Same here.

I also love to hate Ocon, but he's pretty good in the wet.

Beware that F1tv doesn’t yet show the updated race time.

Also, this is doc 48 detailing the new schedule:

“El tiempo es veloz” (Time is fast) is the title of a song by Argentinian composer David Lebón. Beautiful lyrics.

Personally, I knew the song thanks to legendary singer Mercedes Sosa, also from Argentina.

Ah. The plot thickens.

Yeah… my plan pays absolutely no heed to the economics of it. 😅 I just want to see more races, and let someone else figure out the money. Heh.

Anyway, the article does mention that the main hurdle for a rookie sprint would be economical. Glad to read that it’s being seriously considered.

I’ve wondered for some time if it would be worth having rookies racing with 2-year-old cars in parallel. Perhaps during the weekends where there’s no F1 race.

Mac? Linux?

It runs decently under wine on Linux, but I've heard Mac users struggle.

But yeah, I get it.

I’ve been using Campaign Cartographer 3+ for a few years now. It does support image backgrounds (and depending on your image it might even trace it for you)… … but I should say that it does have a somewhat steep learning curve. It’s more a CAD tool than a drawing tool.

You will most likely need to read the tutorials and maybe watch a few videos to be comfortable with it. Luckily, there’s lots of videos and a forum with tons of friendly people.

It’s not cheap but it just so happens that there’s a Humble Bundle ongoing for the next 5 days:

You’d have to go for the highest tier to get the base program.

I don’t know if calls work, but all the other stuff you mention does work.

[–] roflo1 1 points 1 year ago

Ah. Good point. I don’t think I’ve received calls. I don’t know if they would work
