Here is a link to the report. It's all fairly straight forward, I think. Track drainage is something that I didn't think of, but it's a really good point.

Rev. Dr. Moses P. Lester posted:That was a pretty interesting story that I saw on the History Channel back in the day. The Russians basically held hostage a couple B29 crews that emergency landed in Russia for like half the war because they wanted to study their planes. They didn't have SAE tooling to produce the 1/16" (or whatever) aluminum skin for it so they had to vary the thickness of the skin on the plane between 1 and 2mm sheets (or whatever). There is a story about the incorrectly machined rivet holes being duplicated, I don't know whether it's true or not. Buran is interesting; due to political pressure the outline design was copied, but systems-wise it was loving awesome. It had an escape system (the Russians weren't convinced the Shuttle did this right) and the Energiya stack was all liquid fuel. The cost unfortunately was utterly prohibitive, but it made a fascinating companion to the STS programme.

NtotheTC posted:That is an amazing article. I want it to be true so badly because it would demonstrate once and for all that Briatore is an eternal fuckup who couldn't manage a child's school project and ought to be banned from anything to do with adult life, let alone F1. I was thinking that Ron Dennis has Alonso by the balls, he either signs for them under Ron's terms or he can sit the season out, there's nowhere for Alonso to go unless 3 car teams become necessary and even then I don't think Red Bull or Mercedes would hire him considering their policies. Such awful contract negotiations.

Starting in 2016, you have to be 18 to get a F1 superlicense. I still think it should be at least 21.

An age restriction is silly, why not make it 'if you are good enough' It makes sense on an actual drivers licence as it stops a large amount of applications that will usually fail. On an f1 super licence its not like everyone can apply for one

Skarsnik posted:An age restriction is silly, why not make it 'if you are good enough' Because driving an F1 car is a combination of fast reactions and learned experience. You can throw a 16 year old into a car and he can drive the car really fast in a time trial. He won't have the racing experience learned from spending years in the lower series of how to drive in traffic. So you end up with them making GP2 moves and crashing people out for no reason.

I hesitate to make comparisons between 2 wheels and 4, but I'm going to do it anyway. Counterpoint; Marc Marquez. Good enough to carve up people with a decade of experience on him while he was a teenager, in a sport where I would argue the consequences of a mistake are more likely to result in serious injury.

And that 21 year old doesn't have the experience of a 25 year old either. These days, kids have been racing since they were 5. That 16 year old has the experience of a 25 year old joining the grid 20 years ago.

I also liked the Korean track. It represents the high point of the FIA's denial about how a track can be fun to drive yet provide utterly poo poo racing.
