India vs Pakistan

[Wolffang]

It doesnt matter who is infront or behind as far as India and Pakistan are concerned they are out to beat each other.

WAR on the Race Track!!!!

Media in India have grabbed this. Even the odd Bollywood star is pushing this angle!!

Since Pakistan are doing better than India in the practice days..

I just hope India dont just shunt Pakistan off the track!
Now now.. temper temper!!!

Who knows there could be a surprise, since India historically have a knack for making their opponents think they are weak.

My verdict is that neither Pakistan or India will get past Paddock Hill bend on the 25th.

most of the crew in indian team are indians, who are not that experienced compared to the Super Nova crew working for pakistan.....So the they might be having difficulty getting the right setup ...or like you said they might be just keeping it Low key for now

[FastFreddie]

I think the battles between nations could be the highlight of the Championship. For instance, England v Germany, India v Pakistan, Everyone v USA...

El Salvador and Honduras went to war because of the outcome of a football (soccer) game once....

i think nkfan has hit the nail on the head......the team are still very inexperienced and plus they missed the first test at silverstone. will be an interesting contest for sure !!

Good to c that there will be some rivalry between countries finally in motorsport

[Amar7605]

As long as everyone is professional and not childish about the rivalries, this is gonna be a great series.

Unfortunately Pakistan's drivers Adam Khan or Nur Ali are both very inexperienced and will be mince meat. Adam Khan didn't start racing untill his teens and his performances in British F3 have been truly pathetic. Nur Ali won the Southwest regional championship in Formula Mazda against 4 competitors! What more do you need to know. At these recent tests I suspect Adam Khan was carrying no ballast and almost no fuel.

Brands Hatch has given ratings on each of the countries

Check out the "Ability to avoid shunts" !!!

Sorry, I can't find the rating page Where on the site is it?

[#15 tkm 4/]

when you click on the countrys is give you information on the drivers in that part.

So click on the country flags on the home page and see from there

Did anyone see the Motorsport News ratings of the various teams - Top France and Brazil 8/10 - Bottom Pakistan 1/10

UK 7/10

[Wolffang]

These ratings are based on the the testing sessions, history of the country and the how in the past they have done in motorsports, if the drivers tend to crash.. which i think is a good rating to have, the experience of each of the drivers.. remember, this is not about the driver.. as its a team sport... drivers could change from race to race and session to session... COOOOLLLL!!!

ps remember, some countries did not test until this week...

We will see on Sunday whos the best of the best!!!

Look like the predictions were somewhat out.......Adam Khan PROVED HIMSELF BEYOND DOUBT with his performance at Brands....outqualifying, Yoong, Speed, Verstappen amongst others. Race 2 was amazing, started 7th, made up a place a lap to reach 4th......only a seized wheel nut in the pits cost him position....Good luck for Germany!

Yes, Pakistan was very impressive in Brands Hatch. For me it was a good surprise.

Big disapointment for me was: USA, Canada, Austria and Italy.
