would it be much quicker at the chase? i would imagine that it would see 300 in theory, but would lowndes take it that hard and would it not head a redline at a speed not that much greater

Hang on a minute, what happened to that saying "there's no substitute for cubic inches"?
Of course its been proven wrong before, but everyone now seems to be in agreement the statement is false? |

Everyone that thinks otherwise is an idiot. Ex. 2.6l turbo engine vs 5.0l N/A motor would be questionable in that aspect, but then go and turbocharge that 5.0l and you've just outclassed that 2.6l in straight horsepower and torque. |

from 10am till 1:30pm. Both drivers will do laps in each car with a delay in obviously changing over seats etc. Not sure how the potential rain will interfere with this schedule though??? CAMS have said it won't be officially timed due to "safety concerns". |

What a great little event!
I don't know what the officilal crowd was but there was ten times more people there than what I thought there would be. Hey, if the Mount can pull that many people to watch just two cars do a handful of laps, imagine the crowd that would turn up for a full F1 round! Powers to be, wake up, spend the money to bring the Mount up to scratch to satisfy the safety concerns of the F1 organisers instead of wasting money cutting up the Mount to put in a "kiddies track". PS, just heard the Mayor on the radio say the crowd was around 15,000 -20,000. Amazing!!! |
