wow, who would have thought this piece of shit track would bring back boring racing

How in the fcuk are places like this and hungary allowed to be apart of the calander

Well done to vettel, just counting down the weeks until this championship is done. Kind of a shame that with the points lead he has now, he doesnt even have to win or come second to have this all locked up.

Yep, I dozed in and out of sleep, f**king waste of race weekend innit.

+1 to this.

Oh, and am I the only one getting sick of hearing "I have no KERS, KERS is gone"... then said driver immediately puts in fastest lap of the race on their next lap or two?

Lastly, DRS is as shitful a Ecclestone... if DRS must be used, can we at least have it available on corners?

6L atmo? even that is waaaay too quick.

4 cylinder sounds crap, i'm suer v6 wouldn't be that good either. inline 6 is a possibility but for packaging reasons nobody uses them in production cars any more. v8 sounds crap especially with this blown diffuser nonsense.

I'm a fan of smaller capacity V10 or V12, NA. Keep the cylinder count high, no RPM limit, and reduce capacity as required to keep power within sensible limits. Besides that I say "anything goes" with the engine as long as they still sound meaty and not tinny like a motorbike. Not really a fan of turbo, it kills the exhaust sound. V12s were before my time but the V10s sounded magnificent.

Get rid of this reliability stuff, engines and gearboxes lasting half a season etc. The random blowups used to make things interesting.

Aero needs to be simplified still further, to make it easier for cars to follow closely. That and mechanical grip needs to be improved. I think DRS has too many rules, and is a bit artificial. I have no problem with KERS because drivers are free to use it at any point in the lap.

The main thing for me is the sound. In between F1 practice sessions when the two seater V10 comes out my jaw drops and I go what... is... THAT.... :worship:

When did this happen? Lap times drop with fuel loads but I think it is safe to say that KERS makes cars quicker.

as pointless as not even putting in a time in q3? these tyre regs need the most work

from start to finish, this whole weekend has been a complete let down

Refueling would solve so many problems. Two, three or four stints where cars are driving flat out rather than circulating to manage fuel, tyres, engines and gearboxes.

Button did it last night if I recall correctly.

Also I think Webber did it a couple of times earlier this year

Fuel reduction is the main reason plus the on/off nature of some KERS modules when they get too hot.

I agree, but JB did it the lap he was heard on the team radio last night.

Whether the team radio broadcast was quite delayed I do not know.

I think you will find that those messages are delayed, have heard the commentators say as much a few times, was more than likely coincidence

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
