Not meaning to derail the thread, but I figure there are plenty of US Formula 1 fans in here. Like so many US F1 fans, we've been wanting to get our hands on the DVD or BluRay of the movie "Senna" that will play in a US Dvd player. I wanted to share that the Senna documentary is available on Netflix right now under "watch instantly". One month free trial so If you its free to watch if you cancel before one month.
My fiance and I watched it last night. I've been a F1 fan since I was a kid in the late 80's and watching the movie was like stepping into a time machine. Throughout the whole movie I was only hoping somehow the ending would be different this time. We both loved the movie but agreed it was so powerful, it would be some time before we watched it again.

We here in Holland where so lucky to see it on TV after the last GP.
It was indeed a blast from the past with the cars and so on.
They should go back to those cars.
Straight body, just front and rear wings, wider cars and tires so the mechanical grip is bigger and overtaking is easier.
Not like you have now with the small wings and all sort of extra winglets gurneys,diffusers and so on.
If the cars are on one line after another they have to much trouble because of all the vacume the spoilers are creating.

So the F1 mains are 10min long? Very cool. I wonder if the drivers get a bit tired after the race.

I picked up a set of the F104 front and rear wing sets from 3Racing. The rear is nice and straight, it even has a diffuser. The front wing however is extremely warped. Do I dip it in boiling water or use a heat gun to straighten it out? What other remedies for warped plastic parts have worked for you?
Gotta do that after your race.
