Opinions
Wikipedia is a place for facts. You do not go around making major changes to articles based on opinions. If your opinion is backed up by say, popular support, then that's another thing altogether. But if I tell you, "F1 stands for Falafel 1," I am 100% wrong, and not matter what I say, my opinion on the matter is irrelevant. Readro's suggestion that F1 be separated from the world championship is NOT an idea that is mirrored by any other source. It his idea and his idea alone. This is not a place for rewriting history. So he can whine and whine and list justifications, but his opinion his nonetheless irrelevant because it is not a widely accepted opinion. It's not an insult, it's a fact. Eightball (talk) 16:21, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
- How would you have me source popular support? If you don't recognize that virtually everyone views "Formula One" as being synonymous with the world championship, you are just deluded. Eightball (talk) 22:11, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
- Of course it's an opinion, but it's an opinion that is widely held. Your opinion is one held by like six editors on Wikipedia, which is why it doesn't matter. Eightball (talk) 22:30, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
- You're the one trying to change shit here, it's up to you to find proof that I am wrong, and you absolutely have not done so. The idea that Formula One is distinctly separate from the World Championship is not set in stone, it is an opinion, and is opinion disproven by the observation that when people say "Formula One," they are not referring to 1948 British non-championship races. If you want to ignore that, fine, but you'd be hard pressed to find actual evidence to the contrary. So nice try with the nail in the coffin, but I think the hammer hit your thumb on that one. Eightball (talk) 22:43, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
- If you honestly, HONESTLY think that the common usage of the term "Formula One" reflects any race using a car meeting the Formula One regulations...I can't even continue this sentence because you'd quote WP:CIVIL again. F1 is synonymous with the World Championship. I'm sorry you fail to see that. Eightball (talk) 23:10, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Article of the month - 2008 Chinese Grand Prix, new Good Article
 The 2008 Chinese Grand Prix (formally the V Sinopec Chinese Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on October 19, 2008 at the Shanghai International Circuit, Shanghai, China. It was the 17th and penultimate race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 56 laps, was won by Lewis Hamilton for the McLaren team after starting from pole position. Ferrari driver Felipe Massa finished second, and Kimi Räikkönen was third in the other Ferrari. Hamilton, the eventual Drivers' Champion, led the Championship going into the race, and started from pole position alongside Räikkönen. Second in the Drivers' Championship, Massa began from third, next to Fernando Alonso of Renault. The first three drivers retained their positions into the first corner, but Alonso was passed by Hamilton's McLaren teammate Heikki Kovalainen. However, Alonso was able to regain the place midway through the first lap. Over the course of the race, Hamilton extended a considerable lead over the two Ferraris. Massa passed Räikkönen with seven laps remaining, to improve his chances of surpassing Hamilton's points tally at the final race in Brazil. The result extended Ferrari's lead over McLaren in the Constructors' Championship from seven to 11 points. Third-placed in the Drivers' Championship, Robert Kubica's sixth place at the Grand Prix eliminated his hopes of winning the Championship, and reduced his lead over fourth-placed Räikkönen to six points.

1977 World Sportscar Championship
I do not know how to have a conversation with The359 so excuse me I'm breaking half a dozen rules here.
I have commented that an article on the 1977 World Sportscar Championship is dreadful. Maybe "dreadful" was the wrong word but the article does not exhibit the knowledge of the subject matter that would be expected of an encyclopedia, free or otherwise. I am happy to help an interested editor improve the article if there is a forum for doing that but I do not have the time to make the extensive edits and additional material required. I can be contacted at allen@oldracingcars.com if you would prefer offline discussion. Allen Brown (talk) 13:11, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

But is a good reference, so, leave the number as 'TBA' or '18 or 19' and the logic is Rubens to have 18 due more points than Jenson in 2008. If you can upload images, make this with these image to be Brawn's car image: http://brawngp.co.uk/images/gallery/bgp001-32.jpg

