Wolfgang von Trips’s crash during 1961 Monza race is one of the worst accidents in F1 I think. On the long straight before Parabolica he made a contact with Jim Clark while he was trying to overtake Clark, which caused him to lose control of his car and went straight into the crowd at high speed. Von Trips died and also 15 spectators died as well. Before this race Von Trips was leading the Championship ahead of Phil Hill and he had strong chances of winning the Championship of 1961. In the end Phil Hill won the Championship, but I don’t think he wanted it to happen quite like this.

I have the most expensive nitrous installed on my car, but when I use it there seems to be no difference in performance. I drive 1mile races and I get exactly same times and top speeds whether I use Nitrous or not. I even tried to use longer gear ratios so that I could take better advantage of the “extra power” the Nitrous should provide. Still no difference. What am I missing?

Obviously FIA with hard-on for banning things decided to ban them before they even got to test it on a race. Sure it’s “just” a CVT, but would’ve been interesting to see it used in an F1 car. There’s also some other interesting cars on this vid that were never used on a race

I’ve been thinking of getting Mk3 Supra one day. Mk4 is my ultimate dream, but by the time I have proper money it’s probably going to be too expensive. Also the fact that you basically have to pay “f&f extra” for it is sad imo. Anyways there are people who say mk3 is great, others say only reason people buy them is because they can’t afford mk4. So, tell me your experiences on the mk3. :)
