Autoblog has reported that there will be no Grid Girls at the 2015 World Endurance Championship.

What do you think?

Personally, I don't really see a need for Grid Girls and they're a little tacky. I'm an avid MotoGP follower and I feel that their presence on the grid just seems a little strange.

I hope this is a PranK !

Haha... I see what you did there...

I wonder what the driving force behind this change is?

If it's feminism, which most likely is, and I'm with you PranK on not really needing them as it is mostly about the cars. But what's next? The Environment is up there in the hot-topic list with Feminism... will this open the gates for EPA governed motorsport?

Watch this space.

This is so sexist! I can't believe men are stopping women from being apart of motorsport.

I think all women should go braless or topless to show these men that they can not and will not tell you what you can and can't do!

About time. It's a totally pointless idea.

If you want to look at chicks try the internet. Apparently there are sites out there with chick pics. Some of them don't even have clothes on.

But are they anywhere near a car?

google says there are approx. 69,600,000 choices for "naked girl near car". I've clicked through the first hundred few hits, just for research purposes, of course.

Try telling me this site doesn't provide a public service!!

Those poor Grid Girls missing out on potential income. Then the Feminists complain that women are still earning less money than men.

Lose/Lose

Exactly. Especially with motogp, if the teams are going to pay someone to stand there holding an umbrella then they might as well pay someone who's easy on the eye.

You can go on about how tacky it is, etc, but the teams are also in the marketing business and having promo girls would generate more merchandise sales than some sweaty fat bloke with a beard.

I don't see the problem with it at all, it's entertainment, what next? taking the cheerleaders away from the footy? ha! good luck

But then again we live in a time where everyone is offended by everything ever, even if they have no involvement with it at all

Aren't a lot of the MotoGP "Grid Girls" wives or significant others of the riders in a lot of cases?

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