Article of the month - 2008 German Grand Prix, current Good Article Candidate.
 The 2008 German Grand Prix (formally the LXVIII Großer Preis Santander von Deutschland) was a Formula One motor race held on July 20, 2008 at the Hockenheimring, Hockenheim, Germany. It was the 10th race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 67 laps, was won by Lewis Hamilton for the McLaren team after starting from pole position. Nelson Piquet, Jr. finished second in a Renault car, with Felipe Massa third in a Ferrari. Hamilton maintained his startline advantage and led until he made his first pit stop on lap 18. As other cars made their pit stops, Hamilton regained the lead on lap 22. On lap 36 Timo Glock crashed, and the race was neutralized by the deployment of the safety car. Hamilton, on a two-stop strategy, did not stop to get more fuel during this period, while all the cars around him did. Thus when he did eventually stop on lap 50, he rejoined the race in fifth. In the closing stages of the race, Hamilton overtook first his team-mate Heikki Kovalainen, then Massa, and finally Piquet, to take the lead again on lap 60, which he maintained to win the race. The victory was Hamilton's second consecutive win, having won the preceding British Grand Prix at Silverstone. The win put him ahead of his two main rivals in the Drivers' Championship, Kimi Räikkönen (who finished sixth) and Massa of Ferrari, who were on equal points with him before the race. After the race he was four points ahead of Räikkönen, and seven ahead of Massa. In the Constructors' Championship, McLaren drew closer to the two teams ahead of them, BMW Sauber and Ferrari. Ferrari still led by 15 points from McLaren, and 12 from BMW, whose drivers – Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica – finished fourth and seventh respectively.

{{Infobox motorsport championship}} problem

Do you mind providing a test case for the problem you were trying to fix with this edit, and I'll try to fix it? Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 07:39, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
Peter Elleray/Bentley Speed 8
I am sorry you feel that you're facts are truthful to the Bentley Speed 8 and Peter Elleray case.
However I'm afraid he is actually my CLOSE relitive and I am a lot more knowlageable about Peter and the Bentley Speed 8.
I do not appreciate how you removed the Cars - 'Race car of the year' award given by Autosport. I feel as if you are somewhat envying the fact Peter has designed an award winning and race winning Le Mans car, whilest you are just editing wikipedia articles on race cars?
Also you are trying to describe the picture I took of Peter at Le Mans 2003 as 'copywrighted'? This made me chuckle as it clearly shows your envy towards Peter's success.
Your actions are unwanted and not required as of now my friend, thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dpdr (talk • contribs) 19:55, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Article of the month - 2008 Bahrain Grand Prix, new Good Article
 The 2008 Bahrain Grand Prix (formally the V Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on April 6, 2008 at the Bahrain International Circuit, in Sakhir, Bahrain. It was the third race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 57 laps, was won by Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team. Kimi Räikkönen was second in the other Ferrari, and BMW Sauber driver Robert Kubica was third. The race began with Kubica in pole position alongside Massa; Lewis Hamilton, the eventual Drivers' Champion, started from third, alongside Räikkönen. Kubica was passed by Massa into the first corner, and then by Räikkönen on the third lap. The Ferraris dominated at the front of the race, leading to their one-two finish. Hamilton had a slow start after almost stalling on the grid, and dropped back to ninth. The McLaren driver ran into the back of Fernando Alonso's Renault a lap later, breaking off the McLaren's front wing and dropping Hamilton to the back of the field. Kubica's strong finish promoted BMW Sauber to the lead in the Constructors' Championship, after BMW driver Nick Heidfeld finished fourth. Ferrari and McLaren trailed, one and two points behind, respectively. Räikkönen took the lead in the Drivers' Championship, with 19 points, three points ahead of Heidfeld and five ahead of Hamilton, Kubica and Kovalainen, with 15 races remaining in the season.

