i hope history doesn't repeat itself and raikkonen kills sutil. I am enjoying this force india come back, it's a lot like torro rosso last year.

Quote from Bob Smith :

Anyone going to Silverstone this weekend to watch the final race?

sadly not, My dad booked a camping holiday with his girlfriend so i got no transport. I am not paying for a taxi from the train station again!

My point regarding time was that establishing a ballast amount for each race will take at least a week by my reconing. You know as well as any other person too that it's not just 5 kg here and there, it has implications on how your tyres will wear throughout a stint which may require extra setup testing once a ballast amount is established for the round depending one where your team is in their setup development process. I just don't see it fair that you pick your car at the begining of the season based on performance that may change track by track. Your basically picking the car that looks and sounds nicest and has a basic handling style. The rest of it is just all variables that you can't know until the round actually comes up.

I think that track by track balancing is wrong, if your gonna do that you might aswell let people chose their cars track by track. A better option if you wanna make it fair (depending how you look at it) so much would be to do success ballast.

I personally am completly against track by track ballast, it wouldn't work in terms of time used and i wouldnt be happy having a different car to the one i signed up to use for every race.

i doubt it but i guess you could ask the kart expert Intrepid

would that get you the marks though? it's all well making something great, but it needs to fit the criteria

Yes if it worked lol.

A guy at my school made a kart for his DT project in GCSE. It was like those off road karts what JK has.

LMAO Thank You for that

i actually started moving my butt in the seat, like a motorbike rider does on corner entry. I found it gave me better turn in and i could get the power on earlier or on one hairpin, take it flat or on some occasions near enough flat.

u cant get anybodies times from the championship

yup. I had one kart which was really good but it was my first time karting in a long time. My next session i set a PB which was a bit slower, just because the kart was completly rubish, then the session after that i had that same kart but the person who drove it before had a crash, this fixed the problem it had before and i beat my pb by a second

Woo me too. I havent karted since i was 12 (18 now) managed to get 0.9 off the lap record which isn't a great time considering its a short track lap record. So i have been looking for some tips too hope to see you guys in the finals

Quote from Intrepid :

Back in the day when men were men we would call this a racing incident, go home, and then have some beers.

The fact is Button turned in because he couldn't see Grosjean (maybe next time Button will be a tad more careful at the starts) who was not doing anything out of the ordinary for the start of race. Shit happens

Now why would anybody do that? This is the LFS Forum after all

I also forgot the fact that Flying Lizards are leading in ALMS too

Quote from MAGGOT :

Doubt it, the vettes have just scored their first victory. I'm sure this is going to be a hell of a couple of years for GT2. Looking forward to the excitement.



Porsche is the one who needs the new car I think. The (lone?) Ferrari from Risi has been doing fantastically. In either case, Porsche, Ferrari, Corvette and BMW all have very good machines all capable of winning any given event. Very good racing going on, this weekend's race at Mosport was incredible to watch.

I'd like to see Panoz, Aston Martin and the Ford GT step up their game to bring some more attention, but we'll see how it goes.

Porsche have produced a new car for this season, it's just not been reliable while showing great pace. For example they would of won Le Mans had it not been for reliability, and the porsche in the hands of Westbrook and Collard in FIA GT is doing pretty well I'd say considering who they're up against.

The Aston Martin is, afaik not a FULL factory effort, Just something by Drayson Engineering same for the Ford GT and whoever is running their car. Fact is nobody in GT2 has the support of the Porsche teams and Chevrolet will most likely give the same kind of support as they did with the C6R

Porsche have been their for years, i doubt they will get demolished. they support their GT2 program quite strongly, unlike Ferrari. Ferrari need to release a new car imo.

I think we might see the mazda in GT2 soon enough... Or i hope rather

quite true. GT2 is the flagship class of ALMS, it's LMP which is in trouble imo.

he often has contrasting opinions is all

I realised that FIA GT is on Motors TV now for UK viewers It was a good race too, even though it was at hungaroring.

thanks for that vid lmao

Quote from 5haz :

Still better than nothing, and years ago it was impressive enough watching cars lap the circuit on their own, compared to modern efficient and boring cars and circuits.

If you wanna see counter steering go watch some drifting... I think it's fine enough and mighty impressive watching them drive now. The skill of not having to countersteer and the speed of the cars is what i call impressive. Sliding your car round a corner, while looks nice and is slightly impressive, isn't what i watch racing for.

Quote from Wilko868 :

My backside looks more like Zolder's first chicane

no he is right, it is quite similar. Although i'd say more like the last chicane on FE1 reversed
