Then not only is it man and machine against man and machine, but man and machine against track. After all if you don't get that feeling that you get when you're leaning back in a chair and go a little too far every lap, then why are you even wasting tires and gas? Liked it the way it was, sure it will be fine new and "improved", but it will take a while to build it's true character again.  |
LRP is a beautiful track for sure. I've been there as a spectator countless times and it's almost ideal for spectators, but I've also been there twice as a competitor and it was real scary. That's partially because I can't afford to crash my car but I also feared for my safety. If that makes me a wuss them I'm a wuss, but it's possible to enjoy speed without enjoying danger. I don't enjoy danger and to me it seems strange to enjoy danger, especially since I became a parent.
LRP is unsuitable for Indy cars or F1 for a variety of reasons, but even if they fixed all the other problems they would still need to make it safer to attract F1. I guess F1 drivers are wussies too?
