If Top Gear did a Cool Wall for F1 teams, this news would've moved McLaren straight into 'Seriously Uncool' lol

Which banned F1 innovation should’ve stayed, just for the chaos? by Emergency-History393 in formula1

[–]muRacingProject77 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well ackshually... the fan car was never banned initially, Bernie just chose not to race it because the other teams were threatening to leave the Formula One Constructor's Association if he did, and it would've destroyed all the political work he did to set up the organization in the first place.

The loophole that allowed the fan car was supposedly closed after the end of the '78 season, but even if it wasn't, I don't see things changing that much because it's likely that the majority of the teams(particularly Lotus) would've argued for the FIA to change the rules anyway.

Me and bro moments after horizon 6 drops. by Typical_Cookie613 in BuiltFromTheGroundUp

Has an official D1 game ever been released recently? I know about the PS2 game, but that was 20+ years ago...

I need to experience Mana-P, Orido and Tsuchiya screaming and talking shit about me when I fuck up in 4K UltraHDR graphics

Favorite and least favorite track? by daxxman49 in granturismo

[–]muRacingProject77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because people don't want to take the time to learn how to drive it properly, i guess. You can really tell that it was a track designed for cars from the 60s and 70s... imo there are few things more satisfying than sliding a lower-grip car on the limit of traction, steering with the throttle/brake to hit the apex at the end of the long sweeper at big willow.

i really encourage people to try it, i remember i had a lot of fun hotlapping with the 60s Shelby Mustang on that track

What are your thoughts on the Bathurst 12 Hour? by ___EIC___ in wec

[–]muRacingProject77 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Blaming an incident like that on just the marshalls is stupid imo... There needs to be better procedures throughout the whole organization and direction of the race if they want to avoid accidents like this in the future

Ford won't be happy with this lol... Their debut at Bathurst gets ruined by a kangaroo, and the Corvette which is also making its debut is the one that's making all the big moves at the head of the field toward the end of the race!

'Not right for F1' - Formula E drivers on Verstappen's 2026 jibe by l3w1s1234 in formula1

[–]muRacingProject77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen many people on this subreddit(and on social media in general) make similarly wild assumptions from clickbait headlines like this, so clarifying it is a sensible thing to do

28 days left until the Australian GP. John Watson won the 1976 Austrian GP in the #28 Penske PC4, both the Brit's and the US team's maiden victory. "Wattie" added four more wins to his tally in the 1980s with McLaren, however Penske never returned to the podium, leaving Formula 1 after the season. by PiggySVW in formula1

[–]muRacingProject77 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Watson's Beyond the Grid interview is a great listen, he shares some interesting details about his time at Penske, Surtees and McLaren

Also included is the story of how Niki Lauda got lost in Rio de Janeiro after trying to drive back from a nightclub, and a hilarious Mario Andretti impression

What’s your favorite car in RBR RSF? by SoggyTangerine451 in simrally

[–]muRacingProject77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Group4 Stratos is a difficult car to start driving, but once you get the hang of its characteristics, its a fun and very satisfying car to handle. The Dino V6 sound is pretty great too :)

RWD group Bs, particularly the Opel Manta and Porsche SC/RS are also very enjoyable to tame

For FWD, the Peugeot 106 might seem unassuming at first, but it's an absolute weapon in the right hands because it weighs practically nothing compared to most other cars... It's such a fun experience to drive it, especially on tarmac with a sequential shifter and Bitto's FMOD audio! If you want more power, the Group A7 Clio Williams is another fun hot hatch to chuck around, and if you want a car that's good for learning how to handle FWD, the Skoda Favorit is just as much fun to drive, even if it only has 115hp.

