It's hard to keep up to date with the correct times with a busy weekend like this lol

Wow. Not a great look from Pirelli.

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 6 points 1 year ago

Hardly seems like it's Pirelli's fault that this track uses big spiky kerbs, right?

I liked their exploding ones the best

The famous Pirelli P Boom?

“Safety reasons” my ass. Pirelli just doesn’t want the bad look of their tires disintegrating because of the curbs.

I say let the drivers drive, and if they want to take the chance of running up on the curb, let them.

What will they find from a 10 minute practice session¿?

[-] sweetchildintime@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Very little. It's just to get the drivers familiar with the new track limits.

It's only to explore new track limits in T12
