Tony Cotman and the 2012 IndyCar

First, thank GrabBagSports for allowing us to participate and share the questions and answers Tony Cotman. The discussion is archived here but we offer a summary of developments in French.

Tony Cotman, 43, was vice president of competition for the Indy Racing League until January 2010 before becoming part of the project for the IndyCar ICONIC 2012. He also founded his company, NZR Consulting, which is responsible for designing and building circuits. Last August, he was appointed Project Manager for the specifications of the 2012 IndyCar Series, where his privileged position to judge the progress so far.

During this chat, so we learned that the first new car should make its first outing in mid-July according to their forecasts. A pilot test should be appointed Cotman but did not exclude some drivers to seek the board to carry out the tests. It is also worth noting that Tony Cotman said that no aero kit will track testing before the season. Everything must go in the wind tunnel and CFD. However, the engines will be allowed to experiment. These decisions seem quite logical. Teams may also, as mentioned, use parts from several suppliers of kit aircraft, such as pontoons and aileron Dallara Lotus. Cotman said that it would possible to construct the initial kit, but once it approved, the mix would not be possible. Similarly, the teams will not be allowed to change suppliers engines during the season for obvious marketing reasons. Finally, suppliers of aero kits will not broadcast images of prototypes before May at the earliest. The allocation of aero kits according to the teams is also still under negotiation. Cotman believes that they should last until April.

Regarding engines, Tony Cotman said he would have preferred a 2.0L engine with a lifespan of 2,000 miles. However, he had put his desires aside to achieve the desired 750 horsepower. He admitted also that the decisions were made despite some problems. This included meeting the fans, security, builders and the desire of technology in the league. However, it will be possible to use smaller engines that 2.2L V6 (12000 rpm maximum) were determined. However, they will not be subject to rules of equity, hence the lack of interest in doing others. The 2012 engines will use an ECU (Engine Control Unit) common to the image of F1, which will retain control over sensitive topics such as traction control. Honda, Lotus and Chevrolet have all, according to Cotman, progress in the design of their engines, but it implies that some have already one step ahead. One may doubt that Lotus is a bit late, engine design is not the house specialty. About

tires, Cotman was in favor of a war of tires, but it would be more in the future, because the site is already great for 2012. By the 2012 season future, drivers and teams will have access to the simulator Dallara in conditions supposed to be fair between players IndyCar.

the side Fan, Cotman said it plans to use mobile technology that will allow access to streaming real-time telemetry on mobile phones. He also believes the 2012 project will help reinvigorate the IndyCar, but it will take more than a new car to get the necessary success. The IndyCar

also working on a new IndyLights for 2013, while considering the use of many components of the IndyCar Series car. It shares the desire to reduce costs on the two major series in the league. Cotman also considers the economy to 40% achievable for a full season of IndyCar Series cars between current and 2012. Nevertheless, he remains pragmatic and realistic: the teams will spend the savings!

For the evolution of the IndyCar after 2012, Cotman admitted that he would cast a look at other disciplines to learn from them. In response to concerns about the behavior of new cars, Tony Cotman said they will support a level similar to those of today. However, drag / air resistance would be lower, implying less power to drive. He also expressed no surprise, difficulty to contain costs because of security required.

The question of any controversy, learning how competition between suppliers of aero kits was invited. In this regard, he thinks that this is inevitable, but it all goes in the direction of a more open regulations. For him, this is part of the choice between the opportunities afforded to teams, and some of them make bad choices. Thus, those who are to have the best package. If a package gets a substantial advantage, other teams will catch up, in the interest of the competition. Any idea of compensation / restriction performance is excluded. In the end

discussion, Cotman was told more about his work on the IndyCar. He admitted that managing several manufacturers was difficult because he had to stay in the race or risk seeing the discussions turn into political minefield. However, this does not prevent him from loving his work, which he sees as a good thing for the IndyCar. He reveals that he prefers the appearance in circuit design (part of its other functions), is to design what has not been conceived before and allows overruns - that his company has succeeded NZR with the path of Sao Paulo. He also expressed his optimism about the future of the route from Edmonton who narrowly missed losing his place.

