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)

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)

Brawn GP
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

Infobox motorsport championship problem
Hi,

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)

2010 Formula One season Prospective new entrants
No point in hiding it either, as any team that does get an entry will be added to the main chart, and not a separate chart. Iknow this bu it will make it easyer to add it to the main table --Wrcf1 21:18, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

WOW
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)

2010 F1 season
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)

FYI:User:Officially Mr X
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)

Hi, if I took a picture of Peter from my camera and uploaded it to his article with my permission to release it into public domain. Would you remove it like last time? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dpdr (talk • contribs) 00:55, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

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 As seen [here] And [here]

TheBalance (talk) 23:50, 14 August 2009 (UTC)


 * 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


 * 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)


 * 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)

That person wouldn't be me. Thank you. (Zaxby (talk) 01:08, 15 August 2009 (UTC))

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))

1999 United States Road Racing Championship season
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)
