ehsnils Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 And accelerate cars careening out of control into a wall? Good idea, Nils... Nah - just a bit lower friction for the 2 meters closest to the track. Would at least keep the drivers more careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tytek Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Nah - just a bit lower friction for the 2 meters closest to the track. Would at least keep the drivers more careful. Keep the traction limit the same, I say... but embed some nails in there to result in a puncture. Equally bad idea, but much more entertaining and arguably safer.

KartRacerBoy Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) How about real big rumble strips that set off a loudspeaker that screams "Let's get ready to rumble!" And if the speaker sounds, 5 second penalty automatically! Edited October 28, 2017 by KartRacerBoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosco Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I know the safety arguments against high curbs and gravel. But clearly the stewards are woefully inconsistent just as in Indycar. Despite Charlie Whiting's protests. Maybe solution is some kind of engine cutoff if you go off track. The current system stinks. At some higher end golf courses I've played at have golf carts with GPS monitors that not only give you detailed maps with yardages but also will power down the cart if wander off into areas they don't want you in.

KartRacerBoy Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I got kicked off a golf course for getting the cart as fast as it would go, two wheels on paved kart path and two on the grass. Then slam on brakes to spin it and toss my buddy out of the cart. He did it too. Pro saw us and off we went. Rofl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KartRacerBoy Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) Hamilton. What an idiot at the start of the Mexican GP. Edit: oops my bad. Vettel cut Hammy's tire. After colliding with Verstappen's. But Ferrari so no Vettel steward penalty. Edited October 29, 2017 by KartRacerBoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilT Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 It was very clear what Vettel was trying to do, fortunately it didn't make a difference anyway so no one really cares. Double Award Winning Legacy GT Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baconbits Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 The amount of Ferrari hate in this thread is too damn high. Bottas was to Vettel's right, where was he supposed to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KartRacerBoy Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Just enough Ferrari hate. You are wrong, sir. Frankly it was a racing incident from Vettel trying too hard. I'm glad there was not a steward intervention. But it is funny. If it wasn't a Ferrari, there probably would've been a penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tytek Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 What a surprise to see sir PhilThy back amongst the living... I don’t like Hamilton... never have and never will. But my hat is off to him winning his 4th title. Too bad it has been decided already, as I will be at the Interlagos race in two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KartRacerBoy Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 You are correct, Phil. Both Schumacher and Vettel were/are German. Remember when Ferrari didn't get penalized when their aero board behind the front wheel didn't conform with the rules back in the Schumacher days? Special Ferrari dispensation. Or Schumacher trying to ram Villeneuve off in 1997 and "losing his points" but Ferrari kept the team points for end of year money? And Schumacher not getting any race ban for his efforts? Yeah, Ferrari is held to the same standard as all the other teams. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tytek Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Stay safe and don't get mugged too many times. Thanks... I go there a few times per year for business. Sao Paulo is relatively safe and I always go with local people that work for me... so no sweat. Rio is quite dangerous, on the other hand. Even locals are extra cautious and worry about being mugged, robbed, killed, etc. I am still looking forward to the race. Last time I was at Interlagos they had a local SCCA equivalent series running. Saw some cool cars and met Fittipaldi's brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tytek Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 He's polish and the Germans defeated them quite handily. In a dirty, unprovoked, and sneaky kind of way. It didn't help that all the allies that swore to protect the Poles chose to look away... that strategy did not work out very well. Until the Americans got reluctantly involved, that is, and saved the old world. Kubica is a fighter and a talented driver. It would be great to see him back in F1, but I realize that it might be a pipe dream by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
