I've heard F1 can put a race in London if they lower the price enough. There's no way in hell Khan will ever go for it, but it's a possibility.

I think Liberty have shown their conciliatory "we want everyone to like us" face. Now it's time to show their "if you cross us, we won't just knee-cap you, we'll rip those fuckers off and encase them in perspex so everyone getting the same idea knows what we're willing to do" face.

eye balls and spots on the track.

usually i use the movement from roll out to sync up, and then trim it out once i have it synced, if i gently caress up the roll out and start the cameras after that i try to time out passing something stationary on the track, or maybe a track material change.

A noise cue is usually the best way to sync this stuff. In a regular car you can just beep the horn. Maybe you can yell something ridiculous for this.

If Silverstone goes there will be another track in England/Britain immediately put in. Would be ridiculous not to have a race there, from a financial standpoint alone.

There literally aren't any. There's no other grade 1s and the only grade 2s one is impossible to upgrade and one already went bust trying.

The BRDC feel they got screwed on the deal they made with Bernie, so they exercised their break clause with the knowledge that Liberty want a British GP and there's nowhere else host it so they can negotiate a better deal. The current deal has the price going up hugely every year and they don't get government subsidies like the other tracks who were dealing with Bernie. They would have had the same issues the German GP has had and there wouldn't have been a British GP beyond the next couple of years regardless.

Yeah I was also wondering what they mean by 'London'.
I really can't think of a part of London that is visually interesting enough and would not cause massive chaos when a race would be held there.

That and politically it's hard to justify. In Brussels they decided to not go through with the formula E plans,
on the grounds that it might give youngsters the wrong idea about racing in the streets.
Imagine letting road rage seb doing laps through your city at the taxpayers expense. I don't see it happening.
