but then project cars, AC, dirt rally and iRacing came out with CV1 support and I moved on. Early days of VR support in titles that later dropped it, which is a shame. My budget shifted almost entirely to VR titles, especially anything that supported racing. Off came the screens! You just cannot describe to someone who has never experienced it what it feels like to 'sit' in a car in VR.

I bought all the F1 Series up until I got my Dk2. It was mind blowing to have the 'through the windshield' effect. I mean back when three screen gaming was fairly new. My scenario is a little different as I had eyefinity mounted to a motion sim. I paid big money for F1-2010 when it first came out.

I really do hope that McLaren get them selves a car worthy of there drivers this year.I agree totally. Which it isn't.Ahh this makes sense now as all the others I've seen have had that piece It would appear that it won't matter if the undoubted talent of one of the best drivers of the modern era is scrapping with the rats and mice at the blunt end of the grid as long as the car is painted in a pretty colour.

There's very little mention of the revised driver lineup, the supposed performance improvement from the heavily revised Honda power unit, or whether McLaren might possibly come up with a decent chassis and aero package. On the matter of McLaren, most of the column inches generated by the new car concentrate on the colour of the paintwork. If McLaren struggle, he must surely ask himself why he's bothering. I wonder if we'll see Max Verstappen levels of over-enthusiasm while he learns his way? I really hope the McLaren isn't a clunker this year, as Alonso must surely be bored of having an uncompetitive car. Vandoorne showed a good turn of pace when he had a go last year, so his challenge will be developing race craft. Hamilton doesn't have too many more years to add championships - I have no doubt he'd like a fourth to equal Vettel, and probably a fifth for good luck. I am a little worried that he might struggle to find his feet at Mercedes, particularly if Hamilton is motivated this year. Ive always liked Bottas, and it's good to see him in a top car. Hamilton/Bottas and Alonso/Vandoorne - which junior driver is going to push their senior harder?

I heard that the Toro Rosso are going to have a light blue Red Bull Sugar Free colour scheme.Īnyway. So at this stage, I'm quite happy to talk about paint jobs. I don't feel I can comment on a car's likely performance by looking at what probably isn't the real thing anyway. No one, including the teams, has any real idea how good their cars are. So there's an aerodynamic advantage, which means that everybody will have them. Briefly, that area is largely unrestricted by the regulations and the fin contributes to straightening the airflow to the rear wing, and directs more air to the wing when the car is in yaw, i.e. I'm led to believe that the Mercedes will have a full-size fin when it emerges from the garage in Barcelona on Monday.

The Mercedes don't have the big wing thing I hope it's not a sign of things to come!! More car launches will follow in the next few days and next week the track at Barcelona will be awash with Flo-vis paint as the teams try to figure out the real-world aerodynamics of the new cars. I doubt that the guys at Brixworth have been idle over the winter, though. The abandonment of the token system was intended to allow the engine suppliers to get on terms with Mercedes and reduce their advantage. Renault will launch their car today, and it will be interesting to see whether they have reconfigured their power unit along the lines of Mercedes, given that they will also power Red Bull (badged as TAG Heuer) and Toro Rosso. I suspect that Mercedes may have contributed in order to secure the seat for Pascal Wehrlein (who will miss the first pre-season test next week, having injured his neck in that rather bizarre incident during the Race of Champions), and Ericsson brings some money, but 2017 will be a long year for Sauber, who will be using 2016 Ferrari power units. It's a shame that sponsorship is notable only by its absence on the new Sauber.
