I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

Is there any reason to DVR the practice sessions? I watched one and didn't think it was anything special, but I used to think that about qualifying and now I enjoy watching qualifying. Not sure if I'm missing something.

I'm on my University's Formula Hybrid team, we took our car to the Dyno yesterday and blew the welds on the intake manifold F&F style. Good times.

Going to have to watch late tomorrow evening. Teaching teens to control their car tomorrow with the BMW Club.
Looks like it's going to be good.

Its definitely a see what breaks kind of operation, our car goes back on the dyno monday with a new intake system, and hopefully the front suspension will be on this time.
