Wich track isn't with the current F1 cars?

Albert Park

that's because it is the first race and everyone has forgot how to race and that they have to wait until pitstops to pass someone

I wonder if Daytona Prototypes could put on a good show at the Hungaroring.

It's the ardennes, you can't even predict it a minute beforehand. It's safe to say that that forecast is 0% correct :p

I doubt it, but it'd probably be better than racing around the infield of some oval. There are things to hit to bring out safety car after safety car and they like that.

Back on topic, one thing I am looking forward to is HD onboards+Spa... :thumbsup:

Did I also hear rumours Red Bull might run KERS for this race? :ohmy:

I think they could.

So, will someone BAR his way through Eau Rouge this year? :p

What ? Last year's race was very boring except the last 2 amazing laps.
But I have a feeling that we can get a great race with rain!


Last year's race was drama from lights to flag and is what make Spa a special place. Raikkonen's move for the lead after Hamilton's spin was one of the overtaking moves of last year.

Go back and read last year's thread. There were 9 pages of discussion for laps 4-40. Most of the posts were 'driver x pits'. The only interesting thing to happen in that time frame was Kovalainen using Webber as a brake into the Bus Stop. It was a mind-numbingly boring race for 80% of the distance, and unless it rains this year, the same will happen again.

2007 was one of the worst possible races, when the top four qualifiers finished in the top 4 places.

I agree completely with the ones remindings us that even recently we have seen blatantly dull GPs at Spa.
Last year it seemed I was the only person to perceive the race as an entity. While most people only remembered the last 5 laps, thus giving rates from 8 to 10, the more realistic and worthy number would have been around 5 or even below it.
Therefore I don't have high expectations for the race if it's dry. Track might be fantastic but in terms of racing, sadly, it usually means nothing.

Time for spa again! Can't wait! :D

Hopefully this race will be good, because recently this season the races have been boring. Some rain would be really good.

Sorry, but the 2008 race will always be remembered for that great fight at the end, just like Dijon 1979. That race was also very boring except for that final battle. But now people who never saw that race claim it is one of the best races ever.
Last years race was boring, but the end makes up for that. So it was a good race when at the end you can say " wow, that was amazing" (but then the FIA shits in the face of every fan by giving penalty's to the man who made the race memorable)

if a race has 5 good laps, then that is still 4 more than most races these days
