Grand Prix Rejects

just learned that Dixon is a lap down! never thought i would see that at 16th and Georgetown!

nome66

30 laps left.... restarts suck so far. grid standing start ruined by launch control gaff. jpm becoming a midfielder.
herta cars up front. not everything is negative about this race, i suppose

nome66

wow... um... that was EXACTLY what i thought would happen.

nome66

I have not seen any particularly revealing shots of the track yet. Yes, onboard footage but I am still not clear on how the track will do with the whole field jamming down into the new first and second corners. Also, the chicane everybody wanted in 2005. That is all I need to say about the final sec...

what sort of powerplant is in the Rebellion this season?

nome66

they should have stuck with red on white liveries.

also, could you imagine this thing's v10 paired with a KERS setup? powaahhhh

nome66

does PENSKE have any say in the title sponsor? because that's two of theirs in a row

nome66

the way that young man scott put down the power at the final hairpin is something i see translating into some interesting maneuvers at Symmons.

nome66

wow! what a final lap in race 2!! i'm rooting for volvo for this entire season now. before i was unsure because i thought maybe they would have to work out the same kinks in performance as nissan and mercedes. also i thought they'd have one amazing run like nissan in winton, but i guess that'll be t...

nome66

hopefully with nascar, they bring over the USCC and related feeders. i get sick a little inside when i have to say "bob varsha works for fox sports 1"

nome66

which is why we need Speed Channel back! just the idiocy they brought over by switching the channel to mostly kickboxing is just immense.
it's nearly as bad as their news network.

nome66

i'm thinking they were sort of flipping a bird to the rules by going this extreme.
easily my favorite nose this year. a close second to AMG Mercedes because it is the cleanest looking in my opinion.

nome66

whatever they were both pretty aggressive with or without fenders.
as proven by their nascar antics....

(i know this video has a 'heated' opinion, but it is aggressive driving from jacque)

i thought they'd at least use a turbo flat six diesel at the smallest, or a redesign of the v8 they used for a short while. this is a waaayyyyyy left field move for them. i certainly wasn't expecting it. hopefully this wing of VW-AG shows audi what's up whilst missing two cylinders Porsche have act...

let me stop you right there. Drum Brakes, Dodge Challenger, and Any speed above 20mph. it was going to crash sooner or later lol

follow the leader or(depending of the length of the straights) a draft session

nome66

the team texts the driver to drive more aggressively, so during the caution, the driver plays flappy bird

nome66

well that completely answers my question....ssss

nome66

now i am intrigued. i wonder what torro rosso's steering wheel screen looks like when it's turned on? what OS does it run? does it even have an OS? is it wirelessly connected to pitbox/trailer? can the team transmit information to the screen or simply send the driver a text message? i guess only onb...

nome66

lol sorry i didn't see that

nome66

ah ok that's clear now

nome66

i like how nobody mentioned the "elephant ears" making a subtle return to the sport....

they recycled mclaren's '95 tub that mansell used.

I think all the strange looking noses and resulting aesthetic rule changes show how far the teams will go to not let the tip of the nose touch the front wing.

nome66

Fingers are crossed for the marussia being the only team who's car looks like a modern f1 update of the 1997 Reynard chassis

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3b/Paris_Tuileries_Garden_Facepalm_statue.jpg I started watching Formula 1 in 1991 but the cars this year; just awful. There are really people who like the Caterham or Force India? Really? What kind of drugs are you on? The only two cars who look in a...

nome66

got it. no more Cosworth?

nome66

i like how they are bringing over the european stuff.
at least they aren't re-labelling SL's as that awful Crossfire. yuck.
anyways..... i forget which engines Marussia will be using.

wow i've always wanted to race in that rallycross series out in finland. do all the stuff i have always wanted to do in traffic, but would otherwise be convicted of.

nome66

it looks like a really harsh angle like the ferrari. anyone else see it?

nome66

does anyone or any where have pictures of the Force India's nose? i'm becoming increasingly concerned about it because i haven't actually seen it.

nome66

probably a bit rusty. i imagine in competition, he'll be more aggressive than someone who hadn't switched from open wheel racing to "have at it boys" fender-banging.

nome66

soooooo is the "different aero-setups for different teams" thing happening this season, or am i wasting my time asking?

nome66

ok STR are some trolls here. at least make the entire nose gold so it wont necessarily .... ehem.... "stick out" from the rest of the car. it just looks like they are trolling Ecclestodt by meeting the bare minimum.
hopefully AMG, Caterham, and Marussia are better.

nome66

LvL 5 was Reinstated winner? YOU MEAN WINKLEHOCK DID THAT THING WHERE HE WAS IN THE LEAD FOR ANOTHER RIDICULOUSLY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME!? i think he beat his previous record because the race was already over by the time they said he was leading.
