Re: F22
Not sure anyone knows for sure hence the Question Mark, I mean all the Ground Gear has only turned up over the weekend.. A lot of C17s to get it all here , A lot of logistical work for only 1 week but as it was a Rapid Deployment i guess it is all very fluid on how long they need to be here for. Onl...

Re: RIAT 25 Sunday Schedule - Any Ideas?
I have always turned up around 7-8am and unless you literally want to be a fence monkey all day and be at the front then i don't see the need to be there at like 4am, but many people will. Guess it just depends on what you want to get out of the day,I gave up taking the camera in on the weekend and ...

Re: F1 2025
Whatever happens, anything has got to be better than last week!!!. My daughter loved the qualifying!!. Which team does she drive with. . ;) Just an opinion, F1 has become a farce, not racing at all. I thought this season would be pretty special as the regulations have been the same for so many year...

Re: F1 2025
What happened to Max; I actually bought a 'red-top' for the first time hoping to read about the last ten laps? I'd left the house to do my Sunday shopping before they shut- Max was leading, radio was speculating he was hoping for a red-flag moment during which he'd do his second tyre-change- nowt i...

Re: F1 2025
I quite like the Indy car Method where Tyres are not in heat covers at all so takes a couple of laps for the cars to get up to full speed with such cold tyres, Makes the Undercut/Overcut harder as you have the variable of driver outlap on cold tyres. They also have this "push to Pass" , A button in ...

This has been on the cards for a while was my understanding , Congress Blocked any early strike eagle models being retired as the F15E is the most request FJ for tasking evidently. Also read that they is a decent size investment to upgrade the Eagles to soldier on. I find it amazing that the USA has...

Re: F1 2025
Was reading an article by an aerodynamicist: He said the track is so twisty and slow, the car (specifically the front and rear wing) start to work against the driver because of insufficient airflow, would be better to take them off completely to save weight!!!
