Most overtaking is done under braking.Quote:

Redgate might be too quick for F1 cars
Starkey straight should be alright. Just hope they don't get rid of the undulations under the Dunlop bridge.
Melborn is too tight for overtaking. You just plonk your car online and have a slow in and fast out. Practically impossible for a F1 car to overtake. Not so a touring car as you dont mind stuffing it up the inside and a bit of scraping.Quote:

Wonder if my membership to the DPRAC means I can use it during GP weekend :D
Guess not :(
I like how they have just spent loads of money rebuilding the current pits and now there gonna rebuild them again :confused: :D
I think its a real shame to lose Silverstone, i really enjoyed that track, i think its one of the more testing tracks, especially in the wet like we saw. Hopefully Donnington will be just as good. The one positive out it all seems to be that at least there will be a GP in britain after 2010, which is good news
With the current Melbourne loop configeration, were not going to see much overtaking. If the run to Adelaide hairpin at Magny-Course is only just long enough for people to get a run on the car ahead, given that Estoril is going to be of a similar speed to Copice (guess here), Starky's isnt going to be anywhere near long enough unless the Esses are removed.Quote:

Planning permission hasn't been granted yet and is likely to be the end of the year at the earliest.

A decision at the end of the year would still give them 18 months or so to get it sorted - certainly not impossible
I am absolutely devastated at the news that tge Dunlop Bridge is going to be pulled down as part of the track changes. The bridge is one of the truly iconic features in British Motorsport and helps make Donington Park what it is today.
Donington to me is a superb single seater, touring car track in its current configuration. What they are planning to do to accommodate F1 may see it turn into a mickey mouse circuit. I hope I am incorrect but I can see Ecclestone pulling the race before the end of its 10 year agreement.

Correct me if I'm wrong but a few weeks ago Simon Gillet said there were plans to move the Dunlop bridge elsewhere.Quote:
