Current Standings




DRS Zone

In the week leading up to the Spanish Grand Prix, FIA race director Charlie Whiting announced that the Canadian Grand Prix would see the introduction of a secondary Drag Reduction System (DRS) activation zone. The plan for a secondary DRS zone would be continued at the European Grand Prix, with the first zone incorporating the long back straight on the approach to Turn 12, and the second zone using the stretch from Turns 14 to 17.

Hate "European" GP's.

There's enough circuits to roll it around.

Estoril
Jerez
Valencia
Imola
Paul Ricard
Brno
Nurburgring

Sure there's a few more in there that could host and bring racing to a closer audience in those countries and in turn, create more viewers. It's not all about Asia. Pfft Bernie.

The first zone in Valencia will run from 285 metres after Turn 10, with the second zone starting 35 metres after Turn 14. The single detection area will be 130 metres before Turn 8.

There may be a mini feature on Saturday's qualifying by DC about track days. If it is this weekend, im the guy being interviewed by him with white scirocco at brands.

Cool. I hope they show it

Not the most exciting of races but at least Valencia had some passes this time.

Cool, cheers for link. Spoke to MSV on Friday and they said I was the only one from the day who made it to tv, bit of luck really. Looking at yourself on TV is weird.
I was one of two road legal cars on circuit that day, full GP circuit at brands and everything else in the session was Mini Champ race series and Radicals.
