Re: What make of car do you drive

Audi A4 DTM.

No inspiration from F1 (or DTM) - live in the alps and need the quattro. The two most popular brands in the area are Audi and Subaru, as they are the best AWD systems for the snow.

Re: 'Super GP2' could enter F1

What happens if the "Super GP2" teams start regularly challenging or beating the full F1 cars? Or will they be purposely limited to being a lot slower so this doesn't happen? If it is the latter (which I am sure it will be) what is the point in automatically having half the grid unable to compete - ...

The problem is not that they did the test, it was that they used the 2013 car - so obviously they could gather data not so much on the tyres but on the car itself.
