Wassup Curt... haven't chatted with you in a while... What's the news on the new "F1"? With all the 12C talk, understandably, we haven't heard much on this new car.
DD ~ I think what Curt means (and I'm speculating here), is that when F1 cars reach a certain "age" their tech/secrets become obsolete... that's when they become 'available' rich folks and VIPs (and not as risk of other teams buying it for their secrets). I'm guessing thats what he means cuz I've seen Ferrari vids where they have some rich guy buy an old Schumi F1 car and drive it around the Maranello track (complete with a team of Ferrari mechanics). Having said that, I don't think I've seen someone buy a McLaren MP4-XX...
Anyway, Eau Rouge is probably in the top 5 corners for a lot of people... But I think (and I'm not certain) they've made the tarmac grippier over the past few years, so it's not as "on the edge" as it used to be. Less of a thrill for some folks I suppose, but for me, it's still one of my favs.
Forgot to post this vid...
