No, I wasn't really. I didn't want to give you an opportunity to mention his lack of budget or record breaking season AGAIN... Change the record or just get on with life.
As for my proposal to ban datalogging, there are some good arguments for keeping it. I do worry that being able to 'engineer' the mistakes out of a driver will tend to mask the ones that are genuinely talented. Nothing worse than propelling a driver up the ranks only to realise that, deep down, he's lacking in the natural talent needed at the top. Maybe the ban should be on the complexity of the datalogging. Brake, throttle and steering and damper pots (limited to 100Hz so that the drivers learn to FEEL the dampers rather than relying on 1kHz+ analysis of the damper curves), engine stuff (oil pressure etc etc) and the built in accelerometer and GPS data should perhaps be enough. Ban the laser ride height sensors, tyre temperature sensors, load cells etc etc.
Oh, and make it mandatory for all 'ladder' championships to carry onboard cameras AND upload them to a dedicated motorsport website that's a bit like YouTube. But that's just for fun
