    Thanks gridds, I thought it must be something like that. It is hard to imagine an electric 'motor' being able to speed up a shaft which must already be revving at such a high speed. Enjoy all of your posts. Shame about the German G P or is Bernie putting on pressure as he did with Silverstone?

  • You're welcome.

    I'm not really up to speed with what happened with the German GP but basically Bernie is all about money and he plays that game very well. He runs the show and he makes the calls on where races are run. This is mainly down to who can afford and is willing to pay his extortionate fees for running a race. Many circuits can't or won't pay his fees and hence they don't get a race. I'm sure there is a lot of other bullshit involved as well but yes, it's ultimately Bernie's call.

  • I was under the impression that certain established circuits got a preferential rate and the new kids on the block actually paid the exorbitant fees.
