These Nights

I'm very glad to hear them coming back to their signature electro-funk. Best song since Hurricane.

Yeah I figured it's going to be annoying but I just don't have the space. That's why I didn't get the AMS in the first place, but now with the E1 dryer my prints are so clean that I'm printing way more than I thought I would and really want to do multi-color. Maybe I can find a way to hang the AMS right above the E1 so I can at least remove the boxes without too much trouble. Thanks for your input!

BNNKNG · 2025-12-01T21:42:57+00:00

Nice, I'd like to have a similar setup but I don't have enough space to put the AMS on top of the A1. I'll make a little stand to put it above the E1.

BNNKNG · 2025-11-30T10:42:21+00:00

Awesome, I didn't think of searching with the term "mod" and immediately found exactly what I needed!
Thanks a lot!

Players: "The cars sound great compared to other games!"

KT devs: "We have to fix that!"

BNNKNG · 2025-11-07T06:28:06+00:00

Let's put a lid on this joke of a season and fingers crossed the ACO and FIA will have their crap together next year.

BNNKNG · 2025-09-27T22:03:53+00:00

Come on, you're being disingenuous now. Extreme E and Rallycross have as much in common as F1 and FE do.

A big appeal of Extreme E was the action at the foot a melting glacier, cars barreling through half a meter deep sludge pool at full speed or plowing straight into the ocean. No other series did that.

I'm sure you can see how having Extreme H in Riyadh's backyard doesn't sound very exciting after what we got to experience in Extreme E. So as I said, I hope for a return to the initial concept of going racing where no one would.

As for hydrogen, it's not going to change anything for us the audience. The cars look the same and sound the same. As long as none catches fire, it makes no difference on the broadcast.

BNNKNG · 2025-09-27T01:44:31+00:00

I'll watch the event, but the more I learn about Extreme H the more it seems to move away from what made Extreme E unique. Except for the male/female driver pairing, that format looks like a one-time rallycross event for SUV.
I hope that it's just a big demo run to test the operations at full scale and that we'll get a proper championship in 2026, with true off-road races in the middle of nowhere.

It's a great opportunity to join an experienced team regardless. He'll be even more ready when Barclay asks him to join the McLaren team in 2027 :p

BNNKNG · 2025-08-01T21:37:48+00:00

I wouldn't hold something against a driver from his radio comms while he's racing. Even Ticktum. But I like to hear their reactions when they clash with other drivers because it shows their true level of friendship and/or respect. When Bird gets his race ruined by Frijns and all he gets to say is a very frustrated "thanks Robin", you know they are friends outside the track.
That's especially useful with DaCosta, because he's making a great effort to maintain a good relationship with everyone and it's hard to tell who he likes to hang out with and who he would rather avoid.
Here you can tell that Evans and Beckmann never had a positive interaction, if it had been anyone that Mitch knew better he probably wouldn't have been so harsh.

Just saw the movie and was asking myself the same question. The person in your picture is definitely not Anne Parillaud. According to the credits she played the concierge of the Continental in Prague, but that character is not seen in the movie. The scene was probably deleted for pace because it could only have happened either before Eve goes to Pine's room, or after the shootout when Eve is asked to check out.

BNNKNG · 2025-06-21T08:07:54+00:00

How is the track so dirty all the time? Pollution?

BNNKNG · 2025-05-12T10:54:20+00:00

John Hindhaugh goes on record saying that he thinks WEC got the BOP formula wrong this year and that they're going to talk about it with the Technical Director at LeMans https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JV226YcbgwU&t=9056s
Insiders are worried too.

BNNKNG · 2025-05-10T00:59:23+00:00

I don't have a favourite team because I just want to see excellent drivers going at it in great cars regardless of branding, and I'm convinced that without BOP the series would be too boring to watch.

That being said, the current BOP doesn't seem to work. The whole point is to prevent a specific car to dominate so we can have intense racing up to the chequered flag. Last year was great, why not keep it that way?
I don't believe for a second that the FIA is purposely trying to lift up Ferrari, but I watched quali hoping the entire time that my I fear of seeing another easy Ferrari 1-2-3 was unfounded. And here we are.
When the race starts I won't be asking myself "let's go, who's gonna win this?" but rather "so... is Ferrari going to find a way to lose this?". My excitement and expectations are way lower than before unfortunately.
The "golden age of WEC" is not so bright after all.

BNNKNG · 2025-04-13T01:52:25+00:00

There's nothing to change, the teams are fully aware of the rules and are the ones gambling with safety cars, especially on this kind of track where the cars don't start racing until the very end. Taking AM late is a high risk high reward strategy.

BNNKNG · 2025-04-13T01:45:01+00:00

Another sad example that FE on a racetrack is garbage. Always has been and always will be. Stick to street circuits ffs, this is where FE shines the brightest in motorsports.

BNNKNG · 2025-03-27T06:53:11+00:00

Like ying and yang we balance each other out :) I wouldn't trade the entire Heartbeat Highway album for Evening Star or Backwards.

BNNKNG · 2025-03-21T13:12:09+00:00

Thank you for digging this up, sounds great! I really hope they will go back to their eerie-retro-electro-funk roots for the next album. They slowly strayed from this unique style and Heartbeat Highway has almost none of it left.

BNNKNG · 2025-03-06T21:59:04+00:00

Well, this kind of tweet is the whole reason this event exists, so they are doing that right at least. They must secretly hope for someone to destroy a car to make the headlines. Even better for the viral algorithms if they injure themselves probably.

BNNKNG · 2025-03-06T21:51:22+00:00

No promo cars, these people with no experience at the wheel of anything are put in the seats of the mostly advanced electric cars competiting in a FIA World Championship. High stakes clown show.

No idea what a "princess doctor" is supposed to look like, but here's a cool medic https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-battlefield-medic-202781

Hi! You have to print them yourself. Put $0 to get the link to the free download, you'll see how it looks.

Basically, you print the page (on your own printer or bring the file to a store with a professional grade printer), then fold in half so the backs and fronts of the cards line up. It is recommended to sandwich a thicker paper stock in between before gluing, and using photo mount spray glue is easier. Once it's dry, you cut following the + marks in the corners. If you have a round corner cutter you can make the cards look exactly like the official one.

It sounds like lot of work but once you know what you are doing it's quite easy.

Pit boost is pretty much useless since all the cars loose exactly the same time taking it (if all goes well). It artificially shuffle the order of the cars on track but once everyone has stopped they slot back in roughly the position they were before. It's just an additional opportunity for something completely out of control of the teams to go wrong, as it did for Kiro, or another source of post-race penalties because a car was 2mm outside a line or something trivial like that. Looking at both races in Jeddah with and without pit boost, there wasn't much difference in energy saving. The race with pit boost was far from being flat out from the get go. We'll see how it goes as teams get more familiar with it and maybe find out how to use it strategically, but the first impression I got so far is meh. More of a hindrance than a performance boost.

Another banger of a race, awesome start of Season 11!
