LRGP Press Release

I don't get sent Team Lotus press releases now, I think they've stopped and just update their own website.

Day 2 & 3

[gtornes78]

Vitaly P2 today @ 1:23.463

Trulli P6 @ 1:25.454

Times still don't really mean anything though, as none of the top teams are likely to show their hand yet.

News from Day 4

Psst, yesterday!

They're all at home now! It was oil on the track that caused him to crash from what I read, they weren't sure if it was from his car or another.

You think Lotus have been going through the old Bond technical sketches?!

They're back!

Day 2

Burnie's Flying Circus, seses.

If your with a predefined distance of the car in front at a predesignated point on the circuit, you might be able to pull a lever to help pass, assuming he's not blocking and you're going to run right up up his rear end. This is along with operating 16 other buttons on the steering wheel, having a polite chat with your pitt crew and scratching you left nostril.

I'd say wake me up when we get back to some racing, but I'm 60.
