Racecraft is a pretty vague term and you probably would be better served to split your question into the components that make up racecraft. Those would be:

1) Practicing
2) Qualifying
3) Starts
4) Beginning, mid-race and end-race pace
5) Passing
6) Tire usage
7) Pit strategy

I too love the American cars, particularly from the 50s & 60s. The were big, powerful, and the back seats were a wonderful place to discuss 'options' with the girl you picked while "dragging" main street! 8) we call that kerb crawling :D But seriously, you chaps over in US literally give a licence ...

Personally I reckon the engine rules should be relaxed and a multiplier put in place for different configs like other FIA sports. So like a turbo car gets a 1.7 multiplier. So under current rules they would have to run a 1.4 turbo. rotary engine are 1.8 multiplier so 1.33l engine . Which makes the ...

I think someone should be ashamed of that. Ok fair does he got annoyed in the heat of the moment it happens to everyone. What he said in the press was also silly.

That's "strategy", not "racecraft".

I don't think Schumacher pumping in qualifying laps on a clear track while thirty seconds behind the leader is a good example of racecraft. In fact I would call it a poor example. Racecraft in my book is all about being aware of other cars in your proximity, and understanding how their actions dete...

Redbull gives you RaceCRAFT, or is it WINGS 8) anyone remember back in the day. Schumi would be say 30 seconds behind the leader and with half a race to go he would just post full quali laps. He did it time and time again and usually managed the win. Thats gow good was his racecraft. :thumbup: You ...
