If they put some SAFERs on that banking and give it a smooth layer of asphalt, it wouldn't be that unthinkable for something like Indycar. But F1 would sadly never ever take the risk.
Damn, now I'd really like to see an Indycar race there!

WTF?! This just send a shiver down my spine. Fucking hell! Must have been terrible for Purley too, hearing him scream while trying to get him out of the car while absolutely nobody is helping for 8 minutes...
Also, no red flag? Everybody agrees they throw a red flag way to easy nowadays, but this...
>>67693692
Oversized engine that nullified any competitive chance of the team when ground effect was introduced and led to one of the most innovative designs ever that looked nothing like this, but still managed to win a race before getting gracefully retired among protests?
>>67696514
IndyCar doesn't even use the European ovals that actually exist, so they probably won't,
>>67696514
SAFERS on banking? Indycar? Are you totaly insane?
Indycar does not drive on anything past 20° on 2 mile ovals. This one is comparable (but still longer!) in length to Indianapolis. There is no width to that track, banking is at 30° progressive and uneven through the corners. Indinapolis, which is at the last end of being drivable for Indycar, is at 9°! Indy simply doesn't drive on any other 2.5 mile track, and doesn't drive on highly banked 2 milers as well.
Hey /f1/, what's for breakfast?
>>67696933
>SAFERS on banking?
Yes? It was developed for ovals, and first implemented at Indianapolis.
The rest of your explanation is true tho. Didn't think about the extreme G-forces a modern car would have to face. Like the 2001 Indy race at Texas Speedway (banking 24°) that had to be canceled because of that..
>>67695850

>no drs for lapping cars
>I never understood this either. Why did they make this a thing? Probably yet another one of those things the FIA didn't think through when they made the DRS rules.
>>67695615
its FIA choking in its own rules, regulations and politics. Just like the metal end under the car to make sparks, an artificial fix.
cars could not overtake because aero, so they 'fixed' it with drs.
just like they will fix viewer pleasure in 2017 by making the cars look more aggressive.
and probably add speakers to each car for better sound.
>>67696460
>>67696514
>>67696933
If they won't race Formula or Indy Cars on it then why not GT3 cars or something like that. Or just any cars. Since the track exists it's a shame not to use it. Something historic like that should be used and kept operational for future generations.

Could Kyvat have won this weekend?
And does anyone have that comparison picture between Rosberg's defence and Hamilton's from older races? I want to tweet it at the Sky guys, they've got a bit much recently.
>>67697139
>cars could not overtake because aero, so they 'fixed' it with drs.
Personally I don't really have a problem with DRS in those normal overtake situations. But it's the lapped-car-DRS that I find unnecessary, unfair and ridiculous.
>>67695787
i started using your mum m8
>>67697217
No.
What Verstappen with nothing short of near flawlesss defence. There was only one real attack in the last 20 laps. Even with the unlikely favourable strategy that max found himself in, Kyvat would have found a way to get reckless and blow it
>>67697210
Because it would require actual repaving, with proper barriers, cutting of trees, safety equipment and all other such things.
I mean Monza can only just afford F1 (Maybe not even that anymore) so expecting them to essentially double their infrastructure budget is a bit ludicrous.
We are lucky they re-concreted it the other year. (I still don't get why people moaned about that. It was going fall apart if it didn't get a concrete repave)
>>67695377

That's not Amx in the car, is it? Jos was at Benetton in '94, and Amx was only born in '97, so who's the kid?
>>67696460
Thats some sweet-ass flying too.
Why have they never attempted to make a track with a loop-the-loop?
>>67697626
not a '94 benetton. the d2 sponsorship means it's from the late 90s or early 2000s.
>>67697626
>>67697710
Verstappen was testing for Benetton in early 1998, so it probably is Amx.
>>67697710
>>67697743
Oh right, I should have figured he was testing. The fact the car had his name on it was what threw me off.
Nice car, what's the retail on one of those?

