Azeem Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 Which is the most difficult track out of these ? Quote

Eco Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 14 minutes ago, Azeem said: Sharp turns ? I think SPA has pretty intense elevation change combined with tricky corners. @nudge will surely correct me if I'm mistaken. 1 Quote
nudge Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 2 minutes ago, Azeem said: Sharp turns ? Elevation changes, high speed nature of the track, a mix of long straights and challenging sweeping corners, many of them with little run off so precision is required as even the tiniest mistakes can lead to severe punishment, some hard braking zones. Highly unpredictable weather conditions too. It's always been one of the most dangerous (and lethal) circuits; these days the safety has been improved immensely, but still bad accidents happen quite often. F2 driver lost his life there last year too. 1 Quote
nudge Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 @Azeem Here's the video of the crash I mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yKhkAHJp58 Watch at your own risk, the impact was 70 G, it's brutal, especially when you know one of the drivers (Hubert) died and the other one (Correa) spent a week on a life-support machine and almost lost his leg; doctors had to pretty much rebuild it and it will likely never make a full recovery 1 Quote

nudge Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 Anyone knows if there are flights to Turkey in November? General admission tickets for the race cost just 3£ 2 Quote
nudge Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 Just checked - ca. 200€ for flights, 3£ admission ticket for the race, around 40€/night for a decent hotel. Tempted. 1 Quote

nudge Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 Just now, Eco said: Do it! YOLO I'm definitely buying the tickets next week (if I can get them before they're gone, haha). If the circumstances change and flights are canceled or the race takes place behind close doors after all, 3 quids is not exactly a huge financial loss anyway 1 Quote
nudge Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 Just checked Sochi too, only 80-100€ for 3 days tix... No direct flights though, so I'll have to pass on that one. Quote

Yaroslavl is even worse that time of year. haha Is your Moscow friend @Denis by chance? 1 Quote

Subscriber Pyfish+ Posted September 2, 2020 Subscriber Posted September 2, 2020 Just getting back into F1 again after watching Drive to Survive and getting F1 2019 for free on Xbox. Excited for this weekend even if I'm not too familiarised on drivers and teams again yet. Quote
