can you post your parts list for your rig?

I'm looking at putting something together soon with a cockpit and direct drive setup.

Kid and two businesses, I barley have time for racing anymore. I do have a real race coming up in September though.

I'm newer to F1 but this feels like the case for 3 straight years now, I think?

Isn't this when people die just beyond Raidillon?

Also, something I learned today:

Eau Rouge and Raidillon correction is how you know you are talking to someone you don't want to talk to about F1.

When someone says "Ah, I love the shot of them running up Eau Rouge"

And then you get "Actually...that's Raidillon, Eau Rouge is the turn at the bottom over the river. Did you know there was a river? It's red. Hence, the name."

Makes me want to punch kittens.

Bring on Hulk!

Cold and rain apparently helps the Haas a lot.

There was a terrible crash at Spa a few weeks ago and a driver lost his life. Apparently drivers have been complaining about the danger there for years as it is a high speed portion of the track and a crashed car tends to rebound into the middle of the track.

The recent crash. It's bad so be forewarned.

They did a lot of work to prevent exactly that as well.

Seems like it was said something about the elevation behind the barriers prevents them from expanding the track further that way to properly solve the problem.

Huberts crash was a bit futher back, but same scenario. Tight and wide open throttle for a lot of cars through there.
