As impossible as it probably is, I'd love to see it move to Mount Panorama.

Perhaps you could also explain their results because they had an affordable and competitive customer engine available.


With hindsight it's insane how long the DFV's design lasted - it was used right up until the end of 1991.

That certainly helped them get started but actually while you could argue they're less affordable, the engine availability for small teams is as good as it's been since about 1982. Manor finished last in the championship last year with an identical engine to the winners.

Whoever comes into this thread to catch up before the season starts is going to have quite the rollercoaster of emotions to deal with. "Off season thread has been busy, wonder what's happened? Shitposting, shitposting, argument, shitposting, oh who cares about Bottas, more shitposting, wait WHAT! HOLY poo poo!"

A well-attended street race at a glamorous locale? Melbourne is probably Liberty's ideal of what a GP should look like.

Melbourne is the perfect location to try out American ideas. Beer, barbecued meat products, support races with tin top cars which have LOUD ENGINES. Throw in a ludicrous amount of fireworks when the winner crosses the line and it's the perfect day.
