In the Cart race at Mid Ohio, did the leading Renenske's of de Ferran and Castroneves get airborne in the latter part of the 'madness' section? Or were they just getting light enough to rev the engine...looked to me like at least the front tires where leaving the ground... -- dave henrie Free the ICR2 source code!
I noticed a couple other cars doing that, especially in qualifying. (why they aired the qualifying at 12am....) Though, I was really impressed with Montoya's car control during qualifying...did anyone else see it? They had an on-board short while he went through the 'madness' section and was doing opposite lock the whole way. Though it isn't the best, or fastest, way through there...he put on quite a show. What I don't get is how the Renske's were able to brake that much later than anyone else. Rece Davis asked de Ferran about the claims of them using undertray wings (explain that one?) to help under braking...and he totally avoided the question :) Though, they drove a very good race, and it's great to see Penske back. -Adam Zerlin Dave Henrie <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:W63m5.96481$[email hidden]... > In the Cart race at Mid Ohio, did the leading Renenske's of de Ferranand > Castroneves get airborne in the latter part of the 'madness' section?

They get very light in that portion of the circuit, so I'm pretty sure that if you get the most speed out of the corner before the section you will indeed probably have a wheel or two at the front in the air a little. Just imagine us doing that with the new game engine in CART2 ;-) -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... -- http://www.WeRace.net -- People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.

What suprised me is how bumpy the circuit is. After watching a lot of incar footage and front car footage for lack of a better word for it. Mid Ohio also seem very very bumpy. Dave
