Formula 1 - 2010 Season

[infinity4]

There is nothing different from that of KERS system. Maybe they can include two routes to circuit? maybe

 

[Bludd]

What about a jump? That would be dope.

 

[Tahir2]

Jumps and with turbo strips (they have the technology now - KERS) at key parts of every track.

A serious idea might be to limit grand prix's to one hour or approximately half the current amount of laps. Even though I love GP finding the time to watch a whole 2 hours race when it is on live is very difficult for me these days.

 

[Bludd]

I don't want the race length to change.

Anyway, the short-cut idea is just Bernie using his magic wand of publicity.

 

[suryad]

I don't think the gearbox in your M3 is like an F1 quick-shift gearbox of insanity, though.

Oh I agree. I do have the DCT in my M3 and that thing shifts outrageously quick. Of course it aint no F1 car for that I need to get a Ferrari 458 or a FXX or something like that. But hey close enough for me

As for the shortcuts idea Bernie needs to lay off the crack. He needs to stop ruining whatever bit is left of that sport.

The FXX is a special case, because if you'd bought one, you'd never get it home. Ferrari would keep it, service it, and transport it for you to a track where you could drive it around, so the gearbox in it can be very F1-like, as in: work for about 1200 kilometres and then change it.

 

[tongue_of_colicab]

Actually Ferrari does let you take the FXX home. Several owners got theirs at home.

Really? I guess Ferrari comes to you and services it then, provided you have a sufficient garage.

Though, I don't think FXX is road legal.

I am sure if one is able to afford an FXX the garage would be the last of his worries lol. Still I think the Pagani Zonda R is more outrageous than the FXX.

At least one Ferrari FXX is road legal!

With just two weeks before winter testing starts in Spain on 1 February, and teams hurriedly putting the finishing touches to their new cars, we take a look at the key factors that will shape the races this season.

 

[Dave Baumann]

Bah, don't tease me!

 

[Bludd]

Bah, don't tease me!

What? Are you suggesting that you have work to do?! Everyone knows sport is more important than anything; more important than love, more important than work, more important than eating or sleeping even.

Oh, believe me, my one and only religion is still in perspective and everything will make way for the ~biweekly attendance in front of the TV, I'm just annoyed that I still have another week to wait before we see the first car released, another two weeks before we start seeing some performances and another 8 weekes before the first race!

 

[Lightman]

At least we know that Renault is back in black

another 8 weekes before the first race!

Surely by that time we won't be also interested in any GF100 launch .

 

[Dave Baumann]

Which launch number will we be up to by then? We're already at 2 and counting...

 

[itsmydamnation]

i think the ALU's need there own Launch, after all they are pretty epic. 384bit bus high power requirements, i think the PCB needs its own launch too. There software based eyefinity will also need a launch. After that they will have run out of launch money and will just release G100 without a launch

Good, I thought we were losing you and I had to get Ross Brawn here to spill some tech details about the new Silver Arrow.

Did you read Joe Saward's blog about the different route PR people can take to get into F1? If not, here is it, it might be of interest to you.

 

[Tahir2]

DaveB is not interested in PR.. LOL.

A question.. who would pay (and by that I mean pay extra) to watch F1?

Would you still tune into F1 if it was on Sky Sport (and you did not already subscribe to it and you were not into Football or Cricket - sorry I dont know any other sports apart from maybe Kabadi) or Pay Per View?
