Pasca with aircon
« on: June 15, 2006, 01:19:34 pm »
Mike Fuller reports that the Pescarolos will probably be running with air conditioning, clever chaps. Next year air conditioning is mandatory in the GTs, this year the use is proposed by the ACO. To counter the loss of power they can use a bigger air restrictor. Hence the Pescas will have more power. Of course they don't need aircon in the open prototypes and just have to cope with the added weight of the device. Clever chap who spotted this loopwhole in the regulations.

I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

Yep, nice for the drivers though.

Fresh air in the face, and an ice cool breeze to keep your dangly bits fresh  :D What could be better while you tootle round some pleasant French A roads in June  ;D ;)

They mentioned on tv last night, that by 2008 (I think) all cars will be closed, hence the need for air conditioning to become mandatory.
