  • I don’t completely disagree but this is true for all the greats. Schumi crashing into people and forcing others off track, Vettel always pushing people to to very edges of the track and his insane fake outs into dive bombs, hell Senna has his famous “if you no longer to for a gap” quote that everyone loves but have somehow forgotten that he was saying it to justify an absolutely ludicrous and dangerous move.

    Even Hamilton was always criticised for his aggressive style that he would shrug off saying it’s how he has to drive if he wants to win, he didn’t have the luxury of driving respectfully and carefully.

    I think the thing that seems to separate a good driver and a great driver is their ability to walk on the very edge of the rules to gain every little bit of an advantage possible, otherwise why are you even there? I want reform but hate the game, not the players.


  • Uh oh, I’ve spent about $2,000 on my racing setup (moza r9 wheel base, SR-P pedals, RS V2 wheel, FSR Formula wheel, and ES wheel) and for me its been worth it, but it is ludicrously indulgent. Raced against (drove in the same race 3s slower a lap) a bunch of F2, F3 and F4 drivers and even Romain Grosjean. I was running on a cheap second hand G27 for 6 years before upgrading though, I would recommend going through that first to make sure you really want to race frequently enough to justify the cost.