Article of the month - 2008 Turkish Grand Prix, new Good Article
 The 2008 Turkish Grand Prix (formally the IV Petrol Ofisi Turkish Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on May 11, 2008 at the Istanbul Racing Circuit, Istanbul, Turkey. It was the fifth race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 58 laps, was won by Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team after starting from pole position. Lewis Hamilton finished second in a McLaren, with Kimi Räikkönen third in the second Ferrari. Massa claimed pole, with teammate Räikkönen fourth, the two Ferrari cars sandwiching the McLarens of Heikki Kovalainen and Hamilton. At the first corner Räikkönen clipped Kovalainen's rear tyre and gave him a puncture. The safety car was deployed on the first lap, after a collision, but only remained out for one lap. During the course of the race, Hamilton, intending to make one more pit stop than both Ferrari drivers, was faster than Massa due to carrying a lighter fuel load and overtook him on lap 24. After Hamilton had made his third pit stop, he rejoined in second behind Massa but in front of the Championship leader, Räikkönen. Massa won the race, with Hamilton 3.779 seconds behind, and Räikkönen a further half-second behind. The two BMW Sauber cars of Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld took fourth and fifth. In the week running up to the grand prix, the Super Aguri team had withdrawn from Formula One, due to financial problems, leaving the sport with only ten teams. Massa's victory was his third consecutive pole position and victory in Turkey, having also won the race from pole in 2006 and 2007. This was also Rubens Barrichello's 257th Grand Prix start, breaking Riccardo Patrese's previous record of 256. Due to the race result, Räikkönen's lead in the Drivers' Championship was lowered to seven points. Massa rose to second from fourth, whilst Hamilton dropped to third, both drivers tying on 28 points but separated by Massa's two wins thus far to Hamilton's one. In the Constructors' Championship, Ferrari increased their lead to 22 points ahead of BMW Sauber, with McLaren a further two points behind in third.

Article of the month - 2008 Monaco Grand Prix, new Featured Article
 The 2008 Monaco Grand Prix (formally the LXVI Grand Prix de Monaco) was a Formula One motor race held on May 25, 2008 at the Circuit de Monaco; contested over 76 laps, it was the sixth race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race was won by the season's eventual Drivers' Champion, Lewis Hamilton, for the McLaren team. BMW Sauber driver Robert Kubica finished second, and Felipe Massa, who started from pole position, was third in a Ferrari. Conditions were wet at the start of the race. Massa maintained his lead into the first corner, but his teammate Kimi Räikkönen was passed for second by Hamilton, who had started in third position on the grid. Hamilton suffered a punctured tyre on lap six, forcing him to make a pit stop from which he re-entered the race in fifth place. As the track dried and his rivals made their own pit stops Hamilton became the race leader, a position he held until the end of the race. Kubica's strategy allowed him to pass Massa during their second pit stops, after the latter's Ferrari was forced to change from wet to dry tyres. Räikkönen dropped back from fifth position to ninth after colliding with Adrian Sutil's Force India late in the race. Sutil had started from 18th on the grid and was in fourth position before the incident, which allowed Red Bull driver Mark Webber to finish fourth, ahead of Toro Rosso driver Sebastian Vettel in fifth. The race was Hamilton's second win of the season, his first in Monaco, and the result meant that he led the Drivers' Championship, seven points ahead of Räikkönen and eight ahead of Massa. Ferrari maintained their lead in the Constructors' Championship, 16 points ahead of McLaren and 17 ahead of BMW Sauber, with 12 races of the season remaining.

