Re: OT: Why I have decided to stop watching F1

Hm, you know me from somewhere?

So you prefer drivers to drive of the road without traction control,
like happened today, get airborne, and get hurt.

Garbage. Traction control doesn't stop you from getting airborne. It's all up to the nut behind the wheel. And just in case you didn't get that, I meant the four brain celled idiot who was driving.

I DISAGREE

Well, that's one thing we have in common, we both disagree.

There is no difference in streamlining a design in a wind tunnel,
improving on an engine, or improving on the electronics, it has
become an integral part.

Yeah, but that's like saying the technology of books hasn't changed for a century. True that they're made up of paper sheets with ink for writing - but the underlying technology that was used to construct books then, and now, is vastly different.

It's all about cost and mass production.

Wind tunnel testing is done to reduce drag for the purpose of reducing fuel usage.

The sexy slim rear wings you see on many cars today? There PURELY to reduce turbulance, and thus reduce drag, has NOTHING to do with using the wing for downforce. Very different purposes between F1 and a domestic vehicle.

EFI became popularised not because it's a sexy yet geeky technology, it was only because it was the only way to keep up with the tightening emissions laws. Did you think it was for improved power? Bzzt. They don't care about power, they care only that they comply with laws.

Pick up your remote control, and switch to boxing, cycling, or smash up derbys. Your choice.

I already made my choice, they made those cars unsafer then normal cars
by removing the electronics.

You have no clue, do you?

Why watch a bunch of anti modern electronics idiots try kill themselves
because they think it is such a sport.

:-) Because it's a challenge.

Next people who watch it will be disabling ABS in their cars too.

You're an idiot.

BAD influence.

Oh, I'm sorry, like boxing make people go out and bash each other's heads in? No wait, they already do that, way before boxing ever came in.

But sure go pay, some only go to see cars crash, well plenty of cars crashed this time.

You really don't understand how motor sports works do you?
