six years too late...

I would've loved to See Schumi - TC + slicks against all the new guns...

No worries, you'll just watch Kimi this year when he owns the track

cant wait for some comparison times for each driver; traction control vs. no traction control.

should show who's the better driver.

[sav man]

webber may make a big comeback on slicks and no TC. hell even coulthard may shake up a few. but somehow I doubt all of what I've just said.

[hrd-hr30]

have they banned TC again? didn't they realise last time that it was impossible to police???

[Beer Baron]

lol, that's not traction control officer it's my pit lane speed limiter... *cough.

or that's not launch control, it's my traction control cutting it when I launch.... hehe.

[sav man]

they've got a universal ecu now, just like v8's and motec i assume.

Yep, made by MacLaren Electronics and Microsoft, a number of the teams have complained about it, as they are finding that the unit works in strange ways regarding sensors and the like. It is also shaped like a triangle with the points cut off (same case as the 07 MacLaren) and teams are finding it difficult to retrofit into the 07 chassis for testing.

No TC in 08 FTW!!! Helllll yes

some teams had "power reduction systems" etc when TC was last banned. and of course, ferrari infamously still had the TC code in their ECU. no way of proving it had been used though.

[Beer Baron]

yes that was another good one. sure we have TC, but I swear we don't use it... ahh, why are all the creative minds in F1.....

[sav man]

wasn't it Bennaton that still had the TC code. The ECU "didn't work" without the code.

yeah, you're probably right. It was definitely involving Schumey, so I just automatically though Ferrari...

[Duncan]

lol it was cheating so I assumed it was ferrari

[Kozeyekan]

Wow. Surprised it took until the 5th for the first ferreri bash of the year.

As for me, I'll be backing Heiki. I hope he gives Lewis a spanking.

Raikonnen for championship no. 2