When I started smoking in high school I decided to go for Lucky Strikes because of the Honda BAR team. I wasn't a big fan of the team, but I liked their sort of underdog kind of place.

Just noticed that Canada has the same (softest) tyre allocation as Monaco. It looked weird to me, since they are completely different tracks.

>>67698476
OK, that's maybe the one thing they have in common, I give you that. But so are Australia and Baku (and Russia?)
>>67698592
Tyre wear is influenced by many things: The asphalt used to make the track, the number of high lateral G points (such as quick corners), temperature, tyre pressure, and some more I cannot think of right now.

>>67698363

>>67698663
Of course. I only meant to say that I was surprised that two very, very different tracks have the same tyre allocations. Monaco: slow, high downforce. Canada: fast, medium-low downforce
>>67698182
same, but this brand instead.
>>67699196
I now smoke gold 'boros because they are the smooth "feels like nothing" kind of deal now that I smoke less. A gold/white Marlboro kind of livery would make me cum buckets.
>>67694591
what game?
>>67698759
The similarity between them lies in the kind of corners they have, and the requirements this puts on the car and tyres.
The corners are short, and slow speed ones. No fast sweepers or ultra-long corners (like Spain T3) to put lateral loads on the tyres. The cars that excel at both tracks are ones with very good traction, since you have to accelerate back up from low apex speeds.
>>67699248
Can you imagine, Ferrari out of nowhere with a golden livery. The anti tobacco industry would probably go apeshit. Not that they can do anything about it.
>>67699424

Of course of course quality can be wildly ranging, but there are a good amount of high quality mods luke the 91 and i1 f1 seasons, the CTDP f1 mods, the 95 indycar mod, cart factor, enduracers. In 2016 they are a bit dated in terms of textures and polygons and shading, but the physics are strong. Newer games are catching up with the number of mods though they just aren't 'proven' yet IMO

You know how these things go. Every bit of edge has a price.
"So, at the Beach, Snively makes his first pass of the afternoon. It's virtually smokeless and the elapsed time drops, accordingly The pits are in a flurry. As you would reckon, the belief is that Roland has taken away clutch pressure to produce the drop in time. Roland didn't even know why it had happened, at least for the moment. It wasn't until Keith returned, heard about the events and examined how the clutch had been assembled that the reasons became known. But neither he nor Roland wanted anyone else to become aware Racers are racers.
Almost immediately, T/F (and Top Gas) competitors began dropping spring pressure in their clutches. It was purely experimental. How much was enough? How much wasn't? And in the process, clutch packages quickly overheated and were short-lived. On more than one occasion, particularly during night racing, I saw white-hot clutch parts shoot high into the darkness. Cars were cut in half. Floaters and discs were thrown into spectator areas. Racers were injured or killed. By now, most knew what had been behind Snively's first smokeless run, but the genie was already out of the bottle. Clutch package experimentation was on the loose and leaving a trail of damage in its wake. The accident involving Mike Sorokin, driver for the then-popular Surfers T/F team, was the last straw."
http://wediditforlove.com/techtalk23.html
>>67708347
I was thinking more along the standard Tilke lines of paving over and gaudily painting everything within a hundred meters of the racing line.
"Is that circuit Bahrain?"
"No, it's Monaco after the safety upgrade."
>>67708396
The firesuits were less edge than just ignorance, imo. Glad things are better now - if people are willing to wear them.
Interesting you posted what you did, I had just been looking at pictures of Garlits' clutch explosion at Lions.
>>67708612
Those clutch explosions were really hellish. Sorokin had his blow and it cut the car in half when he was at speed down the strip. IIRC he tried to bail at one point and a rollover killed him.
Here's Gas Ronda in 1967. The fire from a blown engine burned him so badly he never raced again. That's when firesuits really began to be taken seriously Personally, i wouldn't get in a car without every reasonable bit of protection i can get.

