F1 imposes DRS ban at Spa's famous Eau Rouge corner

Post by campbell » Tue Aug 23, 2011 11:45 am

Build up to season re-start continues...

Well I guess better that than the drivers take it one-handed to open their F-duct!

It's crazy enough through there with 147bhp in the wet...

Makes sense i suppose.

Only affects qualifying anyway, the DRS zone will be after Eau Rouge on Kemmel straight.

Keep your hair on Stirling

Actually nearly came over to see you tonight Neil, James helped me change my rear disks and pads, and what a fine job he's done too! Out for a shakedown on our fave loop towards Armadale though.

Let the drivers decide. Eau rouge is probably the most iconic corner in F1(IMHO) it should be made exciting again for the drivers.. And spectators
S1 Elise - Shed spec
330d - Dog carrying spec
640d - Grown up spec
Astravan Sportive SE - Supervan spec
