Can't wait. Oh man, the mind games Max is gonna play with Lando... :lol:

This may be the best test we've seen for Max in many, many years.

All right, the TD F1 Championship results are in!

dg42.net/TDF1/race-results.php?race=9

The winner of the 2026 TD F1 British Grand Prix is auisssa, for his first podium and first win of the season!

The podium is filled out by Noryev in P2 for his third podium in a row, and sorantable in P3, for his second podium. Again, Noryev had no points in the first four races, but has now scored points for five races in a row and has three podiums in row.

jefforize is not going to be happy. He finished P11. He now has two P11 finishes and two P12 finishes. That's four races just missing out on points.

With his P6 finish, flyingtexastiger has finally put points on the board, and now finally every player has scored points!

Here's the championship table: dg42.net/TDF1/index.php

MississippiLebowski and MikeD are still the top two.

With a P4 finish, Lsut81 has moved up from P5 to P3.

Noryev is on a five-race hot streak. With a P2 finish, he shot up again in the championship, from P8 to P5.

With a big win, auisssa shot up in the championship from P20 all the way up to P9.

Better than Tillman's free kick a couple of days ago?

Yep, How do you like Austria?

I'm glad you asked. :lol: I found the Red Bull Ring in the sim to be much trickier than it looks like on TV.

Turn 1 is faster than you might think, and it requires a very precise turn-in to get good drive onto the next straight without going off track.

Turn 3 at the top of the hill is easy enough (if you don't overcook it), but still requires precise turn in to get a good launch onto yet another straight.

The Turn 4 tight-but-increasing-radius right turn is the easiest corner on the track.

Turn 6 and Turn 7, the two big curvy left-handers, are kind of blind. Turn 6 is not bad but Turn 7 I think is where a lot of time is lost if you don't take it aggressively, but then you might screw up the right-curving Turn 8.

The right-hand Turn 9 seems easy enough but as soon as you take it you are trying to set up a perfect line through Turn 10 to launch onto the front straight without going off track, and so I think the Turn 9 / Turn 10 complex is the other place where it's easy to lose time.

People are knocking certain actors for their limited range, but limited range doesn't mean bad actor. If they are good at playing one type of character, they they are not bad, just limited.

The most obvious answer to this question is Keanu Reeves, but only one or two people have been willing to say it. Everyone else is unwilling to acknowledge that perhaps our most beloved A-list actor is also the worst A-list actor. :lol:

The winner of the 2026 TD F1 Austrian Grand Prix is Lsut81, for his second podium and first win of the season!

The podium is filled out by YOURADHERE in P2 for his first podium, and Noryev in P3, for his second podium and second P3 in a row! Noryev had no points in the first four races, but has now scored points for four races in a row and podiums in the last two races, and is making more big moves up the championship table.

Oh, I just happened to notice that BottomlandBrew, who won in Monaco just two races ago, came in dead last in Austria. :lol:

Here's the championship table: dg42.net/TDF1/index.php

The top three in the championship, MississippiLebowski, MikeD, and pitstop did not score any points in Austria but held on to their positions. WAY2GOLSU rose one spot to P4. Lsut81 shot up from P9 to P5 with the win. YOURADHERE shot up from P14 to P7 with the P2 finish. Noryev shot up from P13 to P8 with the P3 finish.

According to this article I read, Haas and Cadillac have received the updated power units from Ferrari. Haas is not using it this weekend. Supposedly we won't know until tomorrow morning if Cadillac opted to use it.

For the time being, Haas does not plan to use Ferrari’s new power unit—which becomes available from this weekend in Austria. Cadillac, also a Ferrari customer team, will announce on Friday whether it will run the new Ferrari engine.

It has been stipulated that once Ferrari has a new engine, all its customer teams must also have access to it. Indeed, Haas and Cadillac have received updated power units from Ferrari, but at least Haas is not using them. Ayao Komatsu, the team principal of the American squad, will not disclose why Haas is opting against using it.

Is this any good? I remember seeing the trailer for season one and then totally missing it. Worth a watch?

It's definitely worth checking out to see if you like the tone of the show. I think Colin Farrell's character is a big fan of noir movies because there are a ton of "flashbacks" to old classics, and he kind of conducts himself like he's in a noir movie. :lol:

In one of the earlier episdoes, Amy Ryan's character gets suspicious of him and accuses him of being a spy. It's not a spoiler, I'm just saying that she senses that there are more layers under the surface, even though he really is a sincere, motivated PI trying to solve a case.
