    Proesterchen commented on the post, Which of Paul Ricard’s 167 tracks should F1 use? 1 month, 2 weeks ago

    If even Monza can’t force the teams into a low-downforce setup, you can scratch that thought completely for Paul Ricard.

    If it’s got corners, they’ll run plenty downforce, because that’s faster overall. And […]

    You can’t do that, if a car missed its brake point / has a technical problem / comes in contact with another, it slides directly into the race line if you use the double-wide versions.

    Not trying to be a **** here, but didn’t you kind of answer your question yourself there?

    None of the above, this circuit in its current incarnation isn’t fit to hold a GP.

    Proesterchen commented on the post, Lotus to keep name until 2017 despite losing title sponsorship 1 month, 2 weeks ago

    Renault isn’t involved with the team at all, and hasn’t been since 2010.

    The new arrangement is very similar to the situation of 1Malaysia in 2010, a team with a licensed name (the same name, in fact), and a […]

    That was my understanding as well.

    Proesterchen commented on the post, Lotus to keep name until 2017 despite losing title sponsorship 1 month, 2 weeks ago

    (1) Keeping the name without the $$$s to pay for it is just silly.

    (2) I’m sure the companies actually paying the team might want to have a say in its design. Personally, I can’t wait for the colour scheme to change.

    Dear Caterham, I find your lack of sponsorship disturbing.

    I especially love the over-saturated colours, they add an almost toyish quality to the cars and track.

    Beautfil work, and very well done, Jamey! And thanks for featuring his work here on F1Fanatic, @KeithCollantine !

    Proesterchen commented on the post, Williams and Mercedes lead testing mileage as Lotus hit trouble 3 months ago

    It’s not about the 2011 car, it’s about taking the 2011 data, and applying them to 2012.

    Mercedes hoped to build a conversion matrix that lets them translate what they already have to the new car and new […]

    I don’t think there is a limit to the number of engines used during testing. Testing is not bound by the 8 engines per driver per year allocation for the race weekends.

    I voted EA simply because as a PC gamer, it F1C was the game I was stuck with playing for the longest, yet it never lost its pull.

    Beyond that, I still remember the anticipation and buying of GP4 on release […]

    Proesterchen commented on the post, Private Barcelona test for Mercedes W03 3 months ago

    Unless there’s a limit on the kilometres covered in a private test, which I don’t think there is, only completing around 200km isn’t exactly encouraging for the W03′s initial reliability.

    But, as ivz mentioned, […]
