It would seem Sean was taken by surprise by the sudden lift .... [&:]

Apparently the Water Cooled Drivers know where it hurts most!
 
OK, but naughty bit of retaliation from Sean!!! No wonder HE was fined....[&:]

The other Guy should have been disqualified!

What? for lifting so that the guy behind runs into you? There wouldnt be any racers left. [:D]. Not nice, but one of the tools from the dirty tricks toolbox. Esp, for Carrera cup where the cars are so vulnerable at the front.

AFAIK he was fined for spraying his coolant on the track and not withdrawing. He brought the car home - without coolant. Goodbye engine.
 
Yeah he was dsq and fined for not stopping and resultant coolant on track caused another accident...so I read somewhere

Done that, not in a porsche, and not an as expensive engine, but the dont stop until it wont philosophy is right in many circumstances.
 
Why do they run with anti-freeze if they never go out in the cold? It they ran water only they would not mess up the track when the radiators get panned in.

Sean would then have kept his points for 6th.
 
"Definition: Antifreeze, also called coolant, is the colored fluid (usually green or red) found in your radiator. Antifreeze serves a few purposes. The most important and known is keeping the water in your radiator and engine from freezing in cold temps. It also keeps that same water from boiling over in the summer. Radiators are normally filled with a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and water. The third function of antifreeze, or coolant is lubrication -- it lubricates the moving parts it comes in contact with, like the water pump."

So there is some lubrication qualities to help the water pump but having hit some coolant at Spa it is pretty lethal especially to bikers.
 

OK, Coolant / Antifreeze....I guess my point was race teams want to use something that is more effecient than water at keeping a car cool and are not interested in the Antifreeze elements of product. Whilst this provides an advantage to running cars and is within regs, people will use it. There are also several products on the market aimed at purely delivering a better than water performance, under high temperates, as per racecool or 100% waterless.

The site below (although a sales pitch) details why race teams use this stuff.

Agree its slippy, at least its visible, I think some bike series ban it, due to the implications of coming off a bike on it.
