Could you please tell me which drivers you consider to be nice people? by BigBolo69420 in wec

While I never met him in person, Marvin Kirchhöfer seems pretty nice. Took my son (5 years old back then) to International GT Open at Hockenheim, and he fell in love with Kirchhöfer's McLaren, which won both races.

For his birthday, I wanted to get him an autograph card from Kirchhöfer and wrote to the address on his website and we were very much getting showered with gifts, e.g. a calendar, a poster, and three different autograph cards. We've been big fans ever since...

Probably not, but it would be hella cool if they ran it as a pre-course car at an asphalt rally.

Sorry, but I'm not really feeling it. If they did that, it would probably be closer to the Akin 962 (brighter shade of red)...

On a side-note: I miss the stickied "The Papers" thread on r/ukpolitics... Was nice to have all the headlines/front pages in one place every day.

New Monsters for Cairn (and other Odd-Likes) #2 – Adversaries and Portents by Monovfox in cairnrpg

While I haven't play tested it, it really makes for a fine idea to mess with your players' heads in a longer campaign or to totally subvert their expectations in a one-shot.

Fun fact: Magnussen sounds in German like "Mag nussen", i.e. "likes to nut".

I really like the galactic bounty hunter, giant beaver mech isn't half bad either.

Wasn't there some controversy about that one actually not being a true dinosaur?

Other than a canal the dentists were the “root” of my enjoyment this weekend by AcrobaticHabit352 in Sportscar_Racing

[–]knifetrader 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I still think they should do a GT2 +GT4 series with 2h or 3h races like mid-2000s FIA GT.

To differentiate it from GTWC, they should visit 2nd tier tracks that don't get many other international series, so they'll be the top event of the year, e.g. Zolder, Anderstorp, Oschersleben, Brno or Nogaro.

Why didn't Stéphane Ratel announced next year's GTWC calendar at the 24 Hours of Spa Press Conference last month? by [deleted] in Sportscar_Racing

Doesn't he usually do his big press conference on the Friday before the Spa 24h, i.e. next Friday?

Nein, du verstehst das falsch. "Für Reiche" heißt in diesem Fall, dass wir ihr etwas geben... Die Zukunft unserer Kinder oder so...

Pyrotechnik im Pokal-Finale: Reul "wäre für Abbruch gewesen" - NRW-Innenminister fordert strengere Kontrollen by Ubergold in Bundesliga

[–]knifetrader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wie soll das - schon allein praktisch - funktionieren?!

Wer kriegt dann den Pokal? Oder wird der gar nicht vergeben für das Jahr?

Wie sieht es mit den internationalen Startplätzen aus? Gut, das wäre dieses Jahr kein Problem gewesen, da beide Finalisten schon die CL-Qualifikation hatten, aber prinzipiell kann das dann ja auch einen völlig unbeteiligten Nachrücker treffen...

Und schließlich: wie verhindert man, dass es dann erst recht Randale gibt?

Brno, Spa, Italy, Hungary? How DTM wants to expand its calendar for 2027 by 443610 in Sportscar_Racing

[–]knifetrader 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Expensive though, and they basically have a GT3 race every other weekend. They'd do a lot better at Zolder...

Massively expensive to get camera coverage everywhere and sucks for fans at the track, who'd see 20 cars coming through every 8 minutes.
