Grand Prix Rejects

Mental, but bless this race, it's never dull in Montreal.

I wouldn't blame Seb for struggling to contain his anger. After all I'd be angry if my car suffered a problem every race too http://thepitwalk.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/ebil-webber.jpg%3Fw%3D600%26h%3D400 My nomination goes to Sauber unfortunately. Sutil looked motivated, binned it. Gutierrez was...

This race, holy crap guys!

Mercedes have taken great steps to address the noise issue in F1. First Rosberg tried a new exhaust, and there's been a constant high-pitched whine from Hamilton's car for two races now.

dragonsteincole

Hamilton's statements that he's ' struggling ' sound somewhat familiar... I wish he would get punched by an onlooker, every single radio message from him was moaning about one thing or the other or just moaning at his race engineer. For someone who's doing pretty bloody well this year he looks like...

Here we see a failed mating attempt. Sadly, it is unlikely this Minardi will survive the winter.

That Lotus appears to be a photoshop, as one of the *ahem* 'flaps' is longer than the other one.

But I suppose if a Lotus and a McLaren crash head on, you'll end up with a GP2 car in 9 months.

This has been quite the off-season. Not since 2009 has there been so much going on in the 'lull' between seasons.

She couldn't do any worse than some of the awful drivers listed on this site.

Another forumite to have recently changed his user name?!

I've always had this username, unless you're mistaking me with someone else?

They are the best. I challenge anyone to find a piece of merchandise more obscure than Life F1 curtains

(there is a matching duvet set in storage somewhere too).

dragonsteincole

I think I have one of the reject-iest pieces of merchandise from years ago. In a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" situation, I have a pair of F1 curtains in my room from about 1991/2. There's the various famous teams of the 80s and 90s like Williams, McLaren, Ferrari, Benetton, Life ... w...

There's a cracking featured article on Autosport.com right now about a very intriguing situation thats forming. Its quite a complex article concerning the usage of the Lotus name and brand/license, made even more so with the announcement that both Lotus Racing/Team Lotus (the F1 team) and Group Lotu...

"Battle has been resumed between..." is another one to add to the Legard Bingo Card of Crapness. As for replacements? Ever since 1996, the last year of F1 being shown on Eurosport, i've wanted Ben Edwards to have gotten a proper chance to commentate on the F1. Although I have a lingering d...

Best part of it is that it was planned from the start, seeing as the rollbar is part of the homologated chassis, and there may be some advantages to having it in such a way. Whether they'll be the must-have thing next season remains to be seen, but Schumacher's 3rd in P2 seems to suggest Merc's upda...

Amazing lap, isn't this something like only the 5th or 6th car to lap Nord in under 7 minutes?

Also, funny you mention rFactor, I happened to do a race around there a few weeks ago with the BMW Procar mod, with only auto-shifting and clutch on. Scary place, well worth the go though.

dragonsteincole

My apologies for not having done any of the recent ones, been way distracted by other leagues and races for both rFactor and F1C. 9th in an 8-hour endurance race with two friends in rFactor, and last week won my first online championship in my own car ^^ Hopefully I should be able to get back into t...

VHS vs. Beta (or Blu-Ray vs. HD-DVD for the younger ones): wing mirrors in the "outboard" position I believe those are being banned for the upcoming Chinese GP (or after it). That's the point. "This award goes to innovative car design concepts killed off for some reason or other"...

Having watched most of the race on Sky Sports 4, I must comment on a fantastic opening race to the season. I had serious doubts over the track, but that race had everything. Sato (for 5 seconds), overtaking, crashes, a thunderstorm, HAIL, cars going 3 and 4 wide down that epic long back straight, an...

For the handfull of laps he actually managed in Q1, I think Karun was pretty good. Got close to Senna who had far more time in the car (comparatively), and even though it'll be a tough race for the both of them, I feel a lot more optimistic for them now.

dragonsteincole

Huzzah for the 1990 Phoenix short review! Jean Alesi vs Senna, a Minardi on the front row for the race! And Eurobrun got a whole 30 seconds of airtime when Roberto Moreno was being lapped! Truely a great race

dragonsteincole

Hindsight being the wonderful thing it is, my major disappointments would be the driver moves that never happened for one reason or another. Derek Warwick/jean Alesi driving for Williams, Mika Hakkinen returning with Williams or BAR in the early 2000s, or Damon Hill landing a drive at Ferrari for 19...

100% for everything, but this is a clean version of F1C i've installed just for this league, so nothing aside from my carshape and livery has been altered.

dragonsteincole

Congratulations to them for getting a car and what looks like a solid driver lineup. With Chandhok and Senna onboard they may have a better chance of securing additional funding, now that there is an actual car there - which I might ass looks rather swish even with that primer-grey colour.

So I've finally have to drive the Jordan... so I will have a car advantage. I fear I will REALLY need it, specially in the rain What weather do we have to select for F1C 99-02, "rain" or "monsoon"? I guess it's "monsoon", but as you posted "wet" I can't be su...

I found £10 in my coat pocket today that I don't remember having, was well chuffed until Peter Windsor came in and snatched it, running off down the street shouting "I HAVE FUNDING!"

True story.

dragonsteincole

Sorry if I missed this in a previous thread, but what exactly is the rules regarding qualifying? f1C you can set the grid position manually and skip qualifying if it's a pre-set thing.

Clarification that missing races will result in there being penalties for teams, yesterday's speak of no penalties seems to have been crossed-wires somewhere.

Feb 25th is going to be an amazing day.

From articles in Autosport and technical specs on the cars themselves, far from being rejectworthy, this looks like it's shaping up to a solid race series. Coloni himself described the cars themselves as being 'Mansell cars', which I think equated to tons of power and being a proper driver's car. Ac...

http://www.virginracing.com/cars/#/video I think Timo is in Tim O'Glock mode, good video as it's maybe a little more personal than some of the other team launches so far. Plus more to see of the car, which definately looks like it obeys the "If it looks right, then it is right." adage.

I will make an offer here that might seem crazy... crazy awesome! I'm a massive fan of F1 Challenge 99-02, and have about 2 years of making edits, tweaks and league mods for it. What i'm proposing is that I could make a mod that includes nothing but reject cars, either repainted liveries, or the act...

I find it a little worrying about the state of the forum that most people are all too eager to instantly rubbish and kick someone or something when it's down, under the thin veil of "it'll be something new for the website." It's a little out of place and actually a little worrying that peo...

I've mentioned it somewhere before, but touring car door-banger Anthony Reid was very close to getting into F1. Just read that tiny snippet it has about that, and it's still enough to make me feel gutted for him. It's not like most other cases where the test didn't go well or there was only the ill...

Speaking of characters, it would have been interesting to see Paul Tracy mixing with the long faces in the paddock.

dragonsteincole

I love that though. Utter tankcar if I ever saw one. And the 1996 Ferrari wasn't totally disagreeable, when the B version had that pregnant bump under the nose.
