I'm pretty sure Formula Ford had you use a snowmobile CVT for most of its existence, could be completely wrong though.

Alonso doing Indy has raised the tension and I'm sweating here like Honda's marketing department every time their engine explodes.

I think everybody here aside from the retards (EDIT: NOT ME) knows that an Indycar is not radically different from any other powerful open wheel car. I'm sure Verstappen would do well in rookie orientation too. The actual practice, qualifying, and race are a different matter.

There are many videos of Mansell and more recent ones going through, in minute detail, how an F1 car and an Indy are nothing alike. It's not the car, it's the driving that makes Indy so accessible.

While I normally respect your opinion it doesn't carry the weight of somebody who is top three in the Canada GP Predictor league, and I say Max Verstappen would be in over his head and possibly die during rookie orientation.

Do like any race cars have clutch pedals today? I mean does anything in IMSA/WEC or the various GT serieses? WRC? No open wheelers out there do I assume. It's all paddles now except weird stuff like AUS V8 and NASCAR

surely the WRC car has a clutch pedal. It's got paddles instead of a stick, but surely it's got a clutch pedal.. googling now

i just thought with the bouncing around you're not going to have like four paddles like a F1 racer, you might grab the clutch rather than a gear. But no, they could do the start with a paddle just like F1 and then as long as it's out of the way you're not pushing the clutch again until you stop. edit: Dunno about WRC but all your super modern Ferraris and stuff have two pedals. Man, clutching is for poors. I am a poor

In WRC they do only the smoothest of double clutches, like you can barely tell the gear has even changed.

It's too bad My Manor couldn't have held out for one more season. They would have easily won them 10th place dollars from McLaren this year.

The theme was basically using fashion to break down the concept of ego and self. The woman it was dedicated to is Japanese but moved to France, and what makes her cool is that her designs deliberately rip the piss. Dresses with no arm holes for example. Getting it right was that woman in a ugly trench coat dress with a gigantic train, or Rhianna actually wearing one of her designs. Getting it wrong was the kardashians wearing lace onesies, or anyone who wore normally tailored outfits with Japanese accents.

iospace posted:I need your help. I'm going to be running a competition on the 28th regarding all three races, and I need a description of the Monaco GP (such as history, why it's important, etc) for the eventual thread OP. Best submission one will get featured in it (and perhaps some bonus points for it)! PM me, or if you don't have plat, quote this post with your submission. Thank you! I reckon it was either 2015 or 2016, but the thread goons contributed to their own F1 thread OP that year. I think my submission was the Monaco GP? I can't remember and I don't have archives to check so.... Never mind, I found it, 2015: Monaco (written by aequalis)  First GP - 1950 Number of Laps - 78 Circuit Length - 3.34 km Lap Record - 1:14.439 (Michael Schumacher - 2004) The Monaco GP is the second race of the "European Season" before the F1 circus goes to the European nation of Canada. Long touted as one of THE historic races to win - alongside the British, Italian and Belgian GPs - Monaco is a track that tends to be dominated by one driver during years of supremacy (Graham Hill, Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher). The circuit is not a stranger to heart break and controversy however, with a string of fatal accidents during its early years, and a string of naughty cheating Germans trying to cheat their way into Pole positions in the nought-ies. The narrow, armco-lined nature of the circuit has a tendency to produce either extremely boring, processional races, or spectacular cock-ups (usually from lovely pay drivers) resulting in multi car pile ups and lengthy safety car periods. The prestigious circuit passes through the Casino lined streets of Monte Carlo, this round of the F1 season is trying for the drivers, in which their mettle is truly tested. As a spectator, this round is a true gamble, but sometimes it pays off.  NB - some of the minor league open wheeled series tend to have races before the F1 main event, and getting some online footage of those races is a must. learnincurve posted:If you google then the only place that bothered sharing this picture was a website called "allabouthair" I did google, but I could only find photos from 2016, he had almost exactly the same get up except it was a blue overcoat. He looks like he belongs in a modern remake of Aladdin as the Genie. Also, have there ever been other F1 drivers with nose piercings? How fresh!

Weekly reminder that only one V8 supercar driver can left foot brake and he wins every week. No one else is willing to learn because it's a shitlord series full of drivers to stupid to live And they aren't costume glasses. They are his normal ones
