I kinda was against this one too, sounded like a big impact to the historical area around it. I'm saying this as a history nerd that likes to preserve history

Plus, I want a proper race track anyways (Laguna Seca anybody? Hello???!)

The simple answer is still IMS... Facilities? Check. Track up to FIA standards? Check. Capacity? Check. Hotels in the area for visitors? Check. Ease of entry/exit to track? Sorta check.

Not to mention Indy being one of the original, pre-war, Grands Prix.

It is? I thought Indy didn't count towards the points up until the late 50s?

maybe not for the drivers chip?

from wiki:

The first World Championship took place in 1925, but it was for manufacturers only, consisting of four races of at least 800 km (497 mi) in length. The races that formed the first Constructors Championship were the Indianapolis 500, the European Grand Prix, and the French and Italian Grands Prix. A European Championship, consisting of the major Grand Prix in a number of countries (named Grandes Epreuves) was instituted for drivers in 1935, and was competed every year until the outbreak of World War II in 1939.

random note: why not control the f-duct with your left foot instead of your hand?
if it's for straight line speed, your left foot is not going to be doing anything while you have the car floored...

too much modification to the crash structure?

Likely.

I'd guess that the F-ducts that are hand controlled aren't actually in the monocoques, but rather in the surround that goes over the driver's shoulders, then channeled up through the engine/intake cowl, thereby not requiring a chassis recertification.


In unrelated news, this year's F1.com recap vids seem to be better than last year's. China has probably been their best for the year.

Still not as good as the 07/08 videos that I remember though.

[kngrsll]

i just caught up on the vids not long ago... looking good. basically sums up the race