>>67709185
This is basically the Monaco-Spa-Nurburgring problem as it applies to drag racing.
The length of a strip's shutdown area is primarily a function of when the track was built.
Newer tracks like Las Vegas have plenty of room, because they were designed for today's cars and speeds. (Just like Tilke tracks constructed in the past 10 years.)
But many of the classic tracks were constructed when the top speed for any of the cars was significantly less than 200mph. This means the shutdown areas, which back then were perfectly safe, are dangerously short for cars now running ~500kph.
As populations grew the real estate around older drag strips, which were often in the middle of nowhere when they were built, got used for other things. This means that as much as NHRA wants to extend shutdown areas, there's no longer any land available at the end of the strips - it's covered with roads, houses, businesses.
Englishtown is one of those older tracks. There's no way to make the track any longer than it is. Pomona is even worse - the shutdown there is frighteningly short.
Here's the end of the track at Englishtown: http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?v=2&FORM=LMLTCP&cp=40.328659~-74.352561&style=h&lvl=18&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=8445591&phx=0&phy=0&phscl=1&encType=1
For a while the increases in speed were matched by increases in braking efficiency, so faster cars could run on the same length tracks because they could stop faster too.
But eventually speed outdid braking. When Scott was killed NHRA decided to reduce the distance the nitro cars run from 1,320 to 1,000 feet, to give the cars more time and distance to stop.
Whether going from 1/4 mile to 1,000 ft was a good idea is still debated today (though there's no chance of nitro racing ever returning to 1,320, the cost in parts to the teams would be too high).
I didn't know Scott very well, but I still remember the exact moment when I saw ESPN report his death.
>>67710176
I would like to say that runoff areas are a result of drivers and other people pushing for more safety, not because of the higher speeds.
Cars have been really quick for a very very long time, handling and brake performance has increased, but top speed is not that hard to reach.
Just check old footage, drivers dying all the fucking time because the runoff was literally either some little dirt ramp on the side, or fucking trees.
Driver fatality in the past was huge.
So, again, it's not that safety measures increased as a result of higher speeds (because it makes no difference crashing at 80/120/300/500 km/h if the difference is only the smoothness of your bones on the tarmac), but rather because people aren't gonna take the same risks and die all the time.
>>67710545
I was referring only to the development of drag strips, since it was my understanding that was the question.
Safety has historically been a higher priority in NHRA than in Formula 1. The NHRA was founded specifically to allow drag racing to be conducted safely.
In Formula 1 the situation was very different. Jackie Stewart was one of the drivers who had to battle Formula 1 owners for improved safety for racers, since F1 took the naturally European view that drivers were expendable elements of the spectacle (mirroring the relationship of royalty to their subjects who were sent off to die in war).
So in drag racing safety has been mandated as much by the sanctioning body as by the racers, probably more. I agree that in Formula 1 the developments in safety were first won only by the drivers themselves demanding change.
Now that the auto manufacturer-owners want to use Formula 1 to sell their cars and use safety as a sales feature, driver safety has a monetary value and is thus being valued by the owners of the sport.

Also, if Alfa eventually comes to F1 again, will they use Ferrari engines or make custom Alfa Romeo engines?
>>67714069
Alfa is owned by Fiat.
>>67714069\
>Honda works team
I doubt it. They've already had a lot of bad publicity in the past year and a half, I can't imagine them being any better compared to McLaren as Renault is compared to Red Bull. Which would just prove that McLaren's lack of competitiveness is largely down to Honda.
>>67714349
So is Ferrari (partially)

