geezpot Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Damn that went from a car race to a boat race rather quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avancier2 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 F1 technology is unsurpassed. I read in a magazine from 2005 that one of the materials used in the current (05) jet fighter planes was deemed outdated in F1 cars in 1991. F1 cars are usually 85% carbon fiber. Jet planes are no where near made of that much carbon fiber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayabusa Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 i heard something like, they can go from 0 - 100mph then back to zero in about 7 seconds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauler5150 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 They are fucking beast, I think you are crazy to drive as fast as they do in those conditions. Where is the European GP held anyway? If it is England, what do they expect other than heaps of rain?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayabusa Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 Nurburing in Germany...the British GP at Silverstone was not rained out though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauler5150 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Damn foiled again in my attempt to make a joke at the UK weather. Isn't it flooded there at the moment? At least the Germans can drink good beer and watch cars crash in the rain I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRUNKEN-ASSHOLE-ONER Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 How come the ones that slid off toward the end stayed there and didn't try to get back on the track? Were they stuck or were they just like "fuck it" and gave up? I don't know shit about car racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayabusa Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 i think most of them were fucked (wrecked the car) the one who did get back didnt really hit anything too hard those things are delicate and dont like going across rocky gravel its the Euro GP cuz thats what its called, there are many more GP's all over Europe but bearing the countries name where they are, this ones just European Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauler5150 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Well the Germans once thought they were the best nation in the world, so for them to claim to be the European GP is no great stretch. I personally like to watch the Monaco GP, as that is a damn hard track (as found out from playing Gran Turismo, haha) and the scenery there is nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayabusa Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 hahaha yeah Monaco is tough ive tried it on many racing games as well plus it usually has tons of good action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferris Bueller Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 How come the ones that slid off toward the end stayed there and didn't try to get back on the track? Were they stuck or were they just like "fuck it" and gave up? I don't know shit about car racing. It's the gravel trap - they're on most race circuits. I think it is mainly a precautionary solution for slowing down an at-speed car when it goes off the track, lessening the impact with the (tire)wall. But to answer your question, once a car is in, it's stuck where it then requires the use of a crane truck (as you'll see towards the end of the clip) to fish it out.

colt45oe800 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I missed the beginning of this race and man did i miss a lot. I'm suprised Hamilton was aware enough to not stall the car and keep it running. this was awesome too. Alonso passsing Massa Hayabusa-have you ever been to an f1 race?

Hayabusa Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 nah i havnt been but i have been thinking about it id probably want to go to Montreal or maybe Monte Carlo or somewhere where you can see the cars nicely (not zooming by you at 300000000 kmh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
