if they took out 500 of the unnecessary airbags and insulation then threw away the entertainment system and replaced it with a simple radio, it'd be light enough to not need a stupid amount of power going through the front wheels

car manufacturers are getting worse as time goes on.

why doesn't anybody make an affordable, lightweight sedan, coupe or sports car that doesn't have a retarded amount of power?

Mazda MX-5 and I guess the Fiat version of that

But otherwise, safety bullshit and the propensity for the average person to want comfort above actual performance. People say they want that, but alot of 'car people' who ride in my car (has no a/c, no safety, old bucket seats) complain about everything.

Power/torque is just a number. It's like saying how much you can lift. Frankly it doesn't matter, but it impresses idiots.

But with the Type R, AWD would fix it too. It's just stupid that it's FWD. Clinging to things for tradition is one thing, but FWD is a downside in all ways (except safety perhaps).

Hard to make cars light when they keep building them bigger with more equipment and safety features. If the car gets heavier, it needs more power to be faster than the preceding model. You're pretty much stuck with the MX5 or GT86 if you can't stretch to a BMW Z4, Merc SLK or Nissan 370Z

Vettel's back out on softs. Ferrari's just metronomically going through its programme today. This morning was all about nailing it on the mediums, now it's about longer runs on softs. It is, dare we say it, Mercedes-esque.

Mercedes is sandbagging hard until Q3. They will do their jewery and turn up their engines to a setting no other Mercedes-powered car has.

I don't believe that Ferrari has better aero than Mercedes, and they surely don't have a better engine than Mercedes. How the fuck are they going to be faster than Merc?

I would love it, but I won't believe it until I see it.

What the fresh fuck are Honda doing? It's not like they can be this incompetent right?

Anyone who works or has worked in any sort of design/manufacturing thing that isn't on a conveyour-belt "do this same task and build the same product forever until you retire" kinda thing, surely knows that if different parts of a company, or if even 1 person responsible for designing something is located elsewhere, it generally ends up in miscommunication or simply time wasted because communication is not as efficient. I honestly think it must be something like this with McLaren and Honda, McLaren requesting a good engine, Honda says ok ok we do good engine we promise u bb, then proceed to sperg out for a few months and simply assure McLaren everything will be fine because they are Honda blah blah, then give McLaren a shitbox engine 3 years in a row and continue the ooo so dishonroaburruru we fire main guy we give new guuy we fix engine ok 300 hp more ok hai

Not everyone is bankruptcymode like Marussia and Sauber, tho I do wish there was an option to use your old chassis to save money. It's probably some game mechanics reason rather than an oversight. It doesn't seem like the tech regs change at all season to season, only the sporting regs, so that's probably why.

Your parts should have the performance of the best part from last season in car a and second best in car b. Is your game updated?

This is why you should build parts with illegal and improve their performance before the next season. I usually stop developing my car and focus on this in the last races if my car is good enough.

How did Honda/Mclaren fuck up so bad? Even if they can't run a test car 24/7 in the offseason, surely they have shaker rigs which would've shown elementary design flaws?

The only way I can figure it is that Honda knows they are so far behind that the only way to build a competitive engine under the current regulations is via some radical breakthrough. They are crippled by a lack of development miles because of MUH ONE TEAM mentality and by the simple fact that they introduced their engine a year after the regulation changes and probably 3 years after Mercedes started theirs.

If Mclaren sticks with Honda they're effectively trying to weather the storm until the next big change, which could easily be years away since this kind of thing hasn't had any serious discussion yet (who knows with Liberty though). That means several more years of Mclaren as a quick yet unreliable midfielder, which would be a shamfur dispray for Honda with the amount of support they have put towards the project. I actually wouldn't be surprised if Honda pulls out well before they build a respectable engine, which would certainly put Mclaren in an interesting position.

I really wonder what Mclaren will do if Honda goes. For the last few decades they have almost always been a de facto manufacturer team and I can't see them willing to become a #2 team to someone with an actual team. Even if they were willing, there might not be a place for them as a strong #2 on another engine. Renault has Red Bull, Mercedes has Williams & FI, and Ferrari has no interest.

I guess Mclaren would end up back at Mercedes, since we know they can produce another team's worth of engines. Plus, I bet Mercedes is so far ahead on their overall package it wouldn't be a threat. The return to Mercedes would be hilarious, I think, since it would make the stain of the Honda experiment all for nothing. Maybe they will white out their statistics for 2015-2020 like they crop those Marlboro logos on the old Mclarens.

Here's a crazy idea, but it could work

McLaren should become an engine manufacturer

They already make their own engines for their road cars (the twin turbo V8 in the P1 is a mclaren engine, based off some old Nissan design that they bought the rights to, but with heavy modification, with help from a private engineering company called Ricardo PLC - no, not ricciardo, so don't make that joke)

They should buy this Ricardo company and pump money into it for f1 engine development - after all that's what Mercedes did with ilmor right?

McLaren have apparently decided they're too good to have anything other than a unique engine, so this is basically their only alternative to Honda, unless they want to be a customer again (which I actually think is a good choice, because it's better than languishing with Honda shit)

But yes imagine if they made their own engine. Ferrari do it. Why not mclaren? Mclaren have a bigger budget than ferrari. Yes I know their business models are completely different, but still, mclaren should do it.

Rotaries are just a meme.

Mazda is actually pushing efficiency pretty hard now in their R&D (even supplying tech to Toyota) and marketing. So out of the Japanese manufacturers, they'd be one of the most likely to be lured by the current F1 engine formula.

Only problem is, they're Mazda, so they can't afford it.

That's just a convenient excuse.

Audi were never going to last in WEC once Porsche showed up. The last few years have just been VAG doing a long drawn out "passing of the torch" so people didn't accuse the Porsche of being an Audi with a Porsche badge like they have if Audi dropped out one year and Porsche took their place the next.

The test start to get boring. The teams are obviously afraid to show their true pace and we won't get any quicker times till they are done.

Everybody's focusing on McLaren, but Torro Rosso hasn't done much laps either in this test or the previous. Anybody knows what's wrong over there? Not much talk about them.. I know they had engine problems last week, but one engine can't be the cause of so few laps on the board.
>>
>>74556462
I think making their own engines would be too expensive for McLaren right now as they don't have trillions of cash after a couple of unsuccessful years and the new engines require too much cash, people and other resources to develop, much more than the old V8s. There's a reason why only big car manufacturers produce them (Ferrari have Fiat behind them) and why they eventually refuse any outside help (both Honda and Renault did despite having some trouble).

That said, McLaren's decision to go for a new engine was the only option to challenge for the championship. Now then whether they should have aimed for the championship is another story as it may have been better to stick with the 3/4 place in the CC and wait until better times and regulations. The private teams besides RB lost the political game for this generation, and even RB had to compromise a lot with Renault.

Can't say how it's been historically, but Red Bull sandbagged a lot during its domination years. Mercedes doesn't seem to be sandbagging quite that much.

GOAT drivers do whatever they can to win, like Schumi pushing people to a wall.

Betacucks follow the rules and get fucked, like Rosberg every time he tried to overtake Hamilton.
