bump... anyone got any nice big rally pics (McRae) i could background?
Double file race start, Single File restarts?
Confirmation thread?

Small aircraft and racecar drivers have a bad history... RIP ColinIf LH had gone to a typical "starter" F1 team, i.e. Spyker, Super Aguri, Red Bull, none of us would pay any notice. The Only reason we all claim his greatness is he is in a car rejuvenated this year, by a team illegally possesing Ferrari documents.
The CLR flip, technical, but written with very understandable language:

A lot to do with the tear-drop body shape, which creates aerodynamic lift.

lol... priceless
It will permanently hash a cloud of shadow over LH or FA when they when the driver's championship.
Interesting shot. Guessing by the depth and angle of the rear diffuser, I imagine that its a very effective bit of kit (relative to the wing). My guess would be getting that closer to the ground would be worthwhile.
The reduction in AoA of rear wing would be countered (and hopefully surpassed) by the diffusers increase in efficiency.

Interesting.
Aerodynamically, while lowering the rear would increase the diffuser efficiency, it could decrease the rear wing efficiency by taking it out more of the airstream, right? (I've no idea the proportion of diffuser/wing df provided by your car, unregulated diffuser?)
Is the oversteer just in medium-quick to very quick turns, or a general condition?

You can't do more than 3 hours of an event,
.I don't see the use of shortening the event, if its still a multi-driver afair.
Interesting that Leidfe and I are the only two who posted our reasoning, but we are outnumbered in the poll...
If it's "only" a 500 mile race, then driver changes are inappropriate.
Stick to the plan, if you require multiple drivers, 4 hours.

I can see where he thought that. Though it was before the track begun the turn, and when you're side-by-side there needs to be more respect for each other, especially on lap 2...
I know oval racing doesn't have the same basic "overlap" concept.
On lap 2 I was in the middle of a three wide sandwich going into turn one.
I'm following the dashed white lines as my guide, and BigTime turns into me before the track begins the turn.
It was an unfortunate, and it hurt a number of cars. We need some general guideline as to what the responsibility is of the drivers' lines when side-by-side.

Sorry for double post, does this thing actually start at 1:00 PM Eastern time US?
I might be able to make it after all...
it looks like ~18 commitments... Should make for a good group, 1 hour till kick-off?

I've got quite a bit of work to do, but if I can get done in time, I hope to see you there.
I think you need to have harsh rules to promote proper ettiquete in league racing like this. People who really want to be here will drive to the standard that is set/held.
Question: Why is 1 lap pentalty now a LL pentalty? I'm just curious, as it wouldn't be hard to figure where someone would end up if they really had 1 lap deducted from their count. It seems somewhat arbitrary in this regard:
4th place car(with LL pentalty) finishes 2 seconds ahead of 5th and 6th place cars, however 5th & 6th place cars are seperated by the leader and thus -1 lap to 4th. So the 4th place car looses nothing due to it being a LL pentalty.

Apparently Ferrari found .8 seconds over the testing they've done there.
Go Ferrari Go!
Go Ferrari Go!
I agree with the Shep, if we want this series to be of the caliber of real-life racing, we must act as if we believe it as such.
Everyone probably knows my stance on this already, as I've been outspoken. But I too would like to see harsh pentalties. Cutting off the balls of the knuckleheads.
