Only $2000 if you include the hardware (which you wouldn’t be getting with a PS4 at only $300, and why bother if you don’t have a wheel?). You could probably get a competent VR setup with wheel, pedals, and maybe a cockpit to mount it on for that.

Well, you have iRacing now, which has the Lotus 49, 79, Williams FW31, and last year’s McLaren. The inability to get the full license (because FOM loves $$$) hurts a bit, but if you just want to know what driving the cars on Grade 1 tracks is like, it’s second to none. Especially since racing against people is what…

Glad to see F1 getting into the eSports game as well, though a bit disappointing it’s another short-term event. I like that you have a lot of series (including DTM, IMSA, Blancpain GT, NASCAR, and others) doing full eSports championships online, of various payouts.

I think that’s mostly correct, with perhaps a bit of tech transfer. Probably not much different from most of the OEMs in FE.

Exactly. If he really wants to make a statement, he should put this money where his mouth is. He literally earned money with this stuff, if he wants the apology to be taken seriously, it should be accompanied by a donation (at least as large as the ad money from the videos he ‘joked’ in) to a deserving organization.

And they didn’t actually make the chassis, it’s common with all the other teams and built by a third party. All they do is design a powertrain.

I disagree. We never saw anywhere close to this detail (publicly) about Bianchi, de Villota, Edwards, Simonsen, or any number of other serious and/or fatal crashes.

Sure, but wouldn’t that work against the idea of using just diesel (because that would push the price even higher), and be a benefit of having both efficient diesel and petrol vehicles on the road?

I think the better parallel is civil disobedience, where it’s intentionally disruptive to normal activities, but also intentionally non-violent. Usually this also comes with the caveat that it’s often illegal to do whatever it is you’re doing, and you’ll accept the consequences (even if you make officers drag you away…

I think it’s as much a comment on Ford’s inability to manufacture the GTs they’ve sold to people. They planned 250 deliveries per year, and they’re somewhere around 50 on this calendar year.

Remember when the 2nd largest automaker in the world struggled to manufacture enough of a 250/year road car, not only delivering just 2 the year of its racing debut, but only having delivered about 50/250 from the first MY production run in August?

But, as the Germans are teaching us, diesel comes with its own challenges to not create smog while still producing competitive price economy (since diesel is still slightly more expensive).

That’s true, but of course then the question is absurdly trivial: is an airplane’s engine more powerful than the rolling friction of its wheels?

How else can you interpret “The conveyor belt is designed to exactly match the speed of the wheels, but run in the opposite direction”? If the speeds match, the plane is stationary.

I’ve always figured allowing more parts to be supplied to other teams was the optimal solution. The factory teams will continue to develop competitively, but you allow the minnows to be able to buy competitive customer components.

Still hundreds of thousands of ‘nobody’.

Just in case you think it’s okay to let a Tesla’s Autopilot completely take over while you zone out, watch this and get schooled:

Or Honda’s planning on not being in F1 next season.

Two weekends ago, as many people watched FE on Fox as watched IndyCar on NBCSN (yes, network helps a lot).

Not than Le Mans, than the regular season WEC races. Same goes for IndyCar and the 500.
