Talking about Lucas and GTA now!

EDIT: And now Muscle Milk is back on track!
 
Muscle Milk car returning to the track :).
 
So as long as the muscle milk car makes the 70% mark it wins the championship? No matter what position it finishes in?
 
Having problems with left turns, might be cold tires, but...
 
Ordoñez has just improved the fastest lap for the DW
 
Doing decent laps too last lap for them was a 1:11 :).
 
Motors TV coverage is going all fuzzy and breaking up atm :ouch:.
 
DeltaWing 4th :D.
 
^Now 3rd according to live timing! Curse you ESPN3! *shakes fist*
 
Cant help but smile when I see the Deltawing, Such a cool little car.

Don't get me wrong, I think the DW is a great thing, but...
I don't think it should be racing. There are rules for a reason, just because your car is the latest and greatest thing doesn't mean it should be allowed to race.
Yes, the concept of it is great, but I don't think it belongs until it fits the regulations.

When you put it like that they're good points. But you have to remember it's not running for points. Its just running to prove a concept, and its proving the concept of lightweight low drag technology very well!

^^Pretty much my exact feelings.^^

Different perspective on the incident from earlier this week:
 
He was fading right... not sure if just coming off the curbs but he looks like he could have stayed over a bit longer. But Gunnar also could have stayed to the right a bit more.

Then by that same token, doesn't any GT car with a Hybrid running "Unclassifed" fall into that same category?

Yes sir!
 
From that perspective its actually quite hard to see whose fault it is.

Exactly why I don't blame any of the parts involved for the incident or the middle finger flipping. Pretty easy to judge from the outside

Seems about right. Both could have taken a little more care.

Edit: And jav I agree, From the porsche onboard it doesn't even look like he got onto the rumble strip. and turned in more than usual. Must have been very frustrating!
