Actually I'm a bit of a NASCAR expert and they're all very bad drivers, probably due to driving dumb automatic cars. They don't understand gears and if you say you can drive stick, they look at you like you are a rocket scientist. Sad (or sick)!

Just one of them. He's all heart and no brain, just wants pets and to be told he's a good doggo. The other one is really smart and is always being a bit of a shithead just trying to see how much he can get away with.

If NASCAR races on road courses I think it's only fair for F1 to do an oval race or two. Maybe they can move the German GP to that oval track in Lausitz that CART used.

Id love to see Indy 500 back as a points paying round, or at least a non-points race. Slightly modify the cars (like they do for monaco or monza anyway) and run against the indy cars head to head.

Running in Indy is probably a non starter purely on cost grounds. The teams would have to come pretty drat close to building new cars to be competitive.

Again, they pretty much "Build a new car" (on an old chassis) for monaco and monza. yes it would be compex as hell, it would only work with a re-work of the regulations, but its just a fun pipe dream.

Monaco and Monza is basically a body kit and maybe a different set of brakes.

Right off the top of my head the diff, axles, brakes, oil, cooling systems and tires would all need to be different for that event if not significantly modified. Plus the teams actually want to go to Monza and Monaco whereas there's zero interest in going to an oval aside from maybe Haas.

They should do F1 at daytona, one race on the oval, one on the road course.

top 12 cars at the end of the season in the road course race

only the top 6 move on to the oval race

winner of the oval race wins the WDC

call it the playoffs

There' i fixed F1, nascar style.

Thank you, worst thread.

I use the entire forums like this. So on these forums I am Tony Montana.. and that's all you know about me. I've told you poo poo, but beyond that, I'm totally anonymous. If I'm going say measured, considered and conservative things I'll be doing that on Facebook where my post is right next to my real name which is a link to a whole pile of personal information about me. But if I've got an axe to grind, or I feel like blowing off steam.. well poo poo.. Tony Montana is having a bad day!

I actually find it a bit pathetic when people are so precious about the reputation of their avatar. I mean, most of the time Nando or a very Sad Ron Dennis is talking to me so I respond in an equally cartoonish way. I just enjoy online communities and being able to have an alter-ego that is a hyper-version of your values. Some of the poo poo I say I'd never even say to my girlfriend, she would tear me to pieces and never let me hear the end of it. But on here, hey Tony is a dick sometimes and that's that.

I've strode into Trump threads and just started unloading and after all the hemming around the topic with real people it was liberating to just rant. I'm an engineer but a senior one which means I don't actually do poo poo anymore and just oversee a team of 15 people that do stuff. I have lots of free time.

ITS ARE RACE WITH ARE HOLDEN VS ARE FORD.

This is one of the funniest things about Australian culture. We get so possessive and patriotic about two American car brands. People in certain areas (adelaide lol) will ask you straight out - holden or ford? I was the guy that would launch into a thing about how both are family sedans and gently caress you

edit: holy poo poo, F1 cars on an oval?! wtf.. go back and watch the video of Nige talking about the difference between his two cars. Then remember both disciplines have advanced by decades.

I found out today Prost was very nearly considering the Ligier drive in 1992. He had pretty good things to say about the JS37 surprisingly. I always thought the car was kinda a dud considering its engine but I guess old rear end Boutsen and Comas were not that great.

Dernie said he tested with them and absolutely humiliated Boutsen because he was friends with Senna, went two seconds faster than him in testing and supposedly Guy would mark out where they'd be on the grid every qualifying session after that.
