I just found out about Cassiopea today. Is this band similar?

Definitely way more EWI used in T-Square's stuff. Casiopea seems more "traditional" bass sounds.

Hey, discord people want to know if anyone is black in here.

I don't know why probably best not to answer probably a discrimiantion lawsuit or something is brewing but any takers? Black below the waist is not a valid answer either.

There are black and mixed-race people in this surprisingly diverse thread yes. AMA that time in the 90s where I tried to straighten my sister's hair with an iron.

Depends on the weekend, it's about 5-6 regulars plus a bunch of people that come out when they feel like it.

Mostly I'm just sick of Rotax's sealed engine formula that's sealed in name only. Now there's a new spec piston for 2018 that's "equal or better" than existing ones for the low low price of $400.

Let's take a look at Super Formula aka Formula Nippon and see how the two engine manufacturers of Toyota & Honda are doing, hm?

quote:

Red Bull protege Pierre Gasly says he's banking on Honda to deliver a performance boost that will allow him to challenge for a maiden podium finish in the second half of the Super Formula season.

Toyota-powered teams have enjoyed a significant advantage over their Honda counterparts in 2017, having won all four races held so far.

By contrast, only once has a Honda runner stood on the podium this year, when Gasly's Mugen teammate Naoki Yamamoto finished second in the Suzuka season opener.

While Gasly takes optimism from his season-best fifth at Fuji, he says the 20-second gap to third-placed Andre Lotterer - stemming from a 9km/h top-speed deficit - shows Honda has its work cut out to catch Toyota.

“It’s quite tough with Honda - the gap in terms of speed compared to Toyota is quite big,” Gasly, who is currently eighth in the standings, told Motorsport.com.

“I was down 9km/h at Fuji, so this makes it really tough to fight against them.

“We knew in Fuji it will be tough because it has the longest straights. We knew we would struggle and in the end we got in the top five and the best result so far.

“Hopefully Honda can make the step during the season, for the next races, to improve the package.

It all spawned from the Channel 101 series Doc and Mharti which I would link here but let's just say it can get pretty NSFW. Here's the wiki entry for it which is fine.

I'm rewatching some races from '82 for the second time and Detroit '82 is really weird. They red flagged the race for like an hour due to Patrese's car fire (???) so the race was run in two heats with the times averaged over both. Watson drove exceptionally well. Piquet DNQ'd, which was pretty drat embarrassing.

Watson probably could've been WDC in '82 if things had played out differently. Iirc he had like three consecutive retirements in the later stage of the season.

In the context of 82 its completely understandable why Prost went off on Renault in 83 for losing the championship. Ferrari should've had a WDC in '82 but equally Renault should've been there to pick up the pieces when both Ferrari drivers were taken out of the championship.

I think they're basically using the Super GT engines in SF, so, uh, yuuup that tracks. Honda have gotten lucky recently in Super GT but generally been poor the last couple years.
