Administrators JoeDirt Posted February 28, 2014 Administrators Posted February 28, 2014 We are getting closer to the first race, only 14 days left to the first practice session of the Australian Grand Prix.

Susie Wolf will do 2 FP1 sessions for Williams this year. Rob Smedley has joined the Williams as the head of vehicle performance, so the Massa/Smedley saga continues. Christian Horner is rumored to take over from Bernie Eccelstone as Formula 1 boss. Quote
TheGrinch Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Cool. I will be attending the Toyota Grand Prix on April. I go there very year. It's exiting to see it in person Quote
narc Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) I love fast cars, I want to care about this, but I just cant. I watch the video because Australian accents are mesmerizing for us Americans. At what point in time did racers forget that the point of having a nice car was for the attention from women? If you wanna go 350 mph just get a pilot license or something. be an astronaut. this mechanical nonsense takes all the sexy right out of these otherwise damn sexy cars. My 2cents edit: i spent countless nights on memphis motorsports track as a kid, ex girlfriend actually lived *on* the tracksite rofl... i used to watch the racers jet away into dusk, we thought it romantic. knowing all of the turbo power recuperation details takes a fat shit on all of that romanticism. Just be fast and sexy and don't talk, things are better that way. edit2: i am a number cruncher at heart, calculus has been play play toy since fifth grade. But I mean come on guys, keep math and cars away from each other. it is just nasty. kill it with fire. bury it with no marker. let it be gone. be fast and sexy, no numbers.

What in the actual f*** are you talking about and what does it have to do with Formula 1 and F1 testing in general? 1 Quote

What in the actual f*** are you talking about and what does it have to do with Formula 1 and F1 testing in general? rofl this caused me to bust out laughing so hard. my point is racing is a sexy sport. all the numbers should be silent. background info. unneeded info. who crossed the finish line first? which cheerleader or model was hottest? which car would you murder a priest to get to drive? screw boost pressure, recuperation of hp, laps down to millionths of a second, and all that nonsense. you are incorperating nerdism with racing, and it murders the sexiness of the sport. No one cares how many millimeters larger one cars turbo is than anothers. take home point: i tried to watch the video, it was super boring, if there was no talking and just the cars it would have been awesome.. well except then we wouldn't get an australian accent!

narc Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 ill put it this way: I want to stick my penis in one of those cars but i can't because the math makes me go limp. Quote
Administrators JoeDirt Posted March 1, 2014 Author Administrators Posted March 1, 2014 You seem to be a very young kid around 14-15 I suppose the time when hormones are in the high gear and all you can think about is where you are going to stick your **** into next. Few of us on this forum actually are actually grown ass adults that care about racing in this case Formula 1. Your pointless rants might be welcome in other threads but they will not be tolerated in my threads. If you have nothing constructive to contribute kindly f*** off. 2 Quote

If you are having a bad day, I hope it gets better. Edited March 1, 2014 by narc Quote
Administrators JoeDirt Posted March 1, 2014 Author Administrators Posted March 1, 2014 Judging from the pm that you sent me you do confirm that you are an insecure child that is trying to fit in. If you bothered to browse the forums as someone that is semi intelligent (which you apparently claim to be) then you would know that I am not some high admin but F|A clan founder. I don't pussyfoot around anyone. I call them as I see them. One last thing, I never have bad days, however I am the reason most people do. Quote
