Future Formula One Grand Prix[edit]

This is very essay style and more than a touch of speculation, is this really the place for such an article? --Falcadore (talk) 03:10, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Indycar unofficial testing to be added to lap records[edit]

In 2018 a 2011 spec indycar was driven in testing around Phillip Island gp circuit, should this be added to the page looking for advise on wording as I’m a new user. Thanks // Sourcing: Speedcafe showing video of the car on track .// Image distributed online of the test data from the day of test with lap time. Name and track shown .// News release from race torque showing the lap time will not be offical unless it is set in a race meeting.


In late October 2018 Mathew Radisich drove his 2011 spec conquest racing IndyCar during testing at the Phillip island Grand Prix track as a part of unofficial practice day[1], with images distributed online of his recorded Cosworth data showing a Lap time archived of 1:17.005 [2]in unofficial practice was set. However as this time was not set during a race meeting, it does not count as a official lap record.[3] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Motorlover98 (talk • contribs) 11:43, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Motorlover98: I have made some small changes to the wording, nothing controversial I don't think, but let me know. Also as I said on your talk page, I'm still not overly happy with the "source" being used for the time but I'm not going to remove it myself. A7V2 (talk) 23:11, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've reverted your rash change - as previously, from another editor, that you know about and have reacted to by repeating with another unwise similar change.
Lap records can ONLY be set in an actual race, with OTHER RACE TRAFFIC on the course, under full-race conditions.
Qualifying is just furore from the motor-mouth commentators and click bait website writers - come to our site so we can bombard you with advertising. Often the racers use super-soft grade tyres (or also known as qualifying tyres) that are too-soft to last the race. Some qualifiers can only last one or two laps. Also fuel loads are deliberately low, meaning less weight and better agility.
Absolute or all-time records - whereas they are headline-grabbing - should be disregarded, as only serve to promote confusion from those who are inexperienced.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 04:05, 22 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
