what are you talking about? The 8 sucks at turns and has horrible weigh distribution. Most people use 8s as drag cars.

A bad driver can make the fastest car slow. Lewis Hamilton could be in a Dodge Ram and lap me even if I was in his F1 car

Ok...are you kidding me? I hope you don't own an 8, cause this is a false statement. 8 is one of the few cars with the best 50:50 weight distribuiton. And is NOT made of drag racing due to not having much low end torque as other vehicles in its category.

As for Lewis Hamilton - I take Massa over lewis anyway day.

he must have been to busy talking on his cell phone to use them.

Guy has no understanding of racing lines at all, probably not much understanding of physics either.

I am suprise they didnt kick him off the track. i mean, the driver didnt even us the racing lines at all. what drivers drives stays on the outside of the corners 99% of the time.

I donno. I think I could do better my first time out. At the very least I'd be able to find a line.
