Merge

Both articles are about the same thing. The only question seems to be which remains as the main article. -De Facto 11:25, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In fact they /are/ differennt cars. Railton Special has been edited to clarify. I've removed the merge request. - De Facto 16:31, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Template attempt

I've had a go at using the template and added info which I believe to be relevant. I'm having trouble with the code though and it's a bit of a mess. Not sure how to tidy it up and make it presentable for inclusion in the artical.

'all time lap record'

Does this mean it hit the highest speed or was the fastest around or both ? What then was the lap duration ?--— ⦿⨦⨀Tumadoireacht ^Talk/_Stalk 01:47, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A lap record is the time for a single fixed-distance lap. Andy Dingley (talk) 02:11, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Used for testing drogue parachutes

I once owned a booklet The 1933 24 Litre Napier Railton, Profile Publications Number 28, published in 1966. There's been a photograph in it showing the car with a device for testing drag chutes. ----141.13.170.175 (talk) 17:17, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
