Traditionally, the tyres are made in Turkey but as a precaution, Pirelli wants to ensure its Romanian plant is capable of producing the tyres to the required standard.

according to wikipedia at least it's still used
>When first used, overtaking was frequent as cars could follow closely through the last two corners and slipstream down the long straight. As aerodynamic balance became more critical, this overtaking method drastically decreased as the cars were unable to follow each other through the fast final corner due to turbulence created by the leading car.[4] The 2007 season saw the first of the two final sweepers replaced with a slow chicane in an effort to improve overtaking. However, the redesign has not yet shown any effect.[4]
>The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya also plays host to many other racing series, including MotoGP. The chicane which was put in the penultimate turn for Formula 1 does not play a part in the track layout for Moto GP, and there are at least five points on the track (turns 1, 2, 4, 10, 14) where riders are known to overtake. As in Formula 1, turn one is arguably the most popular place for overtaking. The circuit is not known to produce copious amounts of overtaking, despite the long straights.

indycar is "competitive" and it's still shitty racing. If this season were competitive in the sense that two constructors had a chance at the title, it would still be domination over the rest of the field.
What made f1 great is the dynamism, that a car and driver could get better or worse over the season and that the rules allowed all these variables in play.

I'm far from the only one tired of the compromisers. We are the audience for motor racing, I fail to see why we should spend our time trying to convince ourselves of how it's not actually that bad, or how the removal of one stupid rule somehow justifies the inclusion of another.
It's not that I or anyone else is aiming to be stubborn for the sake of it, it's just that it would be better to be gridlocked, and then ultimately achieve something than it is to take that relativistic attitude and be like reddit or trackforum and convince ourselves that things arent bad.

i'll have to do some testing ahead of melbun

the ace I have is built on 2.0.5 whereas vlc is up to 2.2.1 and somewhere in there they added an extra deinterlace hotkey
like in vlc i go D and it turns on/off, Shift-D cycles modes - but in ace D just turns on/off so it is fucking annoying to pick the right one

My Acestream settings had uPnP turned on, but the router didn't seem to accept it.
qBittorent was in my uPnP list in my router, so the uPnP is working.
Forwarding it manually just now made a dramatic difference in peers and upload speed

newey is revealing the teams had more leeway with CFD time for the purpose of demoing 2017 ideas, which is where mercedes got the whole 'Pirelli can't handle the load' argument from. mercedes came out with that at a meeting, my impression was after the window for CFD closed. so there's this whole tire load question that needs answering but the teams would have to use their own time now.
pat symonds is also on record saying that the regulations aren't ready for 2017 so I'm leaning towards the red bull camp for once

Yes, firing Costa was probably a mistake. The only thing he did wrong that season was not being able to exploit the blown diffuser. When that was banned at Silverstone, the F150 wasn't a bad car at all.
I have no sympathy for Tombazis though. He was probably the mug who told the engine guys to heavily compromise and then he didn't deliver on his side of the deal.

It must just be the body width not the max width because having the cars be 160cm max wide would just be fucking wrong.

They won't run the body (other than the floor) at max width anyway, too shit for CdA aero.

But how do they decide the order of the cars on the track? Because I can clearly see some drivers cheating the rules and doing some clever "nearly blocking" manoeuvres if they're in front of other cars.
Sure there are rules about that, but I would be surprised if anyone didn't try it.
Probably going to be experimented at some race, then dropped right afterwards because of how stupid it is. If the issue is that half the qualifying sessions are boring because no one's driving, then maybe they should stop penalizing the drivers actually driving in quali by having them carry over their tires.

You would have to fill assuming you were going to run for the whole session.
Tyre pit stops could be done but it would be tight to pull in, get them done, do an out lap and then a fast lap.
All in all it is just a shit system.

What about the midfield though?
You'd get a huge advantage by fueling the car for 30 minutes of running instead of an hour.
And as a result, you won't get knocked out after 30 minutes, and run out of fuel.
It really is mindbogglingly incompetent that they want to fuck with one of the few things in F1 that actually works well.

>now Q3 will be between uhh wait
1.5 min between each elimination, Q1 is 15 min and there are 22 cars. So that gives us (15/1.5)-1=9 drivers out, 13 left. Then Q2 is 3 min longer so that's an extra two cars out (13-11) for… 2 left in Q3?
So it looks like we've gone from a multi-way shootout to 12 minutes of two cars (which will probably be Mercedes) sitting in their garages after setting a banker lap since there aren't enough tires.

Another problem with this new format is that it doesn't account for laps that take longer than 90s. So this would be fine for Canada, Interlagos, etc. which have short laps and the driver can theoretically respond/get another lap in. But if it's Spa and raining (extreme but realistic example) the laps take 2 minutes and cars are going to knocked out after getting one flying lap down (out lap + timed lap could be almost 5 minutes if they're on track the instant the session begins).

Singapore is 1:40 lap time.
2 elimination can happen in the time it takes you to do a single lap.

99 percent sure this is a threat. They keep proposing shitty shit at ecclestone's behest. He wanted these shit formulae removed and the manufacturers and todt stopped him, so now he's twisting the knife.
He's showing that if he doesn't get his way he'll have to fuck it up.
