Alt+F1: 84 - Canadian GP Prerace 2016

Woo! Kennader!

Hey, a race that takes place at a time I can actually watch! Canada represent!

VroOoOoOoOoOm!!!!!!!!!

Time to listen to Drew sound Canadian

Why is the picture from Pripyat and I think STALKER? Haven't listened to this yet, just curious.

My favourite ping pong podcast.

I haven't listened either, but I'm guessing it's a reference to the abandoned Caterham facility. A lot of people go to Pripyat to take pictures of the abandoned buildings.

Good article on the difference between F1 and Indycar: http://jalopnik.com/use-this-chart-to-not-look-like-a-chump-who-doesnt-know-1778975453

Nutshell: Indycar is closer to a spec series. Everyone's cars are mostly the same and the costs are WAY LOWER without all the R&D.

A Chernobyl race does sound appealing...

What is the french outro song?

I love the fact that Drew has to clear his throat before singing CAMPING WOOOOORRRRRLD TUUUUUUCKS.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeah! Can't wait. I'm flying out tonight for Montreal - this is my first ever race weekend! Suffice it to say that I'm unbelievably excited.

Thanks Danny + Drew for stoking my love for F1. Wouldn't have taken the plunge into this most excellent of sports without the podcast!

That derelict places website is kinda beautiful.

Weird, but beautiful.

Hey I got a shoutout at the end! Woohoo! lol

@drewbert in italian and french the g followed by n is pronounced the same of ñ in spanish (like in niño). So think of the word Sardegna (Sardinia) as if you were to read Sardeña

Pretty good EJ impression form @dannyodwyer at 44:39.

Also, Drew should know about Hell, from DiRT Rally.

The MotoGP riders blame the asphalt run off for the death of Luis Salom last weekend in Barcelona. They believe gravel would have stopped Luis before he hit the air fence. https://motomatters.com/blog_entry/2016/06/03/editor_s_blog_on_motorcycle_racing.html

edit: oops just got to the part where they acknowledge the accident.

All of this New Hampshire talk pleases me.

Formula 1 introduced the pitlane speed limit after the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, before that they would go through the pits at near racing speed. It's insane to think about that now, with the sheer number of people just feet away.

I don't think the limit was in reaction to the deaths of Senna and Ratzenberger that weekend, I think it may have been due to a wheel coming detached in the pit lane.

Kids being kids...probably European kids.

@monkeyking1969

Holy moly that's adorable

IndyCar used to have no pit lane speed limits either:

RETIRED DRIVERS RECALL DAYS OF NO INDIANAPOLIS 500 PIT SPEED LIMIT

The most expensive and boring F1 video game in the world: McLaren simulator (NYTIMES): It cost "less than $10 million".
