Planet 9

I was watching the Grand AM coverage from New Jersey on SPEED this weekend. Is it me or do you find it silly that a windshield wiper would malfunction on these cars and cause them to spend considerable time in the pits? I know things happen but come on! In some cases these are prototypes with hundreds of thousands of dollars wrapped up in them. Wouldn't you think they would make certain that an important system like this would be bulletproof? Or perhaps make it a modular component that could be easily and quickly replaced. Same thing with the windshield fogging problem that so many teams were experiencing. Can't they just find a way to overcome this? I would think that you would count on at least one rain race per season and govern yourself accordingly.

rant done

windshields fogging up??? sheesh..spit on it and rub it around, free and easy fix. Quick too.
