CanadaGP

Post by Flow »

Some real news from Montreal GP. They completely took of and remake the vibe on the S neer pit where is the Wall written on it 'welcome to quebec' neer Casino. The AGPD ask to lower the vibe. The reason is that they cant move the river and cont move the Casino, so that S is pretty risky, but nothing to do about it up to now. The only thing is to make the vibe at S lower and safer to run on.

On local Tv, we saw interview with all driver. One comment from barhichello is (talking about his Honda car : 'Instead of having 10 improvment that doesnt work, why not just try to concentrate on 1 and make it work's, lol

Interviewer said that Montoya is the most boring men to interview, he dont seem to like thos thing... sorry, its part of you contract!

Kimi will have new and improve evolution engine for this weekend. Hope it will last the entire race.

This year is like a memorable race to see. Keke Rosberg and Gilles Villeneuve father's made an historical battle on track. Years after, its both son (Nico and jacques) that will meet on track. Symbolical, but fun to know.

Tomorow, Me and Xzwins and maybe Bilbo, we will assis to the day 1 of GP. Il try to sleep weel, Dam, 12hours left, will seem like 48h :?

Flow, don't forget we finally have some go-karting Friday night! :wink:

Also, I won't be able to go the GP this year. I could not win any of the tickets my employer had a draw for. This year, they decided to offer 2 pairs of tickets instead of 4 individual tickets, cutting my chances in half from the start. Also, since pairs of tickets were offered, more people participated in the draw. Anyways, I can't complain much since I went for free 5 times in the past 7-8 years... :?

What a day, yes, but WHAT A NIGHT... :twisted: Bilbo, Xzwins and me with few other friends, went doing some carting tonight. Hehe, now weight and strenght was in consideration, lol. Heavier guy than me (i was the lightest one :mrgreen: of all 10) were faster in corner than me, but on straight, i was right in the corner to take back, but oups, more corner than straight, gess who was faster than me, lol. It was so fun that we have to do it again this summer. Alot of fun fast close driving. Few of us even had accident,... :lol: 1 friends found that it was too fast and too bumpy that he 'puke' under his helmet, muahahaha, race is not ment for all, lol. Was realy fun. Sorry none of us had a cam, but next time, we will bring one for shure.

Thanks guys for the fun evening.

Yep, it was really a great night. Flow and Xz are quite fast in go-karts, faster than me at the very least (but I was always improving). The track itself (you can view the map HERE ) was quite technical but surprisingly bumpy at some places (the track has just been rebuilt for this season). Anyways, it was my first time at outdoor karting and I liked it very much, much more than cramped indoor carting (not to mention less fumes and all).

All in all, it was a very enjoyable experience and I'd like to thank Flow and Xz (and their friends) for the good moments!

What is fun on this track, is that they alow some contact, unless its not dangerous. Side by side in corner touching eatch other, pushing the other and no warning. Only if you crash another on purpose, then you get kick. Verry different from inside carting that on the single kiss contact, they show you a warning, they are too sissi.

Next time, we will bring back video's. We will do it again for shure in the summer.

As for today GP qualif session, Dam Vilneuve mist the SuperPole by +.018 on 11th position. From his morning time, he should of been able to qualif right after Kimi, in front of Honda's... to bad. But in second hand, he can change his setting if rain start before race. Temperature anounce is from 24 to 28C with 30% change of located rainstorm.

Today, while lunch, a fox cross the track and friday just in front of schumy a Mutter cross the track. Dame thing today, 1 cross just between 2 car. You can compare a mutter to a beaver for sizing... Wow, what kind of meat it would of done if a car woud crash into it, lol blood all over the car, hihi, but could be dangerous for driver. :?

The sound of the F1 is realy incredible, sometime your ear 'vibes'... outch. Tomorow, i will try to videotape most part of the race, especialy the 1st few laps. The smell of tire and consume fuel, the sounds, the sun (more sun means less closthe :roll: ) we mist all that in our NAR race, lol :wink:

Dang, I just got your message. I went upstairs for supper and decided to watch the Montreal Alouettes game on TV (Canadian football, not soccer!). Of course, my cell phone stayed downstairs besides my computer so I never heard it ringing. Thanks for the offer... :cry:

The problem of Villeneuve and Heidfeld this afternoon is that the temperature of track rise up so mutch degree and the tire where not acting good for both BMW driver. Possibility of rain, maybe some cloud, so more chance of getting good in race. When they were fast, its was under cloudy circompstance... to bad!

Dam its was fun between Masse, Villeneuve and Heidfeld, all ass in ass, but Villeneuve team took 1.5 sec slower than Heidfeld, so villeneuve went back of 3 and had to pass Ralf Schumaker that slow in corner to let villeneuve pass (right in front of us) and villeneuve had to put tire on a so mutch dirty tire residu outside of driving line and hit the wall hard... :? , i understand now why you cant drive anywhere you want, theyr so mutch residu of tire that its impossible to roll on, or your dead. I made a zoom in on my video, you will understand what i mean. He should avoid it also, he mistake, grrrr, was fun for his fan up to there.

Comon Kimi, shit, that was an open door to schumy on last lap :evil:

Was a great nice hot weekend. Now NAR Montreal race tonight!
