thats why ive stayed in the 60's and 70's for my internal combustion powered toys.
not a lot of electronics and no computers.
much easier to work on, and already have the tools!

The real deal is not a four, but it ain't big either.


The current F1 engines are six-cylinder engines, constructed in a V-configuration at 90 degrees, with a 1.6 litre displacement.

This past season going back to ground effect downforce was the big change. It took the silver arrows two thirds of the season to work it out. The one thing that has been talked about was making it clear who's corner it was. There is two race directors now, and they don't call balls and strikes the same. Lots of drivers are really upset over not knowing what is legal from race to race.

But for the actual cars, the size of the mirrors is the main thing.

The long winter wait is over. P1 and P2 from Bahrain is in the books. Alonzo was fastest. Not expecting that.

I always rooted for Haas after Tony went racing for him. But this chaps my ass.
