Autoblog has reported that there will be no Grid Girls at the 2015 World Endurance Championship.

What do you think?

Personally, I don't really see a need for Grid Girls and they're a little tacky. I'm an avid MotoGP follower and I feel that their presence on the grid just seems a little strange.

I hope this is a PranK !

Haha... I see what you did there...

I wonder what the driving force behind this change is?

If it's feminism, which most likely is, and I'm with you PranK on not really needing them as it is mostly about the cars. But what's next? The Environment is up there in the hot-topic list with Feminism... will this open the gates for EPA governed motorsport?

Watch this space.

This is so sexist! I can't believe men are stopping women from being apart of motorsport.

I think all women should go braless or topless to show these men that they can not and will not tell you what you can and can't do!

About time. It's a totally pointless idea.

If you want to look at chicks try the internet. Apparently there are sites out there with chick pics. Some of them don't even have clothes on.

But are they anywhere near a car?

google says there are approx. 69,600,000 choices for "naked girl near car". I've clicked through the first hundred few hits, just for research purposes, of course.

Try telling me this site doesn't provide a public service!!

Those poor Grid Girls missing out on potential income. Then the Feminists complain that women are still earning less money than men.

Lose/Lose

Exactly. Especially with motogp, if the teams are going to pay someone to stand there holding an umbrella then they might as well pay someone who's easy on the eye.

You can go on about how tacky it is, etc, but the teams are also in the marketing business and having promo girls would generate more merchandise sales than some sweaty fat bloke with a beard.

I don't see the problem with it at all, it's entertainment, what next? taking the cheerleaders away from the footy? ha! good luck

But then again we live in a time where everyone is offended by everything ever, even if they have no involvement with it at all

Aren't a lot of the MotoGP "Grid Girls" wives or significant others of the riders in a lot of cases?

      I just finished up a manual swap and I have a 1999 S2 AWD automatic in my garage, depending on where you are located. I'm in the the midwest of the US.

      R33 GTR N1 REO on an r32 ?

      By r32-25t · Posted

      I’ve heard it can be done, you need to redrill the holes where they bolt to the chassis and apart from that they are the same. I’ve never done it or know anyone personally that has, it’s just something I’ve heard

      If it's reading full rich prior to a misfire that gives one directional hint, if it's already reading lean, etc. If it's reading pretty cleanly stoichiometric then suddenly drops out from a misfire that suggests it's not air mass estimation that's the problem. Could be ignition, could be something more subtle. Could be the CAS has decided to start dropping out at random or the drive pin is worn leading to excessive lash and trigger errors. LTFT can tell you the same but it's slower to react and if this is a recent issue it might not have stabilized. STFT stuck in one direction vs fluctuating back and forth can be used instead but I like to read O2 voltages anyways and interpret directly. If the O2 voltages make no sense in general or are super slow to react it could also be a failing O2 sensor. There's no real error correction for failing O2 sensors in these cars.

      How will O2 sensor voltages help to identify it when it is sputtering?

      What do LTFTs look like? What do MAF voltages look like? O2 sensor voltages/AFRs? Knowing O2 voltages especially when it sputters would help a lot.
