    Prisoner Monkeys replied to the forum topic Australian V8 at COTA some thoughts in the group Group logoAustralian V8 Supercars 17 hours, 49 minutes ago

    I think the problem with the race format in Austin was that the organisers wanted to be able to say they had four races on over the weekend instead of two, even if the two races would both have been twice as long […]

    Actually, it’s a hangover from the old Canberra circuit. The pits were notorious for being very narrow with a high-speed approach. The old speed limit was 60km/h, but it was revised to 40. The race was removedf […]

    With regards to the pitstops, they’re a necessary evil. Some of our circuits – namely Barbagallo, Symmons Plains and Homebush Bay – have very tight pit lanes and very cramped pit boxes. It might look like a joke […]

    @andae23 – I’m pretty sure van der Garde has a family connection to McGregor.

    That should read “shake-up”, not “stand-up”.

    Prisoner Monkeys commented on the post, Lowe to start work at Mercedes in two weeks’ time 1 day, 12 hours ago

    Maybe, but with the team struggling this year, perhaps they saw releasing Lowe as the catalyst their technical stand-up needed.

    Okay, you can keep it like that if you want … but it might hurt your chances when it comes time for me to choose the winner.

    Okay, I’m going to say that @brickles and @npf1 have got it right – @andae23, @zazeems, your circuits need to go down one side of the highway and back up the other for most of their length.

    Your task is to make the new AVUS.

    First, you will need to find a motorway or a highway. Your circuit must go down one carriageway, and come back up the other. You may build whatever roads you need to connect […]

    How he expected to maintain any sort of relationship with McLaren is beyond me!

    Perhaps by offering McLaren the best engines on the grid from 2014.

    Prisoner Monkeys commented on the post, Lowe to start work at Mercedes in two weeks’ time 2 days, 15 hours ago

    Sorry, but McLaren would be using the same engines as Mercedes next year even if they didn’t let go of Lowe early. The rules dictate that customer teams have to use the same specification of engine as the works […]

    The comment was a reply to another comment which stated that Mateschitz is only being right “when his team loses”. A lot of recent comments seem to forget Red Bull were complaining long before Barcelona about […]

    <blockquote.Carlos went to my school. Really nice guy, but was only really interested in racing.
    Sounds like a perfectly reasonable fellow to me.

    I wonder how he’d go in Formula 1. I’ve long been convinced that the key to successfully making the jump between Indycar and Formula 1 is to make the transition early.

    Prisoner Monkeys commented on the post, Bungling the tyre row will give F1 a tainted title fight 3 days, 16 hours ago

    I’m not saying that Pirelli don’t have a case to answer for. I’d like them to make changes to the tyres, if only to shut everyone up about their durability for half an hour. But the problem is that when they start […]

    @nick101 – You don’t think that engines that weigh less than a hundred kilograms are of any value to the manufacturers or road cars? You don’t think energy recovery systems have any practical […]

    Which part of the suspension, front or rear? Please let us know and we can email Red Bull and tell them where they have been going wrong, I’m sure they’d be delighted to hear.

    They were saying it in Malaysia, you know, that race they got a 1-2 in. As I’ve said elsewhere, the fact they are saying these things even though they are leading both championships actually adds credence to their comments.

    Reading between the lines a bit, it sounds like the problem is that the teams have put so much time and effort (and money) into channelling the exhaust gasses over the diffuser to generate downforce that they’ve […]

    Yeah, there’s no sense banning KERS. It’s one of the few things that keeps manfacturers interested in the sport, since they can adapt it for use in road cars.

    Next year’s regulations might spell an end to DRS, […]
