Formula One has been garbage since: - The British teams turned up - Wings were introduced - Drivers weren't dying every second race - The first turbo era - The V10/12 era - The V8 era - Tilkedomes

Rev. Dr. Moses P. Lester posted:What country will the German GP be in during 2017? This was a topic of heated discussion on the F1 wikipedia article a year or two ago. One might have laughed at those who, at the time, argued that the German flag should not be shown on the "TBD" placeholder of the German GP whose location had not been decided at the beginning of the season. But in light of the location chosen for the European GP, namely Baku (which was well done), in retrospect it might be premature to assume that the German GP would be in Germany. How about in the former German suburb of France?

I went to a motorsport merchandise warehouse sale last weekend. They had F1 gear from around 2008 to current year. Got my friend an Alonso Ferrari hat, since he's a big Alonso and Ferrari fan, and I got myself a 2015 Red Bull jacket for half price.

Brainwrong posted:If this new dawn means that F1 will have some sort of online pay-per-view subscription service that means I don't need Sky then I will applaud the hairy-lipped overlord. While that would be nice, but considering Carey started Fox Sports and Murdoch pretty well runs all the Pay TV networks in the world, there's going to be massive conflicts of interest there.

1500quidporsche posted:Counterpoint to the Carey praise: Fox Sports is really bad and the NFL is unwatchable due to ads and unnecessary replays. Yeah, but NFL is pretty well unwatchable no matter what. You need to replays to fill in the gaps when nothing is happening. Which is like 3/4th of the game.

Both so it could go on those buzzfeed-style "You wont BELEIVE these crazy formula 1 designs" lists with the fan car, and because i was an early member of the BIG JOHN fanclub. The twin dick car was one of the worst F1 car in recent years. It was sub McLaren-Honda levels of reliability.

Alain Post posted:I frankly don't get what people see in V8 Supercars. The racing is mostly poor and the same two teams win almost every race. Australian touring car racing was alright during the Group C/A days, but since the V8 formula I have been slowly losing interest in it. The Car of the Future platform brought in some manufacturers, but when you have Triple 8 and Whingecup/SVG combo going on, it's downright boring. Except for Whingecup's gently caress ups at recent Bathurst 1000s.
