I always looked at Repsol as a sponsor that never really left rallying.

The Escorts, Deltas, Mitsubishis.

I'm not too big on the wheels, but other than that, that's a solid livery.

honda ra700

[calm briar]

It's also a good discussion point, because I wish Red Bull used it as inspiration for their Turkey livery.

[short glade]

they did

lol

it was inspired by honda's first winning car

[calm briar]

Well, yes, but it could have been a lot better!

[short glade]

well that livery was basic

[calm briar]

I wish it didn't have the yellow, at least.

[short glade]

so that one will be basic too

[calm briar]

I wish it kept the simple red, white, and black scheme of the RA300.

[short glade]

yellow was probably because red bull

[calm briar]

That's what I was thinking, but at the same time, they've gone without the yellow before.

I remember there was that black, blue, and white livery from a few years ago.

[oblique dock]

Honda RA300

[short glade]

pre season testing liveries

[calm briar]

Was it? I thought that was a race livery. Huh.

Hans wasn’t mandatory until 2003

[short glade]

i know

[calm briar]

Especially considering the helmets of the time. Some drivers' noses were almost touching the front of the helmet.

If you got hit in the front, you'd break your nose.

[short glade]

for 1997 they changed to a smol patch for the mercedes logo

To the undisguised delight of the crowd, Prost's day ended when his turbo blew after 26 laps. He had already suffered tyre damage when forced to brake heavily to avoid Andrea de Cesaris' spinning Alfa Romeo at the chicane. He was probably relieved to get out of Italy. Death threats in the weeks before the race meant he had security protection throughout and was flown to and from the track by helicopter. As it was, he claimed local fans threw bottles onto the track at his car.

i mean... why is it always de Cesaris

Yup I still watch them race time to time especially 1993 Monaco

I believed that Michael Schumacher would’ve won the race if he had not retired

1993 Monaco practice

Senna injured his thumb

I think 1992 was one of Sennas worst starts of a season

Gerhard Berger was beating him in the drivers championship by one point

Yeah, feels like they're burping

[round swift]

That’s was during qualifying I believe

He crashed out in 1991 and 1992 at the Mexican gp

One in practice and one in qualifying

He qualified like 2.5 seconds behind

[oblique dock]

Day 31 of cars that won the WCC:
1991: Mclaren MP4/6

[paper jacinth]

The only and last "Car Champion" with a V12 Engine and the Manual Transmission

And won the constructors with 0,3 to 0,5 sgs slower than Williams Renault

[analog jasper]

cool

[round swift]

They had a semi-automatic transmission during early testing during the season, but was never regarded as good enough to be used in a race.

The Ferrari titles in the 70s also had a manual and a v12 at 180 degrees

Ya

[oblique dock]

A 30 year old legend

[round swift]

If I'm gonna get 1 diecast, it's the /6

[fair ivy]

Ah yes

The legendary car that Senna managed to win a race

With 6th gear only

[low valve]

Brazil right?

[paper jacinth]

Yes

[paper jacinth]

It's was in Hungary, but Ayrton prefers to finish the season with the manual gearbox to beat the Williams

[oblique dock]

They also tested an MP4/6 with a Semi Auto Gearbox in 1992

I so wish the Isuzu was approved

Boi was Powerful out the gates

[oblique dock]

How much HP we talking?

[meager pewter]

It basically was a slightly more torquey, lower revving Honda

The Honda in 1992 could do ~775-780bhp max

At 14,500 redlines

The Isuzu could do 740-755 at 13,500

[round swift]

nice

so it would have been more useable?

[meager pewter]

Well... Idk I'd assume it'd be pretty similar

More torque usually helps tho

And this bad boi had 412nm at 11,000

[low valve]

which teams used it

[round swift]

the car used in the video is the 1991 Lotus, but they never used it in a race

Bustle at Lotus: Enrique Scalabroni resigns because he still does not know around which engine he should design the 1992 single-seater. Moreover, his relations with Peter Wright were not harmonious. Meanwhile, Johnny Herbert is testing a 102B with an Isuzu V12 at Silverstone. The Japanese firm specializing in 4x4 has entrusted the production of this engine to former engineers from Honda and Yamaha. Shorter and lighter than the Lamborghini, this engine could be delivered to Lotus free of charge in 1992, if it proves to be sufficiently reliable.

[oblique dock]

Would have been interesting to see the Izusu V12 in actual competition

[round swift]

yeah, but i suspect it might have been in a different form

maybe Yamaha integrated some of the tech

[meager pewter]

The Yamaha OX99 was crap tho

Also I believe a 60

[meager pewter]

Basically the Isuzu engine was built by 4 geezers in the back, and then turned out they'd smashed it and so developed it more

[open cradle]

Does anyone know how to get classic cars with friends on f1 2020?

[round swift]

you're beter off asking in #f1-games

[meager pewter]

I love that Isuzu if you couldn't tell

Much like the HKS 300E

[oblique dock]

As tested in a Lola F3000 chassis iirc

[meager pewter]

Ye

More 660hp range tho so e

[oblique dock]

Talk about a power disadvantage

[round swift]

Yeah just for practice

“The MP4/6 raced throughout 1991 with a manual H pattern gearbox. A semi-automatic transmission was tested during the season, but was never regarded as good enough to be used in a race. Ferrari and Williams were the only teams using semi-automatic gearboxes during 1991. This makes the MP4/6 the last Formula One car to win a World Championship, either drivers or constructors, using a manual transmission or a V12 engine.”

“For the early races of 1992, McLaren used the MP4/6 (upgraded to MP4/6B spec) with an semi-automatic transmission and Senna was able to take it to 3rd place in the South African Grand Prix before it was replaced by the MP4/7A for the Brazilian Grand Prix.”

[meager pewter]

Yeah so the MP4/6B was used in that Silverstone test with the Isuzu

And you can hear how similar they are

[fair ivy]

Comparison between pit stops

[oblique dock]

Wait, Senna used an H-Pattern for Kyalami

[meager pewter]

Yeah the first couple 1992 races still had manuals

[round swift]

Damn Wikipedia

Never trust them

[round swift]

Congrats @round swift, you're now on lap 65

tbf therre's not a lot of cars of that era i dislike lol

[meager pewter]

It's hard not to like alot of these cars

They're wide as hecky, clean, had the imo the perfect timeframe for colour palettes

[oblique dock]

The cars looked very simple and not overly complicated.

[round swift]

Yeah exactly

[meager pewter]

Although that being said uniform chaos like 08 is also pog

[round swift]

yeah

they define their era in a way

[oblique dock]

The era of winglets
