India?s Supreme Court will deliberate tomorrow whether Sunday?s grand prix at the Buddh International Circuit should go ahead.

Campaigner Amit Kumar has brought a petition before the court claiming the race should not go ahead, arguing the organisers have not paid tax owed on last year?s race.

Kumar previously succeeded in blocking the F1 race from receiving tax-exempt status from the Uttar Pradesh government.

Race organisers Jaypee Sports told the BBC: ?Whatever the court says, we are ready to follow.?

The Indian Grand Prix has already lost its place on the 2014 F1 calendar and the political disputes surrounding the race have cast doubt on whether it will return in 2015.

If Sunday?s race were cancelled and not replaced, there would be insufficient points available in the remaining three races for Sebastian Vettel to be beaten to the drivers? championship or for Red Bull to be stopped from winning the constructors? championship.

I would be very surprised if the race was cancelled. They'd stand to lose more money by cancelling it.

 

I would like to see SkySports F1 coverage trying to fill up the hours :laugh:

 

I remember a couple of years back when qualifying for the Korean GP was cancelled (rain) till the next day.

The BBC didn't know what to do, obviously they had to stay on the air just in case it did happen.

Also wasn't it Lee McKenzie's first/last time presenting the show :laugh:

Vettel takes #4, what a surprise. What a boring season it's been this year. Looking forward to 2014 and hopefully some more competition. There's no doubting Vettel is a good driver but I honestly believe his car is 8/10th of what gives him his titles. Newey is the man that deserves most of the recognition

Agree with you there! I'm not into conspiracy theories .. just annoys me that Webber's car seems to get the technical problems while Vettel just gets to keep pushing...

F1 put in way too much stuff like DRS and KERS to the point that it's more about the car than it is the driver. The result has been a very boring past couple of seasons.

It saddens me that his name is being thrown amongst the greats like Prost, Fangio, Senna, etc. I honestly don't think he's half the driver of any of them :(

 

As for KERS and DRS, can't say they really bother me; they add to the strategy of the race and to the tools available to the driver. Where I draw the line is with the tires which have essentially stopped racing and have turned the sport into a "who can manage their car and communicate with their team to get an opening" the best. Seems all too backward to me.

Lucky guy. He would be able to sell this for a pretty good price.

 

But I would still keep it.

 

Although this is India, he better be careful to not get mugged and stolen from. He just showed his face to the world.

 

I was in India for 2 and a half months for work, so I know quite a bit about it

As much as this forum seems to hate on Vettel, he's been driving flawlessly throughout the season. Watching back some of his laps and you can really see the skill he has, hey I'm not a fan but no other driver can pull a near 3 second lead on lap 1. That is partially helped by Newey of course.

 

He deserved it, especially when other teams have been floundering around the rest of the season, both Ferrari and Mercedes have dropped away over the course of the season, I thought once we got to Hungary and Lewis' win there, we might have a great 3 way battle, but it seemed obvious that both had switched resources over to next year by Belgium...a shame really.

 

Well, now that the WDC and WCC are wrapped up, let's watch and enjoy the battle for 2nd place in both, as it's fairly tight at present. We have that and the driver rumours floating around. And this is the first of them.

^ Yep, Adrian Newey definitely deserves a good share of the credit for Red Bull's success (and, in my opinion, a knighthood). Vettel's car is so ahead of the other teams that about half of the season's drivers could win the championship if they were in that car instead.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
