lol. F1 got too boring for me. I stopped watching back when M. Schumacher was still racing. Seems like the series became overly regulated. I like racing where you can bump and rub without getting penalized. I find more excitement out of FD and the various Australian series because of this.

Rubbing in open wheel is just a bad idea. And FD is one of the worst motorsports bodies there is. I used to attend all the events in CA for FD and D1. Havent been back to FD since they decided they could just make shit up on the spot so a guy that spun out could be given a 7-3 advantage (this was like 2008ish)

I will agree that the judging has become very stupid in FD, as I've questioned their decision a bunch of times thinking they're letting favoritism advance a driver.

I have small hands so it helped lol. The front driver plug takes just as lobg as the other 3 combined. I think it took me around 4 hours. There are 3 of us that need to do ours so were gonna time how long it takes on the first car vs the last one lol. I also spent a fair amount of time trying to find the correct spark plug socket during that 4 hours as well

Wonder how long it takes the pros?
