The early F1 2011 reviews are mostly positive, which is to be expected based on F1 2010 being well received. It is interesting reading TheSixthAxis reviewer’s take on the game. Before the summary, the reviewer discusses new F1 technical ‘innovations’ that are included in F1 2011 (KERS and DRS), but also mentions that casual gamers [...]
The ridiculousness continues. Next week (Sep 20) sees the release of F1 2011, while the following week (Sep 27) gives us FIFA 12, ICO and Shadow of the Colossus Collection, and Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny, and Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland. F1 2011 I’ll be honest; I love F1 games, but I didn’t [...]
Could you ask for a better day of racing? Monaco was fantastic; would Alonso have managed a pass on Vettel if the red flag didn’t come out? Can you imagine how long JR Hilderbrand is going to think about doing things differently in turn 4 at Indy? As the hotter than heck day turns to [...]
I kicked off the weekend with a slow cooked Boston Butt Roast; I am biased, but it was fantastically delicious. Watched some of the Nationwide action to see what the Ice Man would do. He was doing OK until a little over midway in the race he was penalized with a drive through penalty for [...]
I love kicking off summer with the Monaco GP, Indy 500, and 600 laps of NASCAR; all in one Sunday of back-to-back-to-back racing action. I’ll throw a Boston Butt Roast on the grill on Saturday, and grill a boatload of wings on Sunday between F1 and Indy racing action. What could be better? How about [...]
How much tweaking of the rules will be accepted before the fans just turn off the tube in favor of something more compelling? I have not researched the numbers (if they are even publicly available) to see where this season’s F1 ratings stand compared to the past three or four; however I expect that the [...]
The final chapter on US F1 came to an official close late last week as the FIA gave US F1 a firm hand, ending the dream once and for all. The FIA has fined US F1 309,000 euros ($379,500) – the equivalent of the championship entry fee – and ordered it to pay the costs [...]
This is shaping up to be a great sports weekend. Not only is the World Cup in full force, but the racing action should be fantastic. Kicking things off today is the 24 Hours of Le Mans, which gets under way in a couple of hours. Tomorrow afternoon is the Canadian Grand Prix, which may [...]
I really do not get the announcement earlier this week that F1 is returning to the U.S. in Austin, TX. Nothing against Texas (I am a native Texan), or Austin (love the Longhorns), however I imagine that most F1 fans would have been happy with an F1 return in Indy. I guess it comes down [...]
It is hard for me to disagree with these articles from RACER and PlanetF1. The new rules changes are basically a dud, and while one race a season does not make, it will be a disaster for the F1 powers that be if Australia follows suite to Bahrain. I still wish that all the monkey’ing [...]
Great result for the Scuderia, with Alonso and Massa finishing 1-2 at the expense of Vettel. Party in Maranello? After last season, this result has to be beyond Ferrari’s wildest dreams. I think Alonso must have had something in hand; even without the late problem with Vettel’s Red Bull, I think Alonso was going to [...]
I missed out on the qualifying session yesterday, but I thought it was interesting that Vettel took the poll, Massa and Alonso showed well for Ferrari landing the second and third spots, and finally Nico out qualified Schumacher (5th vs. 7th). I wonder if that is what Schume had in mind when he decided to [...]
The complete failure of US F1 is rather sad; however it is almost pathetic that the team is even talking about a 2011 entry. So many questions, two of which I will ponder now – what really happened and how did it fall apart so (seemingly) suddenly? US F1 principal owner Ken Anderson is either [...]
According to Racer, Team US F1 has closed its doors, which probably comes to no surprise to anyone following the team’s recent troubles. Against the backdrop of weeks of uncertainty about the future of the American team, which had been struggling to get a car ready for the start of the season, sources have revealed [...]
I missed this article from Racer last week. According to FIA president Jean Todt, the new F1 challengers do not have to show up for the first three races of the 2010 season. Despite both teams insisting they are on course to make the first race, US F1 and Campos continue to be surrounded by [...]
