This collaboration is likely why the B58 comes so highly rated. BMW tends to over-engineer components and designs. We have a water intercooler which is genius, but it also makes it much harder for a company like AMS or ETS to give us a simple upgrade.
Toyota has a fantastic reputation for...
For 14 years I've used my Logitech GT wheel and pedals from my PS3. Now I'm upgrading to a Fanatec setup. Black Friday got me.
I race using a Quest 2 headset so I prefer Project Cars to Assetto Corsa simply because VR support is terrible in ACs menus. I hear ACC is pretty awesome so it might...
I'm not suggesting 20 seconds for Max and 5 for everyone else. I was suggesting that letting them choose a penalty that doesn't affect them feels like they can avoid punishment. Forcing them to give the place back would feel more fair to me.
" If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that...
Yes it was my reply to you. You quoted my post before I edited it. I realized it was a shit reply and hoped to sneak in a less snarky reply before you had to read it.
I agree with nearly all your points. Like I said, it FELT inadequate because it didn't end up punishing Max. No debate from me...
And yes, wasn't trying to hide what I said, just realized it was unconstructive and tried to be less petty ;) You're acting like the only time Max would have given the place back is when he served the penalty. That's not the case. He should have given it back much earlier, meaning he would...
edit: My issue is that we can't really measure how much wear and heat Leclerc took being behind Max and passing him. Max didn't suffer that same tire wear and heating on brakes and engine because he never gave the place back and had to follow. Maybe he would have passed Leclerc two laps later...
Absolutely. That's why I qualified my opinion by saying it didn't "feel" harsh enough because Max essentially got away with it. Put that aside for a second, I'd much rather see them MAKE the driver give the place back. It might feel unfair if they decide 10 minutes later that it was an...
In a way, yes? It depends on how you want penalties to work. A two place grid drop affects Max more than someone like Bottas. A 5 second penalty affected George more than Max.
In this case the penalty didn't feel like enough because the circumstances of the race let Max get back within reach...
Echo what Jmanlevan says about composition. I'd love to see you crop that first photo to remove some of both the ground and sky to make it more a banner style photo.
Otherwise great lighting and focus. The background could be blurred a little more with a bit more bokeh, but that would need a...
After she threw herself against the car we expected a big scratch or damage to the body panels. It sounded awful. I think what happened is that she folded the mirror and it snapped back into place, causing a loud 'clunk' noise both times. She also popped open the gas cap, which was easy...
I have to say, Max clearly ran Charles off the road on turn 1 and should have been made to give the place back. His flippant response to the penalty and the fact it didn't affect the outcome felt unsatisfying. He basically gave the stewards the middle finger and carried on.
I guess at a...
My brother was in town visiting and yesterday was a cool but sunny day - so we took the car for a drive.
On our way back home we came across a woman stumbling around in the middle of the road. It was a two lane, 80kph zone and there was quite a bit of traffic. She strayed into the middle of...
Late to the party but yes mine came with the clips and yes I used them. It keeps the mats nice and secure. I can't say they're absolutely required but they don't hurt.
By the way, I really appreciate that we can discuss this like adults on this forum. I've been in some pretty toxic online communities and this one has never felt that way. Even when people disagree it ends with "I say good day, sir!".
I'm not really a fan of Max winning every race, any more...
For me, it WAS a just and fitting end to the season because Lewis got 26 points in Silverstone I don't feel he deserved. A 10 second penalty for sending your only rival into the wall is no penalty at all. By itself the decision at Abu Dhabi was probably wrong. When you look at the season as a...
