Somebody school me on formula 1 tires... why the tall sidewalls? In street tires, the more extreme, the lower the profile. Shorter sidewalls, less flex, more cornering traction... Seems like in anything except F1, the tires are very low profile.

I think that if you remove some of the rediculous rules, you would then reduce the R&D exspedatures for some of the smaller teams. Ferrari, Willaims and McLearn would still spend 100million per season, but a Sauber or Minardi would at least be able to be on the lead lap when the checkered flag drops...
I woul git rid of those hidious canards on the uprights! They look like Zirg! |
