  1. meh manufacturers always come and go in f1, ferrari included. they aren't really the backbone of f1, the innovative motorsport engineer teams are. the place would be much better if the manufacturers left, budgets would immediately fall by miles

    Yeah I dont know what year that was??? Sorry incorrect

    Scuderia Ferrari

    Debut: Monaco 1950

    Drivers' titles: 15

    Constructors' titles: 16

    Races Competed: 775

    Wins: 209

    Pole positions: 203

  2. what are these rumours of toyota pulling out?

    There are rumours in Japan Toyota are thinking about 09 as their last. The just made their first loss in the history of the company. Lets face it being in F1 doesnt help sell Camrys really. F1 has become obsolute and incredibly boring to watch. I reckon Toyota could put the 200 mill a year to better use.

  3. I heard the same crap last time at willowbank....my brand new Shoei X11 worth $1100 is good enough for Chris Vermulan on a bike at 300kph but not good enough in a 12 sec car according to Willowbank staff...what a load of bullshit :P It was ok for the numnuts in his 12 sec Commy to wear Dunlop Volleys as race shoes on the same day. They didnt say boo to him but I got picked up on my helmet.

    Back on topic...Mark at Godzilla is the best...the only guy to see

  4. This is just the start of what may turn out to be a mass exodus of factory teams from top level motorsport.......Honda gone from F1 (rumours of Toyota about to follow). Subbie and Suzuki gone from WRC (with rumours of a wll known French factory thinking along the same lines)

  5. What a shame to lose skaify and Oran Park in one weekend. It's sad to see a place with so much history get taken over by houses as they did to amaroo park years ago. I remember riding a push bike around amaroo park as a 5 year old. I don't know where they expect us to go when they take away a place like OP and Calder is going the same way too. The options are drying up...

    I didn't like skaife when he was winning but that because he was so good. It's sad to see him retire on a down year. I reckon he's still got it, just needs to be away from the politics.

    Paul Morris. Meh... Good riddence. I never liked him.

    Also a shame for Mark to finish up broke and owing money.

    Morris on the other hand richer than ever

  6. is it just me or does it feel like F1 is dying? everything happening now seems completely against the whole spirit and attraction of the sport. :(

    With Honda gone Bernie has to wake up and smell the coffee. F1 has run its course in its current (stupid expensive) form and will have to change to survive. The new proposed regs may be a start.

  7. According to yesterdays Auto Fiction teams with technical alliances will no longer be grouped for testing purposes...

    What the hell prompted that? Team Walkinshaw needs to have more than 6 entries? Or have they just given up & resigned themselves to the fact that the series is organised for the sole benefit of HRT. I cannot believe that the likes of Larry Perkins, Dick Johnson or even Garry Rogers would have gone along with that. Sorry guys but you now need to enter 6 cars to have any hope in hell of being competitive.

    Actually scratch that comment about Rogers - he needs to pay for his engines somehow.

    Yep another crap decision that favours the big teams

  8. We have a couple of mid pack Level 1 guys we are speaking to and most not real keen for many reasons...i have a snaeking feeling some of those reasons are they might not be quicker or much quicker than some of the Fujitsu guys ha ha....egos wont allow for that :P

  9. ^^^^^ believe me there is no one more frustrated than us...we are sick of the changes with the points and I agree 07 was the best system and now they are going back to basically the old system again..,..and no they are not dropping their worst round at least

    The best ever though is the Wakefield Fujitsu round this year looks like being a 500klm race with 2 drivers of which one driver is to be a level one driver ha ha...what a joke...I cant see too many level one guys putting thier hand up for that one.
