Super Formula might be the new home for GP2 champs.

I approve that car. I aint even mad at the shark fin. Probably because its not taller than the rear wing.

Also Mugen Power badge is nostalgic for me. It was the first ricey thing I added to my first Honda

Also, front wing contains only 2 elements. I bet these cars even pass on track.

F1 News - Mark Webber: Alonso asked me to join him at Indy 500

Took 5 minutes just to copy and paste link and pic. My computer doesn't have the capability to copy and paste very well. This must be how the McLaren drivers feel because it's frustrating.

So what's the purpose of a single cylinder dyno? Is it cheaper?

my understanding is you do all your combustion development on a single cylinder dyno so you can compare it to your models / simulation. it's impossible to correlate everything once you have more than one chamber igniting and pushing on the crank. fuel, airflow, torque etc.

but that is a completely different effort from integrating and packaging a complete engine.

as they found out.

it's pretty hard to believe that honda could fail to scope and plan this effort so comprehensively - for three years now. this is some serious minor league ****.

When they're the only engine manufacturer in the series. Chevy and Toyota kicked some Honda butt in IndyCar and Super Formula.

This weekend? AT THUNDERBOLT!!??

Front straight is 1/2 mile long. Daaaaaaaaang. That's just about the same length as the front straight at Sepang.

Mexico, Baku, China, and Yas Marina are listed as having 1200m straights. That's about 3/4 of a mile or 3900 feet. Road America's straight is about 4300 feet or so. I believe Fuji's straight is one of the longest ever used in F1 at 1475m or 9/10 of a mile.

turtles wont be in Mexico, Baku or Chiner doe.

This weekend's 24 hours of lemon party will be at New Jersey motorsports park's THUNDERBOLT circuit!

Straights of this length will play to the turtle's strengths - POWER!!
