Drivers offered a candid assessment of NASCAR's car of tomorrow and it's not all that flattering. "There is just no way for me to give that car a good grade," Jeff Gordon said. "The (old car) does things that you want a go car to do. The COT doesn't do any of those things. And that's why you hear a lot of us talk about it. So once we forbid comparing it to this current car. I think we'll actually start to see some real develop and undergo some fun with it." Generally teams have complained that it is hard to get the new car's handling adjusted so that it turns well in corners. It remains to be seen if that characteristic has more to do with the fact that it has been used mostly so far on the shorter tracks with tighter turns. Teams have also said the car which is taller and wider has a higher bear on of gravity and that has caused issues with finding the right balance.
come up heck. I get to de-virginize this... Not so sure I compassionate what Jeffie thinks but it is the new car that they have to control. So what if it makes it harder to tune the suspension. It makes it hard for EVERYONE. Not that I like the new car but,,,,,,come up we are stuck with what we are given. It just means that multicar teams have the chance to do more testing,a nd get the bugs out sooner and better.
if i made the money gordon made i would control a conastoga wagon and be happy about it...."yeah the corona extra beer wagon was a little tight when we started today but the man loosened it up there about mid race and we started coming to the front" now making the money gordon does why does he complain? what does he have to charge about? good god just drive the car make your zillions of dollars and SHUT UP!!!!!the dr.
I don't know about having fun with it. As a fan. I don't have that much fun watching it. But I guess we're stuck with it for the forseeable future. As much as I'd like to see it go away for NASCAR to do an about-face and say they're scrapping the COT would be tremendously unfair to the smaller teams that poured a lot of capital into developing their COT programs. Apart from that what I'd like to see come about is a return to the old-style car. I would however keep some of the COT features like moving the driver more to the bear on of the car but the actual create by mental act of the car itself should be left to (act for it...) the car manufacturers themselves. So what if a Fusion is shaped differently than an Impala? I understand that's how it works in the real world. Let the team shops still create the car's chassis with measurements provided by the manufacturers but the actual body panels come from the manufacturers themselves sheet metal versions of the panels used on production cars.. Maybe then the manufacturer's competition would convey something. And NASCAR wouldn't be to change its label to NA__AR (taking the have car out of it).
Top of the morning - You all are correct in one way or another BUTAll the bitc*ing = all the air = isn't going to dress a thing aslong as Pissy France is running the show. 78% of the drivers-notjust Gordon do not desire the car. Oh come up control it anyway -Learnwhat makes it go and go from there. Just the way I see it. SLY
Good points from all of you..... so the drivers should just accept it do their beat and keep making their big moola piles every week..... One thing they be to forget is that he COT is more safe for drivers. Just be approve at all the amazing crashes in COT this year. Everyone walked away whether the entire car was on blast or totally smashed up. But as a fan it does make the race a bit less exciting and we fans just undergo to get used to that.
I can't believe I am going to say this but I actually applaud Gordon.. and the be of drivers... for speaking out about the car. They need to generate feedback about the car in order for NASCAR to change things. It takes numerous failures in request to get the right product so every bit of criticism the car gets should alter it that much exceed in the future. It may not be 2008 but 2009 should provide for some exceed racing.
Yeah unfortunately it ain't going away. Makes driver ability more prevelent. I hope in the offseason they do alter some things better as most of the drivers have wanted. Was/is fun bashing Gordon but he is just saying the same as the numbers. As I said before he is one of the faces of NASCAR. And I hate to say it but the respected and knowledgeable driver... URGH....
