I love how the Mobil 1 mclelen Honda commercials are so clearly sped up. They know that their car is slow as shit.

I was a kid in a fucking candy shop.
I was tempted to try and pretend to be disabled to have a test drive on the circuit but the controls on disabled access vehicles are madcatz tier.
Apologies for difference in quality. Camera battery died.

R.I.P. Group C and semi likable pre monisha sauber.
I've driven with handicapped controls before. Kind of weird, I'm sure its worse with a stick shift.
Donington I've heard is an amazing museum.

For £10 it incredible.

You can wax lyrical about his go-kart and look at Penske wind tunnel model
Also F1 cars always seem bigger in person.
With the modern TV angles looking at the billboards it makes the cars seem like these tiny thin darts.

Daily reminder that Senna was never world karting champion, but Andrea de Cesaris was.

You're not even in the US. Is this some pan-faggot revolution where people act as if this is some victory over cartoonish villains?

Is there a reason that only a few people seem to post out of this thread? That's really my only disappointment I've had here.

There is only 15 of us and the other threads aren't really on topics that get or need constant attention.
What is the most active thread outside of this one? The WAG thread.

Yeah this seems to be working. If we had more active posters, it would make sense to make new threads. Until that point its best we just dwell here.
In other news, this 8chan captcha things is getting quite annoying.

It never feels like it. If feels more like people with constantly changing IPs.
I can't believe there are 4+ Finns in this thread.
Admittedly this was a race thread so there is probably people who drop only for the race thread.

even if you just count flags, we have french, brit, aus, american, indian, netherlands, estonian, finnish, swedish, mexican, and german posters. We clearly have at least 3 brits, if even only for the race, we've had 2 aus posters that are semi consistent, at least 5 americans, 2 mexicans, 2 swedes. That's just off the top of my head.

Yep.

F1 could learn something from F-e, no whining about contact between cars

well Formula E cars are like 3000 miles slower than Formula 1 cars so contact is not that that violent.

most of the contact talk this year happened in monaco through corners, f1 isn't that much faster there

yes but F1 cars have so many flaps that losing one means losing an entire FE car worth of aero.
