Crofty is the lead commentator in the F1 2016 game if you want a frightening look into our future.

Hi howdy here is my unpopular opinion: Crofty, Brundle, and Ted are the best Formula One commentary team out of Sky, BBC, and NBC. They're so the commentary team I started out with in 2014, so that may play into it, but still they seem like nice guys and while Martin and Ted might not have the most agreeable opinions they all do a good job

I don't give a hot gay gently caress about Nintendo but I did sit through a 90 minute kart club meeting tonight and old 1500quid is being assfucked by my class changing tire manufacturers and I'm probably going to need to actually pay for tires this year.

Fiat. Emmissions. Cheating? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...m=.d47e7e7c5e4c https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/12/business/epa-emissions-cheating-diesel-fiat-chrysler-jeep-dodge.html?_r=0 Sergio Marchionne, chief executive of Fiat Chrysler, mounted an impassioned defense, denying that the company had intentionally broken the law. “There’s not a guy” at the automaker “who would try something as stupid” as cheating on emissions tests, he said on a call with reporters. “We don’t belong to a class of criminals,” Mr. Marchionne said. “We have done, in our view, nothing that is illegal.” learnincurve fucked around with this message at 08:41 on Jan 13, 2017 |

Good, gently caress that smug looking rear end in a top hat. Although, Ferrari does suck tremendously, so I could see why he's so salty all the time.

Its difficult to describe just how hard the BBC are pushing this Fiat Chrysler story and I'm not sure why. Unless of course they are hoping the Fiat pandas get dragged into this and they want to be able to say they got the story first.

Not so much in the UK as no one owns those cars. Anyway, They did have something. They just announced on the bbc news that Renault is under investigation in France for rigging emissions tests.

I'd plan on building the PVC frame for it most likely I'd get the t300. It's belt driven vs gear driven like the g29. My old wheel was the Thrustmaster TX. Same internals. I'd still have It if in didn't get such a good deal on my Accuforce. The g29 isn't a terrible wheel. But that loving gear rattle will murder you in stuff like Dirt Rally. Edit: Oh poo poo you needed a shifter too....Long term I'd say you'll still be happier with the belt driven wheel. But a shifter on top of that will add another 100 or 150... The shifter that comes with the G29 isn't amazing. But it comes with one... Norns fucked around with this message at 21:05 on Jan 13, 2017 |

Norns posted:I'd get the t300. It's belt driven vs gear driven like the g29. Thanks for the info, actually the G29/G920 doesn't come with a shifter anymore. In fact, the wheel (other than the new buttons) is apparently identical internally to the G27. So it's actually a pretty big ripoff overall. I think I'm aiming for a cheap used G27 if I can find one (because I could probably get that and build a base for under $500ish), if not I'll suck it up and go thrustmaster tx300 probably. Maybe. Someday.

I went karting after work on Thursday for 2.5 hours straight and qualified to drive Pro karts. poo poo those things are a different animal but a ton of fun. Powering out of corners and catching the rear is a blast, the learning curve is also a welcomed change. I'm now about to hunt for my own helmet and some gloves.

If you can get away with it just buy baseball batting gloves. Entry level karting gloves are garbage and batting glove are going to have the feel of a real high end glove for about $30-40.
