Let's hope it doesn't, otherwise Peter Rodger will devalue himself. Fixed grip is just one of several perfectly valid steering methods. :P

Best wishes all,

Words fail me.

Let's think about this... how about a form of words along the lines of... "he's an idiot", will that do? :lol:


Fair point. The expression that first came to mind would have been automatically rendered into asterisks.

Btw, ask your Observer which racing drivers racing modern cars, across all Formulae, use PP.


Most racing drivers use PP to some extent - specifically when they get into their road car to go home after an event! On the track it would never work, unless you want to be off the track very quickly.
