Grand Prix Rejects

I'm actually not sure.

I dunno about this new realistic McDonald's mascot reboot, you guys...

Never hire Edvard Munch to scout talent for your F1 team.

Whenever I watch the movie "The Fly II", I take great notice that the main character's name is "Martin Brundle". It was made in 1989, that "other guy" was racing in F1 at the time. So it makes me wonder. "How'd you get your whole leg jammed in the sidepod?!" ...

From then on, the events that transpired here mired in controversy would be forever remembered as "ModNationGate."

This is a thread I thought of that's almost the reverse of the "F1-related things you do" thread. I wonder how many of us are reminded of Formula One by perfectly mundane things and occurrences, and what the oddest instances of them are. For example, I watch this anime review series on TGW...

Pastor wasn't sure what he was going to do to the man who swapped out his MP3s for an infinite loop of "Perry McCarthy Loves The '80s," but when he found him, he was going to make it memorable.

Photo bombing: a lost art amongst F1 drivers because they're all awful at it.

More simulation antics I find online. Life starts as it means to go on.

"So this is for one Grand Prix?"
"Season."
"Same diff."

The arcade he swiped it from promptly gave him several angry calls.

Bruno was unsure how a sponsorship deal with Dreamworks was supposed to boost his performance on-track, but one look at an exhaust over the rear of the Donkey balloon and he knew the whole team had been had.

The first ideas for the Far Cry 3 box art were WEIRD.

Although he didn't look it, Senna took his powersliding and Mini-Turbo opportunities in Mario Kart very, VERY seriously.

"No, no, you're supposed to squeeze higher, at the base of the neck!"

Ayrton's suspicions Alain was trying to throw him off were validated when his explanation of Monza involved something about a trench and a "Millennium Falcon"...

Ah, the romance of the winner's circle! Trophy in one hand, postmodern Jell-O mold in the other...

"Paint Your Own Helmet" day backfires.

"Sculpt Your Own Helmet" day didn't fare much better.

Speaking of that there is also an X2011 in that DLC pack, so if you don't have one of these super-duper-ubercars yet, you can have one then.

Reverie Planetarian

Modern racing as a whole has a lot of bits that displease me. When I think about better racing series I've seen, I can only think about past eras and series that don't exist anymore.

That makes me feel so old.

And I HATE it.

We need to celebrate by doing a time trial series. I propose we call it the "And WHAT is F1R DOING? Extreme Series by Red Bull."

Virgin's F1 effort takes another shelling at an event.

Good, now to wait for the rest of our 1:1 F1 model kit...

Reverie Planetarian

Oh yeah, in all likelihood it is, but I wasn't prepared for the chassis to look like that.

At least it's not a Delta, sure, but I hope there are other chassis out there.

Reverie Planetarian

So...seems like we're getting the turbos in 2013, and the 2012 IndyCar designs revealed thus far look shockingly goofy.

Is it time for fans to, like, just buy and download rFactor and create a Fantasy Mod to get both impressive cars and close racing? We can't have both? Really?

Having to help his fellow drivers when they were colicky was the worst part of Mark Webber's day.

Grand Prix. Full stop.

Reverie Planetarian

The cinematography for Grand Prix had never been done before, and facilitated filmmaking and recording techniques that were far ahead of their time.

Until the crew figured out what those techniques were, they would have to improvise.

Reverie Planetarian

It's contextual. On today's tarmac-runoff-area-heavy circuits, especially if you have lots of aggressive drivers and blocking, somebody's going to leave the track and be in a position where they can rejoin the race without a second thought. Gaining ground and if the move appeared intentional are con...

I want to nominate all those early downforce wing experiments that bolted big wings to the SUSPENSION ARMS.

Any 4WD car in my mind might be eligible for this list, but the Cosworth 4WD F1 experiment is the one I'm going to finger in this case. As I think I said in one of these other "cars that were X or Y" threads, the Cossie was responsible for exacerbating a lot of the problems it was original...

Hayato Kazami goes driving for Renault.

Reverie Planetarian

No comment. Moving on. Two examples I can point to right now: First off is the Arrows A2, along with other early stumbles in ground effect. Nothing like driving down a road and knowing that every single imperfection in the road can, and will, cause you to lose downforce or bottom out, so you're neve...
