I didn't realize F1 cars did that. The only vehicles I've seen before that do that are jet aircraft and fighter planes.

You could clearly see vortices coming off of the wings of all of the cars on Saturday morning. There was enough moisture in the air to generate some pretty clear vortices spilling off of the rear wings. They would appear just prior to initiation of braking going into T12.

I think the NBC broadcasters would have said both cars must have leaks in the radiators.

Happens all the time off the rear wing of top fuel cars. Fun to watch.

You can see it happening at most of the high speed tracks like Spa, Monza and Malaysia.

All the good racing comes from overseas now, DTM, V8 Supercars, Supercups.
But I don`t get FS2 so now I get none of them, not even BTC. Blows.

I need an Adrian Newey designed Motorsports channel.

+1 Million. To quote Racer magazine: "Sunday's race was nothing but a high speed parade lap."
Almost as exciting too.
