Best good/bad race movies are the Death Race series (I think I’ve only seen 1 and 2)

I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?



The best race movie is REDLINE.
It's closer to Wacky Races on crack than something serious though.

Not what ever this Redline thing is though.

quote:

Daniel Sadek, who made Redline, was a third-grade dropout from Lebanon. After coming to America, he sold cars and eventually founded the subprime lending firm Quick Loan Funding. Sadek’s take-home earnings eventually reached $5 million a month. He used the bucks to buy several homes in SoCal and Vegas, build up his collection of supercars, and feed his ravenous desire for gambling. Basically, he made Redline to show off his car collection and his fiancé.

Quick Loan Funding folded in the wake of the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis, but not before racking up record profits. Sadek heavily borrowed money against expected profits from Redline, which then tanked, making $8.3 million against $33 million in production and marketing costs.

Redline and Quick Loan Funding was such a clown show that CNBC’s House of Cards used it as an example of the immoderation of the pre-meltdown mortgage market. Sadek lost his escrow and lending licenses over withdrawing millions from his corporate accounts to gamble in Vegas and was eventually sued by Bellagio and Wells Fargo over unpaid debts and repeated cash advances done at resorts worldwide. He was listed by Vanity Fair as number 86 in their 100 to Blame for the economic crisis, calling him “Predator Zero in the subprime-mortgage game.”

The rear end in a top hat that made it is even a pantomime villain like Bernie, such passione for racing.

How do you spend $33m on that trash.

They made No Country For Old Men for $10m less.

$22m on enough narcotics to convince yourself that the film is not absolute garbage

Of course Ferrari International Assistance would find a flimsy excuse to cancel a race and prevent McLaren from taking 3rd in the WCC

Oh i didn't realise they measure the plank wear from the metal skidblock inserts, the last time someone was DQ'd from it, which i think was Schumacher in 90-whatever, i remember they had to use like macro photos to prove the wear from little scratches. No reason not to test them all, it seems a pretty simple test..

anyone have/know where to get charts that show the difference between f1, f2, and f3 in terms of speed around tracks/corners, sector times, g-forces felt by the driver

I just wanna see how big of a difference there is between the 3 formulas particularly the jump from f2 -> f1
