Why is "Handling" given a good score?

It has good handling until the steering shaft snaps off

Just thinking about what to do with all the money I don't have.
Blast Corps was a legit fun game for N64, but even 10 year old me thought the story premise was pants-on-head stupid.

A truck carrying a nuclear missile detected a defect with the missile, so it's now on auto-pilot in a straight line to the safe disposal site regardless of anything in its path. The slightest disruption will set off the nuke, so you have to demolish this entire city to make sure the nuke doesn't blow it up. Mmmm kay.

This is the dumbest thing I've ever read in my life

quote:

The driver, in my days, was responsible for something like 70 to 80 percent of the victory.

and then

quote:

You see that the difference in lap times is very, very small.

Lmao. Sorry he didn’t pay fealty to Alonso, Hamilton and Verstappen. Need I remind you that Alonso had auto up shifts when he started as well.

Frond, are you completely and totally incapable of reading and understanding posts as they are written? Do you have some sort of disorder that requires you to twist our words into entirely different meanings before replying to them? What's happening here?

The drivers are way too babied but the last time I suggested actually banning radio I think this thread loving rioted over the suggestion so I'm fairly apathetic.

Verstappen is one of the top talent of the class but you could interchange any of the top ten talent in the class and the cars are going to finish in the exact same championship position at year end.

I understand the appeal of banning radio in principle, but please don't lose sight of the fact that radio conversations are one of the few breaks we get from Croft and Brundle.

I think Boutsen might have reversed the 70-80% car Vs. Driver. The car was still important, but the driver made much more of a difference until the 3.0L V10 era.
