F1 Virtual Grand Prix

Those of you berating it for not being sim enough or professional enough, lighten up! It's the first time this has been done and it's a bit of fun.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, even with the technical hiccups. As someone said earlier, it was more entertaining than some of the real f1 races over the past few years.

I'm glad they're trying to something, maybe it will take a while get the ball rolling

In the mean time we do have marble racing

Great race last night. Those last few laps! Just wow!

I enjoyed it, was a good laugh - as someone who plays f1 2019 without any of the driver aids, it is bloody hard! I realise its not full sim racing but its still very difficult, especially to be consistent and not spin the car

The nascar one was also excellent last night

Would love to build my own run, could be entertaining and time consuming, great for these current times lol

Cracking video of Lando calling up other drivers asking for tips (he started last on the grid).

Genuine lol @ George Russell

 

[The_Abyss]

Haha, that's brilliant!

Amazing to see Stoffel using a G29!

One thing I really wonder about....
I assume these guys are using no aids at all.....
The G29 has really spongy brakes that are a bitch to work honestly spoken, Ive even switched to the clutch pedal as my brake pedal....

Pretty sure they said that they all had traction control and ABS set to on.

They could choose.

Ah sweet... wonder if there is anyway to determine what each driver was using!

On older game’s there’s an icon next to the driver name when it shows the final result.

 

[Mr Jack]

Anyone watching? Interesting cast of drivers this time.

 

[steve45]

Yeah, much better lineup this race. Impressively close times so far! Fully expecting the same carnage at the start, wouldnt be sim racing without T1 carnage.

 

[Cavallino]

Yep! Got Jimmy on Youtube and watching on Sky1 also!

 

[Lopéz]

Yep, watching Jimmy Broadbent's stream now. Just clipped a stranded Lando Norris at the start of a hot lap.

EDIT

Still really weird watching names like Lando Norris and Johnny Herbert above cars and knowing it's the ACTUAL Lando Norris and Johnny Herbert

 

[Mr Jack]

So much action.

 

[Tombstone]

I'm probably unusual in that I dont find it as interesting with more actual drivers in it. I really liked seeing how some of the more gamer types did against actual drivers last time round. A chance to see how someone with hundreds of hours in a game fared against someone with actual race experience (and vice versa), with it being mostly all actual drivers this time, its lost that particular style of interest to me. Still good to watch but not (for me at least) as interesting a line up as last time.

Incredible watching the Esports Pro Exhibition race afterwards. These guys are so much faster.
