[edit] Racing car template

I've had a stab at a template for racing cars (see template:Racing car) to summarise the usual data. I've used the F1 templates as a starting point and applied it to the Brabham BT46 article. If anyone's got an interest in this, please have a look at the template and modify or suggest changes as appropriate. After a few people have had a go at it and we have something we're happy with we could start to use it more widely. Note that it's not meant to be specific to F1, by the way. Cheers. 4u1e 10:06, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tone tag

I added {{tone}} tag - I have concern over the 'endorsement' of DPFs on Peugeot road cars, and feel that it may constitute as an advertisement. -- Teutonic_Tamer (talk to Teutonic_Tamer) 07:29, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

I believe the mention of the particulate filters being related to the road cars is made because when the 908 was first launched (the red/white mockup) and they displayed the engine for the first time, each filters had plaques denoting that they were the 1,195,520th and 1,195,521st particulate filters that Peugeot created, in an attempt to promote how good their road diesels were.
It is a bit trivial and some of the section could be cut out, but it might be worth mentioning that the filters are similar in some fashion to the filters used on Peugeot road cars. The359 (talk) 07:41, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
OK - I just highlighted it because someone else picked me up on something similar. Maybe leave the tag for a few weeks, and if no one else complains, then delete the tag. -- Teutonic_Tamer (talk to Teutonic_Tamer) 11:20, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
