GrandPrix is over for another year.....
Sunday, March 7, 2004 by Jafo | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Back again, folks....
Hope you guys have been having as much fun as I have over the past 4 days.
These cars just get faster and faster....in spite of regs attempting to slow them down. Now, if only they were easy to distinguish at 306kph. Looking for some coloured tape on their camera pods to tell them apart ain't the easiest of things at that rate of knots.....even for a 20 year veteran....

If only.....
We did request they ensure the colour-coding of the cameras be extended around all sides....which they did do....
BTW......Lead driver's is red....second car is black....'T' car is yellow....

Sput....I may have been there but I haven't seen the race yet....
I was on driver's left, Turn 1 [directly adjacent to the end of the white blend line from pit lane]...and the only 'incident' of note there was Montoya got a bit wide on the first lap....

| Yes....watching the McLarens getting all 'loose' in the front end when exiting turn 2 under acceleration was a bit 'disconcerting'....whereas Ferrari was pretty darn 'tight' in every respect. Seems another epoch - a million years ago... when McLaren dominated..... |
Yes indeed Jafo ...but that was when Formula 1 cars mean't something .... new regulation, the rear wing endplates have been enlarged to give the sponsors more advertising space!???
Yet the cars only carry ditsy little numbers .... the usual finishing order .... Dumb and Dumber 1 - 2.
Another season, same old crap.
And Attila the Hun gets US$97M for being a good X-Box player?
Bloody insane.
I look forward to the day the Fag Packets are banned and the Major Motor industry manufacturers pull out .....
The 'Real Racers' start in a couple of weeks ..... on two wheels!
However, my views are a bit coloured by the lack of a Jimmy Clark or a Gilles Villeneuve ...... Dumb and Dumber are pretty tame compared with drivers of that calibre.
At least you enjoyed the show ....

Before the GP, I was excited about the traction control and auto-boxes being banned.
After falling asleep literally 3 times during the race, I'm wondering if it really was such a good idea.......
