dezz Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 The barrier is pretty much in the worst possible place, but it's where it needs to be to create the run off and define that part of the track. The bumpy braking zone is definitely the problem but I agree with sav man, its not supposed to be easy. IMO make the barrier as effective as possible at absorbing impact and leave those bump strips out of the inside of the chicane to stop cars getting airborne Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/344495-2011-f1-thread/page/76/#findComment-5843837 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galois Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I like Brundle and Coulthard. They bring intimate knowledge of driving, the tracks and the rules for some good commentary. It must be annoying for them to have to constantly cater to the newest f1 fans though when it comes to explaining things. Monaco track seems to have not only bumps but things like manhole covers and drains (or things that look like them) all over it. Imagine trying to brake under 4-5 G's then sliding across them. It's a prestigious track but it begs for some big crashes.

Beer Baron Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Brundle has been losing his shit for a while now. Rambles on all the time and misses some of the most blatantly obvious stuff. Can see him being phased out soon areed. in the massa (or perez) crash he kept going on about the right rear wheel not being held by the tethers in the crash. I immediately saw it was the left front TYRE that had come flying down (as evidenced by the left front wheel hanging of the car sans tyre) not the right rear wheel and tyre. sure enough when they lifted the car up, 4 wheels attached, only 3 tyres. with all the footage and info they have how do they so constantly stuff things up. he was all excited about pointing out a tether failure which didn't happen. the tyre burst off the rime which was probably more interesting anyway... maybe he feels without murray walker there talking nonsense it's his turn to be the old fool...

Beer Baron Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 It's part of the charicter of the track, doing stuff like that is how we end up with tilk tracks. It's the most prestigious race to win, it's not meant to be easy. Being a temp street circuit it would probably be easier to move the barrier anyway. agreed. leave it alone. if 20 out of 22 drivers can manage going over it probably 150 times per race meet and the other 2 go over it 100 times but fk it up once that tells me it's fine as it is. smoothing shit out removes character. sure the tracks have to be driveable but they don't have to be easy. what if they removed what was left of the dipper at bathurst or what about the top of eau rogue where you turn into radillon? that's a crest and car gets light and tries to spit you off. that's what makes tracks interesting.

hrd-hr30 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 It's part of the charicter of the track, doing stuff like that is how we end up with tilk tracks. didn't they say that part of the track had recently been resurfaced and the bump was now worse?

sh@un Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 That bump in the road that they hit just as they enter the braking zone seems to be the cause of all the problems. It's much smoother in GT5 ^_^ But the ripple-strips at the Pool chicane are hideously violent =[ Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/344495-2011-f1-thread/page/76/#findComment-5844281 Share on other sites More sharing options...
