed from the track noise like bitch u can watch for free then

[lethal yacht]

... Yeah chief using Monaco as an example in the US is nah

[chrome grove]

i have 0 problem with them not liking racing

[prisma blaze]

does anyone else have a headache after watching that

[marble willow]

Yeah, you're right. Shoulda thought that through

[prisma blaze]

i have a severe headache

[chrome grove]

just dont FUCKING MOVE THERE when you dont like it

[lethal yacht]

Bro I', not even gonna watch that video

[chrome grove]

please do not let these dumbasses vote when its time to

[median briar]

omg i have to put my tv on volume 10 :waa:

[marble willow]

This just gives me flashbacks to the people protesting the Miami F1 circuit at one point

god....

[chrome grove]

ehhh

the ppl protesting it actually have a arguement about the noise

for miami

[prisma blaze]

i think you should need to take an iq test before you are able to vote

you need at least a 90

people like her shouldnt be allowed to vote

[lethal yacht]

... Can we be over it?

[prisma blaze]

wdym

[lethal yacht]

Or is it like... People accept her complaint regardless coz the council would prefer to just shut down a race track coz Karen complained bar finding the truth?

[prisma blaze]

well i seemed a ton of people clapped in the video so

a whole place full of idiots

did you watch it?

[lethal yacht]

No of course I didn't

[prisma blaze]

you should

[lethal yacht]

what benefit would it have?

[prisma blaze]

a severe headache?

[lethal yacht]

THAT'S NO BENEFIT

[prisma blaze]

lol

[chrome grove]

yeah it is

it makes u more pissed about everything

SOURCES : me

[prisma blaze]

i guess it will

make everyone else you know

seem less stupid

thats a benefit right

[chrome grove]

headaches make everyone more prone to my fist /s

[lethal yacht]

When I watch videos like that, especially in my tired state, I just get angry and sad at the world oof

And I'd just rather not

[prisma blaze]

long story short

[lethal yacht]

Karen.

[prisma blaze]

she thinks there are 5 nascar tracks in nashville city limits

and another 5 formula 1 tracks in nashville city limits

yes you did read that right

[lethal yacht]

What does she consider each one?

[prisma blaze]

go kart track?

[chrome grove]

we should ask her to name the traks

tracks

[prisma blaze]

i mean

there is one other race track

[lethal yacht]

Like does she think a NASCAR track an Oval and a Formula 1 track a Road Course?

[prisma blaze]

but thats like

40 minutes away

[prisma blaze]

maybe idk

[marble willow]

She's a Karen. She won't know jack squat.

[prisma blaze]

there arent any road courses so

[lethal yacht]

Like that's... Y'know idk

She can be thrown into a moat

[prisma blaze]

lol

idk maybe like

nashville superspeedway

multiplied

and there are now 10

5 of which are f1 tracks

[chrome grove]

theres nashville superspeedway

[prisma blaze]

and all in the city

[chrome grove]

the new road course for indy

bristol

[prisma blaze]

bristol is 300 miles away

[chrome grove]

and the fairgrounds

the only mainish tracks in tennessee

[prisma blaze]

wait

does she think

indycar is f1

[marble willow]

I bet she'll think that any form of open wheel racing is F1

[prisma blaze]

go karts included?

i mean it would explain where she got the other 4 from

oh

my

god

guys

there are 4 go karting tracks in nashville

she actually thinks

these 4 go karting tracks are f1 tracks

plus the indycar track

[median briar]

go karting

[lethal yacht]

The sheer noise

[buoyant shale]

There's 3 smaller ovals in Nashville iirc

Not NASCAR ovals, yknow, midgets and lower series short ovals

[empty jasper]

Got to be in a Q and A with Pato O’Ward

[median briar]

nice

[empty jasper]

He’s a very nice guy and I actually asked him about the time he replaced Raghunathan and how it was to race against future F1 talents… and Sean Gelael.

[prisma blaze]

Yeah the sheer noise from those damn formula 1 go karts

Especially the indoor one!

[eternal ravine]

Reminds me of all the protesting against the Miami GP

Like shit makes no sense

Yall okay with the Super Bowl being there? An event that happens late at night, a school/work night. Compared to F1 that happens on weekends, mid-day.

[unreal current]

Super bowl happens on Sunday

[eternal ravine]

yeah

[unreal current]

Afternoon

Mhm

[eternal ravine]

Which then carries on into the night

[unreal current]

F1 races happen on sunday morning early Afternoon

Exactly

[eternal ravine]

Makes no sense to me

[unreal current]

It doesnt

Lol

[eternal ravine]

And they also used noises as an excuse

[unreal current]

There gonna put barriers

[eternal ravine]

You will not hear those V6 Engines from your neighborhood lmao

[unreal current]

Noise proof barriers

[eternal ravine]

If this was the V8 or V10 days, yeah that might be an issue.

[unreal current]

Yeah

Lol

[eternal ravine]

But the V6s are pretty quiet from a distance. Yes they are ear deafening loud, but only if you're like RIGHT there

And another thing. The race will be amazing for the local economy

So much tourism, so many small businesses will benefit from this

People are just dumb. I swear

[rain elk]

although it is considered a shit layout

at least it wasn't made by tilke

it was a product of apex circuit design

[lethal yacht]

Imagine thinking noise quality is just related to it's Volume

[unreal current]

V10s were so loud

V10s

My god

Stand right next

Your perma deaf in both ears

[lethal yacht]

Yeah the only 2 cars for GoodWood I took my cans off for was the FW26 and PC22

Oh boy

[rain elk]

@unreal current that's what made them so loved

[unreal current]

Yep

[lethal yacht]

I really don't think it's coz they were unmuffled, more the fact they just revved to oblivion and you can't find a V10 that doesn't sound good
