Motorsport Off Topic Thread

None of the mockups or rumoured leaked pics of any Martini livery makes me think its going to be anything other than pants.

Williams have a tradition of making crap looking liveries. The plane blue testing livery they used this year is better than pretty much anything they have run since the 90's.

Thats definitely the E22 Lotus in Forza5. You can tell by yhd background and the exhaust position.

*edit*
Bah! I was looking at the previous page, didn't realise we'd already moved on.
 
So it'll be another race in a ****-hole location with empty grandstands and no atmosphere, ala Korea. At least Bernie will line his pockets with 4 years of race hosting fees before it gets struck off again.

The bad news is that the country does not score well when it comes to corruption. Transparency International ranks it 127th out of 177 countries, on the same equal of perceived corruption as Russia.

Bernie will feel right at home then.

haha :D
 
If it kicks off interest in Motorsport then good luck to them. If the stands and facilities are still empty after 5+ years then pull it (as done before).
 
Exactly. The fact the circuits have to pay to host a race is completely backwards. They should be paid for the use of their facilities.

I know they're supposed to make their money from promoting ticket sales, but with ever increasing charges from Bernie unless they sell thousands of tickets at £700 a time there is no profit in it for them to keep operating.

Certainly the problem with the Brazilian race the tickets usually start from around R$700-800 with is more than the minimum salary, so prevents most common people from going, and the money they make is mostly for Bernie;)