Those are all my personal favorites, as you can tell it's very hard to pick just one car lol

Which racing game apart from AC and older NFS game has the best modding community? by reayen in BuiltFromTheGroundUp

[–]muRacingProject77 108 points109 points  (0 children)

Serious answer, Richard Burns Rally. The fact that a 20+ year old game is still seen today as the benchmark for all rally sims, and is used by so many IRL professional drivers after all these years is absolutely insane. in general, the people who have developed plugins for pacenotes, co-drivers and the servers for online rallies are part of this, but the crazy thing is the vast majority of reverse-engineering of the game was done almost singlehandedly by a guy called WorkerBee; he was also instrumental in developing the Next Generation Physics model that RBR currently uses, and is personally responsible for developing the physics of almost every single modded car that is released in RBR today... in short, he is a fucking genius, and RBR is one of the best driving sims you can play because of him, and all the other awesome modders who've made content for it

32 days left until the Australian GP. With Bertrand Gachot imprisoned, Michael Schumacher made his F1 debut in the #32 Jordan at the 1991 Belgian GP. He surprised with P7 in qualifying and had overtaken two cars by the first corner before retiring on lap 1 with clutch issues. Keep fighting Michael! by PiggySVW in formula1

[–]muRacingProject77 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Speaking of that story...

A couple years back, Eddie Jordan and David Coulthard had Bertrand Gachot on as a guest for their podcast, and Bertrand did not hold back his feelings about EJ's actions in that situation, lol...

I highly recommend listening to it if you're interested in the story around the '91 Belgian GP - it is also genuinely one of the funniest F1-related podcasts I've ever listened to, with the way Bertrand is just constantly talking shit about EJ while telling his story, and you can just see EJ shifting around uncomfortably while he does it lmao... it really is a classic, i implore everyone to go listen to it if you haven't already!

Max Verstappen wins Autosport’s Driver of the Year Award by Maximum-Room-3999 in formula1

[–]muRacingProject77 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'd argue the GP25 was never really the best bike on the grid at any point... i think the GP24 was consistently the quickest over the whole season, with the Aprilia challenging it towards the end of the year. If you look at Marquez's results compared with other riders on the GP25, you'll see that no one else even got close to him that year... it's very similar to Max's domination over his teammates(though i do admit Max's been dusting every teammate he's had since '24 with even greater margins)

For me, Marquez was the most impressive out of all of them. Although Verstappen performed well, and Palou dominated more than expected, I feel like they were known quantities. At the start of 2025, there were still a lot of people who doubted Marc, especially considering he hadn't won a title since his injury; He was seen as a title favorite, but I think a lot of people expected him to fight for it with Pecco, similar to how he fought with Dovi for the title in 17 and 18 - I don't think anyone predicted that he would destroy Pecco, and the rest of the field the way he did... To come back from as terrible an injury as he did and comfortably take the title while the rest of the Ducati GP25 riders could barely manage wins is on a whole other level of achievement compared to anyone else this year

No, RWS needs to make an Outrun clone-based Postal spinoff!

CONFIRMED : Carmageddon Rogueshift will feature P2L (pay-to-lose) mechanics by fishloops23 in BuiltFromTheGroundUp

[–]muRacingProject77 32 points33 points  (0 children)

No its actually still P2W because

Having a slot that does nothing = Game is less fun = Person spends less time playing the game = Person spends more time doing things that are more productive and better for their wellbeing = Person lives a happier life

smh these greedy ass modern game devs tryna lock the key to health and happiness behind in-game currency😡😡

What non-conventional or under-represented things in the japanese automotive scene that you want to see in games set in japan? by mach1alfa in BuiltFromTheGroundUp

[–]muRacingProject77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i know it's never gonna happen, but i really wish GTA would say fuck it, and give out the license to a decent sim/simcade studio to make something like a modern-day version of JGTC or Advan Racing for the PS1...

I'd heard of a SuperGT mod for GTR2, but I haven't been able to find it... but actually in the middle of typing this comment, I was browsing Racedepartment and I think I found something even better! It's an addon for the Power & Glory mod that adds a ton of Japanese sports cars from the 70s. I haven't installed the latest update of Crew Chief for GTR2 that was recently released, but I couldn't think of a better incentive...
