2014 NASCAR Thread

I take it Nascar hasn't invented Intermediates/Full Wets yet?

We've been over this before on the thread and 2013 and prior ones as to why it's not feasible in NASCAR at most places.

Good Year has them, but they wouldn't be very effective here.

 

[Panoz]

Brad thinks his car "can take the lead and run away with it." A one car draft dominating would be something very new.

Must be thinking he's Bill Elliott.

The cars have way too much power and not near enough downforce to even consider wet weather racing.

Ovals are fairly useless when wet, it's a bit like a toilet with the banking, water comes out from the top and falls down the bottom, creating streams, if you want. Extremely dangerous.

Epic quote-fest, thanks chaps, 'tis a shame there's no way around it.

So do we keep falling back after every commercial?

If you can engineer them, I'm sure you'd be quite rich...but then you'd have to engineer a system at oval tracks as well as the tires to make it work...

Better to just spend the small amount of time waiting.

Tornado warning...

Air TITANs are great.

The 2003 Brazilian GP was a good example of the dangers of streams running across the track - 6 cars fell off the road at Turn 3 alone, 2 more had big accidents at the start of the pit straight - and those were F1 cars on full wets. Look it up if you haven't seen it - something to do during the red flag

 

[Rossell2]

Thanks Roo, that does ring a bell, I think that was the one where Alonso had an almighty smash?

W... What?! I'm seeing severe Tstorms..

Huge roof over the whole track, even more unrealistic than rain tyres though (could work at short tracks like Bristol though in theory.

My Twitter feed is blowing up with both.

Stupid but funny.

Never would work lol.

Florida is real flat. Tornado warnings with any line of storms is not uncommon.

The only way to make Bristol louder would be to put it inside a dome.

And then you kill 100,000 people with the exhaust fumes.

I don't know if that shot they just showed was live, but it looked pretty dark and wet out there.

 

[Rossell2]

Thanks Blitz. Also thanks to the whole thread for putting up with my ignorance.

That's the one.

Just roof over the tarmac. Leave the infield open. Done!

We are all ignorant lol

Welcome to NASCAR country

It looked like most of the water was coming up off of the track, not falling from the sky.

I meant just over the track the people in the infield can all buy umbrella's from Rihanna.
Red flags were invented for thinking up crazy ideas 👍
