Volkswagen Group in F1 good for the sport. Will they eventually buy Toro Rosso?

Toyota will finally win!

LMP1 is awesome, bur the grid is too small and uneven. These faster LMP2 being the top class could make things interesting with the huge grid they have.

That blows. Means Toyota will likely pull out too.

Zeknurn · Jul 27, 2017

LMP2 becoming the new top series would probably be better anyway.

Autobild reports theyre only joining Formula E.
Department wanted to join Formula 1 but higher ups said its too expensive for now(due to the new cartel scandal).

Jibbed · Jul 27, 2017

They're allowing the teams to develop aero fairings on the halo in 2018, can extrude no further than 20mm from the basic Y shape apparently.

As if they didn't look bad enough already...

It's not yet relevant until 2020/21, when cost will go down anyways. And they were spending 250 million a year on their current programme. So I'm sceptical about this rumor. We'll see.

Speaking of Autobild, they seem to think Nico Rosberg will be the Formula E team boss for the Merc team.

Line_HTX · Jul 27, 2017

Calling off engine deal for 2018... So does that mean that Alonso will finally get a finish consistently?

You mean a LMP2 car is going to win. Toyota will find a way to fuck it up even if they are the only ones racing in LMP1.

Sad month for motorsport fans, first DTM and now WEC received a serious blow.

Formula E will soon need to host double races to get all the teams on the grid. :/

FE is the future after all.

FrankCanada97 · Jul 27, 2017

ACO should consider allowing the IMSA DPi's to compete at Le Mans.

Vettel's recent comments re the halo make it clear what kind of deal he made with the FiA.

After reading about the new owner of Sauber Honda shouldn't be associating themselves with that dead wife hiding junky degenerate.

Sure, why not.

The halo already seems like it would snag stuff in crashes, like the razor aero elements on the barge boards if a car went over another one.

Lol halo promotion is at full swing. The F1 youtube channel didn't show any negative comments on the halo (especially the one from Magnussen) in their driver's press conference recap.

While it's great that Liberty is uploading so much stuff to the channel, it bums me out that we get only a massively edited version of the press conferences.

Check out the F1 Interviews channel, they upload all the drivers conferences and stuff like Ted's Notebook but only for a limited time so that their account doesn't get taken down (again).

Don't think she was super famous, she quit fairly young I think. Only thing I've seen her in was Jackie Chan's City Hunter movie.

This news popped in my local feeds today.
https://sanbenito.com/2017/07/27/formula-one-floated-san-juan-bautista/

San Juan Bautista planning commissioners will revisit an ambitious proposal to transform a nearby 550-acre ranch into a world-class car racing destination at its regular meeting next week. On August 1, the five-member board will hear from WY2M, Inc., a Los Gatos-based company that wants to bring Formula One Grand Prix and GP Moto Racing to San Benito County.

Location wise, the proposed spot is about 45 minutes north of Laguna Seca and about 40 minutes south of San Jose's airport. While I would love a F1 race so close to me, I really don't see F1 ever racing at the track 'if' the track is even built.

"GP Moto Racing"

I would suggest they learn about the kinds of racing series they want to attract before they break ground.

While COTA exists, MotoGP and F1 are going nowhere else.

I'm sure bernie's dictator friends really cared about those details.

But yeah, COTA exists and F1 will probably just want a major city street circuit for any additional US f1 race.
