I hate that they’re putting race cars into Horizon 3... I mean, wasn’t the point of Horizon to show off the street-legal cars that normally go unused because of the faster race cars because who wants to race a 60s VW Beetle around a race track?

This soooo needs to come to Forza... Is it even still in the Gran Turismo series?

God, Baku was boring. I mean, I was genuinely interested in the course, and seeing how it looked (I’m a “new course” fan, lol), and the tight corners near the Castle and the huge open road (about eleventy car widths wide) that opened the way to the main straight (I was surprised to hear that the F1 cars got up to…

Wait, that’s katy perry?

So stoked that Ford GT won, can’t wait to see them at Lime Rock next month. Skay, be sure to tune in, maybe you’ll see me, lol. Race is July 23rd, will be aired July 24th, most likely.

But obviously, GT win is overshadowed by my heartbreak for Toyota :*(

Well, if NBCSN has NASCAR for the second half of the season, no reason why they can’t have WEC/IMSA too for the summer. It’d certainly give some more viewership, but people complain that even NBCSN is an “unobtainium channel”.

Wait there was a GO blackout?! When?

I’m in the same boat! Plus, despite the schedule, this morning I woke up to find golf playing instead of the Le Mans that was supposed to be on FS1 from 230am thru 930am... They flipped it back to FS2 as is usual for a bunch of dictators.

Oh, oops... lol. Aren’t those types of headlights typically based on steering angle or something? But steering angle would be better for production cars, race car headlights could be programmed to turn automatically before a corner using GPS as you stated...

When’s V8 Supercars? They’re racing from Darwin this weekend. But dunno the times... Checked my TV guide, nothing.

Really? I never knew that. I sorta figured something helped with the lights as drivers can’t always tell whom they’re about to pass, ya know?

I’d love to see Toyota finally win this year. They’d be the 2nd Japanese make to win the race since Mazda’s 787B did it 25 years ago.

Normally, it costs extra; I got it as part of my provider’s Sports Package (which I only got for IMSA endurance races). ANd even though were paying extra for it, FS2 refuses to be offered in HD except to IPTV-based services (AT&T U-Verse and Verizon Fios). Satellite and Cable get stuck with the lesser-quality SD feed.

I…

I view my ipad on my TV... i know, it’s a separate gadget to do so, but at least I can view the race on my big TV. But for some reason, my iphone gets the normal TV-style stream (with positions and timing like if it was really on TV) in addition to the in-car streams. But My ipad, i could not find the TV stream at…

Why are you blaming them? NO sports channel, whether it’s FOX Sports, CBS Sports, NBC Sports, BEin, or even Velocity can tell the future.

Last weekend, we had the Orlando shooting, which was top story the entire day on every network channel. Formula One was to start on NBC at 1pm EST, and obviously NBC (nor CBS, FOX,…

Obviously, I was making an example, there are many ways to go about capturing video for YouTube that don’t involve using a cellphone to take a movie of something on a screen.

The car is still sitting in the run-off, so I doubt the car is going to get repaired anytime soon.

And really, people still use cellphones to record TV stuff? All I do is “Xbox record that.” which records the last 30 seconds, then I say “Xbox post to Jalopnik” lol.

I don’t see why it couldn’t be called “Grand Prix of Baku”, as opposed to “Grand Prix of Azerbaijan” since no one can actually pronounce “hows-ur-asian”...

What, no live blog for those who regrettably have family functions to go to today? lol. I’m definitely bringing my phone charger so I can ignore everyone at the engagement party my cousin is having... lol.

Seems like no matter how often I request it, no cable provider will offer FS2 in HD. I’ve requested it every time a 24 hours race is about to air... still nothing after three years. Only Fios and AT&T U-Verse seem to have FS2 in HD.

I thought about you today when I was looking at tweets hashtagged #XboxDesignLab. a couple of the tweeters are Xbox employees and one works in Peripherals and Marketing, so I asked him about the controllers. The Xbox Design Lab controllers are the new type that have been out for at least the past year or so, with the…
