return of the CPS!
i know it's been in the Saturday race at Winton with the 50 litre rule but in eNews i says now they have 2 CPS to complete in the Sunday race with a 100 litre rule.
will add strategy into it abit but i will wait to see it in action. i think they are just trying to bring back the passing in the pits theory. i was glad when the CPS went and so far i think it has been good. let them race on the track because if pitstops are the most exciting aspect of a race you have problems. atm though my thinking is fair enough if you want to enforce a CPS in the short race (even though i would like a lights to chequred flag race) but let them go in the long race. |

Pto, the intention was to have smaller tanks, but after winton and as a result of the teams not being happy about the smaller tanks they decided not to bother and just have these compulsory fills.
the theory is that you need the stops to make the sprint tyre work |

Out of interest does anyone have a count on the amount of regulation amendments in 2009 after 3 rounds?

Can't have 'free thinking' in V8's (well, Australian motor sport in general really) - that could end up showing the 'powers that be' that the teams might have a better understanding of what racing is all about.
Nah - couldn't possibly do that with people running the sport who - in 95% of cases - have never driven a race car except on the local back streets... |

That really sucks. They must have feared the racing became just that little bit more pure.

actuually isnt it the free thinkers who came up with the rules
and doesnt this create free thinking as opposed to fill the car up and run it to the end, no thinking there, any petrol head knows that |

racer, i think you are only half right.
it does create passing through pit stop strategy im not sure how in anywayy it can reduce passing on the race track though. in fact with the sprint tyre it creates passing on the race track |

I suppose with the sprint tyre, they have extra standard tyres to play with, so this lets them 'deploy' all their fresh tyres in the longer race to fend off those who have saved the sprints?
The strategy could get super convulted... People pitting and lap 1 and then late in the race. People taking both stops back to back under a early safety car (seems the way to go). Anyone who takes them in short succession during green flag will go a lap down at Symmons? |
