Re: So, Red Bull win in Hungary and Vettel wins at Spa...
Watson and Lauda started 22nd and 23rd in the 1983 US GP and went on to smash the field ending up 1st and 2nd by a large margin. From what I read earlier it seemed to be a case of messing up setup for Qualy but nailing it going into the race. By coincidence, I happened to be reading about this on Qu...

Wow, I'll be honest, I didn't think it would be anywhere near as bad as it was. That looks like the F3 driver is texting someone or similarly not paying attention. Plenty of time to react and he just drives into the back of him.

I don't like the idea particularly. A couple of situations that I feel could easily arise that would be issues. 1) It's the last race and the constructors is sewn up but the WDC is on the line. Might as well give your guy a new set of bits because the points are meaningless. 2) Negative points situa...

Black flag was the best in the series imo. Game was smooth, flawless and had a bit of everything to keep you interested. Too much sailing about.

My thoughts on the AC series are also fairly similar. I think it went downhill massively after Black Flag. My issue was simply that they seemed to simplify it so much, it made the free running easier (just hold a button and push forward) and that for me lost a lot of the fun in the game. I also nev...
