The corn.

Well, here's a question for everyone. When do you think the series peaked and why?

Haven't played in a while, but my number 1 beef with iRacing on the road side was course selection. I felt like every time I purchased a track, it was only good for 2-3 weeks a season (and I had a lot of cars) and then the next season it would be even less useful because new tracks would be added that got priority placement over the old tracks. I wish there was a way they could add more tracks in one season so that I could actually drive the ones I own.

^^ Agreed

I have 700+ channels at home and I still find myself watching pirated movies off my laptop.

I read a memoir from a man who in solitary confinement and he said the entertainment was 3 radio stations if you plug some crappy headphones into the wall. One station plays rap, one is in Spanish, and then I think the last one was actually slightly tolerable/understandable.

A PS2? Which you can play GT4 on? Hell, I'd consider trading my xBox 360 and all my games for that.

Martini confirmed for Williams sponsorship. Along with picking up Genworth this week and possible Petrobas in the near future.

From what I've heard all the skiing/snowboarding events are having pretty poor scores because the snow is poor. During the day it's been up to 10 degrees Celsius, so the snow turns to slush and a lot of people fall.

Clarkson didn't mention this, but there's a button on the steering wheel that is used to turn on the electric motor when running the engine, giving you an instant boost in power. So, if I understand this correctly, most of the time you will run around with the 727 BHP of the engine and then a few short seconds of 903 BHP when you push the button. Or you could solely use the motor to go to the shops and back. Because, you know, you shop in a Mclaren P1.

There's rumors that the P1 originally lapped the Nurburgring slower than the Porsche 918 because the electric motor was dying before the completion of one lap. Of course, this issue has now been remedied enough that the P1 is now faster. That would mean the electric motor is good for a whopping 13 miles at full out race pace, so yea, these electric motors are really only good for short distances at full speed.

Hence why, if I had a choice, I think I'd take a Hyuara.

Good episode all around. Was pleasantly surprised to see Clarkson address the issues with the P1 instead of giving us the usual 'It's British and therefore it's fantastic' plug.

Still can't wrap my head around the P1's looks though. IMO it's styled like cars of the late 90's and early 00's. Everything is sort of warped and bubbly. I don't imagine it will age well.

Typical.

I forgot there was an Arsenal game today. So did the team.

Let the unraveling begin.

I want to see that jetski quad bike. Looks awesome.

So apparently they just released the Go Pro footage from the jump and it's absolutely terrifying.

Turn 4 seats for the Indy 500, with a view directly down the front straight.

IMO...

Reddit tried to find the Boston Bomber, but it ended up being a witch hunt that pinned it on a bunch of incorrect suspects. 4chan would've told the bombers how to improve their explosives.

Yes, 4chan is almost infinitely more vile (and knows it) due to it's anonymous nature, but that's the same reason that it is completely honest with itself. Reddit is the opposite, trying to be perfect in every way. They almost always **** up, and then try to deny it.

If you want to talk about how badly Renault is doing, look at this.

Same number of teams as Mercedes, less than 1/5 the laps.

I thought this would be to draw in casual viewers, but honestly if you exaplain it to anyone beyond "Four drivers go head to head for the title in the last race" (which is what NASCAR will inevitably brand it as) then they realize how stupid it is. I explained to a friend, who has never watched any car race before, that NASCAR was going to do 'playoffs' and the first thing he said was "why would you implement something built for 1v1 style sports into a series where everyone participates in every event?" He will probably never watch a race his whole life and he still gets it.

Maybe (hopefully) this is just another step towards IndyCar returning to #1 again.

Even get to see a 350z crash at Brunnchen.

:ices_rofl

I will keep watching (at least the last 20 laps) because the racing will generally be the same, but the Championship is just a farce to me.

Well here's an actually reliable source.

Mclaren found a way to increase ground effects at low speeds via their suspension. We'll see if it survives a moveable aero protest.
