Topic: E-Sports filling the gap for real sports

Lando is doing Indycar again. Great race last week. About to kick off.

Whoops missed the start but last weeks Brazil race was great. Live now

@BearsEatBeets Last week’s race really was brilliant, if it wasn’t for Leclerc’s penalty then it would have been even better.

@nessisonett yeah, penalties playing a part again. They clearly tread a fine line with track limits.

@BearsEatBeets I have to say, that was quite the end to that race. I’ve played quite a bit of the F1 game and it’s just so easy to scoot over the line, the cars are seriously hard to control even at the best of times.

@nessisonett I've not played an F1 game in many years, but this series is tempting me to give it a try.

Class race that was. I don't know how George got away with his constant corner cutting though.

Fernado Alonso joining in the fun at 18:05 (UK) and 19:20 with Button and other pros/ex-pros.

Qualifying happening now in a wet Monaco GP. Valtteri Bottas and Estaban Ocon are joining in the fun.

@BearsEatBeets That was a very fun and very stupid race. Always nice to see loads of crashes and penalties 😂😂

@nessisonett yeah some of them used the no damage setting to their advantage. Lots of car 'nudging', maybe they should make the real cars tougher to allow for that.

All being well we won't be needing this thread anymore but it looks like it got a few views so hopefully it provided some entertainment to some people besides me. My thanks to those that got involved.

@BearsEatBeets Very true, I’m real sad about not having the virtual F1 on TV anymore, it became a staple in my house despite never really being into the real thing!
