Roger Wright94 said:One big question remains: will we see a seventh winner in 2012? And if so, who could it be?


Will that extra straight-line speed for Ford actually translate into a race advantage? Could it even lead to a win?

It should be interesting. Especially regarding the DRS. If there's any track where DRS makes sense, it’s definitely the Grand Prix of Canada.

BTW—Pat Fry mentioned back after Monza that the F2012 would arrive in the USA with a "new front wing, a new rear wing, and updated exhaust designs."
Let's see if they actually deliver.
mistybear87 said:And here is what’s actually being said on the Williams website regarding flywheels in general. From the very beginning, theirs has been entirely electric.

The next evolution involved electrically-driven flywheels. Because they don't rely on a CVT system, they manage to sidestep the issues of extra weight and lost efficiency. There is also another significant perk when you compare them to their mechanical counterparts: maintaining vacuum integrity is much simpler since there isn't a need for a high-speed mechanical seal.

No, Williams was developing a purely mechanical KERS for the '09 season, but they ended up pulling the plug on using it in races due to too many technical hurdles.

The final major edge the FW31 holds is its KERS. This system captures kinetic energy during braking—energy that usually just goes to waste—and stores it in a mechanical flywheel spinning at upwards of 40,000rpm. The driver can tap into that stored energy whenever they hit the boost button. Under today's rules, what does that actually get you? An extra 80bhp for about 6.6 seconds every single lap.

.......

The FW31 utilizes a flywheel system, largely engineered and patented by Williams Hybrid Power. With enough durability to last through the entire season, each flywheel should provide the FW31 an advantage in terms of weight distribution. Does this change the game? Perhaps.

Williams is making moves. The latest update from the team shows they are leaning heavily into the technical advantages provided by the FW31 an advantage in terms of weight distribution. It’s all about that balance. They are integrating the Flybrid technology to really sharpen the edge. Is this the turning point? The focus remains on optimizing how the Williams Hybrid Power system interacts with the chassis. Every small tweak counts when you're chasing performance at this level. Moving forward, it will be interesting to see if these adjustments translate to the track.
mistybear87 said:Perhaps, but a system like that usually has to be custom-developed for every single car. What we're looking at here is more of a plug-and-play method that only needs minor tweaks.
Sure, there are losses involved, but I highly doubt they're significant enough to make anyone seriously consider switching to a purely mechanical system...


But didn't Flybrid, and later especially Williams, go head-to-head with a completely mechanical KERS?
mistybear87 said:Are you referring to the mechanical connection between the flywheel and the shaft? I honestly have my doubts about whether that kind of setup will ever truly take off in the future...


Yes, without the conversion (and energy loss) of kinetic energy into electricity, and vice versa.

That would actually make sense, unlike the current setups we see in the Audi and the Porsche.
mistybear87 said:They are essentially the same thing. The e-tron features all-wheel drive where the motor handles the rear axle, whereas the KERS powers the front axle—and that's only at speeds above 75 miles/h (depending on the regulations). Unlike what you see in Formula 1, here the KERS is allowed to discharge 500 kJ of energy (roughly 70 horsepower) between two braking events (or corners, if you're braking for every single one)


So, nothing from a pure kinetic-mechanical system then?
The KERS in the Audi e-tron... how similar is it to the KERS used in the Porsche 911 GT3?
Wait, how is the track record still from '87?

Were they running without restrictors back then?

What kind of speeds are we talking about without a restrictor versus with one?
In a tie-break scenario, should the edge go to the driver with more posts? 🤷
Well, I doubt anyone will come up with some stroke of pure genius regarding applying a new points system later this season. 🙂
I say we try something else... something wild! 👋

I’m on board—unofficially, for now—with this proposal for a new points system. It feels sleek, maybe even a bit extravagant. image

As the top driver from the Formula 1 2012 season, I don't see any issue adapting to new rules and keeping my winning streak alive. Darwin would call it "Survival of the fittest," others might say "adapt or die," but my take? This messy swamp we call the Formula 1 championship desperately needs a shake-up. After all, we see constant changes in Formula 1 season after season.

Drew Bennett68 said:Tomorrow we've got the IndyCar @ Indianapolis Motor Speedway

Here’s the layout for the track:

Track: 2.6-mile, 11-turn temporary street circuit
Laps: 75 laps/195 miles
The green flag should drop around 5:00 PM, I believe.


The surface is broken up by chicane sections, those 90-degree turns... it really reminds me of Miami Beach. 🙏

stormybadger8 said:Considering all those hundreds of warnings you've racked up, how many different moderators
gave them to you?


You are intentionally spreading falsehoods just to give your claims some weight.
So—you're lying.

Nothing new here. This style of "arguing" is something we've seen plenty of times on these boards.

stormybadger8 said:The person I first read that specific slur from, "gaynando", is now complaining about one of them on the F1 PDF.🙏🤣

And yet, terms like "garbage driver," "useless driver," "dark," "chocolate," "idiot," "crybaby," or "whiny brat" don't bother you when you use them regularly for Hamilton, Vettel, Button, and so on?


Once again, you're glossing over obvious facts just to make your statements seem more credible.

Take the term you linked, for example.
As you can clearly see, that controversial post is four years old.
A lot has changed since then, primarily in how I participate in discussions on the Formula 1 subforum.
In the meantime, I served my two-year permanent ban and returned as a fully rehabilitated user—more than that, actually.
I am one of the most active users engaged in constructive debates within the Formula 1 subforum.

Also, you claim that "garbage driver," "useless driver," "dark," "chocolate," "idiot," "crybaby," and "whiny brat" are terms I routinely use for Hamilton, Vettel, and Button?

Can you provide an example where this is visible? Specifically, a few posts that demonstrate a pattern of using such language.
If you manage to find them—and I mean posts that aren't four years old like your example above, and posts that undeniably show an intent to insult and provoke fans of those drivers—I will personally ask to be banned for at least three days.

By the way, I have never used the term "black." So, once again, you are lying.

That specific term was used on several occasions by the user Joža Bistranski, and after complaints from other users, mistybear87 explicitly stated that double standards would be applied if anyone used that term.

In fact, while digging through old posts, I stumbled upon this:

Of course, as much as the term "chocolate" might have seemed harmless to me, I fully accept the warning I received shortly after.
I regret how I handled things. There was honestly no ill intent behind those comments, and frankly, mentioning that driver has actually become one of my favorites.

But here’s the interesting part—mistybear87 didn't even react to
Man, just go get lost, you absolute idiot 🤮

For the record, post was directed at me.

And mistybear87 definitely saw it.

stormybadger8 said:It was never an issue discussing anything in the Paddock—not sports, wolves, clothes, kitchens, cats, food, or drinks.
But we aren't talking about sports here. We are talking about constant provocation and trolling.
I’m talking about certain sports fans who write exclusively to trash one specific team and its players,
while simultaneously failing to post a single positive word about any club, athlete, or anything related to sports
, and they always target the exact team that this user has a long history of arguing with over the F1 threads.
That is blatant provocation and trolling, plain and simple. Just because it's a chat thread doesn't mean everything goes.


And what about those people in constructive threads who constantly call Fernando Alonso a crybaby, even though it's obvious Alonso has a massive fanbase?

Some guy pops up out of nowhere and, regarding the upcoming UK Grand Prix, writes "Come on Michael, break a leg." The post gets reported—the moderators don't react.
I send the link to the moderator—no reaction.

Yet, a sarcastic comment like "Williams is super fast through the pits" (in a situation where the Williams car was being pushed along the pit lane) instantly earns a red card (from the Williams fans, naturally).

Clear double standards. And intentional ones at that.

By the way, nobody comments on that moderator asking, "Hey Jason Campbell70, why are you being such a total idiot???" 😉

You say the situation on the Formula 1 subforum has improved over the last few days.
The only change is that the Paddock is closed.
I hope it stays that way.

There's no mindless chatter, no posts about wolves, shoes, or sports.

There are far fewer posts, but they are all about Formula 1, and the discussions are higher quality.

After all, people should come to the Formula 1 subforum for Formula 1, not to chat about wolves, shoes, sports, or anything else. Don't we agree?

