Re: G.P. in the "Real" World - What Would You Do?

Nice point, but a F-1 car costs multi-millions. Also, F-1 has the rule of NO tire changes, FIRST doesn't have a rule of no RC changes, so I wouldn't see a huge deal. F-1 also does not promote gracious professionalism. They are "tough nosed" competitors. When I went to IMS last year for F-1 quals, David Coultard wrecked, McLaren built a wall of tires in front of their garage so NOBODY could see in...now if a FIRST bot would break you would see TONS of people from different teams getting in on helping out. My main point with this is, FIA and F-1 are nothing like FIRST...I can see how you can compare the two...F-1 teams make money for winning...lots of money. So I honestly don't blame them...Ferrari, Jordan and Minardi teams did nothing wrong while competing in the USGP, they came to do a job and they did it...14 other teams did not....
