Talk:Formula Two

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Anachronism

I have removed Mercedes-Benz from the following line within Official Beginnings (Post war-1953) "This encouraged new marques such as Cooper to move up to Formula Two, rather than to compete against the big manufacturers of Mercedes-Benz, Alfa Romeo, and Maserati." Mercedes Benz did not return to racing until the French GP of 1954.--Timetrial 16:30, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Unsupercharged"

I am not sure if this word is used regarding this kind of cars, but the common phrase used to describe engines that don't have a supercharger or turbocharger is "normally aspirated". PerDaniel 00:21, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

You are right that the modern term is "normally aspirated" but I used the term that is common in most of the books I own describing racing of the immediate post-war era Pete Fenelon 23:08, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
