that's awesome..


but whoever posted this awhile back:
has ruined the formula 1 sound effect for me...


edit: btw do thy still have that one engine rule?

I don't like how they control the use of the rear flap with the proximity detection (Have to be within 1 second of another car) and within certain zones only on straights...

Just let them use it whenever they fucking want! The F-Ducts were much better this way.

I agree with you Great68! I think their chasing their tails with the new attempt at increasing passing.

My opinion is they need to scale back the braking ability of the cars. Most passing is done going into a braking zone, todays F1 cars brake in such short distance and for such a short amount of time; there isn't much to work with.

KERS and Rear Wing explanation

we got an F1 thread in vac

SCHUMACHER!!

Some preseason test video with the World Champ, showing off the movable rear wing.

They are allowed 8 engines for a season.

I think that having a maximum number of engines is reasonable, but I don't understand why they limit the RPM's. Let the teams decide how fast they want to spin the motor, reliability vs power, make it their gamble to make.

Also the gearbox rule has been updated this year:

OK with the predefined zones, with a predefined distance, the new rear wing rule seems more like a chance to get penalized by technicalities than anything else.
