I’ll keep an eye out on deals on that. I missed about 5 years of PlayStation content so have enough to keep myself occupied for now before I dive into the sim racing rabbit hole.

track day bro! posted:2000 euro? thats poverty spec, you need quad sli 3090's or why are you even bothering I once built a quad-sli 480 rig (which was a big hassle, because the EVGA board firmware that actually worked only worked like a ferrari, so not really) and mostly played Eve online with it. Was a good time because the whole year felt like summer in my room, temperature-wise. I think I also caused global warming with that, so I stopped and got a PS3 or 4 or something. I'm also stupid. tuo fucked around with this message at 20:55 on Jan 12, 2021 |

A lot of poo poo landed on the internet in that time, some guy got the 1/4 wind tunnel prototype of the car that never saw light (and even some actual 1/1 prototype parts planned for next season etc.). Also lot of CAD-data. The simulator was snagged up by some other racing team, but it actually was not much more than a pretty advanced simrig, so nothing like the Mercedes-poo poo that's IIRC based on airplane simulators. I'd actually have to search in what format the data I got was, but it was from a CFD setup, and was a pain in the rear end to turn back into something I could work with (I'm not into CAD, but mostly visualizing stuff, so I mostly work with Cinema4D and Maya), and even worse to turn into something you could print piece by piece on a cheap, really cheap office 3d printer.

I got my mother a Le Creuset pot for her birthday (in two weeks). She has a big one, but once said she also would really like to have the smaller, shallow one. It's red though....red was cheaper than the others. Thanks for listening.

I’m watching a bit of ‘97 over lunch and gee the driving standards are pretty lousy, at least early on. The field quality aside from Schumacher and some of the Senna/Prost/Piquet era legacy drivers (like Berger, Alesi, and Hakkinen) is pretty poor. The fact that 38 year old Berger was hammering guys almost half his age is funny. Villeneuve is terrible at starts, and Frentzen and Irvine are pretty unimpressive. Lol at Alesi ignoring team instructions to pit in Austria and running out of fuel. Panis is impressive so far but I think his performance may have been flattered by the Bridgestone tires and Mugen engine. Frond fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Jan 12, 2021 |

Berger winning in the twilight of his career, after missing 3 races, was pretty damning about the state of the field in my opinion.

The late 90s field is always a bit weird to me because even the big names were making massive gently caress ups (Mika having a legit televised mental break down, Schumacher stalling at a title deciding race) and then you have HHF who criminally underperformed at Williams and is suddenly a title contender at loving Jordan of all teams.

HHF is generally awful in the first 3 races of ‘97. Two of those retirements weren’t his fault really but still. His Brazil performance was a joke.

I suspect there was some sort of rift between him and Head and that just bled over into his performance. Watching that Formula 3 Brundle versus Senna documentary I got the impression Jordan was really big on driver psychology and building them up, I think that probably went a long way towards HHF turning things around.

My rebuttal to anyone who suggests the Prost/Senna/Piquet/Mansell/Lauda II era not as good as everyone makes it out to be is to go watch some of the 95-00 era races and get back to me. Yeeesh.

I followed open wheel back when there was a race here in Denver through Champ Car - I could watch the race from my apartment - but when they imploded in 2006 I sorta stopped following. I've been getting back into F1 a lot lately, and I was just interested in seeing what was out there in CAD. I do a lot of CAD/GIS work for environmental surveying through my work, and it would be more fun to play with a model car than, say, a river crossing.

I still like Montoya - he was one of the first who could match Michael on raw pace after Senna died - the other two being Raikkonen and Alonso. Remember when Toyota paid him like 420 million dollars to lead their team? Oh brother. Frond fucked around with this message at 22:48 on Jan 12, 2021 |

I don’t know if it was during a formula GP but my dad was there the year someone stole a greyhound bus from the parking lot and drove it into a mud pit known as “the bog” where everyone threw rocks at it until it was set on fire. He said he went there every year for years and never once saw or even knew what race was happening lol.

He had his hand on the title in ‘99 and couldn’t nail it home, all the while just shrugging his shoulders and saying he wasn’t Schumacher. I dunno why in the gently caress they thought he was ever going to be the guy to get a difficult project off the ground.

Tire warmers making their first mentioned on-screen appearance at Britain 87. The four way battle in 86 and 87 between Mansell, Prost, Piquet, and Senna adds a lot of spice, especially when Mansell and Senna are wrecking each other every few races. Why does this announcer call everyone little. He's called Prost "the diminutive Frenchman" for like five seasons. He said similar things about Arnoux, and now just referenced "little Teo Fabi." I wonder if Senna insisted that Nakajima get the on board camera (he's had it most of the races) as a subtle sabotage just like he blocked getting a decent teammate the season before. bgreman fucked around with this message at 09:17 on Jan 13, 2021 |
