I know I mentioned this on the General Purpose thread, but I wish they’d have brought in some porpoises and dressed them in the Mercedes livery.

The track does not look as bad as I feared it would.

I used to be about as big an F1 fan as you might find. I started every season reading the TR and the SR cover to cover and then digesting the rules changes. Which Internet service provider I used always was determined by who was carrying live F1 racing (and the Tour de France). And I had several F1-centric online accounts, F1 Racing, Autosport, Motor Sport, etc.

Then came 2014, which started with a screw-job, the basis of which came down to the fact that Adrian Newey had better test equipment than the FIA. But by mid-season it was clear that it was Y2K all over again, only this time it wasn’t Ferrari that had “bought the pot,” it was Merc.

Fast-forward eight years and now Hambone gets credited as the greatest F1 driver of all time when the truth is he was the beneficiary of Mercedes recognizing the impact of 2014’s new engine format arriving at the same time as the new TR and its imbecilic “token” system, which drastically curtailed R&D. Which meant that if Mercedes started 2014 with enough of an engine advantage, they could coast for several seasons and still take every championship along the way. So they could afford to spend more than a quarter of a billion dollars on engine development before the token system kicked in because it would be amortized over the next five or six seasons.

I think what saddens me the most about the corner they’ve painted the sport into is that F1, which used the be at the bleeding edge of development in all areas of 4-wheeled racing, now is just another “spec racing” series.

Despite all that, I’m still sorely tempted to watch this season just for the sheer pleasure of watching Hambone get humiliated.

yeah it’s ok but for offline only- not enough people play it online0- but i don’t mind, the offline is great too- my online racing game is a pay subscription to iracing - pretty solid drivers here once you get up past the beginner class- but until then it can be pretty frustrating- The thing i love about RFactor 2 is he cars- tons of different cars to choose from- all with unique handling characteristics- I especially love racing the 4 wheel drives aroudn tight tracks- but also like the classic harder to handle GT cars- The one Steve McQueen drove is a real handful and super powerful- I dunno how he managed it in real life- super slippery and very powerful

he was whining about the rule about no jewelry, and tried ot get the rule changed for him apparently- and they said ‘nope- same rules for everyone’ but he finagled and complained that his nose ring was’ too difficult to remove’ so they caved and are allowing it apparently- accirding to what the practice session commentators said about it-