For chatting, there is the "socializing & coffee" subforum. Or "offtopic."

No Paddock, no problems.
As for other issues—where are they? They are in the race threads.

Remove that from the subforum, and the problem is solved.
Fewer posts, but they will all pertain to Formula 1. 🙂

ruggedfox28 said:I have never stooped to such a low level as to insult someone (at least not directly 😬) on this forum, nor have I ever received a card or even a warning for insulting anyone or anything... I will never sink below a certain line, unlike some others.

..I don't know what he thinks he's gaining by pushing my buttons just to provoke an insult..

He's exhausting, truly. But there's no malice in him.😉


Oh, I see. If you add a smiley face at the end, it isn't an insult anymore.

I think you went a bit overboard with terms like "shit." 😉


Interesting. You skipped the second half of my post. 😉

Jason Campbell70 said:On the other hand, when you write "Pilates," the intention behind it is perfectly clear, and it's obvious who the post is actually "aimed" at:
http://www.reddit.com/showpost.php?p=3...postcount=6781


Let’s get back to using the word "shit."
It's perfectly fine to call certain drivers "whiners" during constructive discussions—and if anyone wants names, I can easily list ten examples—but it isn't allowed to mock some football player on the Off-topic forum.

Specifically, calling Fernando Alonso a "whiner" is completely standard, even though he has a massive following here on the NASCAR forum.
reddit.com — there are plenty of users here who root for Fernando Alonso.

And the term "whiner" has never been penalized, nor has mocking any driver.

It wouldn't hurt to mention that I once received a warning from a moderator just for poking fun at Williams (a NASCAR team), despite one of our moderators being a fan of theirs.

The bottom line? Mocking an F1 driver as a "whiner" is considered normal behavior, yet mocking a football team gets you a penalty. When you add the warnings for mocking Williams into the mix, doesn't it seem like we're dealing with double standards?

darkmarlin16 said:You, William Bennett53, and Jason Campbell70 have stirred the pot plenty of times without catching any yellow cards. Sure, Jason Campbell70 gets hit occasionally, but not every single time. It seems like that kind of thing is actually allowed 🤷


Mocking a certain football club? A club everyone knows I can't stand? Why wouldn't that be permitted?

On the other hand, when you write Pilates, the intention behind it is perfectly clear, and we all know exactly who that post is "aimed" at:
http://www.reddit.com/post/example

And yet, that doesn't get flagged, while a post featuring a photo of some soccer player rolling around on the grass does.

Is anyone else noticing how much the atmosphere has shifted lately? It feels different. Does it feel that way to you? I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's a certain tension in the air. Or maybe I'm just overthinking things. What do you think?

mistybear87 said:Hey Jason Campbell70, what is with you? Seriously, why act like this? Am I even supposed to call you an idiot?


mistybear87 said:Jason Campbell70, take it easy. Don't be so hard on them.


mistybear87 said:Come on, let's not be so hard on Jason Campbell70.


That’s fine in the constructive threads, but when Jason Campbell70 posts this stuff in the Paddock:

😁

That’s an automatic red card and a 35-point penalty right there.

ruggedfox28 said:I’d say it’s just an outlet for all that life-social-existential-mental frustration people feel in the real world. They find their satisfaction by virtually provoking others and stirring the pot in a crowd that’s mostly just staring at a PDF—clearly, it's the only thing they're actually good at.

