I would probably think its best we all keep within the guidelines of the track and to that of the racing line if people can do so and know it, Its always nice to have a fair competition between us, so to keep it clean and such, no shortcuts of any kind?

I'd hate to think of the state of the blazing stallion, vomit... old barrels of beer and cider all of the place... ewwww... someone needs to get the landlord licence for it... I vote Redders!! :P
Tis been a great 5 years with the F1PU, although i've been here for the ooooohhhhh, 4 and lil bit years of the 5, I'm proud to see what this union has done and I can only hope that we go from stength to strength, Congrats to all the members that have made this possible and Redders who has lead us forward :)
Here's to another 5 years :)
McLaren break rules and get a £100,000,000 Fine, Ferrari break rules, and its £65,000 fine.... WTF? Alright different breaking of rules etc, but this is just... ridiculous
Cars can pick up the tow say a good 50m away from the cars I'm guessing KA? But for the pushing of the air against another car you'd have to be a a car length behind to get the full effect of the tow this creates the low pressure and in effect as explained pushing the pressurized mass of air against the car ahead giving an extra 3-5kmh to the car in front, This shows in Indy cars and NASCAR especially since they race round ovals and do this lap after lap.
Least... this is my understand of Dabest's question :P
KA would be best to explain this, but my understanding is because you share the wind resistance between the two or more cars, best example to use is look at NASCAR's on a Super speedway such as Daytona or Talledega, and watch how they line up in say groups of 6-8 cars and they will go faster than the others around the lap by a good 5-10mph faster.
I can't explain the exact details of this though, KA best one for that :P
I know it should of been done from race 1, and since I've been reminded of my task for GP weekends, I shall now follow suit with this.
Kip's GP History, Round 14, Italian GP 2010
In the past, we've seen some real corkers around this circuit, Derek Warwick taking a tumble in 1992 coming out the parabolica, Hill spinning in 1996 to stop himself winning the title, Montoya's Fastest lap ever in 2004, the epic rains of 2008 which saw the Toro Rosso team, formerly as Minardi actually win a Grand Prix at the hands of Sebastian Vettel to show he had true talent to win at a top level, and 2009 where Barrichello showed the world at still a old age in F1 terms, he can still beat the younger guys when it counts.
This years race looks set to be McLaren's to lose, they've often been strong here as well, but don't ever count out the Ferrari's with the tifosi wanting a 1-2 finish from the scuderia, and Red bull wanting to have damage limitation, from here, if another set of DNF's come from, Alonso, Button and Vettel, it does look set to be a 2 horse race, but with the way the points system is shaking up, who knows what could happen, but with the end of the season getting ever nearer, and DNF is more and more dangerous, losing 25 points to your nearest title rival can be disasterous.
I look forward to clean racing, and hopefully another historic race I can add to the potofolio for next years race :)
