I see. It's up to them to convince the breakaway series that they are the better place to be. But Is Philip Island at F1 levels, or are they going to be next year?Quote:

I'm shocked, stunned, speechless in fact.
I need a little lay down. Please excuse me, I feel faint.....
Well, while you are at it, you could also acknowledge that I was right in the KERS thread too, about the position of the Ferrari KERS system, now that there is plenty of material around! :p :Quote:

Bluepring or photo should do. Not some Journo article with their best guess.
I just want two races in the usa--somewhere like Indy for the masses
and then seca for me...if i live long enough to see a f1 ferrari, mac, et all swopping down from the top, trying to beat it out of the decreasing radius last corner at the bottom, then I will have lived
(must say, in an effort to make the corkscrew "better", they really removed a major part of the challenge, plus where they moved and put that stupid bridge and moved back the fence, destroyed my favorite viewing spot :mad: :mad: :mad:
It was quite the challenge and still is--their is only one other corner like it to my knowledge with its kind of ambience, eua rouge, and even it has been shaved down---may be others, but i just do not have enough knwoledge to comment)
The old corkscrew, well let me tell you, about half way down, it was very tempting to get on the gas, after all dropping downhill at a very steep rate, also adds speed, but the final curve went from cambered inside to off camber, plus it was a sharply deceasing radius at the end, and was still going downhill--with a wal on the outside from where the hill had been cut back, but not too far...
loved to watch and one could even feel the fear as a rider or driver suddenly realized that extra speed was now about to put him in the wall--funny, how with rossi his first two races there, you could see him at the top, turn to go down and then hit the brakes hard, for really no reason right there, then go down to that last corner of the screw and hit the brakes hard again---and he was always getting passed there about half way down by canadian and us riders who had gotten more use to it..
With the changes and several years of expreience, last year, Rossi was the one doing the passing...
As rossi said that area of the track was not even safe to walk on, let alone race....
oh well,
You'll have to accept what it's in the open, I didn't manage to bribe any Ferrari insider to send me their 780 pages of technical documentation! ;)Quote:
