Xmas and New Year - Looking Forward to 2011...

Looking Forward to 2011 - Hoping and Wishing…





HOPING

F1 - I…
  • hope the new technical regulations (no F-duct, no twin diffusers, but new movable rear wings, the return of KERS, and an overtake button) aid overtaking and enable the cars to actually race closely together!
  • hope the FIA has plugged the inevitable “holes” in the rule book, stopping the teams from gaining back any lost downforce!
  • hope Ross Brawn can give Mercedes a good car! Three teams up front in 2010 was good, one more would be even bettter!
  • hope the FIA rule makers have sorted the restart regulations!

NASCAR - I… 
  • hope new fronts on the cars do not change quality of the racing!
  • hope the Nationwide only teams can afford to develop their new cars enough to take the fight to the Cup Series interlopers! 
  • hope Dale Jr. finally gets his act together, as it's what the sport needs to boost the ratings and attendances! 
  • hope Richard Petty can sort his team out and give AJ and Marcos, both good drivers, a shot at the Chase! 
  • hope Richard Childress Racing can carry the momentum, and form, into next year! 
  • hope for some races to be shortened!
  • hope for a new Sprint Cup Champion!!
  • hope Chevy change their mind and race the Camaro in the Nationwide Series! 
  • hope the American fans return to the tracks and TV coverage in 2011 as the product is worth it!
  • hope NASCAR is on UK TV next year... and on a channel I can afford!! 

INDYCAR - I…
  • hope somebody puts Hornish and Wheldon  together, and goes racing!
  • hope the PR people can create enough interest in the 2011 season for people to actually care about the introduction of the new car in 2012!

BTCC - I...
  • hope the championship and the racing will not suffer in the “cross-over- year” as the teams change from the old cars  and engines to the new NGTC spec cars, ready for the full 2012 introduction!

WISHING

  • F1 bans wings 
  • F1 re-introduces the gearlever!
  • BTCC goes rear wheel drive!
  • Indycar goes front engined!
  • V8 Supercars goes back to H-pattern 'boxes!
  • NASCAR brings in more short track races!
 
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
SEE YOU IN 2011!!
