Mind you, had Spa been half as bad as the rest of the cookie cutter races this year, I would have been major choked! Spa of all places, should at the very least give us good racing! But, thankfully Spa didn't let us down. Really good race! And for the first time in years...a "REAL race"
That was fun. There was passing. Wow - when that back wing opens AND they hit the boost GET OUT OF THE WAY.
I don't know what was more fun - watching the race that was on TV or watching and understanding the corners because I have driven Spa via NFS Shift.
Tracks like Spa and Road America are part of what makes racing so much fun. Anyone with money and bulldozers can make a life sized slot car track with contrived passing zones and straights. God Himself gave us tracks like these.
well now having seen the whole race I will say that's the first decent one of the season !!
ReplyDeleteAgreed! One good race out of a whole season - what have we been complaining about?

ReplyDeleteYes indeed !! Who are we peasants to complain ??
ReplyDeleteI was astonished to see actual PASSING !!
ReplyDeleteWhat will they think of next ??
Was a great race - I think the anomaly is that it is a great track that hasn't been too butchered.
ReplyDeleteToo much DRS though and too much defending Lewis for my liking.
Enjoyed it though - really for the first time in years!
I think there is too much Aero period !!
ReplyDeleteIt's supposed to be about driving not techno geeks !!
I just watched the race yesterday.
