Thread: V8s COTF

And you call yourself UNINFORMED Those Mercs do sound great though!

Betcha they can change the RC height, just can't adjust quickly during a pit stop.

Used to do it 20 years ago on IRS/wishbone rear ends with a widely spaced clevis on the transaxle with spacers above and below the spherical bearing, so it becomes like a spring or damper change, not a 1.5 second job.

And Casey Stoner is driving in the feeder series !

#1 my thoughts exactly. Not that I had any actual idea, but im thinking "hey its idependant suspension on a race car, surely there are adjustable points that make it better than a live axle"

#2, yes the feeder series. but still a VVVVVV8 I thought the new cars were ment to be cheaper to control the sprialing costs. CS is running MS 2010 winning car apparently

COTF???
CS?
MS?
WTF?
just because you understand your abbreviations doesnt mean I do.....makes it kinda hard to read....

Car
Of
The
Future

Its the new series and car of the V8 supercars, or touring cars as they were called.

CS Casey Stoner.....sorry I only referred to him once. Did you know he is now racing in the V8 series, not the top class, just below it. In, ironically a car that he can change the roll center height. The car is Mark Skafie's former 2010 winning car.

















btw CS is now racing MS old car in the feeder series to COTF.

thanks mate, I wasnt being difficult, I hadnt kept up with V8 Supercars. Is that what its called now? V8Cars of the future?

haha I know I was really just taking the **** out of what little I saw yesterday. It was kinda funny as they present it kinda for dummies, but get all "tech" with terms like roll center.....

Im not sure what the actual series is called? They have been referring to COTF for the last year now but Im sure they cant call the series that. It would now have to be called Car Of The Present.....

Its the first time Ive actually been interested in V8s in many many years. Good to see some other brands. Yes I know its a one chassis class, but atleast the engines are brand related. The Nissan and Merc more so

Who's the Casey Stoner ????
