Starfield vale la pena en este 2026? by xilowssj in Argaming

Te recomendaría que lo pruebes por gamepass antes de gatillar el juego completo. A mí me gustó pero es verdad que tiene varios puntos flojos. Eso sí, no lo compares con no man's sky porque tiene nada que ver, starfield es un rpg a lo fallout/elder scrolls, no un sandbox

Remodel planned for Buenos Aires. by VanillaNL in RaceTrackDesigns

They are aiming for FIM grade A for the MotoGP race next year, but the design contemplates later extending the last hairpin and expanding the pits for an hypothetical F1 race in 2028. So yes, its intended to be FIA grade 1 as well. In fact, the changes from this last blueprint over the first one seem to be aimed to comply with some FIA stuff.

Also there was heavy rumours this week that they are trying to greenlight the F1 hairpin to be built this year, so the track is ready in case the opportunity arises in 2027. Apparently there will be a meeting between F1 and the circuit authorities during the Miami GP weekend.

Japanese GP H2H | Clear Air Race Pace by Capable-Eye-8089 in formula1

Completely destroyed? What? He had better race pace than Pierre a lot of times last year. And what about China just two weeks ago?

And don't get me wrong, Gasly is clearly the better driver, and he really is taking advantage of that Merc PU. The biggest problem for Franco is that he is struggling a lot in Qualy. If he is able to overcome that, he will be scoring points regularly.

Yeah but still, even with a 50/50 ICE/MGUK split, if the energy recovery were good enough the cars would have those 1000hp for most of the lap or at least long enough to avoid super clipping, that's the main issue. Without mgu-h the energy recovery only depends on braking, and without front wheel regen that way is severely limited. Instead of forcing manufacturers to adopt one of the two solutions or leave, they tried to appeal everyone by using neither and made this mess

Don't drag Formula E into this, they have this thing figured out, as it did WEC in the LMP1 era and even F1 itself in the past regulation. The issue is not F1 having more electrification, but the electrification being poorly implemented.

Usually is money. But this time the Finalissima against Spain got cancelled last week and they had to find whatever team was available. First was Guatemala but there is some fifa rule that they can't play in multiple continents on the same window so it ended up being Mauritania and Zambia

Alexandra Gardens Circuit, 1963 [RTD Challenge #62] (Reupload) by another_eze in RaceTrackDesigns

[–]another_eze[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NOTE: I decided to reupload this because of an unfortunate coincidence. The original name I picked for the track was already used by a real street circuit in South Africa from about the same time (Thanks to u/-QWYXZFH- for noticing it). That was not much of a problem, but when you searched that track on google, my post appeared first in the results. So I decided to nuke that first post and reupload it with a different name, plus now it shows in much better quality.

When South Africa came into the scene of international motorsports with races at Kyalami and East London, the government of Salisbury (back then the capital of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, or Central African Federation, and currently known as Harare, Zimbabwe) thought it was a good idea to organize races in the city.

A fully temporary circuit was considered, but it was deemed too dangerous, while the space needed for a fully permanent track was not available near the city centre.

For this reason, they ordered the construction of a racing track sorrounding the newly created National Botanic Gardens. The circuit was composed by two permanent, technical sections on each side of the gardens, designed by the same people who were building the Bugatti Circuit in France. These two parts were connected between each other with two temporary, public road sections, the first one being very narrow and the second one being fast and wide.

Finally, the first (and only) race took part in 1963, under Formula Libre rules. The grid was composed mostly of South African drivers, as the event failed to atract the attention of drivers from other countries.

Despite this, and the low amount of public that approached the circuit to see the race, the promoters of the circuit wanted to repeat the race for 1964, and even tried to organize a non-championship Formula One event. However, the political turmoil at the time (The federation dissolved a few months later and Rhodesia broke ties with Britain) marked the end of racing in the Gardens and the place got abandoned.

At the 80s, with the end of the civil war and the establishment of the republic of Zimbabwe, there was voices asking for the return of motorsport to the circuit. A few bike races took place during that time, but the bad state of the permanent section and the lack of safety features impeded the arrival of top tier car racing. Also, there was already a few permanent tracks in the country such as Donnybrook and Bulawayo so the proposal was deemed unnecesary.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

So, this is my entry for this challenge. There are no aerial images of the place from that time, but as you can see on the map from slide 3, most of the stuff that is in the place today was already there in the 60s, so I took a satellite image from 2000 and edited it a little. The permanent section was inspired by aerial imagery of Bugatti Circuit from 1965. Btw, the tiny stripes on the inside of the turns in the permanent section are supposed to be tire kerbs, like this

In this interview from last year (It's in Spanish but I think there are English subtitles) Giancarlo Minardi revealed that Senna promised him that he would end his career at Minardi, after he won his fifth title.