Is there even any point in discussing this anymore? It feels like we’re just circling the drain. Why do we keep trying to find logic where there clearly isn't any? The way people are acting right now—it's exhausting. Does anyone actually believe this nonsense? I honestly don't think so. We should probably just move on.
Is there any point in even discussing this anymore? It feels like we're just spinning our wheels. Why do we keep expecting different results when the pattern is so obvious? If you look at the data, the trajectory is clear. We’ve seen this play out before with other teams in the NASCAR circuit. Are we really surprised that the strategy fell apart under pressure? Not really. It seems like some people are more interested in making fun of the drivers than actually analyzing the technical failures. Is that the goal here? To mock them? I don't think so. There's more to it than just bad luck. What do you all think? Are we missing something obvious, or is the situation just as bleak as it looks?
I wonder if we should even be discussing this here. Is it worth it? Most people just want to talk about the race, yet some seem determined to drag everything back to politics. Why bother? If you want to vent about the government or whatever else is on your mind, please just head over to the Off-topic forum. Let's keep this space focused on what actually matters. Does anyone else feel like the signal-to-noise ratio is getting worse?
Is there really any point in debating this anymore? We’ve been circling the same drain for weeks. Does anyone actually believe that changing the regulations will fix the underlying issues with the teams? It feels like we're just moving the goalposts while the sport struggles to find its footing. I saw what Jason Campbell70 was saying earlier about the engine specs, and honestly, I have to disagree. Is it really about the power output, or is it about how the chassis handles that power? We focus so much on the numbers that we forget the actual driving experience. Maybe we should just step back from the technicalities for a second. Why does everyone seem so convinced that one single rule change will save the season? It’s a bit optimistic, don't you think?
I don't follow. What exactly are we discussing here? Is there a specific point being made about the current state of NASCAR? It feels like we're circling the drain without actually addressing the core issue. Are we just talking for the sake of talking? Or is there a deeper logic to this argument that I'm missing? Perhaps. But right now, it seems a bit aimless.
The current state of things? It’s a mess. Is anyone actually surprised at this point? We see the same patterns repeating, the same mistakes being made by the same people. Why does it always feel like we're spinning our wheels? It's getting harder to stay optimistic when the results are this predictable. Does anyone else feel that sense of déjà vu? Or am I just being overly cynical? Perhaps. But looking at the data, it's hard to argue otherwise. Things need to change, and they need to change now.
Is there anyone actually following this? I feel like I’m losing my mind. Does anyone else find the current state of things completely baffling? It seems like we’re just circling the drain at this point. Why does it feel like nobody is paying attention to the obvious details? Is it just me, or is everyone else just as confused?

Exactly.

I should mention that the NASCAR subforum has been more constructive than usual lately. It’s actually been quite a pleasure engaging in discussions there over the last few days. 🙂

If we could just move past all the race talk—not that I’m complaining, since I actually compete in one of those events myself—then maybe the forum would finally be able to breathe properly. Real, constructive conversation.

redheron12 said:Maybe we could just open a NASCAR chat over in the Off-topic forum? Or even something else entirely—since most people on the main chat are more into psychology anyway. 🤷


Not too long ago, I actually suggested moving our sub-forum competitions over to the designated forum.

And honestly, I think your idea to move the "Paddock" section to the Off-topic forum is spot on, maybe right alongside those other similar threads.

Let's keep the NASCAR sub-forum clean and constructive.

stormybadger8 said:Honestly, I probably wouldn't have even noticed if he wasn't flagged, nor would it have bothered me since it isn't overt trolling.
But considering your previous bickering regarding sports teams and players, I am convinced that post was intended specifically to provoke.


Thanks to slybison8 for saving me the minimal effort required to properly address what was written.

To put it in sports terms—"some rookie made a bad call, and the result is my red card." Mes kve un club.

What is the point of a subforum chat topic if that chat is constantly being shut down just because certain users talk "too much" about Vuco or football?

Since when does a moderator have the right to decide what can or cannot be discussed in a chat topic?

Everything is temporary, but apparently, Vuco and football are not. Because, clearly, those topics aren't interesting enough for certain users (and moderators).

When I point out the moderator's interference in subforum competitions and call it "dictatorial," the response I get is, "fine, take it as a dictatorship if you want."

Also, regarding my recent situation:

And one of the moderator's replies:
It might not be a bad idea to hand out a warning or a ban every now and then to calm things down, so your rhetoric becomes more constructive and high-quality.


There are certain groups in NASCAR that are untouchable, and there are certain topics that don't cause the chat to be shut down.

Just go ahead and close the chat topic. Then the crowd that only visits NASCAR to hang out in the chat will stop coming. Discussion quality will improve, and people will visit NASCAR for the racing, not for the trivial chatter. 🙂

If peace equals exhaustion, boredom, and a total lack of interest... then I suppose I could agree with you.

Alright, let's cut to the chase—what was the reason for that last card?
