I have to say, I'm struggling to understand why some (Bob/Tom/Mike) object to A/C becoming mandatory. Yes, the poor blighters have been racing in temperatures not dissimilar to an oven for years, but is that a reason to leave things as they are. To my mind, cooler cabin conditions for drivers is a logical progression in motorsport, whichever way you look at it. Why do drivers need to endure the discomfort of extreme temperatures and heat exhaustion whilst plying their trade when it can so easily be avoided? I guess it sorts out the men from the boys, and is all part of the fun............

My money would have still been on the Audi if the Pescarolo or a LC70 was at 860kg for the 24 hours last June. |

but remember how the pescarolo's were on the pace of the R10 audi's in the same weight and the audi's were faster at lemans than in the ALMS trim later in the year if the pescarolo was to run at 860kg because its already a very fast car that blew the competition out of the water in europe because it was such a reliable car and a quick one although the courage LC70 mugen's in all fairness had the leg over pescarolo in terms of down and out speed the LC70's werent really reliable enough to truly challenge the pescarolo's but if the pescarolo ran at 860kg last june i honestly believe and would put money on it that pescarolo would have won lemans quite comftorbaly we saw how much quicker the zytek was and the creation than the the R10 at petit and they are slower than the pescarolo so we shall see in ALMS next year if the LC70 courage is reliable enough and runs even at the same weight as the R10 the LC70's with good drivers will definetely send the audi's running home and if the courage ran at 860kg the audi's would not stand a chance on most tracks especially if the cosworth turbo engine turns out to be as good an engine package as the mugen V8 that courage used in 06 although it will hopefully be more reliable

I frankly don't believe that the education system has failed you so badly as to render you incapable of communicating clearly on an internet forum. Will you please, please do us all the decency of thinking what you are writing instead of just writing what you are thinking. Two more points. We have numerous regular contributors to this forum for whom english is not their first language. Consider firstly how on earth they are supposed to decipher your posts, and secondly, how is it that their posts are infinitely easier to read than your own. |

1. That's funny!
2. I agree. Unrelated, I still think the Audi's have more in hand than what they showed in the ALMS last year. I still maintain that Audi would have beaten any 860kg LMP1 last year at Le Mans. |

I'm ignoring your posts ATM until you learn how to use a comma, they're just too much hard work to read. If you want people to read your opinions in the future, then it would indeed be a Good idea to ask your english teacher. |

i post on another forum and write exactly the same way and people dont complain, they take in the opinion or whatever has been said instead of ignoring the point of the post. what happens if you were the prime minister and one of your employees had to file and important report for you and you completely ignored it because of a mistake in grammar and dismissed it we the government wouldnt get very far now would it? |

Secondly, if you can make the effort to read other people's writing (which is only bad occasionally because they're not English, and do not speak the language) then why can't you make the effort to read your own? I'm willing to spend the time reading a post a couple of times to understand it, but there is a limit to everything. I tend to ignore most of your longer posts because they're completely unreadable. When your talking amongst a group of people you don't know, it's best to try and communicate to their standards so they can take your opinions on board a little easier. I don't see why your disgusted at people digging your grammar. They're genuinely trying to read your opinions but it's simply too difficult. |

dj
Although I have to work at it (sometimes to the point of tearing my hair out), your posts are great. I would prefer more punctuation but, hey, I would also like a beer right now and the cooler is empty. One of the greatest works of 20th Century literature had many pages of your 'stream of conscious' style of writing so who am I to complain. London solicitors seem to like the same style--a bit too much for my liking. CARRY ON. If you want to live on the edge, however, stick a comma in every now and then. That will really fox us. Three cheers for dj |

Is it?? Sounds like great prose to me...not dialog. Bob, you hate rules and restrictions, why impose them now. DJ is just exploring the envelope. |

OK. I've resisted as long as I can, but most of you guys criticisng DJ have errors in your own posts, mostly poor spelling. None of us are perfect.
I just want to read about sportscar racing. Last edited by Hammerdown; 1 Dec 2006 at 20:54. |

The whole thing is, if he had simply explained why he cannot do basic grammar, rather than have a hissy fit, it might have simply gone away. Alas, he did not. Unless there is a physical reason, as there is with another well known gent who uses only caps at another site, extremely poor grammar, which is different from spelling mistakes, which, many, including myself make, for I rarely proof read, (and this format does not allow one to correct errors later on) poorly written sentences reflect on the author, and unexplained defense of said same, is simply odd. Now he could say as my grad. Engl. prof. said when whe chided him on spelling errors on his hand-outs, "I teach English Lit., not English Grammar", the ultimate cop-out, but dj merely goes ballistic and explains nothing. If dj had the credentials of some great writers, he could get away with much, especially in this day where liberals would love to deconstruct the Literary Canon, but he does not. No one has said one word about desiring perfect grammar, unless there is a medical reason, the intelligent content of dj's rhetoric, has no reason to be written as jibberish. Bob |

Just for asking: why did the ACO introduce a 'control' fuel supply?

One way to conrol HP output. Race fuels ( Shell or Sunoco ) must be comercially availbe for Race fuel retailers. Not just Audi gets a specific Desiel blend and Pug gets another Blend. |
