REDDIT POLL RESULTS ARE IN

...

Ok, now make a poll asking if we should stop making retarded polls

Hope you're geting the Focusrite lad

I already have the clarett 2pre, thoroughly based.

was looking at what thunderbolt peripherals I could acquire for my pc now that I have pic related installed but everything has the mac tax.

>and NZ is exactly the same as us

New Antelope interface is pretty sick. Apollo is a good piece of gear. And you get to use UAD plugins.

End these threads already, don't make any until Melbourne

end you're life

I use a Saffire 40, and would expand with an octopre if I wasn't moving. Top tier shit

UA stuff is good, but way overpriced imo. The plugins are the best part about it imo.

The pres themselves are super clean. Being able to emulate whole channel strips while tracking is nice. But I agree on them being overpriced. But then again, most plugins are overpriced as shit.

Reminder

What should we post?

He would have been a really good ladyboy

hint: it's his second profession

This?

Or this?

That is actually water skiing. His whole family does it.

His little sister is a gold medal winner at age 8

that's so much less interesting than being a ladybhoy

good base but it really depends on how the competitive order looks after melbourne (or is it china when they close?).

general advice is that you want drivers that will beat their teammates and cars that will consistently score points and you've got that. always have a driver capable of pole because that's worth 15 points. drivers in the slowest team actually are better than midfielders cos they automatically vacuum up retirements for 3 bonus points each as the race progresses.

if you think you're on to something good then don't share your team here, keep it secret.

Literally everyone should run whichever Sauber driver they think is better. The Sauber is going to be reliable and start from the last row, meaning you get 3 points every car that breaks down.

You people have serious issues

Lewis Hamilton is a fucking NIGGER

watched the 1999 French GP today

if you don't know the result and the winner beforehand, you will most likely pick the wrong guy most of the time during the race

This made me laugh more than I care to admit.

Maybe I should go to bed. I have uni in the morning.

Shouldn't you be out voting to ban kebabs or something?

You should ban kebabs in your diet

Good one lad

doner kebab > gyros

best enjoyed while drunk, though. A team on MKR tried serving a deconstructed kebab (lebanese bread, rolled, grilled lamb, tabouli and garlic sauces) and got rightfully slammed for it.

>tfw i dont know if by burger he means america or fat nikopolidis

Remember lads.

>another greek that is not me posts for once

Never fails to make me smile...

Not on there

Not sure if happy with that tbhdesu

Should frown instead. Uses more muscles

>Being this butthurt over shitty /cyc/posting and amx faggotry getting ranked lower than Noelposting
This is why you're shit. Concentrate on your sisters cooch and maybe you'll be rated higher.

I forgot based NZ, below Straya but above Binland

Not sure where to put you tbqh lad, I only remember you posting about wanting your hair grow.

Hey, it's not a fatpost for once!

Hasn't something like the current sharkfin been done before? I swear I remember seeing pictures of older cars but I think they were even bigger and went further? I'm not sure. Why was that introduced/abandoned? Rules?

>not a fat post
>still embarrassing
2009 and 2010 and they were banned
formula1-dictionary.net/shark_fin.html
>Full shark fin was banned from Formula 1 on the end of 2010 season

first came in 2007 or 08, nicky.

2010 they extended to the rear wing. banned after that.

Damn, those things were ugly.
I think from the current cars, the best looking sharkfin is haas. Looks cool.
I don't like what ferrari did with theirs, kinda disappointing.

You now realize you know more about Fat Nick, than Based Brundle who was Bellof-tier before he was confined to right foot braking due to a massive crash. I highly reccomend to read his scrapbook to complement your F1 knowledge and increase your dopamine release as you enjoy and understand every word, nuance and emotion of his race commentary. We are witnessing the greatest era of commentary and wont realize it until he succumbs to a stroke testdriving the fully developed and de-sandbagged 2017 Mercedes in silverstone next year.

Anyone here play Project Cars?

What the fuck, I have been out of the "gaming" loop for a few years, the last console I owned was Xbox 360. Anyway, got myself a PS4 and what the fuck, Project Cars is fucking awful.

Am I honestly just too used to a Forza handling style or what, because this game seems like complete shit to me. Handling is like borderline arcade, AI is beyond unaware on all levels I've tried so far, it's hard to tell if/when you are locking up when braking because it all feels the same. There's like no "feel" for any of the cars, it all just feels like driving in GTA except worse and understeer central. I would unironically rate Forza 4 (2011) to be a better racing game than Project Cars at this point

I know this isn't le video games but I have never posted on that board and don't really feel like getting a bunch of replies from edgemasters

Project Cars is utter shit.
Still I made a net gain in investing in it early on when they offered you a share of the profits.

Is this a pasta? Brundle is so up his own ass on Sky it isn't funny.

>this corner was scary way back when
>back in muh day it was harder
>that one team I beat schumi (doesn't mention reliability)
>did you know I knew Senna?

Hey guys I'm gonna tag my post!

Then post something slightly relevant to show how retarded I am.

You go to /o/vg/ for that, vennas.

He has been speaking the same thing as the elder drivers currently driving. If this is the case, then he will also objectively judge this years cars to be awesome. And he did beat schumi and senna on occasions, but what is never mentioned is how he always adds that it was the other way round most of the time. He is a very honest man and has no egocentrism in his biographies.

Also threadly reminder that top speed,not only laptime, records will tumble this year aswell.

>did you know I made my own documentary about how really good I was in junior formula because I almost beat Ayrton Senna despite having a season's worth of experience in the series over him which proves I could have been 6x WDC had I gotten the right opportunities and been rich and privileged like I imply Senna da Silva was

Are you using a wheel? Not much point in driving anything more than Forza without tbqh.

You should also try Assetto Corsa. Not much to do other than hotlapping and the AI is slow as fuck, but there are a lot of cars that are enjoyable to drive at least (if you buy >muh DLC).

What happens to the Spanish Grand Prix when Catalonia becomes a country?

Catalonian Grand Prix

>this corner was scary way back when
that's true though, corners always have huge runoffs now
>back in muh day it was harder
not sure he actually says this but he's driven modern car so he's qualified to judge
>that one team I beat schumi (doesn't mention reliability)
he would also admit Schumi was a better driver
>did you know I knew Senna?
most of the audience are casuals

Senna had Verstappen tier priviliges. And his witty autobiography doesnt come close to Sennas movies, cult and subjective worshipping.

Its okay mate. I've posted more but not going to regurgitate them for fake internet points

You reckon Catalonia would want to keep the race when they'll have a whole lot of new issues that will take priority over a Grand Prix?

Presumably, Spain would want to keep their race, so they'd go to Jerez or (god forbid) Aragon, ja?

meant for

Brundle honestly seems to have more pride in his qualifications as a commentator than his racing career. Seems like a nice guy overall. Aside from a few odd moments of Hamilton fanboyism (which is understandable because muh british and he's been commenting on Lewis since forever) he is a pretty objective and truthful commentator.

I mean I would struggle to find a better replacement for him. And please don't say Jenson Button, Button has 100x the ego of Brundle and would never be anything more than a James Hunt meme as a commentator

Brundle is also notoriously fickle. Just look at the radio ban, he was always for less driver coaching but when the FIA effected the changes him and other ex-drivers were asking for he did a 180 and started giving them shit. He was (fairly) making out the 2017 rule changes to be the worst thing ever last year so I expect him to have some kind of meltdown from cognitive dissonance between the 'back in muh day' and forward-thinking parts of his brain.

>I mean I would struggle to find a better replacement for him. And please don't say Jenson Button, Button has 100x the ego of Brundle and would never be anything more than a James Hunt meme as a commentator
Agreed. I think Coulthard is pretty good. DC and Brundle is the dream team.

Is a Hue a man?

Yeah I know i was just memeing

Verstappen also isn't exactly the greatest example of someone with privileges. I mean at least he and his family worked for a lot of the results and certainly couldn't have been able to fund a campaign privately beyond F3, whereas there are drivers who can fund seasons and seasons of GP2 as a hobby and make it all the way to F1 just because they can pay for it.

Senna was from a rich family though and people seem to like forgetting that because it doesn't fit with the people's savior narrative. People also seem to not like knowing that e.g. Ricciardo's and Massa's dad's are/were millionaires

>I mean I would struggle to find a better replacement for him.

Ben Edwards but I fully accept that is not a widely held viewpoint and many people value racing experience in commentators over commentating experience.

that's an example of a mutually exclusive pair of objectives that many fans want
another being faster cars and more overtaking

those laces look fucking retarded

I agree with your statement and opinion.

The shoes look like socks. No laces required

Posting the best helmet of last 5 years

Gimi and Vergne's one-off retro helmets from Monaco (Hunt and Cevert) were great too but they don't really count. generally modern helmets are overly busy, glad Vettel lifted that design from the goat himself.

pretty disappointed that Valtteri BLACKED his helmet tho.

god Britney is so aesthetic it's depressing

if I ever manage to be half as good looking as him I'll be happy

give me a quick rundown on Rosbergoff

>britbong standards

his helmet would be nice as fuck if he wasn't forced to put those hideous monster panels on it

Wilders lost, Toothpastes BTFO

too bad he ruined it in 2016 and 2017 by adding al the chrome shit

Still I Fish

hey nick are you still here?

if Jonah Hill can do it, so can you bro
