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..... |

QUOTE (35th_Anniversary_AS_Camaro_SS @ Jun 22 2005, 16:08) I disagree with being able to add a chicane to the course. It is dangerous and adds liability. If you were Ferrari and you were paying Shumaker that kind of money would you want the additional risk of him getting injured from an added chicane? My solution would have been to have *all* the cars run on Bridgestone. FIA is already talking about 1 supplier, so what's the big deal with that? If Michelin didn't like that it's tough, they didn't bring a safe tire. ...this probably would have been a good compromise, but my guess that Bridgestone....who was prepared to support 6 cars....could NEVER have supplied all the teams with tires..... And for the record...I don't disagree with Ferrari running the race if that was what "had" to happen and no compromise was reached....basically what DID happen.....what I DO have a problem with Ferrari is if they were a BARRIER to working things out as it now seems as if they were..... If THAT is true....I can only HOPE that their crappy cars continue to underperform for YEARS to come....just like they did BEFORE King Schumacher.....
