Getting hit by a ton of anything is going to be fatal. It just takes more feathers than lead.

I suppose we would have determine what a Standard Feather Unit (SFU) and a Standard Lead Unit (SLU) is before we could try to assess the validity of that. I do, however, struggle to see how to go about achieving such agreement on the attributes, ergo relative values, of a single SFU and a single SLU. It would, of course, remain irrelevant either way. A ton is a ton is a ton, regardless of the relative number of individual units required to create it. |

It's OK, we could just blame Ferrari.

in IndyCar you get to watch them conserve fuel for most of the race. The first 3/4 of the 500 saving fuel is all that got talked about.

Le Mans is mostly about reliabilty, it's basically about saving everything and balancing that against performance over the course of 24 hours. Tyregate. Quote:

Yes, tyres are always interesting. Nothing new about that. There seems to be this impression that everything in the past in F1 was just 100%, flat-out, pedal-to-the metal, from start to finish. Never has been. |

So these tire things, well something that lasts more than a few laps, is that SO difficult ? for 5674 sake. Last edited by JeremySmith; 5 Jun 2013 at 02:39. |

Given we have no refueling, then we need either tyres that present challenges like they do now (or a challenge by being race-life tyres, which are designed to need managing to last properly).
If we have tyres that are reliably decent at all times for the teams, and we also have no refueling, then be prepared for a large number of rather uninteresting and processional races. There is an argument which could be made that would say this would be purer, but there would be a great deal of complaining. |
