I was with my ex when Singapur happened, goddamit that was tragic. I still remember her poor face and my yelling at the tv.

Red Bull banned me from their Twitter account because I asked if they were going to swap a fetus in if one of their drivers has a bad race. Good luck.

There is more potential to annoy Toro Rosso. They are like Sauber in that absolutely no one is a fan of Toro Rosso outside of Toro Rosso with this driver line up. You just know I am going to laugh so very hard when you guys are leaving a couple of Renaults behind you on the track 😁. Lets hope the high hopes will pay out. Cant wait to see this years beauty. Only 12 days remaining before the reveal 😱. is from a PR rep who hasnt had his spirit crushed yet.

If you fully expect a failure to happen, can it truly be called random?

This is funny but tech companies do this every day. Netflix has a massive system to do this to ensure that their poo poo is always up and that the redundancies are correct.

It makes sense for alot of situations but it's just such a loving defeatist attitude for a racing team to have that I love it.

The fact that they weren't doing this before is probably why they lost. Joest didn't win a bunch of races because their cars were bulletproof, they won because they were insanely good at fixing problems (among other things).

I would partially agree to that and also say it's down to design, there's a way to build a car that is easy to service quickly that Toyota very blatantly hasn't done.

My favorite part of that stupid engine was that they thought they were really gonna get a leg up on the two stroke guys by using some exotic materials to lighten and lower the really high CoG of the four stroke and the two stroke teams all just shrugged and did the same thing negating any benefit it brought.

One of the Porsches did too. One had a total loss of power and the other was unsighted by an ?LMP2? car coming out of the pits and Kamui tried to drive it back too fast and shredded the entire rear section of the car. Both Porsches had the same problem iirc, but one made it back to the pits and was able to be fixed. 1500quidporsche posted:That's happened across multiple years. Was it 2014 where they were trying to get the driver to repair the car and giving him instructions by cell phone? It's every year. I think it was Lotterer who was getting "how to restart the engine" instructions over his headset as he tried to limp down Mulsanne this year.

My wife and I finally got around to watching the McLaren doc. She thinks Zak Brown looks like a 'potato covered in grease' and that the McLaren watch looks like poo poo. Also a 'why does it sound like poo poo' when they finally crank the engine clever girl

GOOD TIMES ON METH posted:Also a 'why does it sound like poo poo' when they finally crank the engine clever girl I'm going to defend Honda here and say that from personal experience any time I've swapped in an engine it was basically to confirm the thing ran and see what was wrong and needed to be fixed, I can't blame Honda for it sounding like poo poo when it sounded like poo poo to begin with and they redesigned the engine. Especially since they don't design or handle any of the chassis side electronics and they need to make their engine communicate with it. When I swapped in a twin cam on the Scirocco I lost 2nd and 4th gear and the ignition was hosed. When I put my rotary (that was rebuilt by a shop that does nothing but rotary engines) back in I did about 10km and really low speeds where it seemed to run a little lean and then it wouldn't start back up. Turns out the guy who's only job is rebuilding these engines day in and day out had forgot to put the fuel injector seals moulded into the housing back in, this was after a double digit long email chain of me asking him what I needed to be taken off the engine when I gave it to him and him nonchalantly saying that it didn't really matter.

The V6 engines just kinda sound like poo poo. But that Honda did sound worse than the average poo poo. Yet everyone in the documentary was like "SOUNDS RAD." Yeah sounds like rad poo poo
