Are we checking? This is a place to take a p*ss out of motorsports.
F1 is not the only motorsport in the world, so go ahead and post your shitposts about WEC or MotoGP or IndyCar or ralley or Polish Speedway or whatever. Even Formula E, I guess. It needs some love, too.
By the way, F2 > F1.
Rules? What rules? Stop inventing. Just don't be a douche. Lemmy.world's sporting conduct applies.

How’s that different from a micro transaction I can buy in a in-game market place like in CS:GO? Like there is no way I can use this Lamborghini NFT in another game. Not now and not in the future. Like why would a game dev of another game do all the work to implement this Lambo NFT in their game when another studio reaps all the benefits.
The difference is that CS is an established game with a huge community that's not going anywhere in the foreseeable future, and there are ways to cash out valuable skins (or at least buy something on Steam with that money).
This scam was founded by a random techbro, has at most 2 people online, and will shut down in a month.
lmao, "what if Star Citizen, but crypto?"
Yeah, the vision of "transferable NFT cosmetics" always struck me as ridiculous, for exactly this reason.
Even if some hypothetical NFT spec did allow a cosmetic to be fully stored in the NFT, such that a game could implement a standard API and support NFTs from different studios, what would the specs on that item be? Is the CoD rifle gonna look exactly like the Fortnite rifle so the skins can work in each? Is the Lamborghini from Forza gonna move exactly like one from Gran Turismo?
Each game has its own engine, its own balancing to worry about, you can't just blindly drag and drop assets like this, and nobody is gonna keep up with bespoke support for an arbitrary number of assets while more are minted everyday.
Definitely one of those "promises" that's just based on sounding cool, without any actual substance behind it, at least not when it comes to anything unique to NFTs.
