    If it looks like the track has never been used then yes, the curbs will be too clean. But that's just a rhetorical answer, of course. If it's meant to be a serious memorial to the "fallen," we may want to disable real road and keep it squeaky clean like a well-groomed cemetery.

    Whether the drivers are alive or dead, eventually they will be dead. All you're saying is that the manner of their death matters more than the driver.

    I agree with this. My suggestion was purely based on the fact that Allan Simonsen's death is a significant loss to the sport that has occurred during rF2's lifetime. On that basis, and given that ISI are obviously minded to give corners of the revised Mills "tribute names" it seemed appropriate - to me.

    In the end... what does it matter? I thought this forum had grown up enough to not bicker at trivial things....I was wrong!

    It doesn't matter squat in the slightest for most of us but some people feel the need to to find a fault somewhere with every little thing, god forbid they won the lottery and found a reason to whine at that :D


    ANYWAY, top work as ever Track team,keep up the great work.

    It does give one hope for Essington and Toban, doesn't it? Very promising.

    I was hoping for a concession stand that sells Bandini barbeque but instead we just get corners with driver names.

    Frankly the only thing that matters in the naming of these turns, is to the person making the tribute. He's doing what he chose to do.

    Nobody here gives a crap about anyone from my family who has died, because you didn't know them. If I don't follow a particular sport, type of motorsport, I'd be disconnected from a fatality in that as well. Whoever he felt a connection to, and wanted to, will be where he wants it. End of discussion I think...

    The avatar seems appropriate with comments like that one.

    I probably shouldn't have typed it but I was attempting to be ridiculously sarcastic about the comments saying they shouldn't name corners after famous drivers who have passed on.

    To be honest (my personal oppinion), naming more than one turn/curve after a passed driver, have a little bit of inflationary...

    Doesn't take long to figure out people will complain about anything and everything about here.

    Complaints may be opinions and/or matters of judgement--and are always debatable. But vacuous comments that do nothing but complain that others are complaining or that provide sarcastic comments unrelated to the actual conversation are always a waste of everyone's time.

    The real important question about Mills is, did they finally finish building the grandstands? Those damn cranes... :p

    It would be normal if the track was located in Italy.
