Step 1: Revive Kodak again
Step 1: Revive Kodak again
Apply the idea to F1 and bring back some of the iconic liveries. The McLaren Marlboro, the 70’s Ferrari, the 7Up Jordan, the Elf Tyrell, the Gurney Racing Colors. While we’re at it, make some of the newer teams rename themselves to align with their heritage team. Force India becomes the Jordan team again, Marussia can…
That is true. However, if applied with a shorter take, it would separate the cars while allowing for passing. The NASCAR setup creates too much drag which in theory creates drafting, but only separated the cars as desired for indycar safety
Why don’t they look at the windscreen. If they were to implement a taller, more raked windscreen like the 80s f1 cars, the nosecone would have been sucked up and over the helmet. In addition, add a higher drag setup to spread the cars out. If it worked for NASCAR at Michigan, it could work for indycar. Just add it as…
I have to disagree. Watching the Mercedes parade was downright boring compared to the intense competition of Pocono. The incident was tragic and is going to put a further emphasis on how the cars are constructed and how they are designed to come apart. However, rather than signing off an entire series because of…
Neutral. A merger so awful there was infighting and competition themselves. They managed to kill a nations mainstream auto industry as they circle jerked around a trash can/Morris marina fire. The worst merger of all time: BRITISH LEYLAND.
I did notice that they rarely mentioned Wilson. Granted, I didn’t notice him crash until I saw there were two cars down on the apron. I thought he hit Karam.
I do agree. However for protection from projectiles, I’m not sure if there are better options. A true windscreen like those on the turbo F1 cars might work. Other than that, I don’t know what they could do.
I revoke my initial comment. However, unlike Jules and Schumi, there seems to be greater optimism in the community. I also feel like this should be the final latch on the canopy. For speedway racing, indycar really needs a closed cockpit, especially since they are going over 230 and want to climb.
Judging by the reaction of the safety crews as they transported Justin to the chopper, it does not seem that his condition was critical initially. If his condition changed it was not to the knowledge of the fans watching at the race. As for indycar, they also seemed to have no reason to stop the race since there were…
How about a Mazda Rx-7. Comfortable for the long hauls on the highway. Modern enough amenities to keep you sane. Space for 3 hockey bags plus sticks (1 hockey bag = 2 suitcases). Then, once off the highway, you can enjoy a high revving, agile sports car. If you are OK with high miles, you can even splurge on an FD.
You are correct when it applies to low budget, single vehicle teams like most uf us who tend to read. But ask yourself: If you had a chance to win and knew both guys could still run next weekend and get paid for the current weekend, would you still run a patient race in second, especially if you get a bonus for…
The problem is that you are looking at the incident as if it were run by the low budget teams most of us are used to. At the NASCAR level, they can get away with this with no issue because it they do trash the cars, they will not put both teams out of business. So yes, at the amateur or semi-pro level, respect the…
If such is the case. Would it allow a hockey stick or long panlk of wood to fit through
I agree. I would be curious to see a white flag quadrant to show each class battle. How hard can it be.
At least with the people I know, when I mention I’m a car enthusiast I immediately am flocked with questions about diesel trucks of muscle cars. Some people have still not updated their stereotype.
Thank you for the idea for a prank. We have one at school which played the dumbest message, might have something funny this year instead.
Any major race at Watkins Glen. The festivities are immense, the whole track is generally visible, the town has phenomenal hiking and food. And it is a blast to drive. What more do you want.
Unlike others trying to bash NASCAR I have an actual idea. For the restrictor plate tracks, add an underside blowoff dam or flap to disrupt the air. Dillon only began to flip after contacting Hamlin on the banking, causing air to rush underneath and push the car in the air. If there were a means to disrupt the air…
The bigger problem for Williams was not the team orders. All of their pit stops were over half a second slower, really costing Williams the chance to keep 1-2
