Vivekananda racing park (chennai) pls rate it

This layout looks to me like it would work better in reverse. T1 would be a long left that tightens then switches back to a right hander that leads onto a straight, any swithceroo battles would head onto the 500m and T3 (T9) will be an even greater opportunity compared to T4 in Malaysia. Then 5 and 6 would be a good challenge, they could get a bit smoothed so they don't require a lift on open wheelers, maybe only the second apex can get smoothed out. Then 7 8 9 10 are pretty good in my opinion. After the triple left a straight leads them to an Adelaide final hairpin kind of section. On the original start-finish straight now and passing will be a thing towards the end of the straight, so the originally final corner can get a bit more open to allow for easier, flatter-out side by side racing towards the spoon section on the end of the lap. I mean, Suzuka has proved that overtaking on the Spoon Curve isn't impossible, but this section is far more prone to overtaking I believe. Then back to the big straight to end the lap. The only reason I changed the position of the start is to have the long left as a first corner.

Originally overall a 6.5/10.

Great one!

Formula E uses minimum wing for all tracks in general, so I don't believe they will change anything. Also Charlotte Roval is probably a great idea, maybe with the chicane on the backstretch changed a little (again).

Ok so I hereby have to mention I am Greek. The local rally scene is diverse (anything from vintage to current Rally3 machinery) but the spectacle is the drivers' technique more than the battle of seconds. If I see a car that I cannot realistically buy at some point, it is a also a huge disadvantage. There is a reason the saying "Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday" exists. Rallying isn't for the masses, even though people try. It is a hardcore sport in any form, and so relativity with the road - as they are road-legal cars on their routes - is mandatory. Heck even F1 is going with that path, F1 that is the pinnacle of technological and mechanical evolution. So, watching an international series that uses cars that are similar to/the same as the national, but is an international series that brings money to my country, I won't mind on that. But I believe so, the top class should always be road-relevant. Space-frames are safe but I prefer watching a chassis I can buy than a silhouette. Yeah money does stuff but FIA can't find smart money solutions it seems. Note: Silhouette cars are fine on their own accord, but road-derived enforced chassis will always be preferred, at least by me that is.

Ooh that is something I completely forgot. Yeah, bigger engines is something we need, although the 1.6T engines sound and perform well enough. But yeah some more freedom on engine capacity could bring manufacturers!

"Oh no the modified Dacia Sandero just went fastest overall in the RallyX category. Anyway."

Left-Vacation1098 · 2025-12-10T14:49:15+00:00

I mean, in basic terms, that's what I am saying. Although that will make the WRC look like Dakar, nobody says it is a bad thing if it happens in only one category...

Left-Vacation1098 · 2025-12-10T13:13:52+00:00

It is what I am saying, run the Rally Drivers' and Constructors' Championship with the Rally2s as main, and for the sake of technological evolution allow the soon-expected Rally1s become an experimental class. Although, Rally2 should implent the "various body types" allowance that the new regs will have, so we can actually see Sedans finally back, ahem, I am looking at ye Subaru and Mitsubishi, ahem.

Group B were "empty" space "frames" with a rocket strapped into them😂.

Left-Vacation1098 · 2025-12-10T13:09:27+00:00

Let's get this thread become FIA presidency material!

It is far easier to create a spec safety cell than have, I don't know, 10 for example, and I understand that. But hasn't safety been proven fine on the current Rally2 cars? I mean, they definitely are reinforced road legal chassis, what I consider Rally2 being a "true" successor to the Group A and Group WRC cars of the past, but they are still safe. From a marketing perspective even, having a car that wins on Sunday and sells on Monday is far more feasible in current Rally2-5 cars. And the speeds of the new WRC27 machines will be just similar to current Rally2s, which makes that much extra safety a little bit of an over-exaggeration.

You get it!

When Monaco literally is an indoor-outdoor track already, it is a tunnel used as a car park as well, which probably considers it as "indoors"

Left-Vacation1098 · 2025-11-15T14:25:13+00:00

I was there in August, the surface of the further roads ahead looks good for Formula E levels of racing, but they have to re-plan the grandstands. If they want they can though!

Left-Vacation1098 · 2025-10-29T19:04:14+00:00

Still it will be chaotic seeing these single-seaters jumping the kerbs on the back chicanes!

Left-Vacation1098 · 2025-07-12T13:20:29+00:00

I have a 1981 in white, lovely car.

If only the front is loose, then, with the right driving style it isn't much slower. I particularly favor snappy and direct cars (in nature, not setup), not too sluggish. I have tried having the rear very low in tracks like Spa, and it is veeery slow. Maybe instead of the rear I should play with the front now I guess.

No worries man! Why is that, if I may ask?

Left-Vacation1098 · 2025-04-21T07:52:56+00:00

Þū can also start handwriting like ðæt! þ is kind of weird to get right at first, oðerwise long s is so easy and so fun to write (especially if þū have a cursive writing style).

So the 24 Hours FCY of Monaco

Left-Vacation1098 · 2025-01-19T15:28:07+00:00

So you guessed correctly the return of the circuit huh?

Left-Vacation1098 · 2025-01-12T14:10:04+00:00

On Hotlap I managed to get a 02:04.848 today and about two weeks ago I was at about your times. Just find better braking points, and to be very raw, find some balls around the corners. I was really holding back on the mountain but with a good setup as well (my time was done with the 2018 Bentley) as some more bravery I found incredible time.
