At the very least we can badmouth the orange army that surely soon will dominate almost every race :yuk:

My god, can you imagine Zandvoort in September if Max is still leading the title?! The atmosphere there is going to be crazy. Max fan or not, it will probably be an amazing race to be at.


"And that is the 3rd red flag of the day because some idiot set of a orange smokebomb. Hopefully they finally ran out and we can actually start with the race. For those who just joined us. We're in lap 2 and Max is in the lead and so far the race has been delayed for 2 hours due to idiots in the stands with smokebombs"

I have never understood the whole smoke bomb thing and why it is allowed. Is there some significance to it, other than attention grabbing?

Most people in the orange army are dumb fucks. They're like "FUCK YEAH!! ORANGE SMOKE!!" and dont realize how dangerous it can be for the drivers.
Part of me hopes Max crashes out because of the orange smoke.

I personally think it's cool, it adds an element of spectacle

Yeah it makes the spectators look more engaged, just like flags and banners and hats, wigs etc...

Nothing worse than a monotonous audience of polite and quiet people all wearing grey (I should know this, I live in Paris :lol: ). But like all things though, it shouldn't be abused

Yeah I think the smoke bombs look cool, would probably change my mind if I was sat behind one though lol

Along the same lines, what happened to air horns? Again, probably really annoying if you're in the crowd but they added to the atmosphere on TV

I was about to ask the same thing. I really miss them too.

Air horns + V10s = fondest memories of childhood

You've come to watch the RACE not sit under a banner :lol:
