Magny-Cours

Read my last post

I can't be beat by a (looks at Scotracer's profile) a Scottish!!! Now, I demand that an Formula 1 race takes place in Magny Cours. I want it now. If I lose, I'll take a plane to Edinburgh and pay Scotracer a whole night of beverages. Else, I expect him to fly to either Bilbao and San Sebastian, where he will learn the true meaning of "chiquiteo".

Au Rouge and Pouhon - Spa
Turn 5 & 6 with 12, 13 & 14 - Malasia
Campsa - Barcelona
Turn 8 - Istanbul park
Turn 5 and Schumacher S - Nurburgring
Turn 11 - MAGYAR NAGYDIJ
Turns 19 thru 25 - Valencia Street
Lesmo 1 & 2 with the Varianti Ascari - Monza
'S' Curves and the Spoon Curve - Suzuka
130R - Fuji
Turn 6 & 7 - Interlagos

Monaco, Hungaroring, Magny-Cours and Singapore are going to be ridiculously fast. They may even need to adjust the run off zones!

haha yer i wish, i don't think it will be THAT much faster, maybe 1 second or 2.

unless you expect a casualty on that corner let's keep calling it Copse

hope all the lap records can be broken this year, makes it even more interesting to watch

130R is Suzuka. I cant think of a single turn thats notable on fuji, what are some?

The first & last corners are actually quite interesting... both off camber and variable radius. But I'm glad to have Suzuka back.

A quite interesting analysis of last weeks Jerez tests. You might need to translate the website by using http://www.google.de/language_tools?hl=en (spanish >> english (or whatever you prefer))

Is that the Earth for the car Jack (metal) just in case the bodywork happens to be live.

As for the traffic light - technology for technology sake......some people never learn.

[modbaraban]

Any idea what those sensors are for? There's one on the podvane and one further back on the floor.

[ISLAMATRON]

probly tire temp sensors, one for the front & 1 for the rear

Maybe its a tether so the car cant leave with the rear jack, we seen that happen before havent we? or maybe a sensor to send a signal to the pit stop lighting system... but why couldnt they do it wireless.
