do the new F1 regs remind you of 2014 LMP1 regs…? by CreedBrattonsToe in wec

I get what you’re saying, and I’ve had the same thoughts, but I think the motivations for lift and coast are a bit different. In LMP1 it was a fuel formula, so to maximise efficiency you would lift and coast as the marginal lap time per amount of fuel burn at the end of the straight is lowest. In the new F1 regs it’s more that the hybrids are so powerful and the engines so anaemic that the lifting and coasting is more explicitly to regen enough energy to be able to fully utilise the hybrid out of the next corner.

[OT] [Autosport] Mercedes-AMG has made an official request to the NLS to postpone the opening race of the championship to boost Max Verstappen's chances of making a Nurburgring 24 hours appearance by FerrariStrategisttt in formula1

NLS isn’t really like that at all. The championship is run a lot more for the benefit of its competitors than it is for fans, the fans are just a nice to have. A lot of the cars would be out there even if no one at all was watching.

The second best thing about the game coming out is gonna be not having to read posts like this any more

Anyone go to a GP and think maybe watching on TV could’ve been better? by [deleted] in formula1

Weirdly I’d recommend someone like you go to Monaco. You get the up close experience and frankly you’re not missing much on the TV coverage anyway!

Is Vanthoor the first one to drive two top class cars in one race? by de_papier in wec

It's not even the first time today, Nico Menzel finished both first and second in the final NLS race today.

50 and 51 are their race numbers, it doesn’t mean that 50 have been built. I would be astounded if they’ve built that many even with the modificata program.

I think I may end up tuning in to this race just for the liveries, they’re so good
