6 Hours of Spa Backmarker 05/02/15 (Sat) 06:43:55 18cf32 No.7041

Sure will be relaxing. I hope Hulkenberg is able to destress from Force India's terrible season before they put the cucumbers over his eyes.

Should be a good track for the Porsche's with their monster top speeds. Toyota should have a better performance with the heavy braking zones. They really suffered with their super-caps at Silverstone.

Audi, was testing their low drag aero at Monza, so don't expect them to be mugged as easily on the straights as they were at Silverstone.

45 bings to go

It begins!

That start procedure would look so better with team grid girls in front of each car wearing team colours

That Audi looks menacing

I'll have to leave in about an hour to watch Morecambe play but this should be good

Oh god, what a pass

Audi's struggling

Backmarker 05/02/15 (Sat) 13:17:40 567dc6 No.7060

>Hartley not even attempting to make the corner

He deserves a penalty.

>15 second stop go.

Good. Fuck him.

Curse of the 17 porsche

Backmarker 05/02/15 (Sat) 14:40:21 671130 No.7063

That 9 Audi doesn't look healthy

Backmarker 05/02/15 (Sat) 14:45:02 567dc6 No.7064

>>7063

That porpoising is crazy.

I wonder if it's an aero, or suspension damping problem

Backmarker 05/02/15 (Sat) 15:13:36 671130 No.7066

>>7064

I would say it's a suspension problem. They use an interlinked system which Mercedes f1 innovated. It looks like the system is making the car run too stiff, there is no give on the bumps.

Backmarker 05/02/15 (Sat) 16:25:33 671130 No.7067

Lotterer rused that porsche good

Backmarker 05/02/15 (Sat) 16:28:08 567dc6 No.7068

I hope Toyota can find some speed and be more competitive.

Seeing VW racing itself is a bit lame, imo

Backmarker 05/02/15 (Sat) 16:31:24 671130 No.7069

These commentators man

Backmarker 05/02/15 (Sat) 16:37:28 671130 No.7070

>>7068

Their aero seems poor and even possibly down on power too.

Supreme strategy call from Audi

Backmarker 05/02/15 (Sat) 18:19:10 515684 No.7073

The Audi sounds so terrible. I know it and lotterrer are top shelf, but these hybrids sound like utter shit. I find myself lowering the volume to get rid of the whine.

Backmarker 05/02/15 (Sat) 18:26:17 671130 No.7074

>>7073

It's mostly the gearbox and fly wheel that your listening to. The diesel engine on that car is super quiet.

Backmarker 05/02/15 (Sat) 18:26:32 515684 No.7075

>>7073

They sound okay when the electric motor isn't going, or when the regeneration isn't happening, but that electric whine is earsplittingly annoying.

Backmarker 05/02/15 (Sat) 18:27:39 515684 No.7076

>>7074

Yes that's what I mean. The Porsche sounds alright as well but for the hybrid noises.

Backmarker 05/02/15 (Sat) 18:30:39 515684 No.7077

Camera work is much better than in f1 though.
