Monterey = Laguna Seca -
They were all smoking crack to think they would beat the bike, I sure thought the E-van would go faster that it did but it still hauled azz.
I had a friend that went from BMX racing to Drag bikes, his bike was CRAZY fast and he was 100% nuts, it was a good combination. -
I was at the San Jose Champ Car race years back with my friend Beardog (R.I.P.). The Champ cars were running around practicing when all of sudden I heard something much different on the track and immediately recognized the sound of a V12 F1 car. It really made the Champ cars look and sound less than. The F1 car was there as a promo.Political Correctness'.........defined

Eh, to each his own.
I like CART sound and despite being considered "backwoods American" because CART did high speed ovals, they were still extremely technologically advanced cars. Back then aero was a thing in F1 but people talked about the supposed "urban legend" that an F1 car could drive upside down. F1 denied it but nobody ever asked CART and a Champ Car produced twice as much downforce as the cars weighed so given adequate run up to get enough speed to create that downforce, a Champ Car could drive successfully on an inverted track.
But, it also made them dangerous because a CART car could pull over 5.5G's in a turn and there was a big deal at a race where CART cars were running the 1.5 mile oval at Texas Speedway at over 230 MPH and pulling 5.5+ G's making drivers have issues with equilibrium, vision and reaction times. That was a big deal.

Especially when they were breaking 240 MPH at Indy that same year.Expert Moron Extraordinaire
You're just jealous 'cause the voices don't talk to you! -
Oh, also, Laguna Seca is in Monterey County, California which is where Monterey, California is.
Laguna Seca Raceway is where the Monterey Grand Prix is held. It was one of the marquee races of the CART schedule being the premier road course event for CART like the Indy 500 was the premier circle track event for CART. The Monterey Grand Prix was CART's Monaco.
The Monterey Grand Prix is still held and IndyCar is the sanctioning body behind it now.Expert Moron Extraordinaire

I wonder how they'd fare on a road course.....
If they were to mix in some turns, the F1 car would eat the motorcycle’s lunch - it wouldn’t even be close. The F1 has TONS (literally) of downforce, and a HUGE advantage in tire/pavement contact area…“Human beings are born with different capacities. If they are free, they are not equal. And if they are equal, they are not free.”

There's a video out showing exactly that.
Edit: Here it is.

That was an amazing video, ENJOYED it. Loved the banter between the two racers, the antics, the fun.....
I was impressed by how much carbon fiber was on the F1, it looked like the entire front end was made up of carbon fiber.
It brought back some memories for sure. I even noticed something I don't believe anyone else would unless they've experienced it. When Guy had David start the bike, Guy covered the rear wheel with his boot, and again when David revved it. When the bike is cold and on the stands with the tire warmers in place, even in neutral, the primary gear will rotate the chain. Best case scenario, the warmer plug will pull out of the socket, worse case (happened to me) the electrical cord will break. Easy enough fix, just wired it back together.
And without sounding too forward, I think I'd have done better on the brake test. Guy spoke of modulating the brake lever to keep the rear wheel from coming up too far to keep from getting spit over the top....nah. I once had a fellow racer tell me after a race that I should put my sponsor decals under my bike, he saw what Kind of shock I was running when I passed him on the brakes

The entire body skin is carbon fiber as are the suspension parts, seat, wing, etc.I was impressed by how much carbon fiber was on the F1, it looked like the entire front end was made up of carbon fiber.Political Correctness'.........defined

I forgot what year it was, but some of the F1BMW qualifying engines were producing approx 1300 hp. They were only good for qualifying for 1 lap as they wouldn't last at that power output.
OK. I found the article: https://www.racefans.net/2020/04/14/f1-most-powerful-car-brabham-bmw-turbo-1400-bho/

When I saw Frédéric Vasseur today, I thought Ron Dennis had sold McClaren and took a job with Ferrari.

Yes he is, Ferrari can’t seem to hire a competent strategist to save their lives

I agree it’s a big mistake for Lewis to leave Merc. They’re finally getting their act together and now he’s leaving for a team who hasn’t done anything in 15 years.