Until the 2012 season, the 2011 will begin in late March in the streets of St Petersburg. A monotype last season which will surely interest.

Force India confirms Sutil and di Resta

Each year, there are worst-kept secret than others. Force India was one of those. The Indian team has confirmed his trio for the upcoming season, namely Adrian Sutil and Paul di Resta as holders, together with Nico Hulkenberg in reserve driver.

No mention was made about Liuzzi, so we are not able to tell if an amicable agreement was reached, or if the case is judicial extension. In both cases, the team of Vijay Mallya seems to have chosen an option that could be paid in the end, both on track financially. It is rumored that the engagement of di Resta is accompanied by a free supply of Mercedes Kers, coined to 6 million, while the supply motor is already costing 12 million to her own.

Liuzzi did not have much to blame, however, given the season he has done. Some breaks have been due to its dynamics. But reducing di Resta at an economical option would be simplistic. The boy went to school with flying colors in the forms of promotions, including beating Vettel in F3 Euro Series, before returning to the DTM. Four seasons with the support of DTM Mercedes before winning the title in 2010. The main question will be how the Scots will come out in the peloton after four years of battle in tourism. Nevertheless, the boy is talented, no doubt. Will this be enough there to worry Sutil who is, yet again, retained despite its attempts to start the summer?

Hulkenberg his side will have to settle for third role before expect better in 2012. Too bad, that boy is too talented, and deserved better. But when one remembers the name of his manager, Willi Weber, this can be cons-productive at times. Obviously, Anthony Davidson, the manager of di Resta, was more clever.

Overall a very interesting trio at Force India, as the pilots of the potential. It could even be likened to a casting for Mercedes, the day Schumacher take his true reverence. Sutil has a vested interest not to stagnate as it has shown a few times in 2010. Everything is just beginning, strongly back!

War names

yesterday so we had two announcements. Hispania appoint his new car while Ferrari F111 baptize his F150. Two innocuous ads that show, however, some trivial limitations brand names.

I do not know if their names were submitted, but yet you can find links to fun. The Ferrari F150 is so named because of the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy. Note that this name is also a close link, that of the Ford pickup that was long the most sold in the United States. Subtle difference between Ferrari F150 and say Ford F-150.

Meanwhile, Hispania could damage the reputation of the fighter, the F111. It's fun, it should also take good article in the second degree, because even if the cars have no commercial purpose to be sold, it happens that certain names come together. And sometimes even beyond the mechanical world, everyone will remember the Midland M16, not to be confused with the weapon of war.

be remembered well by Jordan, who wanted to name his first name Jordan F1 911, Porsche refused at any price, sell by Eddie Jordan, whose tenderness is not in business very bisounours. Thus, Jordan took the name of Jordan 191. Ironically, the Porsche 911 would be named the Porsche 901 in the 60s. However, the French manufacturer Peugeot has a monopoly of the three figures with a zero in the middle. Porsche then decided to replace the zero by 1.

So, not without a touch of irony, when the Ford-Zo In F1 or the name AK-47?

Williams F1 exceeds the stock market?

Adam Parr Williams & Management announced Friday that the English team was considering an IPO in a more or less near future. A scenario already considered for F1 in itself, but has never been implemented before. Let us try to see what such an operation can bring.

Introduce Grove City could allow the team to obtain additional funds in order to reinvest later. The Team's statements indicate that Williams intends to retain majority shareholding open, but also controlling shareholders. The majority is not necessary to maintain control of a company, but the solution is more conservative and it reflects the desire to retain almost exclusive control of the team, while welcoming the contribution new money.

