Dang that looks promising.

Part of me wants for there to be a new chassis (or several) after six dang years because there's only so much you can do with that tub, but I know that Dallara probably doesn't wanna make a new one and don't fix what ain't broke etc.

That part of me is also the part that wants 500 quali laps in the 240s and 1000 bhp engines and Canopies :ssh: so I shouldn't listen to that part tbh

I'd prefer a few mandatory pit stops instead of losing folks due to tyres exploding and crashing out. Seems that Firestone might've gotten the compound a bit off. Just as long as this doesn't become normal.

Slight nonsensical rambling here, but with the news that F1 will be running the halo next season, I kind of hope it eventually tanks the F1 video game sales to the point that Codemasters considers making an Indycar game.

(Seriously though, I do believe a high quality Indycar videogame would do wonders as far as encouraging new fans)

I... I want you to show your work as to how halos in F1 cars will completely destroy sales for the F1 game. :psyduck:

All I want is Alonso to win a 500, and then a Le Mans drive that has both JPM and Alonso on it so they can both knock out the triple.

I'd say an LMP1 drive but... uh... :rip:

edit: also modify the triple so it's just a monaco win and not a championship win because I forgot JPM never won the title.
