A black livery can make any car look fast: http://img837.imageshack.us/img837/6350/199235perrymccarthyandr.jpg I was going to reply with a picture of an Andrea Moda, then I noticed that was an Andrea Moda. Wow, it really does look a great deal faster than it was. Also, how anyone can like that terr...

Possibly a bit like this then?

There was talk of that early this year, as now they aren't the works Mercedes team they are not obliged to run the chrome/silver...

http://archiv.rhein-zeitung.de/on/98/02/06/sport/news/mclarenneu.jpg I would have preferred this scheme for 97 instead of the Silver I remember telling my dad, after seeing the 97 car testing in McLaren Orange in F1 Racing, that they would racing in orange now, but then upon watching Qualifying ear...

I dont think Intersport lasted after 1989, Cellnet kind of demanded what drivers got selected, hence Vincenzo Sospiri, who was a Formula 3 Paydriver of all things!!! Intersport were demanded by Cellent for him to appear at all the venues that would have TV coverage back then, Intersport decided to ...

I like both versions of the Ligier JS39

Vettel... just like Martin Whitmarsh says, he is making errors that we usually see in F3... and to be in the best Grand Prix car of the last 5 years and still not have led the championship at any point in the last two years is ridiculous... This isn't just because I'm a Button fan, it's because Vett...

Now don't have a go at me, because I hate this livery and therefore it shouldn't be here, but i've put it in to further demonstrate why I loved the lines of the 99-01 F1 breed... Under the crappy paint job this Williams is a beauty! http://f1vietnam.com/forum/images/modimages/cars/williams/FW21_Supe...

The 2002 Jordan was a nice looking car, but my favourite Jordan is the 2001 model...

I love the sharp lines of the cars from 1999 to 2001... then Ferrari changed the rules with their massive step forward in the F2002...

I'd like to see Rmmmnnn Grrrsjnnn back in an F1 seat... he's one of the major 'yoof' talents, and has done a damn sight more in his Junior career than the likes of Chandhok, Petrov, Senna and Alguersuari... He needed more seat time, and suffered from being in the maelstrom of Renault's meltdown last...

http://images.forum-auto.com/mesimages/196289/bt55_1.jpg This is just epically beautiful... and it was slow too so we got a good look at it!!! I'm also a fan of the 94 Larousse too... though not in the Kronenbourg livery Anyone else like the Brawn? Especially with that Canon sticker on the side in ...

Didn't know about that!! Imagine if Ferrari and Lotus had made the commitment to join CART and had done well unlike Porsche and Alfa Romeo, it would've been even better at it's peak in the early 90's!

Pau's still active, the WTCC go there - they skipped this year, but they'd been there regularly up to 2009. Will they ever go back after the ridiculous 'Safety car takes out leading driver' incident last year though?! Doubt it... Pau looks to have had it's day on the international scene... even F3 ...

danardif1

They had done quite a bit of research into the project as well... They had hired Bobby Rahal and the Truesports team to come to Fiorano and showcase their March car, and see what Indy racing would require... They were being lined up to be the ones to run the 637 as well, kind of like a Ferrari Team ...

danardif1

Happy with that... the Midland is quite a nimble little car, and the scream that that Toyota block chucks out from the slow bends is awesome...

danardif1

Does the FIA have to accept anyone this time around? Of course they don't... if they don't think the entrants are good enough to compete with sustainable finance and infrastructure they can tell them no thanks, especially after the failings of the system last year (though the FIA can be forgiven fo...

Are we ever gonna get the results of this race? Or have I missed something....???

danardif1

There's still that never-say-die attitude that I like from Stefan GP, but they are still just conmen right? Their 'yearly profit' of whatever it was, 500 euro or something like that, isn't enough to even put the €1000 initial entry fee!... Looks like the FIA priced Stefan out of the competition Seri...

At least Sakon has some genuine F1 experience, in a low-budget team. He might not be the quickest, but if he has enough money, and Kolles rated his feedback well enough last time he was in F1, then sure why not... I don't think he'll be any quicker than Bruno or Karun, but it's one more opinion, one...

This wouldn't slip through in the modern era of Whole Spanish Press censorship on anything demeaning or negative against any Spanish racing driver... In this article we are harking back to a more free time!

And can I offer myself as Technical Consultant (most of my knowledge is about as old as that car)... or just Smirnoff-bottle holder...??? As I stated earlier when we discussed this matter , I could be the team's Chief of Security. I'm of heavy build, I can shoot a gun and can stay awake at night. I...

Oh darn, wet weather with the 06 STR and my own issues with the weather on this particular game (the issue being it never gives me the results I want!! ) So far I'd got lucky with the cars I was given... The Williams was great for Barcelona, and the Soopah Aguri was very nimble at Monaco, where the...

Hire me and you'll have Smirnoff as official team supplier and also a $2 million sponsorship deal. If we had Smirnoff as an official supplier, I think that we could probably tempt Kimi back from the WRC... Anyway, whilst the argument for who gets to drive continues, may I remind you that without a ...

Spa Francorchamps would be intense backwards, especially Eau Rouge. Monaco would be very challenging, especially the last corner, which would become the first. Indianapolis would be interesting as the first corner would be the banked corner. I'd like to see A1 Ring backwards as well. I thought abou...

They said "experienced drivers" so they'll turn into Nissany himself. It's just a shame that Nissany's 'experience' is only in life, not in his 'driving' Also @mario, are Dallara doing the development work, because I have heard repeatedly over the last couple of months that Dallara essent...

Interlagos would be fun, climbing back up the hill where the Senna S is.

I can't understand how I won the race by 15 seconds, but still did a race time 30 seconds slower than kostas22?? I was doing mid-13's to mid-12's all race, nailed the pitstop, did everything!! Over 24 laps I'd have to do 1.11's !!! I could only do a few in qualifying trim... and I thought I was a M...

Looking at Willis' comments regarding the car: I think that Kolles would've made sure this car got to the grid by utilising his other teams more mechanical knowledge, perhaps using cheaper and heavier materials on components (I've heard that the suspension wishbones are carrying 20kg too much weight...

It is great! It's very a reassuring presence, I've missed having the little team at the back that any old Tom, Dick or Harry can become a driver for. Even the crap ones like Force India (used to be) and Toro Rosso seem pretty corporate - the Algesuaris of this world seem more boringly adequate than...

Well what about setting a certain number of configurations for engines... say 2.4 V8, 2.0 V10, 1.5 L4 Turbo, 3.0 V6 etc. etc. and then saying, here's 150 litres of fuel for the race... make it work... you'd get differences in power, consumption, torque curves. Couple that to a GP2-style floor that t...

danardif1

And not only that, but the GP2 cars run on the same circuits as the F1 cars, and are still able to pass (or at least that is the case for most circuits - even they can't pass that much when they go to Valencia). Considering how the FIA have effectively made the front part of the floor a standard pa...

He is a bit rusty, ala Schumi, and having only driven Soopah Aguri's and the odd Toro Rosso, he needs time to get back his Kobayashi-bashing skills!!

Firestone in NASCAR? I've been watching NASCAR for almost 20 years and I don't recall a single Firestone tire in NASCAR! The aero rules don't encourage overtaking. Simple as that. F1 needs new aero rules, or, better yet, a spec chassis like the IRL has that actually allows cars to pass each other i...
