Driving/Racing Styles

Although it annoys me that some of the modern drivers "stand on" the TC, there's no point not using it to your advantage is there? Since it's there, you may as well use it. I mean you get some drivers who are classified as "smooth" drivers who are slowly on the throttle etc through a corner, and then you get the aggressive d00ds who just stand on the throttle.

Either way, if it's a toy that's legal you may as well use it. If they take it away they'll adapt. This is the "pinnacle of motorsport" for goodness sake, I doubt they'll suddenly start dropping off the tracks like flies if they told the teams that TC was illegal for the next GP

think u will find in 1993 when ms did not have tc he was spinning all over the place until he got tc. but seeing as most of the cars had tc he had to make the difference some how.

How do you know? You cannot be sure of this.

And ferrari were actually caught using traction control in 1994.

Schumi is great to watch when hes pushing, i love when the car gets kinda jerky and goes wide at the end of the corners.

Talking about going wide,if you run a little bit off the curb limit, will you be faster cause you are obviously exiting with higher speed? Cause sometimes in GP4 I get a bit off the curb and my lap time doesnt turn as good as i thought.

Mark Blundell answering a question about Alonso's driving style




Alonso has a very fast turn-in approach with his style of driving but, saying that, the car has to be able to take this and you may have noticed that his car was even quicker last season than this one.

One thing is for sure: Even though the car produces some understeer it does not break away on the rear, meaning it has a sensational amount of grip and stability on the rear of the car.

You can work to trim the understeer level out to a manageable amount with a strong rear end like this as it is not slow and doesn




LS's Tip of the week
ESSENTIAL OILS aren't essential unless you're an engine, a gearbox or a twat

he might find this hard next year at mclaren then.

larni was the driver that said ferrari had tc in the 2nd race of the year he said they turned it on and went much faster, then he said they only done this in testing.

Mclaren also used fully auto gear in imola as well.

they used full auto gears in Imola this season?

i though that was banned and the drivers had to change the gears with the paddles?