It is not excluded that Williams, the team itself, buys shares of these new partners thereafter. The purpose of the action is therefore possible to position itself more strategically in the long-term rather than looking for funds to run. This may play well in negotiations with banks, by the ability of repayment and borrowing capacity, which can be facilitated. The positive results of the team in 2008 and 2009 in this direction, and for 2011, PDVSA will offset the loss of sponsorship of the winter. He will then see later if the team confirms that direction, since nothing has yet been decided. It also remains to judge whether such formal quotation will be effective, the results in other sports are more or less successful. Williams was on his side a 40-year accounts healthy and solid financial foundation. The experience can be worth it, while positioning itself as an anticipation of lack of sponsors, like Toto Wolff have done the same team several months ago.

The team also said that Frank Williams had no desire to retire, or even health problems. The man is physically weakened for years, but he seems more determined than ever to ensure the viability of his stable in these difficult times.

Answer To The Latest Poll On Our Facebook page related to the article

Take the new poll on our Facebook page linked to this article

The Lotus Renault GP is illegal in Canada, or does it figure as a scapegoat? It is clear that Canadian law provides, like many laws today, not to advertise a brand of tobacco or alcohol, especially on racing circuits.

was criticized last year for the Scuderia Ferrari of subliminal advertising, what it has already discussed on the blog . Then we had discussed the lack of profit from such advertising restrictions . Look, already, what happened to the Scuderia. The combination of logos the team could enlighten us further.

Note the striking similarity between the logo and the Marlboro logo mirror after a little retouching. It is therefore clear that subliminal advertising still exists. However, the logo change in theory proves the good faith of the team, and it will not be bored.

Meanwhile, Lotus Renault GP livery reminiscent of the old colors of the Lotus team is considered illegal in Canada, according to the Tobacco Act. But in no way linked JPS Lotus Renault GP version. Only the history of Formula 1 could establish such a link. Finally, nothing more alarming than the legacy of the Scuderia and its close relationship with Marlboro.

The sinews of war lies in the lines, so. They recall the livery at the time title sponsor JPS. Now, let the link between these lines and JPS cigarettes.

You'll answer for yourself the question in the illustration. Now, Lotus Renault GP, and in fact, Renault in general, would it be a scapegoat of F1 as we like seriously bored? Replica of the famous Alonso Whereas most F1 as a sport at Crash Gate, there is only one step. Many discussions have emerged from these controversies. Two essential personalities in F1, both based at Renault, withdrew after the famous Grand Prix Singapore Fernando Alonso has triumphed thanks, it seems, to an abandonment of Piquet orchestrated by his team. The skepticism does not stop, especially after new information like this.

Let us, at the end of this article, everything is debatable and highly subjective. There is no chance, just a desire to harm some people, it seems. Fortunately, this is not an excuse to succumb to paranoia. There is no doubt that history will be resolved well before the Grand Prix.

Pirelli: the solution to speak

"We hope that will allow to make two pit stops for each race. We try to do our part of the contract to help make the sport as attractive as possible. "With this statement, Pirelli Motorsport boss, Paul Hembery, subtly but clearly announces the solution to make this season about the gums.

Beyond the artificial aspect of the question, already mentioned here , Pirelli is also protected in case of a challenge to the quality of their gums compared with Bridgestone. An artifice created by tire life short, very short, too short. We knew the parade mix of both chosen by Bridgestone tires, here is the new solution. Worse, it adds to the old. Again, the results of races will depend largely on the understanding of the gums, while it should rather be related to its management.

bad, Pirelli lost an opportunity here to raise the unanimity of the fans. However, it would have been simple. As an important gap between soft and hard. Or for some purists like us, gums may take an entire race, so let the spirit and daring punter talk to some pilots. The pit stops should be the exception, not the rule, as was the pit stops. What

still skeptical about the manufacturing monopolies. More than ever.

