Do they run at Mugello in F1? Bucket list track for me.

Absolutely shocking to me the reliability issues at Red Bull with Honda engines. I thought they were dialed the fuck in after the last two years. Love seeing Ferrari finally figuring shit out. Fuck Mercedes. In the ass.
Absolutely love hearing the hardcore speculation of Audi/Porsche returning to F1 in some capacity. -
Porsche has been absent from F1 for way too long. The McLaren-Porsche TAG turbos of the mid 80's were pretty cool cars - 1.5 liter twin-turbo putting out 1100 hp on the dyno. I'd love to see Porsche back in the mix.

I am a complete Audi/Porsche fanboy. I cannot wait for their return. Porsche did well in the early to mid-80's, then everyone figured it out and they got run out of F1 with their tail between their legs. All the years of big cylinder cars kept them out, but with this new 6 cylinder hybrid requirement, it's their wheelhouse moment. Porsche/Audi can flat develop hybrid 6s, so I am excited to see what they can do, and with whom. I don't know if they plan to go full ground up ownership like Mercedes, or the engine builder route like Honda/RedBull. I secretly hope it's engine builder route and they team with Haas so I can cheer for Gunther and Porsche together. That is boner inducing to me.dflea said:Porsche has been absent from F1 for way too long.

You want Gunther running your favorite marque's F1 team. You are DEFINITELY a Husky fan!...Swaye said:

Same. The list of incredible cars Porsche and Audi have put on the track is long. My personal favorite race car of all time is the 917-30 - 5.4 liter twin-turbo, putting out over 1500 hp. When I was a kid, I thought Mark Donohue's car was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen, other that Patti McGuire.Swaye said:

And then there's the Audi Quattro Group B rally cars, and IMSA GTO cars. Unbelievable to watch on the track and on the dirt. The Unfair Advantage video on youtube is a great watch.

It takes years to properly adapt to getting kicked in the balls, but once you get there, it's really all you want. I just love Gunther. I can't help but root for the goofy bastard. Can you imagine Haas good? Would also be great for an American team to finally do something in F1. And they have Schumacher Jr. Yeah, if Porsche/Audi come in Gunther probably gets fired tbh, but it's fun to dream. Reality might be P/A just do their own team from the ground up like Merc and Ferrari. I'm okay with either, but would slightly prefer the engine builder route so they don't get embarrassed for three seasons figuring shit out.1to392831weretaken said:

It's the OG 917 for me. In Gulf livery. The car that started it all for Porsche as the most winningest team in endurance racing history. It's shocking Porsche has not done better in F1 considering the MASSIVE amount of success they (and Audi) have had in ALL other forms of racing. Just a legendary team.

I just changed the title and pinned this so the three or four of us who aren't gay can follow along the entire season. Stalin will probably shit all over me.

Not with Gunther running the team!... I love the shit out of that guy, too, but the impression I get from him (and I'll admit that all I know of him is what I've seen on Drive to Survive) is that he's not the brightest F1 team boss, to put it as politely as possible.Swaye said:
