    Mmmm... then they´re not very good at keeping secrets if they´re showing to the visitors their car for next season.

    True. The lady showing us round wasn't very happy with the lad in their fabrication dept who pointed out that he was working on next years nose!

    The Indy covers look awful and are pointless. They need to clamp down on the caliber of the teams and people involved more then instating silly bumpers to avoid contact.

    Does anyone know if the FIA has an engineer or aero guy on the books to provide basic renderings of what the rules might give birth to? I feel like they just do as the please and move the dimensional volume areas around, but nobody ever looks at what it might produce. Don't show the teams so they still come up with their own car but the FIA and F1 management should at least have some idea of what the things look like. Its part of your overall image.

    And every woman is anatomically able to give you a party in your pants, but who would you rather get it from? Kate Upton or Lisa Lampanelli?

    That looks good to me, but I like the 1976 P34 more than the 1977.

    Weird, isn't it? They seem hellbent on making the sport as boring and contrived as possible. Now they say if Pirelli gets too conservative with tires FIA may mandate a minimum number of pit stops. Oh, joy....less racing but more tire changing! Woohoo!!

    The P34 was a piece of elegant innovation from a time when engineers weren't constricted by a ridiculous set of regulations.

    If I could have my cake and eat it too? Of course Upton.
    But... what I'm stating is that with all the whining it sounds like we'd rather have function following form.

    Hell, if she could win some races, I'd even even "drive" Roseanne Barr! (pun intended)

    Yes I do.

    And your picture is quite fitting as this was all the competition ever saw.

    As Berger once said: We drivers would be willing to sit outside of the cockpit in front of the car if it would make it any faster.

    Winning is the only thing!

    For some reason, I've always liked the BT46B. While not the most practical car built, I loved the out-of-the-box thought behind it.

    Not to mention it's never been defeated on an F1 track...

    When Seb says that people cringe.
    ;)

    Today's F1, being more a business than a sport, values stability much more than innovation. Our loss.

    I though it was about "winning" .............


    Must have missed the Memo where "Style Points" would determine the World Championship.

    Sorry.



    Maybe I should stay outta this section for longer periods. :eek:
