Why would Porsche join F1 ? Why would anyone join F1 now ? (understand: car manufacturers)
I mean yeah Porsche has a resembling engine architecture but thing is F1 technical regulations suck. Even the engine anchor points are mandatory !! They have a lot more freedom in WEC, I don't see why they would move elsewhere for now, they are competitive. Every month or so there's an argument in the media about how unviable F1 is, and how the sport's popularity is dropping. Who would be attracted by that if you can do something else ?
And take it as a valid argument or not but endurance races are still more road relevant than 2h sprints.
But in the end you never now what's going on behind closed doors.

I can't disagree with anything you have said. The only reason I mentioned Porsche was because of what you understood from my post, but I have to admit that in the position they are with the WEC, they do have more freedom, and are competitive as we've seen already.

I know its the wrong thread but who is watching the Blacpain GT from Silverstone this week end? A grid of 62 GT3 cars cant be missed! Probably the biggest single car class grid every out side of spa 24.

Probably the biggest single car class grid every out side of spa 24. Maybe..., missed Monza but there were 58 cars, not too far. Poor first chicane... Thankfully real GT drivers don't behave like Project CARS' AI (most of the time). Sprints are 90 minutes right ? Why don't you open a thread for Blancpain or even for global GT racing ?

You brought the topic on the table in the first place. I don't watch the series much, I can't even give you ONE driver name.

You're gonna love it guys ! Pastor Maldonado, his life, his work. MALDONATOR - THE MOVIE ! His restless concern about testing safety limits in motorsports will never be forgotten.Fun fact: I found it out via Andre Lotterer making fun of Pastor along with James Rossiter on Twitter.

Am I the only one thinking Pastor has calmed down this year ? He still made few mistakes but had a lot of bad luck this far. I have to re-watch Barcelona 2012 but that race is the proof he is a quick and solid driver when he's not messing around.

Nope I agree, all his incidents have been due to bad luck but he's improved massively. However he's lost his speed and will never get it back now. why? because people keep putting him down even when he's done a good job.
