Hammerdown should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Hi Guys

Newbie here, so this works OK. Thanks for a fascinating discussion over the last few days.

Now for my twopennyworth:

Strikes me that if the ACO frame diesel regs that allow for a 10% power advantage and a 50% torque advantage, then the weight should be adjusted accordingly. That would be my interpretation of an even playing field.

I think the ALMS has worked out pretty well this year and they've got the weight-breaks just about right. There are times when the petrol P1s should have won but didn't thanks to inferior pitstop work. (Not sure about the inferior drivers argument though - I wouldn't say the likes of Minassian, Johansson, Weaver and Smith are in anyway inferior to the Audi guys.) The racing has been tantalisingly close on occasion, Audi have won everything but the privateers have had a good run and it makes it worth watching (or listening to), hoping for the day (maybe this weekend!) when they can pull it off. Would be very interesting to see a Pesca in there wouldn't it?
