Just mix in some phantom "debris on the race track" cautions and throw in a few green, white, checkered finishes as well. Oh wait, someone else is already doing that.

Your car looks great. 1 agro = 1 bumper. The back wheels/tires have the old RSR fitment. Real tight. Real mean.

Thanks! It's the work of Dan Jacobs' team and Julio Grosso restorations. These guys have paid tremendous attention to details... Car is pretty much new throughout now. And it doesn't run on the grass and dirt as well as it did before the rebuild... Too low now.

Bernie is still senile.

Wait..... You guys are against the fake rain idea? I think its brilliant!

The best races of the year are the wet races. Are you going to argue that the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve race was boring, or not fun to watch?

Top gear tried this in their first season to equalize the lap times but just ended up with randomly placed wet spots here and there... While this could make it more interesting at times, F1 races are (in general) not as fun to watch in the rain as they used to be

Wonder if he realizes how much it will cost and how difficult it will be to install these sprinklers and keep an entire track wet for 3 days?

No, he just wants to turn them on about half way through the race or towards the end. Sounds reasonable now doesn't it??
