Still not sure whether there is much of an aerodynamic difference between the lose noses pre-1994 and the modern day noses.

What? I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how EXCITED HE IS.

I have to agree with him. The nose is too low, the car looks boring, there's no real elegance. I prefer the late 90s-mid 00 cars.

nah i love em, they got this classic look to them. but they just dont match up against modern cars.
i mean a ferrari f40 is real nice, but its not as good looking as a aston martin dbs or a ferrarri 458.
late 90's cars looked real nice. And last years rb7 is my favorite looking car in recent years.
look at this beauty
who could forget about these days and how amazing the cars looked

Yes! My internet is back. Just in time as well.
I still like Jaguar's F1 car from 2003
Others like these too
This just looks so boss
And whilst I'm not going to argue that this was one of the best looking cars ever, I think that it's still a very special one, credit to Ferrari.
I quite liked them too truth be told.

I guess everyone has their tastes. I prefer the batshit insane wings of the 2008 season.

Such a beautiful looking car.
It would be nice if the wide wings returned for the 2014 season, but I doubt it.
Whoa speaking of old F1 cars did you guys see this?

Needs more rear wings.
I'm in agreement. That shape with dat colour scheme (never getting sick of the Caterham/Team Lotus British Racing Green/yellow) looks magical. I haven't seen the other cars in GP2, but that has to be one of the best looking cars on track in any format today.
Probably
Dude seriously has to work on his starts. It'd be impossible to count just how many weekends he's lost because of it.Ugh, British Racing Green again. There needs to be more of it on everything.I still like Jaguar's F1 car from 2003
Wasn't planning on it, but at the rate this work is going then I'll probably still be up. Can't concentrate on FP1 too much or I'll still be working by the time FP2 starts...
Do you have the GP2 times handy as well?
Might be on for a bit.
Actually looked them up too, just didn't post them because I thought maybe not enough interest here for them. Will post in a sec.
Malaysian Grand Prix Support Timetable (GP2)
This is GP2, for the F1 timetable check this post
GMT Times - all from GP2 and respective UK broadcasters sites.
I don't know if anyone else in the UK has any rights over GP2 as of right now, I think Eurosport doesn't so I just have the Sky times.

Thanks. I'll record and re-watch the races later in the day.
I miss the batshit crazy F1 cars too. But obviously Formula One could not continue to go in that direction and remain financially viable.
I always imagine what it would be like if McLaren, Ferrari, Mercedes and if you go back to the .com boom glory days BMW & Toyota went all out and had maximum budget caps of say $250 million. Double diffusers, blown diffusers, DRS, KERS etc. etc. were all allowed and a lot more room for innovation, how cool would that be?
I guess that's what we see in Adrian Newey and Red Bull's project car and GT5.
Although it's not an F1 car, look at this beauty that I just came across that was that Sebring. Personally, a well executed Martini livery looks better than a Gulf themed livery. that said the recent Aston Martin racecars with that baby blue-ish colour look amazing.

Is this new from Sky?
"If you'd like to change your registered devices you can do so once a calendar month."
Because when testing it out I changed devices four times last weekend without any problems. Fuckers.

The Longer/Sprint setup isn't that uncommon. I don't know exactly why they do it, but like that they do. It gives the drivers TWO chances to race (wreck in race 1, you can still race in race 2) over the weekend, and the inverted points positions puts the race winner in 8th place for the 2nd race, making them fight through the field to get back up front.

Sounds pretty interesting!
Not sure I'll watch it live but I will watch them.

Just been reading the forum and apparently not, it's a hard limit. I wonder why it didn't trigger last weekend.
