The developers behind the F1 Manager series have spoken to PlanetF1.com after heavy criticism following last year’s maiden release. While F1 Manager 2022 was met with praise for the immersive graphics, there were numerous complaints about the gameplay itself with players suggesting it was too easy, repetitive and lacking any playability for long-term saves. Fans felt annoyed that the faculty was too low, meaning you could take the lowest-ranked team in the game, Williams, and make them World Champions within two seasons. There was also no way to swap teams and no ability to arrange a driver contract to kick in for the following year. There were also multiple issues with DRS, tyre wear and AI actions under the Safety Car. Frontier, the developer behind the game, further disgruntled fans when they announced they would no longer be providing significant updates for the game just two months after its launch. The day after that statement, Frontier rowed back on their decision to … [Read more...] about F1 Manager developers respond to fan backlash that plagued inaugural launch

Home Four wheelers oi-Athul By Athul Published: Wednesday, June 7, 2023, 15:20 [IST] Taking care of cars can be a bit of a task during the monsoon season. Not only the cleaning and water-related issues but the rusting of parts also become a major concern for many car owners. One of the more common and widely suggested practices to protect your car against rusting is the use of anti-rust coatings. Though these anti-rust coatings are widely used and suggested, some users claim them to be less effective as well. In such scenarios, it will be difficult to suggest something that has mixed positive reviews. However, let us get into detail and see if anti-rust coatings can really prevent the formation of rust. Rust Rust is a reddish-brown oxide that forms due to the reaction of iron and oxygen. During monsoon season, water or moisture in the air acts as a catalyst and speeds up the rusting process.

As the country strives to reduce its carbon footprint and transition to cleaner forms of transportation, EVs have gained significant attention and support. Last year, our Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, addressed a gathering by stating that EVs have brought up a 'silent revolution' in India, which will help the nation reduce its carbon emissions. According to reports, around five crore EVs will hit Indian roads by the end of 2030. The shift is currently happening globally, but this silent revolution will benefit the heavily populated India on a larger scale. The country's focus on promoting EVs is driven by factors such as the increasing reliance on oil imports, increasing pollution … [Read more...] about How EVs Contribute to India’s Carbon Neutrality Goals – Building A Sustainable Nation

Toyota had seemed set to return to the top of the Le Mans timesheets for the first time since opening practice on Wednesday with Kamui Kobayashi heading the majority of the session. However, a late 3m26.579s from Antonio Fuoco in the #50 499P LMH smashed Kobayashi's best by almost a second. And, with eight minutes to go, Alessandro Pier Guidi set a 3m27.013s lap to go second, despite the #51 Ferrari having spent the first half of the three-hour session in the pits. The Toyota GR010 HYBRIDs were denied the chance to respond as a late full-course yellow, when Manuel Maldonado went off, hampered any further late improvements. Instead, Kobayashi had to settle for third in the #7 Toyota. Mathieu Jaminet in the #75 Porsche 963 LMDh was the initial pacesetter on a 3m28.454s but was soon usurped by the two Toyotas. Kobayashi claimed top spot with a 3m27.822s in the #7 car, before Sebastien Buemi went second in the sister #8 machine on 3m27.879s. However, Kobayashi … [Read more...] about Le Mans 24h: Ferrari locks out 1-2 ahead of Toyota in third practice

The most famous F1 teammate rivalry, that of Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost, took a while to bubble up after an amicable start at McLaren. While now well known as the best example of how competitive teammates can turn bitter and ruthless towards each other in their quests for individual glory, the start of Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost’s relationship at the dominant McLaren team in 1988 actually proved quite straightforward. But, as the races ticked by, it seemed inevitable that, at some point, the two highly competitive drivers would develop a more strained dynamic, and McLaren’s Neil Oatley suspects two incidents in particular set off the domino effect that led to the all-out war that developed between Senna and Prost in their title deciders at Suzuka in 1989 and ’90. “It was good. I mean, there wasn’t really a lot of tension, particularly in ’88,” Oatley, Prost’s race engineer at McLaren that year, told the Beyond the Grid podcast about the first few months of Senna and Prost’s … [Read more...] about Alain Prost’s engineer reveals when Ayrton Senna tension began within McLaren garage

Sebastian Vettel made amends for his last-lap defeat at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve two years ago and bolstered his championship lead with his third victory of 2013. Advert | Become a Supporter & go ad-free It wasn’t a flawless performance from Vettel – he brushed the wall on the way and ran wide at the first corner. But if he occasionally looked like throwing victory away no one ever looked like taking it off him. Vettel streaks away as Bottas goes backwards The same two drivers shared the front row as last year: Vettel ahead of Lewis Hamilton . But the opening laps were strikingly different: far from keeping Vettel in his sights, Hamilton could only look on as the Red Bull drove away in the opening laps. Behind them Valtteri Bottas fought hard to hold onto his hard-won third place from qualifying but his car was clearly unequal to the struggle. Nico Rosberg passed him off the line and Mark Webber got past in the opening corners. Bottas defended firmly … [Read more...] about 2013 Canadian GP review: Vettel makes amends for 2011 – F1 Fanatic
