this posting is cancelled,its been invaded with too much comment unrelated to the issue
Quote by Phuckers
Aformula 1 car uses about 150litres of fuel for a race in pitstop the car can take in 100litres during a 10sec,which means over 10litres in a can consume as much as 44,000litres of fuel per session...
i love this sports but yesterday while watching the canadian event it just struck me,i had just paid per litre of diesel yet i was happy to be entertained by someone burnng fuel worth nearly £60,000 driving in same circle 70times...
do you think the grand prix should be suspended till the prices of the gallon go down,reduce the number of tracks per session or what do you suggest...

Actually it's worth more than £60,000 as it is a special "green" fuel which is unleaded and has very low sulphur content. Pre 2005 it used to be an extremely expensive special mix of hydrocarbons that bore no relation to the petrol used in normal cars.
Also, FYI the fuel tank is actually a large rubber bladder that is placed between the front of the car and the driver.
As for being suspended, no I don't think it should. after all how many of us jump in the car and drive to somewhere we could quite have easily walked to? Their use of fuel does have a purpose, which is to entertain us. Given that we are now an entertainment-centric culture, it would seem that it is very important.
Why stop at motor sports? dunno
Why don't we suspend ALL non essential leisure activities?
lets start with our holidays... Outings for underprivileged children... deliveries of home furnishings (they are not edible so we don't need them)
In fact lets stop everything that consumes fossil fuels that indirectly also has anything to do with non-essential activities?
Can you see the point I'm trying to make here?
Burning of fossil fuels is intrinsic to our living todays world...
You cannot point to one tiny aspect of what we do on this planet & say lets ban it
We have too many narrow mined lilly livered politicians to do that for us!

Yes but you always take it personally when I do use them, so it's far easier to wait until someone posts something that I agree with. Then you can't say I'm having a dig at you.

Mr P
Nothing posted on a public forum is straight forward.
People will read and respond accordingly.
Questions are and always will be, part of a debate. If you dont wish people to pose questions and make comment what is the point in posting?

Doesn't matter, HnH. People will soon stop responding - they can't do right for doing wrong, it would seem. confused

I can't imagine why you made those words bold - served no purpose. Ho hum. Tell you what Phuckers, I'll just agree with anything you say - maybe then you'll be happy. rolleyes

My mistake for not interpreting your post the way you intended.

Insults and abuse? Where? Do I really irritate you?
I do enjoy the forum, thanks biggrin
Now, back to the topic - I agree with RPM.
It is personal choice, the Grand Prix will go ahead no matter what, the corporate sponsorship is enormous, it will go on.
The petrol prices effect the normal people in life, prices for food, transport etc, and I will still use my car to go to work and visit customers etc.
