And yes, you actually need to go have a rest if you've driven for too long, though you can turn that mechanic off if you like.

I don't think there's a "gently caress with the tachograph" DLC, at least not yet.

Do you have to check your truck for illegal immigrants in eurotruck?
I live about 2 K from a big gas station, that is a last stop for trucks before they drive to Calais/UK.
Helicopters circle the area almost on a daily basis and they've cut down all the trees around the station.

I'm in my seventh hour of meetings this week as part of this loving lean management training horseshit where we propose and discuss "Continuous improvements" as a team and vote on them in the most retarded rear end janky system every conceived. 90% of these ideas are loving stupid as hell and as a team the highest priority one is loving forcing adoption of some lovely spreadsheet on our clients because we use a program from 1980s.

I've thought about it and here are my 100% exclusive thoughts on Lance Stroll:

There is overwhelming evidence that shows Lance Stroll is a supremely talented young driver. He's still a bit rough around the edges, but he's had a very promising first season in a pretty terrible Williams. Hopefully with Paddy Lowe's influence the car situation will improve and Stroll will be able to deliver more results as he improves, which of course he will.

It was always going to be the case that people would say he's only there because of his father's money and that's fair enough. To a certain extent, he is, but he's also delivered results in junior categories and to be the youngest ever podium-finisher in between a Red Bull and a Mercedes on a power track is nothing short of remarkable.

Bernie actively made F1 worse through deliberate inaction, being a technological dinosaur, tanking viewership by selling the rights to pay tv and the races to dictators of shitholes. Worst of all he continually caved to Ferrari and subsidised their incompetence for years

We are on the brink of witnessing the worst mismanagement of F1 since it's inception. Liberty is going to make Bernie look the British at Trafalgar when they're done.

There is no evidence that this is the case. Apart from this logo silliness everything they have done so far has been an improvement. Even the stupid driver intros for the USGP was instigated by the race promoters not Liberty.

I'm sure they're going to do some bad things and make some mistakes but there's no way they'll be worse than Bernie would have been if he was still in charge

Reminder that he wouldn’t allow formula 1 VHS tapes or DVDs to be sold because he felt that it would devalue the TV rights. Ferrari had numerous screaming fits about being allowed to sell “best of” tapes but he still refused. Only reason why we have the season reviews is because the FIA have it as a condition and they get to keep the profits from them,

Bernie sucked and brought us a lot of garbage races and tracks but I don't care if liberty has to go through some dumb tech and advertising bullshit if it means I get to watch F1 on whatever device I want and the racing is good.

If some idiot television exec pays a gajillion dollars to put little camera knobs so that 6 dorks with helmet sized headsets can watch grosjean cook his brakes and slam in to a wall in VR then that's good. It (hopefully) means more money to invest in good things. Take advantage of overpaid nerds as much as possible imo.

VR is going to be like the 3DS where after a while people realise that as awesome as it is it actually gives you massive headaches, and they end up having to bring out a second device or expensive app that allows you to watch it normally and can move the camera on a touch screen.
