Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Rain...

[Erik Nielsen (judge4re]

Just back from runs in the Mulsanne and the 365 GT4, started the morning watching live feed from the Goodwood FoS. There is plenty of car stuff out there other than Bernie's circus for the need to be seen fashionistas...

Rick,

Nothing to be ashamed of. 

If the cars look and sound like s***, then that's how it is.

The rules govern this not the lack of engineering talent, so it makes some sense I think.

Hi Rick,

When it rains here we often get crickets…. And everyone has been stony cold silent since your post – not even crickets - don’t know why! But, hey, I agree the F1 cars have been hit with the ugly stick and they sound funny too but I still watch. I don’t watch Indy here because the races are not regularly broadcast in Sydney.  Also, I have to draw a line somewhere on how much living life vicariously through TV that I do versus living life in the real world!

Cheers,

Grahame

Hello Friends, 

 

I don't mean to be insulting with my comments regarding this year's F1 cars. I just find them ugly. Its just my opinion, and you know what opinions are like.

 

The current F1 formula is so restrictive that the designers have to resort to wild designs to wrestle back performance. Witness the narrower front wings that have grown a multitude of elements to compensate. I am reminded of species that grow bizarre appendages in response to a restrictive environment, then go extinct when the environment changes. (BTW, humans survive environmental change because we're generalists, not because were specialized.)

 

Or perhaps I'm overly critical of the current Formula 1 formula because today promises to be yet another rainy day...
