be nice wicka posted:john force's kids, mainly. really goes to show how important it is to get in the sport early, with the appropriate support. true but there's a tradition of women in drag racing that goes well beyond the Force kids. I guess drag racing just has a far lower barrier to entry than racing go-karts.

Speaking of kart racing, I just found out that Daniel RIccardo and Fernando Alonso have their own racing kart brands. http://www.fa-kart.com/index_eng.php http://birelart.com/birel-art-racing/ricciardo-kart-racing This must be the racing driver version of launching your own fragrance line or something.

Dubs posted:OIL OR RAIN OR FOG ON SCREEN BLACK FLAG This is the first thing that I thought of. The driver will have no way of dealing with this, as they can't reach much further than the steering wheel, much less rip of two feet of plastic and put it in the 'glove box'. On top of that, the person who screams off the line won't get any dirt/oil/whatever on theirs until they catch the backmarkers, like we need the person in front to have more of an advantage. That said, I still prefer it to the Ferrari one.

Am I the only one that thinks the halo/windshield/cockpit thing isn't that big of a deal? The topic is about as interesting as the stepped noses from 2012 and everyone will forget about whatever they decide introduce six races into 2017.

I don't think it's a big deal apart from making the cars look cool as hell. Europeans love to bitch and moan about tradition which is why it took FIFA 30 years to add goal line cameras, or using video to review a play, etc.

It's F1, teams will already have really clever people set on inventing better water repellent coating than anyone else and figuring out ways to monetise it. The thing is when they are following other cars in heavy spray they can't see gently caress all as it is, once they know they have a material that can take a tyre impact they can work out the details like aero flow and water. posting because this is relevant and never not funny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeAuQ2Xem4Q

They'll be like the glass used on aircraft that basically repels water from the surface.. plus it'll just kind of streak off when you're going 200mph. It's no different to getting rainwater or oil on your visor.

They're also really effective for repelling water, oil, mud, basically anything that is in a liquid state. You can also make it bind to fabric, glass, steel and painted surfaces.

It may weaken the material as part of the bonding process. I'm not saying its not an option. I'm just skeptical it is an option in a world where teams that have hundreds of millions of dollars still use visor tear-offs.

I'm sure if teams were to subsidise helmet manufacturers then research could have been done, rather more profit in an S class with no wipers than helping another company out. Here's a very cool fact, if Massa were to have an identical spring to the face accident this weekend then he would be perfectly fine as it would just bounce off the F1 helmets of today.

But these coatings are a fairly recent invention, most of them have only been on the market for 2-3 years. It's going to take some time I think before we see it trickle down to other industries.

The indycar visor cam videos do a real good job of illustrating why F1 and most motorsports looks boring now. The on board cameras are too good at taking out vibration, all the cars look like they've got suspension out of a Rolls or a Bentley even when they're going over curbs. The reality is the car and driver is getting shaken to hell and its just the camera that's floating along. Everything is sweeping wide shots that tend to follow the cars versus static which takes away any sense of speed. Everything just seems sterilized and I'm pretty sure 90% of the complaints of the cars being too easy to drive would go away if they took away some of the image stabilization out of the onboards and had more fixed cameras on corners.

Seriously, because that video is loving frightening and those cars aren't even as fast as F1. There needs to be a rethink of cinematography in F1 or something.
