Obviously the TWG are looking to make F1 safer but this is an idea too far.

Hate it, hate it, hate it.

This is exactly the stupid argument I was talking about before. Just because there's a canopy on the car doesn't make it a DTM car or an endurance racer.

As per normal, you resort to insults :rolleyes:

People don't like the idea. That is their opinion and just because it differs from yours, does not make it wrong.

I hate the idea; period. I don't need to qualify any further than that for it to be a valid point.

I said that your argument was stupid. It's not an insult. The unofficial motto is to attack the post, not the poster and that's what I did. You are the one that's attacking me by accusing me of resorting to insults.

Would it not perhaps have been better to say you disagree with the argument, rather than the argument is stupid? :s mokin:

Perhaps. But it's hardly an insult is it :s mokin: But then again if you're the sort of person who likes to overdramatise things....... :laugh:

He didn't say it did! Why is it a stupid argument? It is a valid viewpoint, and getting stroppy because it differs from yours is not helping the debate very much.

Retro does not want to see covered cockpits in F1, that's his opinion and he's entitled to it. What givesyou the right to tell him he is wrong or stupid for having that opinion?

The thing is as usual, you've not read my post. I said his opinion was stupid. The implication was there that this takes F1 closer to GTM or endurance racers. The silly thing is that he said "Why don't people that want to see that sort of racing watch DTM or GT racing and not bugger about with F1." which is just silly, how does having the canopy on there actually change the racing? :confused:

I can understand if someone doesn't like the look, it's foreign to them, but to make silly statements about it changing the racing is just..... silly.

Then why is your statement based on something I didn't say? :confused:

you are attacking the poster, not the post. You even contradicted yourself with that little snippet.
