MY GOD did anyone see what happened. The USGP started SIX CARS. All Michilin tired cars took a warm up lap then parked.

Probably the death of a USGP for a few years.



Sheesh and some people say that the SCCA and NASCRAP is a political mess.....

I personally would still put the blame on Michelin. AFAIC, they didn't do enough testing to bring the right tires.

As Peter Windsor said, even if FIA would allow the chicane and let the Michelin teams run w/o earning points, it's not fair to the B'stone teams. What happens when B'stone is having problems, ask FIA to alter something to their favor?

I know the teams pulled out in the name of safety of their drivers, but they could've done something about it. I liked the idea of running through the pit lane for the Michelin teams. Or pit every other lap or sumthin'. And to make sure the drivers don't try to actually race all out risking their lives, remind them they're not earning points. Just be out there. Granted it'll be lame, but I would rather see that, as bizarre as it sounds, than seeing 6 cars on the track.

I dunno, the whole thing is just complicated.

The FIA shoulders some blame for the idiotic one tire rule, but the majority falls on Michelin for coming with an unsafe tire

I never understood that rule. If they cared for safety, why only one set of tires? Whatever money they're saving is not worth it over the safety of the drivers.

Hope IRL don't pull anything funny when I see 'em at The Glen.
