Mentors Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Open! This week the teams begin their on-track preparations for the 2009 Formula One season, which sees some of the most far-reaching rule changes in recent years. Tighter aerodynamic regulations, the return of slick tyres, the arrival of adjustable front wings and the introduction of Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) are all set to make cars sleeker and overtaking easier. It means a busy winter ahead for the designers and engineers, but Pascal Vasselon, Toyotaâ??s senior general chassis manager, is relishing the challengeâ?¦ http://www.formula1.com/news/interviews/2008/11/8679.html 129 days left to the season opening :smirk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torneyboy Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Between whom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colorwolf Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 between the favourites (team wartburg) and the red bulls... cars of the latter have fine asses indeed and all the talk in dj station and the other silom gay venues has been about the improvements the red bulls are making to their behinds...for not only will KERS be introduced but also ARO (Automatic Rear Opening) for added uptake and tighter grip... at various times last season the wartburg have hit the red bulls way hard from behind (remember hockenheim?) and this is only going to get worse!

AF16 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Depends who is allowed to adjust their engine and who are not. It's not like it's a competition any more. Thinking about going full spec series, now it's 90% there already. F... F1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
