An interesting take on technology in Olympic sports - specifically cycling - and the Brits are at the forefront...just like in F1 production...

Thanks for posting Campbell - interesting read and a good comparison to the 'technology war' that goes on in F1.

Indeed. It's good to see the UK so strong on the engineering front.

I recall reading somewhere that the American Indy car series has much of it's engineering expertise based in the UK.

So, your concept of F1 at the Olympics, would that mean that the British team could use the best British drivers, engineers and technology? Surely that would be the dream team. 8)
