I guess the thumbnailer doesn't like it

People are so full of shit with their "Schumacher had traction/launch control" bullshit.

>Important:

>I'm not saying he had it, or that he didn't have it, but that people's arguments are so fucking retarded.

For example, somehow this video is PROOF that Schumacher had launch control.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYca6E6c3IM

It couldn't possibly be that he just had a good start compared to those around him…

I guess Alonso had launch control in his 2013 Ferrari too:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq884Re2FIs

Then there's the "Senna stood next to the track and listened to Schumacher's car, and confirmed it had traction control" bullshit.

Senna had already been accusing Schumacher of illegal driver aids publicly, so anything he witnessed was massively affected by confirmation bias.

Furthermore, amazingly despite thousands of people standing at hundreds of corners throughout the year, many of whom had been in motorsport for decades, only Senna had hearing capable of determining if traction control was being used. His hearing was even better than video/audio recording devices!

>>31788

There is full proof through FIA documents that the car had it.

It's just whether they used it.

IIRC you had to get on a laptop, connect it to the car (standard procedure) and scroll down off the menu until you reached a blank 'option 13' which would engage it. I believe Benetton claimed they only ever used it in testing.

>>31790

>Important:

>I'm not saying he had it, or that he didn't have it, but that people's arguments are so fucking retarded.

F1 at Tsukuba, when?

>heart rate crap is so Japanese

>>31791

I agree that arguments that senna could hear magical shit is just stupid.

Still if a team was found with launch control (or some setting which was illegal) on the car now and they claimed they never used it outside of testing you have to admit that the FIA would just throw the book at them regardless.

>>31792

It would probably be about 42-40 second lap

Actually that is an interesting point. What is the shortest F1 lap in history?

>>31794

Page loads are taking fucking forever waiting for infinitydev.org all of a sudden too.

>>31795

Shortest or quickest?

>>31797

>>31798

I'm guessing Zeltweg because that is also the shortest

>>31799

>Zeltweg

Kinda.

Nearly.

Found it.

In 1974 they used the short layout of Dijon and our old friend Jody took the fastest lap with an exact 1 minute on lap 10.

Lauda stuck it on pole with a 59.79

That was the only time they used the short layout of Dijon

>>31800

That is the exact same link I used…

Is the cheap booze making you go blind again?

>>31801

That is comparable to some modern circuits (if you get rid of the catch fences) also the 70's cars do just look awesome with their overly tall airboxes.

>>31809

https://books.google.com.au/books?id=gsFQCgAAQBAJ&pg=PA183&lpg=PA183&dq=1974+ford+dfv+horsepower&source=bl&ots=LS_vNrgr0d&sig=tBzZxQceg1udpySzsabZNXmJ6wQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiPmvOu0orKAhVJuBoKHf6jC7IQ6AEINzAF#v=onepage&q=1974%20ford%20dfv%20horsepower&f=false

>"Over a period of 16 years, DFV displacment never changed yet horsepower increased from to 450 to 470 at 10,000rpm in 1971 and 475 to 495 horsepower at 10,800rpm in 1978."

So 470ish HP for Jody in 1974

The horsepower of the 1960 Offenhauser at Indy is harder to nail down.

I'm seeing 450hp claimed "in the early 60's"

So maybe a bit less than that in 1960.

>>31810

Post it on Reddit an ruin their "modern circuits have too much tarmac runoff" narrative.

:^)

>>31811

Though this one is 300hp

Just 12 more days till the first proper racing with the 24hrs of Dubai

I remember /o/ on cuckchan talking about entering it because when the 24hr series was smaller it was really cheap to get an entry and they would pay for shipping the car to dubai (provided you got it to holland or some shit like that)

>>31826

>they would pay for shipping the car to dubai

It's amazing how they can afford to do that, and still have enough left to fund the terrorists.

>>31827

I'm not sure if it was Dubai or Creventic who paid but I just checked and they still do it.

It is 5,400 euros entry fee for a <2000cc car with free shipping from rotterdam for the car and equipment.

That is a fucking steel.

If Jann "the flying man" Mardenborough can win a GP3 race then the sim racers on /o/ can make it.

>>31832

I was more worried about /o/'s engineering and car prep

>>31836

Actually I'll rephrase that:

>I love taunting cuckchan about how shit it is there :^)

A lot of them are ok, they're just misguided fools.

And it looks like we don't have to make new threads at 300 posts now.

>>31832

Mardenborough is shit, but he's actually more so a karting kid than he is "le simracer who became a real racing driver". They spun it as if he was some "last starfighter"-esque send up from vidya when he's just a bad karting kid.

A lot of these sim racer types dont know how to go fast in real life and lack the smoothness and technical ability to not suck when in a real car

Source: Personal experience

That is so bad it doesn't even deserve a joke reply. It's actually quite a funny story.

