I've had the GRC alongside the Supra for 3 years now. The GRC functions as a daily and is good at being a jack of all trades car. Engaging and a good driver's car, is practical, not too difficult to drive, the core model was reasonably priced for an AWD hatchback back in 2023, etc. But on the...

Both Lewis and Max gave 2 thumbs up when asked about if they were happy McLaren starting on the inters in the post-race press conference. McLaren still have that midfield team mentality with some strategy calls.

I still question it being a good drive. He was outpaced by the Mercs and McLarens as expected, and only beat the Ferraris because Charles binned it and Lewis had damage from the start from Colapinto. We also didn't really get to see Verstappen vs Gasly in a decent Alpine. With how durable hard...

Yeah, way too much Max glazing going on. That was largely a bad drive. Spun out and got hugely lucky his car wasn't collected as a bumper ornament at the start, and then, a lot of his passes were dirty and would've been investigated as forcing others off track if it was anyone else. 5th was a...

Looked like the compilations I've seen of people binning it in the F1 game -- Miami chicane, Monaco out of the tunnel, and Baku castle section

I've had it around 1/2 tank (3-4 bars down)

Suzuka is a problematic track for F1. It's great for qualifying, but awful for racing. It's just too narrow for modern cars to pass, and there's few braking zones to get moves done. China and Australia offer more options for passing. I think we're going to have problems with these regs on...

Apparently Mercedes adjusted the suspension setup between practice and qualifying which caused oversteer that George didn't like and that carried into the race. Probably the messiest race so far with the new regulations: massive overspeed causing Bearman to crash, multiple drivers saying they...

Wow, Max went full petulant child again... Refusing to fulfill an obligation of a press conference because a Guardian reporter who asked him a difficult question 4 months prior (whether Max regretted ramming George in Spain which ultimately cost him the title) was in the audience. Basically...

It's a tougher to launch with no MGU-H to get the turbo in the launch window. That's what Ferrari have been on about; their turbo is smaller which sacrifices some top end but is much easier to get spooled up for the race start. And there's a fine line between keeping the revs up and not having...

I'd say having a qualifying mode which allows for more battery collection and usage would be nice so they can go flat out in qualifying, and allow for a somewhat bigger capacity so they don't run out so early on the straights, but not too much as there needs to be some trade-off between LiCo and...

So, you know the ICE/battery split is 50/50 with these regs. Looking a bit further, there's a couple of factors about battery deployment that come into play. Cars can harvest up to 8 MJ of electrical energy to use anywhere per lap; if they're less than 1 second behind at a single detection point...

Yeah, it's a bit artificial, especially with the huge gaps between cars, but it's been more entertaining than the ground effect cars. It was nice to see so many passes at different spots, not just at the end of the straight or into turn 1. That duel between the Ferraris was so fun to watch...

My understanding is that the overheating issues in testing were due to the tightly packed chassis, similar to McLaren when they had Honda PUs, and I believe also Red Bull with Renault units. The vibration issue seems to be on Honda's design for the ICE and MGU-K. The AMR chassis probably...

I saw rumors the FIA is set to meet with the teams after China to discuss battery deployment. No idea how that's going to go. The racing did feel a bit odd just due to how powerful the overtake mode was. Overall, the race was more entertaining than I expected -- Ferrari botching the strategy...

Alonso getting shafted by Honda for the second time, Aston looks to be in really bad shape.

I don't have this recall on my 2021 B58 either

Why the GT7 overlay?

Why the swap to the new BBK?

I was visiting Malaysia last month and saw a few Supras in KL. Ngl though, I found it more interesting spotting hot hatches we don't get in the USA like the VW Scirocco and the Renault Megane RS.
