Michael about Imola 94. First time I see MS opening up like that...

The front end grip must have been very good..but it looked ridiculous
The P34's layout was, in the end, just a drag-reducing exercise by protecting the airflow from the rotating front wheels. There was no major advantage in terms of mechanical grip, because the contact patch from the four small fronts was roughly the same as the fronts on the regular 4-wheelers.
In the end, the lack of development on the front tire compounds was one of the factors that killed the P34.
Christ kid .. if you're going to quote everything basically verbatim, at least give credit to those you plagerise.
Your knowledge on this topic is basically here:

Anyone can google or wiki topics to appear like they know what they are on about...... at least I can say I SAW a Project 34 driven by Scheckter on Wide World of Sports when I was a kid, and still have the original Tomica 'dinky car' version of this car bought in 1977. This car was utterly fucking epic to see in the 70's, period.
lol you're hilarious.Christ kid .. if you're going to quote everything basically verbatim, at least give credit to those you plagerise.

It just happened that I phrased what I knew about the P34 in a similar way to whatever is on the page you linked to
what's wrong with me trying to learn as much as possible about the motorsport I love, and then post what I learned
What you 'learned'? What you reiterate is more like it .... there lies the difference. It's sad you don't see it that way. I see someone at 18 needing the accolades of his peers to underline the expertise on matters you could not possibly have any way of having knowledge of, except from the backs of others that were there witnessing firsthand accounts of the triumphs to document - for you to claim credit for 30 odd years later. That's what annoys me, expecting praise for your brilliance, when you are not any more brilliant than the next guy without DSL and a search engine .......................... and 5000+ posts.
It's like this DaHitch guy giving me a cookie ... thanks, I appreciate that ... but all you got is cookies. You'll recant tales and involve yourselves in heated debates of Senna and Prost, without actually been around to see firsthand any of the races, follow the press with the ongoing battles, read the mudslinging in the morning paper while having your coffee, watch Senna pout back to his Monaco flat ..... all you got is You Tube, Year in Reviews, and someone else telling you how great the era was ... but still ever the expert.
I won't last long around here posting .... I never do at places with so much bullshit from self proclaimed experts of a Sport they picked up 5 or 7 years ago.
I've been with this Sport for over 30 years, but since I don't have 5k in posts, or a following of sheeple, I don't have a sniff of what I'm talking about .... sucks to be me I guess, and that's just perfectly fine.
You're suggesting that Vikirad shouldn't talk about something he didn't see first-hand? Shit, I guess we should stop talking about WW2, WW1, hell we better go and burn all of those books about the Ancient Romans!*a whole lot of shit*
*load of crap*