>A partner, Zhao Xiaolai, who was found guilty of managing the operation's gambling accounts, was sentenced on Thursday to two years in prison and fined 20,000 yuan.

If you are wondering why the guy got off less well:

A: This is China

B: She previously forged her identity so it appeared she was a high member of the Chinese Red Cross. She then for some ridiculous reason posted on her social media loads of photos of her in expensive cars and clothing spending lots and lots of money. When people started to accuse her of spending Red Cross money she apologized and said she had no connection with the red cross in any way.

What an idiot.

Some guy once walked into our high school and cut the brake lines on one of the bikes tied up at the bike rack without anyone noticing.

The school was on the side of a steep hill and split into two main sites by a crossroad.

The bikes were on the north (high) side of the crossroad

Kid didn't have a chance and got wiped out.

the other one is "someone slashed my tires"

yes, they slashed it in the tread face with a discarded nail much like the kind you might drive over

other news from my daily perusal of motorsport.com is that TR will need to have a longer wheelbase to fit the Ferrari PU, but how much longer is not specified.

>inb4 it's like the long-wheelbase "Lotus" E21 in 2013 and it's only a couple cm

>>31961

Interesting to see if Ferrari homologated it's front mounted oil tank with their 2015 tokens, thus forcing Toro Rosso to use it.

The front where it should be though, so it's not a problem. It's just interesting.

>>31962

I'm cautiously excited for TR next year. IIRC Sainz Jr. was worried about them moving backwards as the year goes on due to no PU development but they got through 2015 with an Renault arguably worse than 2014 and still made it to 4th place a couple times.

Hopefully they sneak a podium or two. Of course that'll only happen when both Mercedes and Ferrari drop the ball but Louis and Gimi have clearly forgotten how to drive so there should be space on the podium once in a while.

Also, the pass was also hilarious legal.

In the 1996 CART rulebook, the penalty for cutting the course to make a pass, was a black flag.

But you couldn't be served a black flag on the final lap :^)

The next year the rule book was amended to "black flag or other penalty".

>>31999

That's fucking brilliant.

>>31999

>But you couldn't be served a black flag on the final lap

This is so fucking lame, I can't even begin to explain why.

>>32001

well it is the last lap, how are they supposed to pit before the end of the race if it's shown on the finishing straight?

this sorta thing would happen anyways if they were to pit (depending on where their garage is)

>>31999

I had always heard that it was legal because zanardi made the pass before he went off track.

>>32001

It was also the last race of the season so a penalty couldn't be brought to the next race.

>>32003

>I had always heard that it was legal because zanardi made the pass before he went off track

They did actually, but I think it was more to cover their asses over the massive loophole in the rulebook that Zinardi inadvertently found.

The fact that they changed the rules for the next year is a bit of a smoking gun.

there is still quite a bit of it to go

>>32041

If you want.

I still need to watch the last few days, been too busy/tired with house shit to watch.

>>32036

Isn't it funny how only the male verstappens have blowjob lips?

>signed the lease for the new house

>got given the entry condition report

>it mentions curtains on the north and eastern windows in the living room

>there are no curtains

>because there are no east or north wundows

>eventually conclude the report is describing another unit

Went and got a different one off the real estate. It's a bit better, but now it's too late in the day to lodge it, so I'll have to drive 450km home, 450km there to lodge it within 7 days, then 450km home again.

Fucking annoyed…

>>32049

Going to see if I can scan and email it. Not sure if the demand the original.

>>32051

I don't see why they wouldn't. I did all the paperwork for buying my entire house over email in .pdf, not even my choice as I hate pdf but that is how everyone operates. I mean everyone - escrow, realtor, seller, bank - all in shitty pdf with whatever shit resolution and incompatibilities from whatever shit thing each one used

does anybody speak horse?

>Broadcast understands that ITV will almost certainly look to make the coverage in-house and could soon begin the process of sounding Ross exits Wall to Wall to set up Objective’s Panda out an experienced horse-racing producer to lead the production team.

Good interview with Hülkenmeme - he seems pretty blue-pilled on being in the midfield unfortunately.

>Q: And if you get too far ahead of yourself you start losing the focus on now?

That's some jedi stuff right there

Hate to think what's happened to Ken Block already..

Imagining him alone in a dark sauna growling with himself

do you think we'll get any coverage from testing as e.g. channel 4 does a shakedown of the new production team they need to get up and running?

or will there be a media ban like at the last pirelli test and we won't even get shitty scrolling autosport text with their godawful flag icons

>>32071

It'll be like the standard testing coverage.

Ch4 will probably do roundups like Sky.

There was a reason for the media ban. It was a shit one but it was a reason

>That fucking shirt

Ron has gone off the deep end again

>>32076

Oh thank god you guys aren't dead.

