Should F1 Run Trailers?

[555-04Q2]

With all the stupid threads around about canopies, coupe's etc...why not run trailers behind the cars.

It will cut costs in F1 as they have been requesting as the driver would have to tow his trailer behind his F1 car and the lighter and smaller the trailer the faster they will be. No more expensive shower systems, TV's, couches etc.

I think it's a far better idea than the stupid ones mentioned above :p :

F1 caravan racing?

F1 caravan racing?

Take out the bridge at Suzuka to make it a figure-of-8 track and I think we'd have something there.

[ioan]

Definitely, and they have to tow their tires for the pit stops in there for the whole race. Losing the trailer would mean no more tire changes for that car!
Great idea, make sure you send it to Bernie and he will mention it in his next interview along with medals! :D

[ioan]

I don't think you are taking this thread seriously ioan!! Give me a practical reason how towing a trailer would affect the racing? :eek: :p

I'll be damned! You are right for once! :p
I guess I didn't hide the sarcasm very well! :D

[Daniel]

Don't give Bernie ideas. You could fit sponsorship on the trailers :rolleyes:

Great, even better!
You have to think about poor teams like Williams who could make good use to get some more money to fund their way back to the top of the heap! :D

[Dave B]

With a caravan, the DRS would be next to useless which would please many!

what about F1 cars towing Airbus A380's

[markabilly]

the more important question is two wheels or four wheels.

they will not fit within the confines of monaco...

[SGWilko]

The A380's would be airborne while being towed. a slot will be cut in the tunnel to accomodate the towing cable.

[markabilly]

passing and getting the towing wires all tangled up would lead to some big crashes

You're da man, if you figure a way to make it possible.

Just think of all the 'one hour specials' Mr T could present on 'Bernies Whacky Races'.........

Who would play Dick Dastardly? More importantly, who would play Muttley???

Just run a grid of Veyron's and be done with it. Its the cheapest option by far and will tick every box that this thread series can come up with.

Obviously for trailer's they'd have to purchase the towing kit...

[Allyc85]

Yes, imagine the slipstream they could get! ;)

[SGWilko]

You'd have to go back a couple of years, then it'd be Mosely for Dick, and Ecclestone for Muttley.

Stewards would be the keystone cops, and Piquet Jnr would be Penelope Pitstop....

I think we need to the Top Gear boy's to make this happen. I mean "How hard can it be?"

[Mia 01]

I think I watched some race where this already happen. At the end of the race the trailers where a completely mess.

Thoose kind of races demand a very smoth driver, Jenson?

[tfp]

That would be especially annoying for the drivers, especially when they get stuck behind an old fart with a caravan:-)

Jarno Trull springs to mind.

The Trulli Train with Caravans. :p :

I still think F1 should run bicycles, I mean it would be safe and nobody would need to worry about open cockpits and other silly things. :rolleyes:

"Don't say that!"

Naah, single wheel, teardrop style trailers.

Can you imagine what an F1 team designed trailer would look like??

[nigelred5]

They's already raced caravans, Busses, semi's,,, Why not. Get a few former F1 cars and a 1K budget and make it happen!!

Good lord, how many times has Webber proven that wrong??

Maybe Webber should put a canopy over his bike :laugh:

[F16]

or get it connected to a gas filled big balloon, travels with the wind. :)

Some of the drivers already got a bit of trailer on their back. And then their is the monkeys

[TheFamousEccles]

Trailers? What a good idea! And maybe a Bugs Bunny cartoon and a news-reel....

Should F1 run a bath?

Should F1 run a bean.

Great idea!!! Problem is though, the sidecar passengers will cr@p themselves they see Hamilton coming up to overtake :laugh:

So, should we incorporate a toilet into the sidecar?

:laugh: Hey, i don't mind, however, I think the drivers may have a comment or two on this new idea :laugh:

Kimi wouldn't have had to tell everyone about it

We could call it a Sports Trailer in the same vein as that Sports Train thing.
