hmmm....... that did look fun, i'm not sure it would be as pretty with a 2.4litre v8 as it was with a 100cc 2stroke though!

senna was awesome though, that throttle stabbing stuff he did was so cool, it looks like the opposie of cadence braking, puting the car into a corner then flooring it till you start to lose traction, then off to regain, then repeat until you reach the end of the corner...

Btw, Schumacher knows the trick too, just recently I did see clip from document where was analyzed his driving and it is similar technique as Senna's.

Of course engine rpm and power would come bit down if we remove wings but I think it really does not matter how much power car has, there is so much more important things and currently F1 is boring scaletrix racing because of wings, also there has been very many deaths because of wings, so I'm 100% against wings, those fit only to airplanes :D