I've been sitting here staring at the screen for 10 hours waiting for you guys to come back.

>>32077

Of course I'm here, I'm not like Mexibro who can't be bothered to post.

>>32078

To be fair he gave a warning that he wasn't going to be here.

>>32079

He's still active on Twitter, so it's not like he's busy or offline.

>>32080

What actually is his twitter because I completely forgot and I couldn't find it the previous way I did. Yeah, yeah Mi6 incompetence and what not.

>tfw watch one re-run of TOTP's and caused me to binge-listen to the chart hits of 1981

Fucking Phil Collins, Duran Duran, The Human League and Depeche Mode.

>>32081

I wouldn't really feel right more or less doxing him

>bugged again

Good point

Always a good friend to have

>Spectator dies after being hit by car during Dakar Rally

>A spectator died during the Dakar Rally on Saturday after being hit by a Mitsubishi car taking part in the race.

>The 63-year-old Bolivian man was hit by Frenchman Lionel Baud's vehicle during the seventh stage, from Bolivia to Argentina.

>"The organisation's medical service could only confirm, unfortunately, the death of the person involved," organisers said in a statement.

>>32085

the problem right there

bolivian security in charge of anything

>>32087

could have an announcement that C4 hired that douchebag from Match of the Day ==2== to head their coverage and would not care

>>32081

>Phil Collins

you put that in there as a joke right

>>32089

Phil Collins is the fucking bomb

>>32081

>he doesn't have patrician taste and listen to dire straits

Those are good choices I guess.

>>32090

Phil Collins quit music. Don't get me wrong, genesis was good when he was the lead and face value was great, but giving up like that made me lose respect.

>also

>1981

>music

>song about regulation killing the auto hobby

>rush confirmed for inspiring the FIA

>>32093

He's just doing his Emilia impersonation

>>32094

then why isn't he miming fucking a horse

>>32100

I wouldn't leave either, those are some sweet digs.

Fuck the Dakar coverage.

The trucks only got 1 minute and 50 seconds of airtime today.

>>32091

>>32092

It's the top charters so it is only 'in the air tonight' (which is now permanently associated with a gorilla in this country)

I don't usually listen to Phill Collins. The rest is basically just Synthpop.

It is a pity that because half the TOTP episodes had a paedophile hosting them, we don't get to see them broadcasted anymore.

TOTP is always great regardless of the year.

>>32106

they still mine that deep vein for all those old-people bait retrospective shows

>ABBA at the BBC, The Joy of ABBA, Hey Nan Here is Some ABBA, More ABBA Because You Don't Want to Talk to Your Family at Christmas

>Glam Rock Attacks!

>How to Make a Hit Record But Not Really As Instead a Bunch of Clips and Interviews with Dudes Trying to Hide Their Bald Spots

not to mention all that Dominic Sandbrook "here is what I liked as a teenager" presented under the guise of cultural history

PBS here has a similar phenomenon during pledge weeks (which are now every other week) but for reeally old people,

>The Best of Lawrence Welk, More Best of Lawrence Welk, Lawrence Welk: His Children Remember the Best

>this despite completely differing financial dynamics, getting something for the money they are forced to pay vs. soliciting people who are about to die to put a network in their will

loving this insightful commentary. Not even kidding

>>32111

why is it that there are like 5 driving sims on the market and all are buggy, feature poor, and made by retards?

>>32100

that's fucking amazing.

>>32113

Assetto Corsa

I just do the easier thing and carry on playing rFactor.

The amount of mods means I'm never going to get bored.

>>32114

I'm familiar with assetto corsa and the myriad issues it has (some deliberate, and some because the developers are cretins)

Sorry it is late.

I thought you said 'what sim is that.'

>>32122

>indestructible Hilux narrative destroyed

>>32123

why did Top Gear never run the dakar?

cowards could have gotten half a season of episodes and a christmas dvd out of it

>>32124

Even better:

>The Dakar Rally used to run between Paris and Dakar. However, the original route has been abandoned due to safety concerns.

>Your task is to prove to the world that racing drivers are cowards by racing the original route.

>You each have £1000 to buy and modify a Toyota Hilux for rally use.

>>32125

that would be good too but it's just a regular challenge like the nile

I liked seeing them fail in that endurance race with actual other people in

>>32126

But in my version they get shot :^)

>>32137

I was hoping it would make me smell like Valtteri, so I could sneak in to Emilia's bed and cuddle her for a minute or two until she realized and called the police

>>32138

I imagine the bo77 smells like gunpowder and petrol with a hint of salmiakki

is there a ban on alcohol in deodorant there

>>32144

I noticed that.

Quite funny they're using the non-booze livery.

>>32143

Ben Edwards I imagine.

He is good main and has been doing motorsports forever (he commentated on Brundle's last few seasons). He is also the only commentator on Sky or Beeb to have done non-F1 stuff.

