The cars can apparently go quite quickly but the tracks aren't built for speed

It was Monza with a Williams that was the fastest car in a straight line but couldn't corner. Turns out "beating Latifi" is not the most predictive characteristic of immediate success

Beating latifi -> being latifi

Yeah they could top out somewhere around 190 if allowed to I think. Wouldn't run as long on the battery of course, the calculations rely on something like 25-30% extra capacity from regen even at those speeds.

Super Formula is real loving good, Oyu is a gun and Lawson is going to take the seat of whichever Alpha Tauri driver Red Bull wants to eject next year. Their new car for this year is leading to very good action.

I don't really get the hype for Iwasa. IMO Lawson is the top tier talent that should get the next AT seat. I've always been mega impressed with his pace.

The key to F2 is not to try and spot the next standout talent, but just enjoy them binning themselves in moves that would be considered stupid in even the most rudimentary of racing video games.

not to disagree with this (i have enjoyed this part of f2 specifically this year) but also the f2 races have been more entertaining than the f1 races


i'm watching the indycar "gmr"(?) grand prix which is on the road course at indy. it's pretty good. spec cars (or whatever you call it) seem to produce more entertaining racing(?)

Oh hell yeah, this year I've made the effort of putting all the F2 and F3 sessions into my diary because they are far more entertaining than the F1 sessions. But it doesn't matter how good you are at winning a spec series, if you don't get into the right drive in a non-spec series it doesn't matter for poo poo.

Verstappen, for example, was not dominant at all in F3000 but to give him his due he was insanely entertaining at throwing his car around and look where he is now. Meanwhile, the winner of that series that year is charismatic no-mark Esteban Ocon (who Verstappen hilariously tried to push around a few years back lol).

Standard chassis, some places they can change (mostly the shocks) but also one of two engine suppliers. Between this and Super Formula, the actual racing action is probably better than F1.

I haven’t watched it for a while but it was absolutely mind-blowing stuff in the mid-90s and probably holds up given how proper IMAX films were shot.

Logan Sargent doesn’t even move the needle for me as an American. If you want me to break out the flags and hoot and holler every F1 race, give “Stingray Rob” a seat.

To be fair that's mostly because F3000 stopped existing when he was 8 years old.

Let’s not say things we can’t take back. Will Power is kind of an all-timer of a racing name, plus he’s a proper maniac off the track.

And Max skipped a lot of the ladder, only spending a year in old pre-merger European F3 before going to Toro Rosso.

Yeah, it's really not hard to still see the angry little kids in karts in F2, they're small enough to easily drive 3 abreast on an F1 track which can only encourage the kind of passing that leads to spectacular results and a good number of current F1 drivers haven't shaken off that mentality. So why not go to the source?
