Another fun towing pic, plus something for you....Dummies.
Maybe I'm just too used to the baseline quality of Motorsport, but I don't have anything much to say about this months issue - featuring a Top 20 Sports Car Drivers (Yes, Ickx is Number One).
Here's some fun stuff I thought you might enjoy:
How Colin Chapman used to go racing:
And for those of you who have trouble understanding F1, it was only a matter of time before someone wrote a book for you:
Scott, who has one more thing to share...later...

Its about time they made a book for nascar fans trying to enjoy other forms of racing.

The other thing:
This months X-Ray Spec is on the Lotus 63 4WD F1 car, one of their notable failures.
Jackie Stewart's comments on the problem of driving the car were of particular interest:
"The biggest problem was the front end understeering under power, and not being able to get rid of that either by decelerating or trailing throttle into a corner and reapplying power. You would get the car going into a 'half-neutral postition', apply the power, and you had to be a real artist to be able to catch it at the right moment to have what would really amount to a four-wheel drift. It only happened once every six corners."
Sound kinda familiar?
Scott, who is glad our silly cars are so much easier to drive than that...I usually struggle with just one out of nine corners...

Yikes, on-throttle understeer. Can you even imagine? *shudders*

Try an autocross in the pouring rain on slick asphalt...... been there done that, at slow speed though. I couldn't imagine trying to handle that at F1 speeds.
