Bernis can't stand the way current F1 cars sound. FE cars are even worse lol.

I think he buys Indy Car and makes them run NA V10s.

I'm thinking something like this, either with the silver/gray being chrome or white and maybe the remaining black on the lower parts of the livery also orange.

The back of those things are insane.

Basically all mesh, with exposed oil coolers ducted off rear wheel arches. normal P1 taillights removed, just mesh in their holes. Little square housings to hold a few LED's to make it legal.

Outrun

OT but there will be a combined ITR Expo/NSXpo mega event at Road America this year September 6-10, 2017.

So I guess speculation season is in full swing...




Cars getting even longer. Shorter cars would be more difficult/twitchy to drive.

I would have expected the shark fin thing to have pretty strict rules around it, and everyone would run as much of one as they were allowed to....

Alonso helmet in progress...vinyl wrap is so hard. Going to redo the top because its completely uneven.

You can take a big *** rubber band and tweak it over the vinyl til it's level how you want it and then take an exacto over it to cut the thin lines in the vinyl. Or you can get pinstriping vinyl and go over the edges so you can't tell they're wavy.

The following is based off what I remember reading several months ago, I could be remembering wrong tho. I'm sure Esty will poke holes where I'm mistaken...

Anyway there are rules about bodywork dimensions at the back of the engine cover. This is actually where the fin comes into play. Teams that make the cover smaller (Williams for instance) had to run one to meet the dimension regs. RB did not need a fin last year because they met the bodywork dimensions without one. I am thinking we will see moar shark fins this year as teams try and make the tops of the covers thinner/smaller to try and limit blockage to the lowered rear wing elements.

That's just my guess tho so I guess we shall see.

Congrats

Make sure you check that all the faucets have the hot/cold ran correctly. I've come across 2 houses where they were swapped.

Hey Bernie, "What is obvious foul?"

Bernie: "That depends on what your definition of the word is is"

NASCAR stages road course test at Charlotte Motor Speedway

Not really sure I like this. Just go to a proper road course. Not to mention how the F would the pits work. The entrance to the infield portion of the course cuts right across pit lane. Gonna take a lot of work on the infield to incorporate a merging lane.



What they should do is run them in the opposite direction!

iracing runs that course i hate it
