Alright! Nice to win. I will also to a ranking of your entries (so no voting). So the next challenge will be... Location: Anywhere in the world! However, I will value realism as well as track design! With realism I mean both the track design and the location of said track. Track length: Between 4.5 ...

I think the better question is, what if Group B only banned the Rallye cars. Remember, Group B was also a GT formula that never got off the ground (288 GTO anyone?). I wonder if Group C sportscars would have been at the top for so long if there was a viable alternative. It's a good question, and it...

Even though he had his faults (like every human has) he was a competitor to the end. His death has saved millions of lives.. a legacy he would value higher than his three world titles. Ayrton!

That is what I wrote on my Facebook wall. A bit inspired by Mosley's comments on it.

If I were in either of their shoes (I wish!) I would not share my best information. This is the point when gloves come off inside the team. The winner of the intra-team battle will be WDC.

Since Marcus Ericsson will make Swedes interested in F1 again... Length: 3.8 - 6.1 km. Location: Sweden The track can either be a street circuit or a permanent racing facility. Try to make it realistic (think about runoff, pit areas). Mark the start finish/line as your first point on the gmap. Have ...

Oh god dammit once again I fail to read the rules. I thought it just meant highways, as in motorways. Well, anyway, the rules are the rules and here is my new entry. Not maybe the most glamorous location of London but the track makes up for it with its two hairpins and Suzuka style esses. http://www...

There is a real possibility that Ferrari could finish 5th in the constructors (behind Mercedes, Red Bull, Williams and McLaren) and with a pairing of Alonso and Raikkonen that would be of catastrophic proportions!

The Fuel Flow rule So apparently these FIA sensors couldn't provide a accurate reading. I mean, how is it possible that car #3 'consistently' exceeded a flow of 100 litres per hour when the race lasted 1 hour 30 something minutes and car #3 started with 100 litres even considering the SC periods? A...

CarlosFerreira wrote:I think the idea is to smooth fuel flow, therefore limiting maximum available horsepower. If you use more than the average horsepower, it means that at peak your engine is over-using fuel. The FIA wants to stop that.

Why? To reduce cornering speeds?

I don't like the "double points" rule at all but at the end of the day the scoring system is the same for everyone and an equal opportunity to succeed has been provided. I mean it is better than the "Only X scores of Y rounds count toward the championship" scoring system that mad...

Stage 3 really shook things up. Bouffier apparently with the right tyre choice to go into the lead ahead of Meeke. Kubica behind Sordo (+1 sec) but ahead of Ogier by some 35 sec. Hirvonen and Latvala already minutes behind. Say what you will about WRC, and the state of rallying in general, but Rally...

I don't envy Pirelli at all! First everyone complains about tires and now when there would be a chance to test them at Jerez only X amount of teams will show up (less data for them)! Also, the irony about Mercedes tyre test here is enormous! Last year everyone complained about it and now 6 teams see...

It's well known that most of that debt (Lopez puts it over £80 million) is to Genii Capital, ie., debt "to themselves" as Genii is the owner of the team. £30-35 million on debt is not that much. What is really crucial to know the true health of the Lotus team is: are these £30-35 million ...

Watch this and ponder (only 1 minute in length): Published 5 jan 2014 No one should pay for a mistake with their life.
