something something about long straight at Baku requires the lead car to hang back just before the restart - or they might overtake the SC before it pulls in and create a situation where the leading cars would get bunched up to avoid passing it. There was an incident at last year's GP2 race.

 

SAYIN

 

Here's a though. Why not have the SC pull off earlier so **** like that doesn't happen. Find a spot earlier in the straight or b4 the last corner where SC can pull off and park while the field goes by. Then have the SC return to the pits after the cars are a safe distance down the track.

 

tell it to Charlie.

HAM's suggested solution was to use the VSC

 

Yeah, and I mostly agreed with HAM. I think the problem is the Baku marshalls are screwed over by the track setup and the FIA don't want no VSC tractor incident again. There are no cranes in Baku so they had to have tractors out on the circuit.

 

VSC would have avoided this, but also would've taken even more time to deal with the various on-track messes.

 

I hung up my super up to date McLaren flag this weekend.

 

I think the reason for the SC vs the VSC is that it bunches the field up.

The shots of the guys running around picking up debris made it seem like they were out there for a long time. With the VSC, the field is spread out all over the track and they wouldn't have enough time with a clear track to go out and pick up the bits.

with the SC, you let the whole field stream by and then you have a couple minutes to run out and grab bits without a car coming around the corner.

Back when VER drove across the grass to stay in front of Vettel and then didn't give the spot up, when Vettel pulled up along side after the race I was expecting him to bump the redbull lol.

Buxtons interview with Vettel was 11/10 cringe. I would have thought Vettel would have got his BS story figured out during the cool down lap

 

Where's the gearwall doe

 

On last lap of SC period, lead car should get VSC and becomes the SC for the rest of field. Or is this not spicy enough for the show and we need a SC out there for marketing purposes?

 

You think we have SC shenanigans now lol. The games would be even worse.

When the FIA comes up ideas they need to test them on toddlers first. That will show them any potential loop holes.

 

No plans to do much with the garage tbh. I'm going to either knock down this one & build a new one in the next few years or I'll move into a different house. Not worth investing in this one either way.

 

ROI on a new garage would be atrocious. Wood not do it.

 

That is why waiting awhile. Do want to see if I stay in this house long term.

If I do stay here, bigger garage is a necessity.

 

plan to budget $20K to $30k doe. Maybe a little less if you're using some of the old garage slab.

 

 

Yee. Sounds bout right.

No urgency to do it. I don't care about parking the Fit outside, have been doing so since the day I got it. AP1 is safe & sound in the garage, so all is well.

 

Needs a cow pusher too

HAM's car says PE NAS

 

but the harrier joke was below your standards?

 

Wait what? I haven't made any jokes since the harrier/honda comments. Only making observations.

 

TFW falcon deletes his post.

 

Say the guy who deleted his profile...

I will say Falcon seems to do that a lot.
