I'm afraid Matt is right.
However, a major improvement could come from promoting IMSA's short FCY procedure (pit remain closed till green again) to their regular one and use only that one to deal with incidents. If larger and more time consuming track repairs need to be made the longer procedure incl. pit open for P/GT can be applied. Same goes for serious weather conditions. This way a lot of yellow time will be turned into green time. Isn't that what we all want? |

well, go full way and don't have the SC pick up any leader, but just the next car happening along. There's something urgent to be dealt with if it deploys at all, so why bother with waiting for a leader. "Oh my but the main race could be hampered!" Dear Sir or Madam, the main race is being hampered by unnecessarily extended SC periods. [/end of an european's opinion]

I agree with Matt that Code 60 will never happen. But it should happen, so I don't see the harm in continuing to ask for it. That's what feedback is about right? |

So about that bop, what is the lambda numbers in gtd indicate? Is it a good thing to be closer to 1.00 or further? And why are they lowering the weight of the NSX but increasing it on the Lexus? Do they expect the RC F to do better in the corners or something? It did get a restrictor boost as well.

I'm aware the discussion was the technical BoP details but the point is that the full course yellow wave around procedures artificially affects results even more so than BoP does.

Air-fuel equivalence ratio. Theoretically 1.00 is "ideal" but it doesn't really matter. It isn't a balancing parameter, they just declare it to make the process easier.

Oh ok. I wasn't sure if the manufacturers claim the numbers or if it's something the performance balancing of the fia do.

I dont think the enduros will/can ever be popular outside of the very dedicated.
Were very lucky to get any form of coverage for those races. If you want ratings you would probably promote the sprint races for the more causel viewer. |

A long read (by today's standards) but quite revealing (what was it that somebody here suggested about MP the other day....?).
So far the Lexus IWSC campaign seems safe but might Gentilozzi (senior) exit soon? http://www.racer.com/more/viewpoints...=1&limitstart= |

How much are tickets?
If you present 19 previous races you should get in free. |

I laughed at that email. I probably won't bother digging it up.
