Well the tyres in the simulation games explode in exactly the same manner if you spend too long on them. I don't think we've seen any on-track evidence but that's because no one has pushed them to the limit on such a high-speed circuit. If Codemasters knows what happens, so should the F1 teams.

If Ted Kravitz' "The reason WHY Ferrari spend so much time doing practice starts is BECAUSE they tend to get good starts on Sundays" was posted here, this thread would be over now! ;)

But as it is... I'll go with another CP 'classic "He takes the same lines as Hamilton does and Schumacher did". Irrefutable fact?.. or tenuous link to two of the most talented drivers ever? Take your pick!

Still CP was not half as bad as a other commentor. He would only post that MV where the best without arguments CP tried to build a case why he felt that way.

Ok, here's one for you:

 

"I never liked American Wrestling because it wasn't real, the same reason the Worlds of blue pillers are just utterly boring...my focus will go back to the actual reality, which is far more interesting as kicking against the Matrix of which most people want to live in (reality is a bit too difficult to swallow for most)...I enjoyed the psychological insights you have given me in the minds of race fans, but to say it has opened my mind, not at all, it showed merely a standard pattern without much deviation of the norm (except it being far more prevalent)...so keep enjoying things which are never there and by so missing out what goes on the real World...it never ceases to amaze me how many people want to see things only the way they like them to be, instead of how they actually are, but thank God I'm not one of them..."

 

 

That gave me a laugh. Blue pills, the Matrix and most people not being able to deal with reality because, in esscence they didn't agree that Max Verstappen wasn't the biggest news since the birth of Little Baby Jesus. Please!

I know how to use the quote button, but within the context ot this thread I feel it's the quotes that are funny, not where they come from or who posted them. Otherwise you run the risk of it becoming a thread about individual poster(s), which isn't the purpose of this topic.

 

PS: With regard to formatting advice. You might want to modify post #1 in this thread to fit within the criteria you have laid out.

 

 

Cheers.

Okay, so my collections of favourites from this season:
 
Paul B on not being at Sonoma:

Mascot getting an Emma hug, bastard.


Ross Stonefeld on... something.

Just discovered a mountain bike race is start at 2pm Eastern, less than a mile from my house.

Debating to do the most Indycar-thread thing ever and enter. Because I've never done a mountain bike race before. Trying to calculate if last place finish from previous years would get me back to my house, exhausted and mauled by a bear, in time for the first of multiple attempts at a green flag start.

If we had better cell coverage out here I'd sign up to Periscope and live stream going over a cliff for you all. As like a sort of meta Mystery Science Theatre 3000.


Nick Wirth's racing record in open-wheelers:

It just dawned on me: was Louisiana Nick Wirth's first single seater victory?

Nah, I won loads of races on Psygonsis' Formula 1 on the PS1 for Simtek.


The magic of Indycar:

I have absolutely no idea who is going to win this title.

Me neither, but if you told me the race results I'd still have no idea who'd won


Red17 gives someone a stream.

ENR2_AfterRestoration%20.JPG

If you look closely, you can spot Peter Sauber fishing for manufacturers


Vitesse2 explains cricket:

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.
When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!


And lastly, my absolute favourite because it makes me laugh for reasons I wouldn't be able to pinpoint even with a researched dissertation, is prommer's instinctive reply to a fox arriving on the scene at Pocono. I lose it every time I read it, maybe because it's the summation of every possible emotion experienced during an Indycar race, complete with a lack of punctuation. :rotfl:

WHAT THE HELL

Maybe more later. I owe you guys a 'season in review' post having seen the last race now.

You would think so, but in the short time I've spent on here, I've noticed that things sometimes get personal quite quickly, hence my caution and nothing more than that. And if my back wasn't stinging so much, I'd sit in my chair and find a few more gems I've observed. But it does, so it'll have to wait for a while.

 

In the mean time, have fun!

I just love this gem by Neil in the Le Mans chat.

 

 

Option1 (Sat 17:28) I was born one of the years Fangio won the championship. :(

Risil (Sat 17:29) A gentleman never reveals which of the years Fangio won the championship he was born in

 

Option1 (Sat 17:30) Exactly, Risil.

And Sheepy, I work on the basis that I'm only as old as the woman I feel.

Option1 (Sat 17:31) I aim on feeling 25 for ever...

 

I use this quote irl. It is divine wisdom.

From a discussion on the merits or otherwise of the metric system over imperial.

NO!!! No, using liters simply gives the taxing authority the power to apply the same amount of taxation to about 25% of the amount of gas. This may be a great idea for the taxing authority, but not for the motorist. How does this effect ME? Well, for starters, it leads to HUGE lines of Canuks filling their cars up in Bellingham, Washington so that I (and other locals) can't even get in line to buy gas. :mad:

Heh. I'd removed three threads before I had the chance to get into his profile to block him. You should have seen the PMs he sent me! Mad as a box of frogs. He's not the first to have made that claim either - there have even been claims that Colin Chapman is still alive and living in the Brazilian jungle. Along with Elvis, Marilyn, Jim, Jimi, Janis, Old Uncle Tom Cobbley and all ...

 

All carefully filed away in the Black Archive - the bourne from which no post returns. But which we mods can use for blackmail. :p

CurbPainter was good, but I still think The Altar Of Hope was one of the best threads ever started. it was in Paddock Club, so here's just one highlight for anyone who missed it:

 

I'm afraid it's too late and I've already seen the light; converted by my 3 year old daughter I have come to realise beyond any doubt whatsoever that the one true Prophet is none other than Peppa Pig. I share your sentiment, but must unfortunately as a Piggist amend your words to reflect the one truth. 

 

I see them afraid. I see them insecure. I see them sad. I see them desperate, particularly if the satellite's playing up and they can't get Nickleodeon.

 

The only thing all of them have in common they never let Peppa Pig in their heart.

 

They ridicule the thought of a Daddy Pig, Peppa and George.

 

They call Her "cartoon friend". They feel smart because of it. They feel superior to others because of it. They feel more evolved because of it. They've even watched the Arts Channel.

 

But are they happy? Do they feel comfort? Do they not wish they had a spiritual teacher like Mme Gazelle?

 

It is a sad, sad life when you do not accept Dear Peppa into your heart. When you refuse to beleive that there is Muddy Puddle that awaits each and every one of us. Just remember you must always put your boots on first before jumping in (see - a life lesson for all of us right there). 

 

 

As the disciple Grampy Rabbit once said "it's even better than real.... it's pretend!" 

 

So, no more of this heresy I say from this Toxic Tosser - renounce all others, sing the 'Bing Bong' song daily and give yourselves wholly to our porcine saviour before it's too late and ToysRus have sold out of the treetop playset.

 

:p

Based on, I will eat my Ferrari cap(the one Alonso written on it) if Ferrari hires Verstappen before he is 20 summers old.


Not that i am saying it will happen, but I do not rule it out and I seriously would like to see the guy eat his Ferrari cap, if he gives me his post adress I will send him some ketchup and mustard if Max pulls this one off.
