    :confused: ;)

    They're closer than they've ever been - I know you remember the "halcyon" days of only two or three cars finishing on the same lap; Wanna go back to that?

    My point was I'd love to see 'em do, say, 10 test days on the Monday after the race - You don't have to take part, but if they can it should be permitted to all of 'em, not just the non-podium guys. I've never heard a good argument as to why they don't do this.

    Cheers,
    Ian

    Absolutely! I'd go as far as to say the results almost *never* tally.

    Given the razor edge on which they're operating and the critical nature of aero these days this is probably the biggest single challenge they face. Hence the speed / pressure arrays they all now sprout on Fridays - None of 'em are sure what's going on!

    Cheers,
    Ian

    No doubt it's a better show these days and if that's the goal they've succeeded.
    If its the great tradition of innovation that matters most we all lose.

    It's not all bad news, apparently the guys selling Hi Viz/Flow paint are doing a roaring trade! :p
