kicking out michelin was a scandal! what a great way to kill competition. idiot.

what next, are they going to turn the tracks into ovals and have everyone do just left turns? after all, the fans can see the whole track that way! it'll make for a better raceday experience!!!!!!!! ecclestone is a moron...]]>Mar 16th 2007 11:33AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/16/f1-late-night-alonso-massa-opposed-to-racing-in-the-dark/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/16/f1-late-night-alonso-massa-opposed-to-racing-in-the-dark/Mar 16th 2007 11:44AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/16/f1-late-night-alonso-massa-opposed-to-racing-in-the-dark/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/16/f1-late-night-alonso-massa-opposed-to-racing-in-the-dark/Mar 16th 2007 11:50AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/16/f1-late-night-alonso-massa-opposed-to-racing-in-the-dark/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/16/f1-late-night-alonso-massa-opposed-to-racing-in-the-dark/Mar 16th 2007 11:58AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/16/f1-late-night-alonso-massa-opposed-to-racing-in-the-dark/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/16/f1-late-night-alonso-massa-opposed-to-racing-in-the-dark/

These guys race in all sorts of weather conditions already. I imagine that a fully illuminated track would have to have better visibility than racing in a torrential downpour.

If they can find a way to actually illuminate the entire circuit, then they should do it. In a series with so little on-track passing (compared to other series), racing at night would add some excitement.]]>Mar 16th 2007 1:14PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/16/f1-late-night-alonso-massa-opposed-to-racing-in-the-dark/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/16/f1-late-night-alonso-massa-opposed-to-racing-in-the-dark/Mar 16th 2007 1:20PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/16/f1-late-night-alonso-massa-opposed-to-racing-in-the-dark/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/16/f1-late-night-alonso-massa-opposed-to-racing-in-the-dark/Mar 16th 2007 1:22PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/16/f1-late-night-alonso-massa-opposed-to-racing-in-the-dark/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/16/f1-late-night-alonso-massa-opposed-to-racing-in-the-dark/Mar 16th 2007 3:10PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/16/f1-late-night-alonso-massa-opposed-to-racing-in-the-dark/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/16/f1-late-night-alonso-massa-opposed-to-racing-in-the-dark/Mar 16th 2007 3:41PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/16/f1-late-night-alonso-massa-opposed-to-racing-in-the-dark/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/16/f1-late-night-alonso-massa-opposed-to-racing-in-the-dark/Mar 16th 2007 5:05PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/16/f1-late-night-alonso-massa-opposed-to-racing-in-the-dark/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/16/f1-late-night-alonso-massa-opposed-to-racing-in-the-dark/Mar 16th 2007 8:01PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/16/f1-late-night-alonso-massa-opposed-to-racing-in-the-dark/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/16/f1-late-night-alonso-massa-opposed-to-racing-in-the-dark/in the cars again and not the Playstation paddles? What the hell, throw in that 3rd pedal the drivers haven't seen in years and lets see what happens! I bet you would see some new faces up front for sure.

Back to the subject, racing at nite is ridiculous imo. Sure they can do it. I mean NASCAR has done it for years, ofcourse they also just started running unleaded fuel so I'm not sure how they stand up as a example. F1 is broadcasted in so many countries around the world that racing at nite doesn't do anything for primetime airing since so many races are re/broadcasted later in the day (ie not live).

To bring up what one poster said I'd like to see more cutting edge stuff like when Renault introduced the 1.5l turbo v6 in the RS01 in 1977. Less restrictions on inovation and bring back more tire companies, thats's what I say. Ofcourse I don't channel the voice of God so my voice counts for crap.]]>Mar 16th 2007 11:58PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/16/f1-late-night-alonso-massa-opposed-to-racing-in-the-dark/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/16/f1-late-night-alonso-massa-opposed-to-racing-in-the-dark/Mar 17th 2007 12:35AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/16/f1-late-night-alonso-massa-opposed-to-racing-in-the-dark/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/16/f1-late-night-alonso-massa-opposed-to-racing-in-the-dark/
I recall a quote of a LeMans participant that went something like "I drive 220 mph down the Mulsanne Straight, at night, in the rain."

F1 night racing CAN be done.]]>Mar 17th 2007 1:25PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/16/f1-late-night-alonso-massa-opposed-to-racing-in-the-dark/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/16/f1-late-night-alonso-massa-opposed-to-racing-in-the-dark/Mar 17th 2007 4:11PM
