Before the pedants say, "ackshually, Formula One uses disc brake, not drum brakes", I am aware. Thanks.

Not much to say aside from agreeing with Lance here. Motorsports will always be high risk but it's a matter of mitigation. It's insane that they resumed the race in those conditions and it's insane that no meaningful changes have been made to these corners since Anthoine's death. There have been other legendary corners at Spa that were revised due to driver deaths, so something new needs to be considered here. I don't know if the 1994 chicane layout makes a ton of sense, but they need to find something.

Edit: After reading more, I really also want to emphasize just how badly race control fucked up here. Safety car for 15 minutes in cold weather and driving rain...and then giving the green light with a single lap to end the race? Anyone that thinks that is a reasonable idea is insane. There is absolutely no time for tires to come to temperature and even if there was, I still feel that racing Spa in significant rain/spray conditions is just dumb.

  1. ALO

I was more thinking Dune, but that also works.

Ackshually this is only true for every team except Williams. When Vowles said that their tech was 20 years out of date, he was actually referring to the fact that they are still secretly using a V10, eliminating the ability for them to brake using KERS.

That was super entertaining, lots of great passes and the drama with the pit stops was fun.

I am so excited to make the upgrade! I am planning on a Moza R9/R12 and the new KS wheel. Just waiting a few months as I am making a major move+other life events. Want to save up a bit and also wait until I have the space for a proper rig.

Just got AMS2 while traveling and I'm psyched to get home and try it.

Would love to do something in either a low class iRacing car, AMS2, or anything in AC! My recent obsession is hotlapping the Nordschleife on a big German server that is always full - it's just so fun to drive that track with tons of traffic.
