Nah, not worth reading if you missed the liveposting during the race.

pik_d posted:Add me up, and if there's too many for the drivers we can do the teams separately as well. Cool. Added that in and a few 'guidelines' or whatver. I have no intention of doing the actual OP but am happy to help organize the bio entries and do the random draws (which will be truly random).

George Zimmer posted:I'll go in on the driver intro This puts us at 19 goons and only 18 drivers at the moment (that's counting McLaren), so at some point we'll have to figure out how to split up the team bios and the driver bios.

Lots of goons signed up to do driver & team bios: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18BeDKUTb0dRKDdVdtUo349RIq1so7ancp1kE9WpHpRU/edit?usp=sharing We have enough right now to do the 9 existing teams, if Caterham & Marussia are in next year we will probably need more goons or some goons will be asked to double up. If you guys actually want track bios then more goons will need to sign up, or some of you guys & gals will need to double up. If you only want to do one type of bio (e.g., you don't want to do a driver but want to do a team), post itt or PM me or something.

Yeah it's not great, but there are a lot of bugs that have to be sorted out with a new engine/battery hybrid system to fit into a car previously designed for a completely different system. Could have gone better but it's a shakedown run. Are the teams allowed to have a 'rolling road' setup at their factories, to simulate bumps and things with the engine running and wheels turning? Or does that even exist? Are they allowed a car dyno like some tuning & performance shops have?

Got to do a lap of Donington yesterday, a friend's father (Mick Hill) passed away and the funeral procession (complete with hearse & coffin) did a lap of honour in his memory. Taking the kerbs through the Craner Curves and the old hairpin in a bog-standard Renault Megane was fun! Best send-off ever. e: the procession got in the local paper: http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/FUNERAL-Ex-racing-driver-Mick-Hill-makes-final/story-25131736-detail/story.html#1RHZE3jxhzsHuKvM.01 krushgroove fucked around with this message at 13:48 on Dec 4, 2014 |

They may be, but I do plan to watch the next America's Cup, the last one was pretty cool to watch, and FOM/FIA/F1 could learn a lot from the on-screen tech they use.

Yeah it's a game of staying ahead of the rules, really. Also it looks like the next America's Cup isn't until 2017...what the hell are we going to talk about in this thread until the start of the season?
