How steep is the banking at Las Vegas where Dan Wheldon was killed?

In case people get confused, in the fictional film "Grand Prix" which was set in 1966 the Italian GP included the banking. Hence you can find photos of 1966 cars on the banking.

The Athy circuit wasn't really a figure of 8. There were two loops with a common section about 20km long. The 1st, 3rd and 5th claps were on the shorter clockwise 65 km loop while the 2nd, 4th, 6th...

First "Boxer" engine to start in a F1 GP - the twin cylinder supercharged DB-Panhards driven by Claude Store3z and Paul Armagnac in the 1955 Pau GP

The largest capacity entrant in any WDC race. And, I think, the heaviest. Because of its weight and consequent heavy tyre consumption it was unable to do many laps at its qualifying pace.

Dave Evans drove the first diesel to run at Indianapolis.

Pre- World Championship, Jimmy Murphy and Ralph DePalma were 1st and 2nd in the 1921 French GP

Please explain the AJ Foyt family more clearly - I'm totally confused. :confused:

I'm pretty sure that Pike's Peak did count for AAA Championship points from 1948 to 1955 but not after USAC took over in 1956 or CART in 1979

I'd clean forgotten that discussion and that there were any questions about Schell's Cooper.

On the original theme, another 2-cylinder Formula 1 car was the pair of front wheel drive supercharged...

1100cc Cooper-JAPs regularly competed in Formula 2 races. So I suppose a reasonable description of Schell's car would be an "1100cc Formula 2 Cooper-JAP"

As Schell drove a Cooper-JAP in the...

The car was definitely not designed to be a Formula 1 car. But the Formula 1 rules were so loose in 1950, with no minimum weight or capacity and no dimensional requirements, that it did comply with...

Impressive - to say the least. The surface is bumpy and breaking up as you can see when the Audi "yumps"

The Sitges track still exists. It is possible to walk all round it.

I think this is the track where they got the geometry of the transitions from straights to bends wrong.

There was the race on the Narragansett Park horse race track in Cranston, Rhode Island, USA in September 1896. This is claimed as the first race on a track in the USA, and probably in the world.
