When you make the majority of the car out of carbon fiber, a fire system is not going to put it out. I looked at the Cadillac at CoTA and even though the chassis is made of steel, just about everything else is made out of carbon fiber. The resin in that stuff burns no matter what fire system you have. If that McLaren catches fire, better get a hot dog vendor out there.
As for the live feed. If you are going to have companies sponsor it (which they run TV type ads on it) then make sure it works. They are paying to get their name out there and thus we get it for free. If not, tell the sponsors to go away and charge a fee to subscribe. I would think, plenty would sign up for that right away. I know I would (as long as it's reliable). The V8 Supercar feed I get works like a champ on my TV with great resolution all for $40/season. Plus it comes from the other side of the world. The GTS races were really good though. |

How many FIA GT races in particular did I watch when the overall winner failed post tech by the most minimal of margins and lost the win and all the points... not to even mention the amount of lower placed cars. It's harsh, but the right thing to do and keeps the jokers at bay. Last edited by Deleted; 27 Apr 2015 at 19:54. |

Yup :P
And if you end up winning one of the big races like Sebring with your fraud of a car, who even cares of points |

Of course you wouldn't win a lot of friends in the paddock that way, but hey you get a picture spraying champagne!

I think the point that many miss is that the fire protection system is to buy time until the driver gets out. It will rarely put out a fire on it's own. |
