New F1 Cars 2012

[JoeMercer'sWay]

no this isn't the comp lol, won't start for a few weeks yet.

Just looking at the new car releases though, and the FIA have really fucked up on this. F1 cars are meant to look precise, stunning and really intricate, but apart from McLaren(we'll see how that pans out) they all look horrendous.

McLaren:

Caterham:

pig ugly.

The Ferrari is stunningly ugly. It looks like it's made of lego.

They were wanking over the McLaren one yesterday on talksport, but as they were quite rightly pointed out, it doesn't matter how good it looks, its how it performs.

It is one of the better looking ones though. I'm sure the Lotus one has gone to its original black and gold from back in the day.

I remember when BAR came into it around 96, they had a nice car, half and half livery.

One of the most odd looking ones was a Ferrari back in the very early 90's, which had what looked like long handles stuck to the front of it, vertically for downforce. It looked fucking crap.

BAR was 1999, which became Honda, then Brawn, then Mercedes:

not sure what you mean by long handles.

Caterham was last year's Lotus, Lotus was Renault and they were black and gold last year.

there s few new rules too,

When the safety car is out, the 1 round behind cars can go tho nd get back into the lap.

they now can use all 11 tieres sets in trainings

the race is limited to max 4 hours, coz of canada last year.

in a duell, when a leading car has defended hes position by blocking/changing the line, he ain t allowed to return on the ideal racing line again.

Loved that BAR car.

The Ferrari one, well they were like really tall wing mirrors but were there for downforce. I remember everyone taking the piss out of it in the commentary when it made its debut.
Can't find any images of it, which is making me a bit worried I dreamt the whole fucking thing.

rule 1, unlapping under the safety car is good.
rule 4, imho isn't, because it's unfair with DRS as it is and it's just making it too easy to overtake, they should be able to defend within reason.

also why is your season stopping in singapore lol?<br /><br />-- Fri Feb 03, 2012 11:19 am --<br /><br />

well in my F1 comp last year 2nd place had picked Webber and only finished 1 point behind the winner who picked Vettel.

so even if the racing is boring the comp isn't lol.
