Parni valjak, Hladno pivo i Crooks Straights na dočeku Nove godine na otvorenom u Rijeci

Program počinje nastupom skupine Crooks Straights u 22 sata, nastavlja se Parnim valjkom od 23,00 do 01,00, a od 01,00 do 03,00 završava sa Hladnim pivom.

Korzo u 19 h udomaćuje Crooks Straights, riječku country grupu iz Rijeke, a na Starom gradu sviraju Pips, Chips Videoclips dobro nam znana moderna hrvatska pop skupina, za koju vole reći da je istovremeno stilski raznovrsna, tematski provokativna i vizualno atraktivna

It s unique because it includes very long straights where we reach more than 300 km/h and there are the famous corners, Parabolica and Lesmo.

I think it won t be easy for us, due to the long straights, but I m sure we will do our best and keep fighting until the end.

The car was good in the corners but I have no clue why we lost so significantly on the straights.

Na LAR-u će nastupiti Vesna Kartelo, Loulou Djine, Daniela Kaplowitz Jazz bend, U2 cover band, Loell Duinn, Crooks and straights, RHCP cover band, Sick Swing Orchestra, Elvis Prisley tribute band, Nola, Ziuzao

We know that on the straights we probably are not the fastest, but then anything can happen in a race, especially on such a demanding track.

SV: If that were true I would eliminate the straights and add some more corners to it

The rumours suggest the drivers left braking leg, which sits unused on long straights could be used to alter the flow from the snorkel to the rear wing duct, where a valve alters flow through the blown slot to stall the rear wing. This would reduce downforce and also drag, which would allow a higher top speed.

It ' s a crazy thing to be a racing driver - on the one hand you ' re scared, but on the other, you ' re having the time of your life because every moment you ' re right on the edge, even on the straights.

Kao predgrupa nastupit će riječka country skupina Crooks Straights koja je ove godine osvojila prvo mjesto ma međunarodnom natjecanju kao najbolja country rock skupina u Europi.

It will be very tight, and the lap is quite short here, with many straights and many corners, so the gap between the cars will be very small

SV: Like everywhere else this season - when it comes to corners the advantage is ours and when it comes to straights it s theirs, even if I have to say that over the last couple of races we made quite a significant leap forward when it comes to straights, as our F-duct system was constantly improving. My guess is that this will also play an important role this weekend, on the part where the track goes uphill.

Evo kako su ovogodišnju utrku i belgijsku stazu opisali na jednom F1 web portalu: " It was the race of the year and all thanks to the Spa circuit which has everything - fast corners, long straights, changes of altitude, history, and best of all, unpredictable weather. " O ardenskim vremenskim prilikama mogla bih napisati čitav esej, ali zadržat ću se na samo tri riječi: kiša, vjetar i HLADNO

It is no secret that we are not the fastest on the straights - but we can make that good in the corners - and we do

" I did think about running a one-stop strategy, but all that fuel weight would have been too punishing for the brakes because there are no long straights here to keep them cool.

Interrupt the blowing and the upper wing stalls reducing downforce drag for increased speed down the straights.

Crooks Straights postoji od listopada 1999., a nakon nekih nastupa u Hrvatskoj i inozemstvu, grupa je debitirala s prvom snimkom na međunarodnoj sceni, na CD-u " International Country Music Sampler " u listopadu 2002., u izdanju neovisne diskografske kuće Comstock Records iz Fountain Hillsa, Arizona.

SV: We know that the McLaren has a good top speed, and that they are quicker on the straights, but we are faster through the corners.

Sve ovo je malo pokvarilo veseli dojam utorka koji će ostati u lijepom sjećanju po belgijskoj bubnjarskoj skupini Lokomotiv i njihova dva upečatljiva nastupa na Trgu tradicijskih obrta, a ni country Riječani Crooks and Straights nisu požalili što su zasvirali na Korzu

Looking ahead to Valencia, the circuit is similar to Montreal in many ways with long straights connected by slow corners which should suit our car

The footage shows the wing being forced towards the track surface on the straights and flexing back to a more upright position under braking. The rear wing debate is the closing of the rear elements at speed

The next two tracks, Montreal and Valencia, have a lot of corners, but also a couple of big straights, so they are both medium downforce level tracks.

Najveći uspjeh Crooks Straights su postigli na 23. europskom natjecanju country glazbe, ' Picnic Country - Europa Contest ' održanom u Poljskoj 2004. godine kada su u konkurenciji country grupa iz čitave Europe osvojili prvo mjesto

Your rivals are stronger on the straights..

Riječka country skupina Crooks Straights svoju će desetu obljetnicu postojanja proslaviti i koncertom u HKD-u na Sušaku, koji će se održati ove subote, 6. veljače, počevši u 20:30 sati
