Ah, so the count in the top right is the total, taking the number of upvotes and subtracting the downvotes.

Really ready good race in the early parts. I’m a bit unhappy that Porsche didn’t win (or even keep a car on the lead lap) but it’s been a great first le mans for the reinvigorated HyperCar class. And I’ve finally seen someone other than Toyota win me mans!

I don’t think we can really draw a conclusion on whether vasseur has done a good job until next year. He hasn’t had a chance to direct a car from the start yet, and Ferrari isn’t really in a competitive position so any strategy screwup isn’t going to be as noticeable.

Really? I swear every time I hear about an NFL stadium it’s been partially funded through public money and a threat to leave. Might be unique to the NFL then.

There’s been an update (0.33 - on github) that has fixed the font size issue for me.

My understanding is that this kind of thing is very common in the US as it provides incentives for their sports franchises to remain in the city instead of moving elsewhere. Unlike in Europe (the UK at least) where teams tend to fund their own stuff as it’s essentially verboten to move towns (MK Dons is still disliked for that and it required an entire comission to figure out if you were actually allowed to do that)

Spa, Silverstone and Singapore. Why Singapore? Well before I started watching F1 I was playing the F1 racing games in like 2011 and Singapore was my absolute favourite circuit to drive, I still enjoy playing it now actually.

It’s the same thing as with mercedes domination, and red bull domination before that. They’ve found a solution to the rules that works really well and they have improvements that they are finding, although they’re going to hit the incremental returns wall sooner. I don’t know if they’re going to be properly caught by 2025, don’t forget that mercedes weren’t caught by 2016, which was a year before the new wider cars were introduced, you had to wait until 2021 and a chassis freeze + nerf for that to happen.

Mercedes has obviously had to go back to the drawing board and hopefully understand their car better now so should be able to get closer next year. Aston could stay in the top spots which will be good. Ferrari have way too many resources to be kept down for long, but obviously their internal culture seems to need a rework, and I wouldn’t put them in a championship hunt as they are now.

We’ll see what the new engine regs have in store but it’s not a massive change in some ways so it might not affect much unless someone completely shits the bed.
