Pink has been used before. It was before my time but I do think it's the reason Tron's bronze cars didn't break the record for the most flak generated by a colour.

yeah it was matte pink

Oh, yeah, despite voting for the 29th, I'll be missing the 1st race of the season, because I'm going to see Whitesnake

I hear some other band called, um, what is it? Trip? Yeah, Trip will be there too. No wait, not Trip. Journey. They probably too.

Anyway, Furball, it's clear which of your choices is faster - you've got the NSX miles further off the ground, which automatically makes it the best

Whilst this is true, the Nsx is the quickest choice so far I feel the extra height was because of being a bit too brave with the amount of kerb I took through the last corner!

Oddly enough the Elise didn't need any kerb to get some air on that corner.

surprised you havent commented yet on one of the cars in the GT6 trailer or maybe you have keeled over with excitement

[FurballS2000]

I see your Elise and I raise you(literally) a Nsx...

Looks like they were up to about 7 metres

[RacerMPower]

I remember that airborne M5 moment. I was just praying it wouldn’t land on my car.

Tron was clearly being kind on that day.

[Alfanatic]

So what's the full story there?

[Allaloneatron]

Sydney and I could not see each other but we were both on everyone elses screens. When we shared a patch of road GT5 freaked out. We knew nothing about it.

[Alfanatic]

OK, so it was a GT5 epic fail, not a driver's spectacular misadventure?

maybe both?

emails sent to all the panellists but as ive said can you keep your roles private please as it gives this idea the best chance of working

[CJ1987]

update to the rules regarding ballast/late braking moves also can we move chat here please as this is now the active thread

[McSam]

Glad to see the actual rules on ballast finally written down so nobody is unclear.

Clarification of how you can and can't go about achieving overlap also good

I'd like to see something about safe rejoining, ie. ensuring you do not rejoin the track in a way that impedes drivers still on it. This includes from the pits and recovering from incidents - it hasn't been a big issue in races (though it has in practice and qualifying!), but might be worth writing down in the interests of avoiding "hidden rules". Perhaps with a note about not pissing around on track during qualifying time too.

Otherwise I'm sure we're fine and there's plenty for a sensible panel to run with.

Anybody been practicing at Monaco yet? I'll let someone else post a time first for obvious reasons....
