Was that a helicopter or the car as he hit those downhill turns? Amazing either way.

It's just too bad it's seems they spend all thier time with graphic development and forget all about learning what the hell a car does in dirt. I bought the first one, sold it soon after. Gave the second one a chance, looks better drives the same. The third, judging by the video looks to be exactly the same.

They have the platform to make a truly great off-road based racing game but keep pumping out garbage. One day, hopefully, someone will finally get it right.

It's a mantra in the documentary, but "it was the times". Every racing series on the planet was struggling with the same problems F1 was, people kept dying. Not to that extent, though.

Christ, Bill France from NASCAR threatened to use a gun to prevent drivers from forming a union.

And as Stewart pointed out, "It was the times" wasnt a valid excuse. Chapman's attitude that came through was "Welp, the best driver in the world just died I'll go get another one, gently caress it while I'm at it I'll make my cars lighter again" and it wasnt until Clark and Rindt died he seemed to care.

Things like steering columns breaking in half, there's just no excuse for that.

Well, we all know now it wasn't an excuse, and I'm not trying to defend him. It's just that Chapman wasn't even close to being the only guy more worried about winning than safety. Guys like Roger Penske and his absurd 917/30, Porsche themselves with the 917 by running fuel through the roll cage, you can go on and on.

Honestly, the only guy from back then that thought of safety that I can think of and was involved in the building of cars was Smokey Yunick. Both NASCAR and Indy ran him out of the sport without adopting any of his ideas for change, which included fuel cells and SAFER barriers.

e- oddly enough, Chapman took the ideas for wings from Smokey when the F1 guys were at Indy in '62, so I guess even Smokey had a hand in it.
