I mostly agree with that, but there is a major difference between downforce from wings and downforce from the undertray.

Dump the rear wings!

I don't recall USAC having anything to do with it, but if you say so.

Yes, I remember the days when a single driver would drive Daytona, Monaco, LeMans, and CanAm. I also know it was the...

As a west coaster, former Californian and former LB spectator myself, I'm certain the connection between LBGP and Indy was fairly minimal. It grew out of the California hot road and road racing...

Considering attendance was down this year, and they will be back to REAL race cars next year, I would expect attendance to go up.

Nicely done! :up:

I'm for RPM limits and prohibiting exotic materials (two major contributors to cost), but otherwise against engine rules. I would rather have an air restrictor or fuel consumption limit, and you can...

They did a deal with Flybrid.

Simple and efficient. Now they are out testing while everybody else is still having problems.

You're seeing something that ain't there.

My hope was that GF and KK would remodel the Atlantics with turbos and less downforce so it could go back to being one step away from F1, like it was in...

I thought there were others, but from what we've heard, they seem to be ahead of the game on KERS. A flywheel-based KERS doesn't have all the energy losses of kinetic energy to electrical energy,...

You're not getting this.

They would NOT be chasing after the same fans. It's an arrive and drive vintage racing series. It will appeal to people, like myself, who enjoy vintage racing. It...

Exactly!

It is simply a new vintage racing series, with the distinction that, rather than having a half dozen or so arrive and drive outfits providing the majority of the cars taking part, there...

This would be the less than three months from Adelaide '88 to spring testing '89. I don't think they forgot what the turbos sounded like. I think the 20 years are changing YOUR memories for...

To me, it's not a matter of quality, but of a different flavor. Europe, with the heritage of open road, road racing has traditionally favored high speed tracks which flowed. In the US, they have...

Beat me to it! :up:

I don't get this growing trend toward considering rallying as distinct from racing. Rallying IS racing. It's racing where if you screw-up, you can end up going into a tree or over a cliff, with a...

In the US there's NASCAR and there used to be CART. Those tend to be what the drivers shoot for the last couple decades.

Then, we have situations like Michael Andretti going to F1 and they mopped...

I remember all the race writers mentioning how ear-splitting the atmos where compared with the turbos after the turbos were banned, due to the natural muffling effect of a turbo. The turbos were...

I'll have whatever he's having! :D

From the first it was announced I knew Ferrari would never go along with it. For Ferrari, everything is secondary to the engine.
They aren't bluffing.

I remember the days of customer engines...

:rotflmao:
Based on what I saw in a Barber Dodge race in Vancouver, and an Atlantic race in Portland, I was a big Danica fan. As it has turned out, I saw a couple of her best races. Then her head...

Yes, and I used to rip on CCWS about 16 cars, but NATCC was flat-out racing all the way! Smoke coming off the tires in the braking zones. Even though they were FWD, they would move around in the...

The best racing I ever saw anywhere. Period. :(

QFT! :up:

I don't agree. Do ALMS and NASCAR get in each other's way? This would not need to be any different. A series starting from scratch, completely focused on open wheel road racing, with zero...
