Is that time of year again, and it all drives off this week-end.

Lost interest at the end of last year, hopefully I'll keep going this one!

VintageBeef and KurtJMac's co-op championship on F1 2012 gave me the idea to follow again F1. At least the real races will last longer than their let's plays :lol:

Bit of a meh race. No spectacular crashes, no rain, no engine blow-ups, and a bit of a follow-my-leader race.

I'd like to see DRS from 2 secs back, and electronic disabling of the KERS on the leading car if only 2 secs or less ahead. (i.e. remove the ability to defend with KERS). Also double up the KERS power.

Now, there's an idea I haven't seen before. Not a bad one, either - strategy would get you ahead, but not so far ahead that you're out of sight.

Also double up the KERS power.

MOAR POWER!!!

F1 and Indy are a nightmare event to go to over here in the land of Oz. After being to a few and always crowded, either stinking hot or pouring rain and always coming home at least a couple of hundred dollars lighter (If I don't take any family) I would much prefer to go to a V8 Supercar race.