I've suffered at least 5 BSOD's in the past 24hrs

It's getting worse. Something is fucked with one of the drives.

I will 100% buy my new PC before this weekend.

I've gone out and bought a second 2TB external hard drive for extra back up (everything already fits on the first one twice over but you can never be too careful Plus this one is portable)

I also got three encrypted 8gb USB sticks for three extra backups of just the WAG folder.

I also impulse bought myself a new mouse because I've gotten sick of using a Logitech M100.

>>32150

>encrypted

>WAG folder

WAGs are srs bsns

>>32151

Possibly the only driver in all of motorsport more meme than Kimi

>>32152

You fucking bet they are.

I'll buy some more and bury them with some cash.

Co-ordinates to be posted on my death

lel, poor bastard must be tired

>>32150

>I also impulse bought myself a new mouse because I've gotten sick of using a Logitech M100.

I hope it has a lot of buttons

I used to wonder why have all the extra buttons on mice and now I don't have enough on this G300

also logitech started gluing their mice together at some point which makes it impossible to open them up and clean shit out of the wheel

>>32158

>tfw 3 button mouse (on my laptop) and the scroll click is broken, thus 2 button mouse

>>32158

Forward/back, sideways scroll and another one that I just discovered and I'm pretty sure it wasn't in the instructions.

The M100 was nice in that it was just one screw holding it all together so when I split milk all over it it was quick clean up.

>>32160

I had a M150 (LS1) which was the first one of theirs I had that was entirely glue-sealed

it was also the worst mouse I have ever owned. this coming from a person who would get those $3 mechanical serial port ball mice and replace them every two months

>>32152

>>32157

To be fair now that I think about there are images in that which I have paid for so an encryption is kinda useful.

Unlikely I'll report it to the police if it was stolen

>So what was on the pendrives?

>Ah…well…uh…

I can't even pretend it's hardcore porn because that will just get me arrested.

is this the build your own pc or an interim one?

>>32132

I'm really pleased to hear that you're as paranoid as I am

whats a uart?

>>32168

This is the old one which is fucking up.

I'm going to buy the parts to build a new one this week.

I still don't know why I get this feeling of hesitation when I get to the buying part.

>>32169

what's your budget?

>>32170

I've arbitrarily chosen £1000 because it's nice big round number.

And it is more than enough for someone who really doesn't game much (and definitely not high end games) but I do need something decent for work.

I do mapping work and that involves using really big pieces of data sometimes and playing with large UK datasets is a pain in the fucking arse with a shit PC.

>FIA has amended the allocation of the Super Licence points to last 5 years from 2016 onwards

So what is the fucking point then?

It is piss easy to get 40 points in 5 years

>>32171

do you have a monitor and all the peripherals?

>>32173

Yep.

The monitor is actually a touchscreen but I don't use it.

>>32174

do you have an optical drive or some other way of installing the operating system?

also which OS do you want?

>>32175

Yes.

I've been through all of this when I watched/helped my dad with his computer when I was a bit younger.

>>32176

For the ease of connecting with work and work programs it will be windows.

>>32177

>For the ease of connecting with work and work programs it will be windows.

should have been clearer.

Which version (what number 7,8,10)

>>32178

Well I've got 7 currently (also at work) and I've used 10 on someone else's computer and I didn't particularly care for it.

I heard 8.1 was okay but I haven't tried it.

>>32179

May Jody smile upon your construction

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/c9H2hM

>>32172

>make GP2 champion and runner-up each year the full 40 points

>now finishing on average 6th in GP2 over 5 years is enough

>average 8th in the yet-finalized F2 is also good enough

meanwhile Will Stevens (22 pts) and Merhi (20 pts) will still qualify by F1 starts

who else is in the frame for Manussia?

>American Hero Alex Rossi has 40 pts but qualifies anyways

>Rio Haryanto has 20 pts

>Pascal Wehrmacht has 45 pts but doesn't have enough Mercedes shekels

>Joe's Award rumors that Magnussen found Danish backing and might return (40 pts besides the F1 starts)

is there an up-to-date source on these #'s? doing it manually isn't fun and it looks like driverdb hasn't been updated with the 2015 championship placings

anyways the FIA is clearly doing their job ensuring that everyone that enters F1 is a mid-twenties pay driver

>>32179

If you don't like the toned down 8 features present in 10 then 8.1 might be a poor choice

agree with >>32180 to stick with 7

>>32181

Keith has done it on F1 fanatic but there is three lists and the latest one tells you to go back to the one in July.

that's a super powerful build btw. 16gb ram at 1600 mhz, 3tb storage in a 7200rpm drive, the second best graphics card that amd makes (by the best vendor, sapphire), and the best amd cpus with far and away the best air cooled cpu cooler i've used in any build.
