Human Grand Prix posted:I have a new theory that the original CART was simply a continuation of F5000. I wonder what the US racing landscape would look like had it survived. NASCAR definitely wouldn't be as popular because they capitalized on The Split, though it also may not be as stupid as it is now with the dumbass "playoffs". Open wheel would probably be more popular than it is now, though it's hard to imagine how much more. Probably more broadcast TV races and more people in attendance at the oval races with bigger fields. Though who knows if they would have gone back to a spec series with big tobacco leaving or not. That hurt everyone.

Just ordered this guy. https://www.canadapost.ca/shop/f1-tm-in-canada/p-342143.jsf?execution=e3s1 Seems like the framed ones are limited to 750. I'd love that Gilles Villeneuve one and the Jackie One is apparently sigend and $200. loving A, Canada Post. I don't see Lance Stroll being commerated like this anytime soon.

Yeah F5000 pretty much died because CART became the premier open-wheel road racing series in the US.

I'm pretty sure someone's already mentioned it but in the UK all cigarettes now come in the same black packaging with images of smokers and diseased organs with massive health warnings and the brand in tiny letters somewhere

What aesthetics are these because I can't think of any positive one? iospace posted:I always find it interesting that the two industries in the US that seem to have a lot of smokers are A. medical, and B. restaurant, both of which are industries that require a lot of cleanliness. Like nearly all my coworkers smoke at work. I know someone said stress, but gently caress, people in the medical field should know how awful smoking is. Why are they giving medical advice?

If you squint, you can just see the warning.

Because the understand that smoking is bad for you? Unless you've been a smoker you're really not going to understand the mentality behind it. It's why I kinda laugh at all the anti smoking campaigns but I've known zero people who've quit smoking because of it.

Feels Villeneuve posted:In general I've found that people primarily quit smoking because it gets too expensive. For me that was part of it but really I also slowly came to the conclusion that I didn't like waking up and feeling like poo poo every day. I don't think anybody truly quits unless they want to because the price was the driver for two years of quit attempts but waking up an realising that I genuinely hated smoking killed the habit overnight.

For those who are interested, Nando was the first one to break 100 laps today, or half the distance of the actual race. His engine has seen over 500 miles under load and hasn't crapped out on him.

That move Sainz pulled out of the pits, going on the grass, is showing up on my facebook feed as I train to work. It was totally retarded. He was on the outside, behind and tries to push past on the grass? You might be quick Carlos but that demonstrates you not thinking and the red mist descending. Not something to be proud of
