Curiosity Topic - Air New Zealand's New Plane

Recently Air NZ got a new plane from Airbus. Even though it came nearly a year late *coughs*, I'm still excited.

It pretty cool. This is the second Air New Zealand plane to be first delivered with an all-black livery on it. Second after the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner

Air New Zealand has 6 more a321neo's and 6 a320neo's on order and they will take up the roles of trans-Tasman and Pacific Island routes

I wonder how could Jurassic World have been saved?

So I got a new game, Jurassic World Evolution
Image result for jurassic world evolution logo

and it is fun. You get to build your own Jurassic World and succeed where the original Jurassic World failed. But that made me wonder, how did the OG Jurassic World fail, and how could it be saved.

The main idea of Jurassic World is they create a new dinosaur called the Indomonius Rex, that is a mix of many different dinosaurs to make the ultimate dino, but it is so intelligent that it creates a plane escape its enclosure and wreck havoc on Isla Nublar. It works and many people die. But why did it break out?

The Indominous Rex is made of many different dinosaurs, including, Tyrannosaurus rex, Giganotosaurus, Spinosaurus and announced at the end of the movie, Velociraptor. These are some of the most vicious dinosaurs to ever roam the planet, all mixed into one. Tha is a recipe for disaster. The best way to stop this from happening is to not have made the I-Rex at all, and stop that from happening is to not have let Masrani in charge as he is the one who asked for the creation of the I-Rex. But the man who oversaw the creation of the dino was Dr Henry Wu. If he had been fired after the events of Jurassic Park the I-Rex would have never been made as any other Scientist would have resisted the large sum of money (maybe) to make the I-Rex and Jurassic World would still be open

So that is my post about how Jurassic World could have been saved. I hope you enjoyed and I really want to watch the second movie so like and subscribe

I wonder what is the best way to win the Le Mans 24 hour race

Le Mans was recently on, and it was cool. 24 hours of non-stop racing, long pit stops and funny radio comments, and that makes me wonder, what is the winning formula (one) of the Le Mans 24 Hour, so some time

and some facts













and I'll find out.

The most important thing is speed, and the fastest cars are the lmp1 cars

In the latest race, the number 8 Toyota LMP1 won the race. LMP, by the way, stands for Le Mans Prototype. They are hybrid cars that can travel up to 416 km/h, which is very fast. So that is the best car.

Next is drivers and crew. You need top drivers who are experienced that know the circuit very well,
know the brake markers and the best passing spots. Say, Sebastian Bourdais. It is his home track as he was born in Le Mans, France. He has been in it for almost 10 races and has won it 1 or 2 times in his class, so he is on the team. Next, let's take another person, a more recent winner. Take Fernando Alonso. Two time Formula One champion and 2018 overall Le Mans 24hr winner. He put the 2018 Toyota LMP1 team on the first spot of the grid and helped them to victory. And to complete the team of three, Earl Bamber. He is from New Zealand and has won the race twice overall and the Bathurst 12 hour twice in his class. He is also the 2017 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) winner and does very well in sports car racing.

So the driver line up is:

Sebastien Bourdais                   Fernando Alonso                         Earl Bamber

You also need a good pit crew to do a good pit stop and get out in front of the other cars so you can win Le Mans, but I don't know much about that so I'll just use the Toyota Crew.

And that is about it to win the Le Mans 24 Hour. You need a good car, three highly skilled drivers and the best crew around. I'm so excited for the 2019 Le Mans 24 hour and who know's, maybe my dream team will be there.

I wonder who was the cause of the 2018 Canadian Grand Prix Lap 1 crash

So the Canadian Grand Prix was recently on and the only kiwi in it crashed on the first lap. Brendon Hartley was trying to go around the outside of home driver Lance Stroll. It is said Stroll had oversteer and nearly turned into the wall (not really though) and had to turn away as Hartley was on his outside. The result was this.

Race control said the accident was no one's fault and to let it be. Claire Williams, Deputy of Williams F1 which is the team that Stroll belongs to, said it was Hartley's fault. But many are opposing.

Now comes to me, I have come to solve it. I will study all angles of the crash and solve who's fault it was.

So it was decided and proven by Stroll himself he had understeer












As you can see Stroll was turning left on a right turn, meaning he was trying not to turn in to the wall












In this photo, you can see that Stroll in the white car is sideways, further proof he had oversteer











At the point of impact, Hartley was still trying to turn away from the wall. This suggests that this

Was Stroll's fault.

Like my dad always says, the day you don't look for a gap to get past is the day you don't belong in the car.

And that concludes my curiosity topic, that the lap one crash in Canada was Lance Stroll's fault rather than Brendon Hartleys. So you were wrong Claire Williams, it wasn't Hartley's fault. And I really hope that Hartley does better in France.

I wonder how the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve got it's name

So the Canadian Grand Prix is coming up and I am so ready for the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. But every time I hear the name I wonder why, why did the Canadians call it the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

Where is it?

It is in the middle of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. And it started hosting the GP in 1978 after safety concerns came out at Mosport Park which held the GP before it.

What is its history?

The circuit was originally called  Île Notre-Dame Circuit, after the island it is situated on, Île Notre-Dame. But in 1982 the circuit was renamed Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in honour of Gilles Villeneuve who died that year.

Who was Gilles Villeneuve?

Gilles Villeneuve was a Canadian Formula 1 driver who won only six Grand Prix in his short career. His first race was at the 1977 British Grand Prix where he raced for McLaren. He made his professional debut the year after full time with the Ferrari team. He raced until his death in 1982 at qualifying for the Belgium Grand Prix after colliding with Jochen Mass at the Zolder circuit. He was 32 years old. He was an idol and hero to many including his son Jaques Villeneuve, wherein 1997 became the first and only Canadian to win the F1 World Championship.

To commemorate him the start finish was decorated with a saying.



Salut Gilles, French for Hello Gilles, talking to him above


I wonder how much did it cost to build Yas Island

Yas Island in Abu Dhabi is a man-made island that was built in 2006 and onwards (as it is forever growing). It is an island that has initial means of leisure and comfort/relaxation. It is home to the 235,000 square metre mall, Yas Mall, the theme park with the worlds fastest roller coaster, Ferrari world and the most expensive race track in the world, Yas Marina Circuit. The island currently 25 square kilometres.

I looked around for a while and finally came to the decision that  I was stupid because I didn't realise that it is still being built so the total cost isn't officially released. But I estimated that with the costs of all the buildings and things it would be over $20 Billion.

Thank you for reading my blog.

I wonder how much it cost to build the Yas Marina Circuit

In 2009 there was a new race track opened in the United Arab Emirates. It was claimed it was the most expensive race track in the world. That made me wonder, how much did the Yas Marina Circuit cost to build.

I was searching the web and found Ameinfo.com. The article was titled Yas Marina Circuit: 11 things to know about the route to the F1 championship. It has many interesting facts including, the participants in the F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix drive 55 laps around the 5.554 km track and do an estimated 305.355 km before finishing. But it also displayed my answer, it costed a total of $1.3 Billion to construct over a 2 year period.

The island that the track is situated on is Yas Island, a man-made island, now I wonder how much did it cost to build Yas island and why it was built.
