I hope he knocks one of the youngsters out of their chair and pees in their seat.

That was actually pretty good race Button and Albon had a pretty good battle for a little while. Some actual good overtake moments too. I hope espn continues to broadcast these. Haven't played an F1 game in a couple years now. Almost makes me wanna get back into it.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

I have it recorded, gonna give it a watch later tonight while eating dinner. Sounds like it was a lot of fun.

funny you say that. with my new computer build I just reinstalled F1 2014 and Spintires for those less intense driving experiences.

Ive bought and played F1 games throughout the years, but there's only ever been 1 year I've actually completed an entire season dont remember what year that was. 16 maybe? I bought 18 last year but barely touched it. If only we could find 20 people here.....

I only bought 2014 because it followed the 2013 season.. Last of The V8’s. I only played individual races though. Never was new close to a wile season. LOL.

The last of the Gentleman Drivers.
Rest In Peace.

 

[IDAFC21]

That is not news I wanted to wake up to this morning. RIP

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Should have slept in till the afternoon.

But yeah. Anniversary of his Goodwood crash, too. If I remember correctly.

 

[IDAFC21]

Just finished up the Chinese virtual GP. Not quite as intense as the last race, but still some great moments, and even team tactics! And Norris really needs to get his connection sorted out before the next race.

Shit, didn’t even know it was on.

The beginning commentary is weird, but it seems to clear up once the action starts. Embed also wont work since F1 are still being jerks even now.

F1.com is streaming the 1994 Japan race tomorrow, 1pm CST (6:00 PM UTC). And there is a Honda Prelude SI as the pace car... I miss mine, same color and everything.

Race starts in about 15 minutes gentlemen:

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

If you watch the race, drink every time they say "aggregate".

 

[IDAFC21]

I may just have to watch that this weekend.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Be ready for VHS quality video... It's not horrible, but oof.

The glorious sounds that the engines make do a nice job of offsetting the visuals.

 

[IDAFC21]

The glorious tones will definitely more than make up for the poor visuals.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Somewhere, and I have to find it, is a video of like the top 10 best sounding exhausts, and one of them is the Lexus LF-A. They let it off idle then start revving it. Right when you think "man, must be close to redline" they mash the throttle even more... instantly brought back the memories of those F1 cars. What a sound. I have looked a few times to try to find it again, but no luck.

 

[AWDCD3]

Fingers crossed.