you really spend a lot of time aggravating the community dont you? do you make actual contributions or do you just tweak everything exerting ownership over things you know little about? i guess thats the problem with an encyclopedia made by volunteers. people like you who have nothing valuable to do in life except sit around and pick fights and act like you are gods gift to knowledge. you must feel really good about yourself, have you read your talk page lately? might be time to take up another hobby instead of hiding behind your computer, or maybe you get off on it? probably. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.119.252.161 (talk) 17:22, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi, just wondering what was wrong with my edit. I followed the format used on the 2009 season article and my addition was referenced from a RS. Mjroots (talk) 08:29, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
The above user is continually attempting to add Romain Grosjean to 2009 Formula One season, and although he is giving refs they are only merely suggesting that Piquet has been told that he has been replaced by Grosjean. They are far from satisfactory. I have spoken to him on his talk page about it and I noticed that you have had previous problems with this user, warning him that he will be blocked if he disrupts again. I will let you take it from here if you wish to. You may also like to look at the speculative drivers table at the bottom of his userpage. Thanks - mspete93 [talk] 18:55, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Article of the month - 2008 French Grand Prix, current Good Article nominee.
 The 2008 French Grand Prix (formally the XCIII Grand Prix de France) was a Formula One motor race held on June 22, 2008 at the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours, France. It was the eighth race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 70 laps, was won by Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team after starting from second position. Kimi Räikkönen, who started from pole position, finished second in the other Ferrari car; Jarno Trulli was third in a Toyota. Räikkönen and Massa both made a clean start. Renault's Fernando Alonso, who started third, was overtaken by Trulli and BMW Sauber driver Robert Kubica. The front three of Räikkönen, Massa and Trulli maintained their positions through the first round of pit stops. On lap 30, Räikkönen led Massa by six and a half seconds, and Trulli by 30 seconds. Just before half distance, Räikkönen's right exhaust pipe broke, which caused the engine to lose power. Massa, in second place, began lapping quicker than Räikkönen, and he caught and passed him on lap 39. Massa maintained his lead through the second round of pit stops, and won the race; Räikkönen finished almost 18 seconds behind. Trulli fended off McLaren's Heikki Kovalainen, who challenged him in the latter stages, to take third. Massa's win promoted him into the lead of the Drivers' Championship for the first time in his career, overtaking Kubica. Kubica was second, two points behind Massa, while Räikkönen was third. In the Constructors' Championship, Ferrari increased their lead to 17 points ahead of BMW Sauber, McLaren a further 16 points behind in third.

Re: If it looks like a supercharger...
Your 2007 reference cites a 5.4L supercharged V8, not a 5.0L V8. And as you can see [on page 2 here] the picture you linked was not a picture of the engine found in the 2009 Matech-Ford GT3. The intake manifold in the Matech PDF is a naturally aspirated intake manifold originally developed for FR500GT, which was a 550 HP N/A 5.0L Cammer built by Roush-Yates for GT3. The original version used (as seen [here]) was the Daytona Prototype magnesium manifold, the final version seen in the pic is an all new carbon fiber design. The FIA site still lists a 5.4 supercharged V8, but as seen at Matech's site this is incorrect as it now uses a N/A 5.0L.
Also note both Ford Racing and RoushYates list a part number for this engine: M-6007-MRGT

