dezz Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 i have to say they weren't as disapointing as i expected....cant really give a full on opinion coz i didnt get to go this year to hear em in real life, but they definitely sound better than i was expecting.....still not the same as the V10's, but still good Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/104240-2006-f1-season/page/11/#findComment-2073576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Baron Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 i thought they sounded a little lame on tv (for some reason they always do) but in real life they are farking awesome. like i said, i reckon as good as or better than the V10s.

Roy Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 I couldnt even tell the difference between the V10s and the V8s when they drove by. The V8s sounded great Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/104240-2006-f1-season/page/11/#findComment-2073674 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I never heard the v10s but the v8s sounded just fine to me rofl about "we only sell f1 merch" how many people asked Super who? that day hahahaha Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/104240-2006-f1-season/page/11/#findComment-2074174 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frink Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Just found out that Toyota have "suspended indefinately" Mike Gascoyne for what has been said to be a "difference of opinion"... go figure.

Frink Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 strange this one. apparently his views on the technical running of the team was different to that of the toyota "bill payers" view of how it should be done. if i was a smaller team, i'd be snapping him up pretty damn quickly!

gtr660hp Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 (edited) Gascoyne gonskiii!! oh well 8 mill pounds per year saved Yep V8's did sound good There are 22 teams showing interest for 2008 and beyond Hmmm........ 44 F1 cars going around-oh the sound!! I wish-the limit is for 12 teams only Bring back Stoddard Edited April 6, 2006 by gtr660hp Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/104240-2006-f1-season/page/11/#findComment-2077352 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I'm sure they are all just putting in entries in case they become interested or a market develops from teams without entires wanting in. The fact is though that Max Mosely has won the battle, he has enough team that he doesn't need the manufacturers...their bargaining position is shot now.

ctjet Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 30 cars (or 15 teams) should be the limit for F1. anymore than that and you'll get way too many barkmarkers. that way the top ten actually means somthing not like now Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/104240-2006-f1-season/page/11/#findComment-2080357 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I totally disagree, I love huge fields in any category it makes it waaaay more interesting....just like Bathurst was in the group C and A days with corollas racing against the v8s and everything in between. Most top categories these days struggle to make 30 entries, for so long f1 was 20, supercars are only 32, dtm 30 and btcc about 15. pretty piss poor Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/104240-2006-f1-season/page/11/#findComment-2081008 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasnt 100% fit so i think when he is at 100% fitness and they get tyres right etc he will finish on podium more often then not Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/104240-2006-f1-season/page/11/#findComment-2081949 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctjet Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 i dont know about you ppl but how is that teams like Mclaren and Renualt can do in excess of 1400 kms with a single engine in testing, but when it comes to race weekends you dont see shit?? keep in mind a race distance is 300kms ant they do about 100kms in practice and qualifying, so why dont we see a bit more of them in the first couple of practices? surely it would benifit them to get the most track info they can out of a weekend? but no apparently Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/104240-2006-f1-season/page/11/#findComment-2082864 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabe Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 The lack of big names in testing etc is one reason that i am not too much of a fan of the 2 race engine concpet. In theory it is good in that i bridges that gap between teams but now we have had time to see it in practice i think that most people would agree it is not all that good. Imagine Honda asking button to pull off from a points finish so that he does not get penalised for the next race. Crazy. And what is with the new 5 year freeze on engine development. Sure it saves costs but if hardly makes it F1 anymore. It is sad to think that they are going to retard one of the most exciting bits of F1...Technology.

gtr660hp Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 The 2 race engine rule is fk crap. This rule has gotta go-NOW. Sitting around Albert park looking at a near empty track on Friday and Sat at times nowing teams are saving their engines is a disgrace. No one is saving money in F1 from this rule_all it achieves is shitty payin fans sitting around a deserted race track Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/104240-2006-f1-season/page/11/#findComment-2086868 Share on other sites More sharing options...
