Is it possible to cheat like Schumacher did in 1994?
I want my car closer to the ground, have launch control...etc.

Turn on Steering Help and Throttle Help - that's close enough to
cheating, though no doubt someone will soon bring out a patch to
replace the plank with titanium, so you can drag it all the way round
the track.

However, Schumi still got disqualified at Spa for wearing the plank
out, so that bit of cheating didn't work! <g>

Actually, my wayward friend, Schumi wasn't cheating.  He spun over a
kerb, and this caused the illegal plank wear.  He was disqualified just
to make the championship more interesting, and it kinda did.

        Hey, macarena!

Hmm, one little spin causing all that plank wear? I don't think so.
The ride height was set so low that they knew the plank would get worn
some.

Benetton weren't cheating though. They were taking a calculated gamble
as allowed by the rules. If Schuy had stayed on the track, the plank
wouldn't have worn quite enough to be disqualified.

They gambled and lost.

Cheers,
Richard

Have you got proof for this? Anyway this is the kind of discussion that
goes on in the f1 newsgroup, not here...
