I was just thinking how the real F1 has become like an arcade game. Traction
control, automatic trans, Do they also have Anti lock brakes?. Pretty soon
They will not even need the drivers and it will finally be the type of
racing the engineers want. Maybe in the next F1 game they will options to
turn off all the driving aids.

This could be a reason why young drivers with next to no car racing
experience can step up to the plate and have instant success. I'll bet
it is because the cars are so easy to drive. Like, come on, young kids
with ONLY 20 car races under their belt jumps into F1 and has instant
success while their previous race car only had 200 or so horsepower and
then jumping into a 800+hp f1 car? Something is wrong.
I think some teams are using a form of ABS.
One good thing is they are getting rid of powersteering, that is a good
sign. Guess some of them skinny F1 drivers could have their handsfull
for a full length GP. With all the downforce generated by the car it
couldn't be too easy to steer.

The best race car drivers in the world are F1 drivers. Only NASCAR fans
don't believe that (actually they do, they just refuse to admit it).

F1 drivers come from a world wide talent pool of 6 billion people.

NASCAR drivers come from one region (south) of one country. I guess if you
believe NASCAR drivers are talented, then there must be something really
special in the water down there.

NASCAR sims are easy and very boring. Turning left is hardly a great skill.

Well I can think of a couple of million RALLY fans that will beg to
differ. :)
all drivers do....it's where the opportunities lay that matters
Damn! Better tell Jeff Gordon and Tony stewart and Dave Blaney etc etc
that they
cain't drive Winston Cup..Cuz they wazzn't born down there.
skill.
true so true if all you do is hotlapping...most F1 drivers might have a
heart attack if
they had to race for 3-4 hours with 30+ cars in the lead pack tho.

How do you know how easy they are to drive?

Why do you think 'some teams are using a form of ABS'? If you ever watched
a race you'd see brake lockups all the time. Which teams? 'Form of ABS'?

Sounds like you're talking crap, Alan.

I didn't hear anyone compare to Nascar, My posted stated that F1 has taken
the driver out of the equation. May as well have the engineers up there with
the Champagne after they win a race.

Since DGF mentions F1 has a worldwide talent pool, I've got question, has
there ever been a native African(s) to drive in F1?

I'd be willing to guess that a South African or two has raced F1..

Is this guy ever going to let it go?? phew!!! Talk about beating a dead
horse!
David F we know you "opinons" about F1 so take a chill pill or some prozac
will ya? Jeeez...
Btw: I wonder where David F got the 'all-mighty' info that detailed this?
"The
best race car drivers in the world are F1 drivers" &!! "F1 drivers come from
a world wide talent pool of 6 billion people." I'd love to hear all the so
called
expert info with true backup on these comments! hahahahaha!! Do you think
maybe Meir Shetreet will drive F1 next? huh? huh? OMG this is too funny!
Cheers Thom_j.

Well some teams were using launch control until they were found out.

So you're 100% sure there's no cheating going on now then??

www.forix.com lists (click "countries" in the "drivers" section in the main
page) 2 Moroccan, 4 Rhodesian and 19 South African drivers. One of the South
Africans, of course, is a world champion.

Are you including the Chinese in that figure? Exactly how many Chinese
F1 drivers are there? :)

The problem is, they do nothing.
