[QUOTE="sterling^moss, post: 865550, member: 1281"] hmm...think i've learnt a lesson today. even though it's the opposite of wat i've studied. hehe..coz all the while i was told that more surface of contact = more grip. that's y FIA started to groove tyre to reduce cornering speed coz less surface of contact than full slicks. as for the water & sand. yes they do appear on the race tracks, remember trulil's qualyfying lap at monaco after ralf's shunt? the marshals poured sands on the track to clean the oil spills. & the track at the swimming pool area was so tight, but trulli still took the normal racing line albeit at a slightly lower speed (around 70km/h). as for the water. we saw what happened at spa a fortnight ago didn't we? but still, michelin's dry tyres can still cope with a bit of drizzle. as for the compound. for a fresh track like istanbul, there were literally oil on the surface, coz the track was really green, so the teams sent out the 3rd car out on fridays, yet their times were still respectable. that brings to another question. wat kinda tyres do they use when they're on the roadshow?? ie. renault @ turkey, sauber @ malaysia, bmw williams @ sydney bridge, some teams @ london downtown last year etc. if they use their normal competition tyres, how come they can still cope with the surface? dun 4get that the cars were running quite aggresively at the mini circuit @ london. edit : nearly 4got abt the center of gravity. yes i'm not so silly to 4get abt that. but how much steering input would u need on a highway? we're talking abt travelling straight at a constant speed here.
