Removing the sensor data would go a long way for competitive Sundays IMO.

 

Let them have the data after the race ends.  A lap at COTA probably has 20 calls from the pit box for engine modes, brake balance tire temps etc etc.  Put more on the driver.

Exactly. If the car is too complex for the driver to manage on their own as it used to be, then deal with it. Make it more manageable for them. Or don't, and suffer. The driver needs to be a bigger part of the equation again.

They are tone deaf.  Toto ""And at the moment, we are pretty much everywhere around the globe. But I'd love to race in New York City; that would be awesome"

 

These cars can't run on street circuits, but the money they would get is more important that the product.

Yeah, I can’t imagine throwing out all that money to come here for the cota experience. But most of the people seemed to enjoy it. The Italians behind us enjoyed the roller coaster. We are lucky it’s in our backyard

Hey, just curious. Do yo know how much Epstein was charging for coaster rides? Also, the tower cost $35 last time I went up, but that was at least 3 or 4 years ago. Surely he's raised that price.

No idea, I was actually surprised they had stuff running since last time I was out there they weren’t close. No way I’ll ever ride any of that stuff

Am I the only one upon reading that thought, hmmmm......$16 for a beer is too bad compared to $120 for a hat.  

Please tell me he got a blowjob with the hat for that $120.

Wait ... are you saying there's somewhere I can get a hat and a blowjob for $120? 

Hook a brother up, yo!

Regular baseball hats are $120+. There were lots of people that bought cowboy hats out there. My daughter and wondered how much they ran. We figured $200 or more

Bullshit. no "REGULAR" baseball hat is $120. Only the baseball hats sold at COTA priced so high only a truly fucking dumbarse would buy one are $120+ plus.

I suspect if some group of bored Eastern European teens had taken over AWS I could open a link to one of the various sites that has COTA merch that I suspect they aren't selling for $12

Guess we will see how he stacks up soon!

I love this news. This is going to be a fascinating experiment and comparison of IndyCar drivers vs F2. It'll also just make the F2 season way more fun. I think he'll start out very fast in quali and the races but struggle with Pirelli tyre wear early in the season (unless he does a crap ton of testing before the season, which is possible because he has Gainbridge and Andretti money behind him). I expect him to be the best driver in F2 by the end of the season, but it will be fascinating to see how it plays out. 

 

Also for those in here who want to see real, close racing, I highly recommend watching F2. It's a ton of fun to watch and follow and allows you to watch actual racing after an F1 snoozefest most weeks.  A lot of quick, young drivers going all out against each other. You see flashes of brilliance and absolute foolishness all mixed together in a tight racing series. The F2 cars can follow so much better than F1, they're smaller, lighter, and don't have nearly as much ERS and other pitwall settings nonsense.  Fullraces.com posts every F2 race shortly after if you don't want to have to subscribe to ESPN+. I haven't seen it announced, but I'm hoping the Apple TV rights include the F2 races as well. That would definitely help bring more visibility to F2.

Three consecutive posts from the Autosport USGP thread that are a great example of what we were talking about above ...

The complete lack of tyre deg even on the M is just such a big problem. It's ruined so many races this year. Suzuka, China, Spa, Monza, Baku etc.

 

Quote

No matter what tire you give them, they will prefer to drive slowly in the high stress corners to avoid an extra pitstop. It's only when the calculation between driving slower and the speed of the alternate tire crosses over that you get the chance of 2 stops.  

Quote

This is what a lot of people forget. It's all so data driven now that if going slow and preserving tires is faster they will all choose that one
