Re: Wrongfull British grand prix parking fines at track

I saw a lot of cars Saturday that didn't have a parking sticker get a ticket. It's very clear you have to pay to park there so no sympathy from me.

Well obviously all the noses aren't ideal but i think Mclarens looks pretty classy. Not so keen on anything else i've seen so far.

Re: 2014 Helmet Thread.

I love it! I've been waiting for one of the Merc drivers to have a black helmet ever since Heidfeld had one. I think it goes so well with the colour of the car. I also think its cool how he's used roman numberals.

Re: New Noses

Now if somebody could photoshop the Mclaren so it had a smoother transition to the nose and also moved the wing supports closer to nose tip then it would look pretty awesome. But that is a big ask.

Re: The Sauber showcar from Autosport international

Yeah they had the same car there last year. It does indeed look like a 2006 BMW with a 2009-2013 spec aero package. At mercedes world they messed up an old Honda in similar fashion and had the cheek to call it a W01!

Re: Does watching motorsport make you a better driver?

I don't think just watching it will improve your driving. It might give you ideas that you have neither the skill or experience to pull off and that's only going to end one way. I could see sim racing affecting your driving though as you're actually doing something rather than just sat there watching.

I had a go of the demo on xbox the other day and one thing i liked was that when you pass somebody by cutting a corner its gives you a certain about of time to let them repass before giving you a penalty. I'm sure in previous games it just penalised you straight away.
