I found some interesting F1 racing news. Several rules changes will be in
effect next year. ---------------------------------------Driver's are actually
going to start doing more of the driving ---car to pit telemetry - eliminated
from 2004 ---radio communication between team and driver to be allowed provided
1. the system is stand-alone and cannot transmit other data and 2. the
communications are open and accessible to the FIA and broadcasters ---traction
control and automatic gearboxes will no longer be allowed from half way through
the season - ie from the 2003 British Grand Prix ---launch control will end at
the same time provided the teams can all operate their current clutches
manually --------------------------------------- I also heard that they'll go
back to using slicks instead of tread. NO MORE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS! So, the
drivers WILL be driving their cars.