Formula 1 and its reputation

Many observers believe that the reputation of F1 is suffering increasingly from the different x-gate, that is to say, the business involving cheating, espionage, theft or other.

As we enter a new decade, waiting for it in sport? Which teams disappoint us? Which drivers will emerge? What disasters may well hit this microcosm of F1? It is difficult to accurately answer these questions, and so much better. Indeed, many say that race positions freeze a few laps to go - but who really takes the risk to stop looking, sure of the result? F1 has never been an exact science, despite all the measures taken by the engineers so that everything goes as planned.

Regarding the controversy, the clarification of the rules is a very good thing. Everyone agrees on one point: there are team orders because the F1 is as much a business than a sport. It was therefore unfair that some people do punish and others not. Worse yet, the penalties vary depending on the case.

As the prestige of the drivers, that's not counting the countless forms of promotion and the number of young talents who want to discover what is the limit. Pilots crowned champions vary from year to year: intrepid young or experienced, or reflected spectacular, clean on the track or controversial, driving a Ferrari, a McLaren Mercedes, an Brawn or Red Bull.

Again, the reputation of F1 is doing well, and debates among fans and journalists have not finished feeding discipline, carefully observing the emergence of new talents or surprises that are waiting for more.

It also remains to be seen whether the series will begin this year. Reading in the blog archives, we found that archive who had left us wary at the time, but seems to have more consistency today.

The F1 in HD - good or bad news?

Yesterday, the FOM and some TV channels (including BBC) gave the green light for the retransmission of F1 Grand Prix in HD. Technically, 42Mo data per second and a resolution of 1080i are the promises of the FOM. Clearly, the image quality unbeatable. Yet once, the F1 shows how it sticks to new technological innovations, and far beyond the automotive technology alone.

question is whether all countries broadcasting the F1 will benefit their viewers the latest technologies. Even so, the important thing in all this is to see the Grand Prix. For the record, yesterday evening, the team looked ChequeredFlags two former GP: Canada 2007 (not far) and Europe 1999 (the last century, but fortunately it does not date much). We have come to the conclusion that the picture became somewhat surreal. Finally, we doubt have remained nostalgic for the days when technology was developing more slowly and offered appliances not designed to be renewed every two years once the warranty expires in fact. A

information for French: TF1 will broadcast in HD CUs.

THE FAILURE OF THE CHINESE CONTRACT MGR

There are similarities in the political history of the current Cote d'Ivoire and that of my country, Congo Kinshasa, where many leaders with the political idiocy left without permission to enter Congo foreigners who have long coveted our wealth. Worse, they had the same partner in the management of the Republic by providing them with high responsibilities: defense, diplomacy, information, finance, security nationnale ...

These functions, a good and patriotic political philosopher, after the great political minds can not deliver the case in the hands of foreigners or those who do not demonstrate a sincere friendship and deep in its place: they are highly strategic functions reserved to the "prince".

Those who yesterday said they were Congolese (as James Kabarebe former Chief of Staff of the Congolese armed defense minister today in Rwanda's true ,...) country with the complicity of some traitors and fellow lepers are the amalgam of rebuilding the Congo, on the contrary they cashing in their private accounts is higher than what they give to the country: They give little and remove more.

To realize this, just look at the realism in Chinese 5 year contract. It was signed in 2007 and expects construction DRCongo China's 2,400 km of roads, 2,000 km of railway, 32 hospitals, 145 dispensaries and 2 Universities. The total cost was $ 9 billion by which the DR Congo, my country, would provide 10 million tons of copper, cobalt 400milles tons.

Indeed, copper and cobalt are going to China every day, where are the railroads, health clinics, hospitals, universities ...?

Moreover, Congo my country remains a country where public transport is still provided by private vehicles. The state does not even gene in fixing the price of transport for goods that do not belong to him.

Composed of experts in economics, The Congolese government has always ignored the first trader with huge funds and many different angina to the life and vitality of the people is the state and not individuals.