- The FIA website lists the GT3 bore and stroke at 90.18mm and 105.71mm respectively, this works out to 5402cc (5.4L). The 5.0L engine has a bore of 94mm and a stroke of 90mm. No race spec 5.0L is supercharged, the thin cylinder walls prohibit it in racing environments. TheBalance (talk) 00:22, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
- This trumps all. Car and Driver tested a "prototype" FR500GT3 here. The article contains quotes from Dan Davis, director of Ford Racing Technology, and clearly states the 550HP 5.0L Cammer used in the FR500GT3 is to be naturally aspirated.
- Quote: "He [Dan Davis] knows it will be a Ford V-8, naturally aspirated, 550 horsepower, but the rest, he says, may be negotiable." TheBalance (talk) 00:33, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
- Actually it does. According to The 2007 season Matech-Ford GT3 ran a supercharged 5.4 4V. We know that the Matech-Ford GT3 runs a 5.0L Cammer these days. The engine program of the Ford GT3 and FR500GT3 are intertwined. here TheBalance (talk) 00:43, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
- As you know the various sources conflict, it's to be expected in competitive racing where no one wants to give up their edge. But I'm telling you that I know for a fact that no 5.0L Cammer sees a supercharger in race duty. The Cammer employs a 94mm bore diameter on 100mm bore spacing, the resulting thin cylinder wall doesn't lend itself to boost under extreme conditions as seen in FIA.
- Note the team bios on fiagt3.com. Look at the Jaguar engine description, which is supercharged:
- ENGINE
- 4.2 Litre XKR Supercharged dohc
- V8-Engine
- Front mounted engine
- Double overhead cam (DOHC)
- (Chain-driven)
- Four valves per cylinder click here
- Note the team bios on fiagt3.com. Look at the Jaguar engine description, which is supercharged:
- Now look at the Ford GT engine description:
- Engine
- Ford Racing 5.0L Cammer V8 race engine mapped for 102 octane unleaded fuel
- BOSCH engine management system
- Baffled anti-surge wet sump
- Tuned tubular exhaust manifold
- Power output 550 hp @ 7200 rpm
- Torque output 600 Nm @ 6000 rpm click here TheBalance (talk) 01:05, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
- Now look at the Ford GT engine description:
- One last source here. Note the description: "Used in the FR500C/GT/GT3/GT4 Competition Mustangs" and "Designed for minimal weight while retaining strength and durability for naturally aspirated engine combinations". Not sure what else to say, but the 5.0L Cammers are N/A engines. TheBalance (talk) 01:18, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
- The thing is, we do know that the Ford GTs in GT3 are now indeed running 5.0L Cammers. TheBalance (talk) 02:21, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
No
That person wouldn't be me. Thank you. (Zaxby (talk) 01:08, 15 August 2009 (UTC))
Thanks
All I want from them is a source. It would be nonsense if they can't verify what it is.(Zaxby (talk) 03:51, 17 August 2009 (UTC))
Yes, I understand the word nonsense thank you sir. The one that you titled...doesn't belong...was a mistake and I've fixed it...no need to nag me about it...its done and over with.(Zaxby (talk) 03:55, 17 August 2009 (UTC))
That is because he removed it...duh...im going to put it back again. No, you listed one mistake, which i have admitted to and fixed and you continue to whine and pout. Stop wasting my time.(Zaxby (talk) 04:01, 17 August 2009 (UTC))

Immaturity
You show ignorance once again. You should not remove warnings from talk pages while under investigation at AIAV! Another reason why you should pay attention to your own editing instead of whining and pouting.(Zaxby (talk) 05:00, 21 August 2009 (UTC))

Hm
You can't accuse someone of sock puppetry without evidence. How ironic.(Zaxby (talk) 13:29, 22 August 2009 (UTC))
Several championships have had non-points races, and most Wikipedia articles on them do cover them. For example, the 2008 IndyCar Series season includes information about the 2008 Long Beach Grand Prix (points-paying, other car regulations) and the 2008 Surfers Paradise Indy 300 (non points-paying, IndyCar regulations). That's the case with the 1999 USRRC as well, isn't it? --164.73.32.3 (talk) 21:57, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Article of the month - Brabham BT46, current Good Article, after reassessment.
 The Brabham BT46 was a Formula One racing car, designed by Gordon Murray for the Brabham team, owned by Bernie Ecclestone, for the 1978 Formula One season. The car featured several radical design elements, the most obvious of which was the use of flat panel heat exchangers on the bodywork of the car to replace conventional water and oil radiators. The concept did not work in practice and was removed before the car’s race debut, never to be seen again. The cars, powered by a flat-12 Alfa Romeo engine, raced competitively with modified nose-mounted radiators for most of the year, driven by Niki Lauda and John Watson, winning one race in this form and scoring sufficient points for the team to finish third in the constructors championship. The "B" variant of the car, also known as the "fan car", was introduced at the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix as a counter to the dominant ground effect Lotus 79. The BT46B generated an immense level of downforce by means of a fan, claimed to be for increased cooling, but which also extracted air from beneath the car. The car only raced once in this configuration in the Formula One World Championship—when Niki Lauda won the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix at Anderstorp. The car was withdrawn before it could race again and the concept was declared illegal by the FIA. The BT46B therefore preserves a 100% winning record.
