Title: Old F1 footage
Post by: chrisgixer on 06 June 2015, 16:19:54
Senna era. Far more intoxicating. Louder, obviously. Aerofloil wisps spewing off the rear wing. Visibly quicker in the corners. Sparks off the floor.

Makes the modern era seem so dull.

F1 really has lost its way IMO. Don't get me wrong though, I love to see f1 cars wanting round a track. But when they start debating 18" wheel changes to chav things up despair rules. Re fuelling anyone? Really? ::)

Sad. Very sad.

Any 24hr race gets interesting when the sun sets and rises, as team members body clocks go funny, before energy drinks, was coffee,

So you agree with what I've been on about for the last few years?

WHAT? Agree? With TB? Who doth protest too much? Never ;D

Certainly not to the point where touring cars are preferred. Another discipline entirely.

But it's definitely time for Bernie to ops off. Bah! He should be in jail anyway. ;D

Oi.!. Was a proper race, when we had, cozzies,real m3,skylines,Holden,jags.
Bernie tried to get involved, but they said no,hence touring cars don't support GP anymore.

Trouble with F1 and touring cars now is I don't find.d them interesting any more, DTM has gone the same way, rallying, seems tame, grp C is about as good as about as good as it gets, but I am wrong side of the wall now >:(

Much better race today in Canada. But still a way to go. A more level playing field on engines would help.

thay are about 3 years behind Mercedes to be fair. Frustrating though. Ferrari must be laughing SO hard, especially at Alonso.
