very interesting interview of Ross:

Quote from Jakg :

Ok that post was tongue in cheek, but Proton have "made" (i.e. bought from Mitsubishi and dropped it in their cars) a 2L V6 Saloon (Perdana, pimpalicious if I do say so myself. - very rare in the UK).

For "real" cars they did a (shit) version of mine with a 1.8, the Satria GTI (which was ACTUALLY tuned by Lotus and so didn't handle that bad) with a 1.8, the same engine in a Coupe / Putra, and then something a little different in the Proton Satria R3 (basically a homogolation model, which isn't in the UK due to emissions).


</Proton Geek>

The fact the average age of a Proton driver (here at least) is about 75 probably doesn't help.

I have driven two protons and i have to say they are absolutely rubbish. The engine is seriously underpower, the ride is rubbish, the interior is rubbish (and has wayy too much plastic), the brakes are rubbish, its too noisy in the cabin, not enough room........

Quote from Intrepid :

While it does remain irrelevant how well Hamilton has done, or Kimi in THAT Ferrari, Jenson Button does seem to struggle when his car isn't anything other than perfect.

His driving style really needs a car that is set up perfectly with absolutely no understeer. If the car is perfect, his driving is absolutely superb. Unfortunately his driving style does not tolerant imperfect setup unlike the other more aggressive driving style.

fall asleep.

I still think the fastest japanese at the moment is Sato.

Quote from samjh :

Priaulx = 25th
Collins = 24th
Thompson = 17th

Not bad for a bunch of aliens.

yeah Priaulx finished 12th. When the track was wet, Priaulx was so much faster than the 888 car.

Quote from Tango :

It rained a bit when the Indy race was on.

I just realised Andy Priaulx, Ben Collins and James Thompson are racing at Bathurst 1000 this weekend

do you meaning locking your rear wheels? hence the "oversteer". or you could be locking your front wheels, therefore couldn't turn.

Quote from Mustafur :

unless your name is Marcos Ambrose

haha. if thats the cases they you would dominate the race, but crash out at the last corner of the last lap. :P

but in all seriousness, if you look at last year's IndyCar at surfers, when the track was wet during the race, there were soooo many drivers spinning out on the track. The track wasn't even that wet, yet many drivers managed to spin out. No offense to the Americans on this site, but the quality of the drivers from the US is terrible.

those car goes ridiculously slow round the corners. and the drivers are TERRIBLE in the rain.

Onboard with Boutsen 1990 Phoenix Grand Prix...

F1 was so much more interesting even just watch the cars lap back then.

How much slower are those cars then current 2009-spec F1 cars?

Anyone got a video of Button passing Kubica at the start of the race?

Martin Brundle just said "the turbo era with silly amount of HP"

which years were he talking about and how much HP did those turbocharged cars have?

Wow. S3. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. New physics system, new track, new car(s). Awesome!

WOW. Renault just sacked Pat Symonds and Flavio Briatore. i guess the crash-gate is true then

It's not exactly Lotus is it? It's not even British.

and since when did F1 become A1GP?!

Am i the only one find the V8 Supercar races rather dull? There aren't a lot of action/overtaking.

Not all mouse users are super-quick, especially with all the all power cars. No matter how hard i try, im still like 2s off the WR pace due to the inabiliity to smoothly apply the throttle and the brakes

Why don't Ferrari sign a young driver? I mean whats the advantage of having Fisi in the car? Ferrari pretty much gave up this season anyways.

I don't get why don't they make every car carry a onboard camera. i mean it's not like they can't afford it or anything.

Button and Groj. accident from Rubens' Onboard.

looks like a racing accident to me.

The problem with Kimi was that by the looks of it he had absolutely no intention to stay within the race track. He just drove on to the run-off, didn't even try to stay on the track.

I would rather have Antony Davidson in the car.

Found another one:

Is it just me of the whole setting looks like that scene from the movie "The Rock"?