Red Bull traces it's lineage back to the Ford-backed Stewart Grand Prix team. They built a pretty good team in the late 90s from scratch. They had a few good seasons and even won a race, but struggled in the early 2000s. Ford bought all the assets and badged it Jaguar Racing. Jaguar was sold to Red Bull in a fire-sale after Ford realized that nobody actually makes money in F1.
Toro Rosso was Minardi, who were basically a better version of Manor. They gave a lot of drivers their first break in F1.
Worst thing about Sky F1 is that even though Max had a historic win, they immediately cut away after the race to Anthony fucking Davidson at the SkyPad to talk about Hamilton and Rosberg's incident, which nobody by the end of the race actually cared about.
Crofty especially makes me irrationally angry. I hope that by 2020 when Sky gets exclusivity that Lewis retires and/or Crofty gets fired. Ben Edwards and DC are literally perfect and make Crofty's commentary look like an amateur doing one of those YouTube live reaction videos. Hell, even David Hobbs (who may or may not be dead, I am not sure) and Leigh Diffey are better than Crofty.
I would rather sit through 20 minutes of NBCSN commercials during a grand prix than listen to David Croft commentate a sport he knows nothing about nor has the passion to actually learn its history.

I had to laugh at this, I know exactly how you feel.

Monaco Grand Prix seems to be in danger because some rich guys are planning to build a complex that would take away all the space F1 needs for paddock, media and shiiieeeet.

Brundle and DC were a great combo, but probably too technical and too non-shouty for the majority of peasants who watch F1

He needs to retire. I never liked him. I think he was the reason I disliked McLaren for so long. I liked Hakkinen, but somehow wasn't really a fan, because he was at McLaren with Ron.
I was so glad he left. Imagine the frustration when I heard they kicked Whitmarsh and Ron would be making a temporary comeback. Temporary can be a really long time so it seems.
>>67717421
He found someone irl to tie him up. :3

That's cute, Felix.

Now I'm wondering how every driver on the current grid would be like as commentators. Massa - Ricciardo combo would be good, I assume. Rosberg would probably sound like Legard.
>>67695787
Marlboro Silver Cigarettes
>>67718736

That would be more like a comical duo, constantly messing with each other. Maybe they're better as a gridwalk/interview-duo. I'd watch that!
Friendly reminder that only literal autists and Dorftrottel follow F1.

'Started' smoking at the age of 10. Tried several brands featured in F1: Lucky Strike, West (was a huge McLaren fan back then), Gauloises (2000 Prost is still my favorite livery).
Never tried Marlboro though, as I hated Ferrari back then.

Who would have been World Champion in 2007 if Kimi had decided to stay at McLaren?
(Obviously Alonso would have joined Ferrari in this scenario.)
Guys Max is clearly the future. He will win the next 25 WDCs
What is the point of even racing?

C'mon, we've heard the same about Vettel. It only depends on RBR strength, as until they are first they're going to keep swapping drivers every year.
>>67719230
>Obviously Alonso would have joined Ferrari in this scenario.
Actually, no. Jean Todt hated both Alonso and Briatore, because they'd shafted him back in 2001, when Todt was ready to sign Alonso to a test driver deal and Briatore came in and signed him instead.

Wow, thanks Narain. Had a really good read. I didn't know about that stuff at all as back then, I didn't follow F1 as autistically as I do now.
Really appreciate your quality posting here m80.
Also:
>Dennis attached one condition to his offer – he wanted to announce it immediately despite the disruption it would cause to his existing drivers. Close friends say he was driven by a desire to get back at David Robertson and tell the Formula One world how clever he was.

Cheers, Felix.
It's an interesting read, but I'd suggest you take it with a pinch of salt, since the author (Tom Rubython) has been sued for libel a few times, and also because the paddock considered him cancer.

Alonso signed with Mclaren back in 2005, so evrybody knew Ron had to get rid of either Gimi or Montoya. Quite a difficult choice if you ask me. Fortunately for him, Montoya showed himself the door out, but it was all done with Gimi too. He was already advanced in talks with Ferrari, so suddendly, Ron found himself with only one drover for 2007. That's when he realized it would be the perfect opportunity to give the nigger his long waited seat. Not that he had much of a choice there though. The nigger was of course much more economic than signing an established No. 2 driver even in the short term, like Heidfeld or Barrichello.
