2008 F1 Season

[ctjet]

Going to Malaysia or Singapore to watch a race is going to cost a fortune

... You bastard Bernie

I hate you and your puppet mate Max

[Whiplash]

well i managed to source some team passes, now i have to make sure i'm over there before the race weekend

[Duncan]

no going to Malaysia or Singapore is cheaper than going to Melbourne. I was looking into the for the GT500 racing to see the R35 race. about $1500 for 6 days including airfares and hotels http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Su...l&hl=sepang

definately couldn't spend 6 nights in melbourne and see the gp for $1500.

[Whiplash]

depend where you stay and who you know to get tickets from.

speaking to David Richards the other day they are still not happy they are being stopped from running the ex McLaren Chassis. Williams are still the biggest campaigners against Prodrive. But i'm guessing being Berrnie which ever side has the most money will get their way

for sure. 6 nights in melbourne probably costs me $1500 in cans alone!

[dezz]

I'll be up for a trip to Malaysia to see the GP if thats what I have to do

[ctjet]

great, add Piquet to the idiotic "for sure" list

Do they get together with the MotoGP guys and make bets as to who can use it the most times in an answer

... ffs

Gees if I had a dollar for everytime a GP driver used the expression "for sure" or maximum...

Problem is that for the majority of them English is not their first languge & they get tutored in what to say by the PR people. Which means you either get a Kimi (pick one) saying nothing or generic gobshite instructed by the PR people.

Oh and since when does "top 11 finish" sound better than 11th?

[Beer Baron]

lol, maybe some people are tring for a bottom 11 finish this year?! button perhaps.

Well RBR are doomed. DC just came out and says he expects to be fighting Williams and Sauber-BMW for 3rd top team and frequesnt points hauls.

[ctjet]

im getting the impression its not even going to be that

[dezz]

haha me and my mate love it when they use 'for sure'

The best was a combo by either Kimi or it might've been Massa...

"I think so for sure we will be competitive" or something along those lines....Massa uses for sure HEAPS and he speaks like 8 languages...

the FW30 new livery

it amazes me that a team as small and underfunded as this turns out faster and MUCH better looking cars than most of the big spending factory backed teams *cough* honda and toyota *cough*

anyway... go nico in 08 bebe

Well atleast there is some more sponsorship stickers on it this year round. Hopefully the $'s are there to back it up. They took a bath financially a couple years ago when BMW did the dirty on them. I don't know why Toyota don't start writing some cheques for Frank. He hoses their factory team on far fewer dollars. Give him a few more & "factory" status (Like Renault used to do with Lotus) and he could get more sponsorship still.

Car looks good & the lap times are good. Drivers are quality. Everything looks to be in place for another improved year for the boys from Grove.

If this keeps up I may yet have to commit to some Nakajima merchandise.

[Whiplash]

1k for tickets.

1k for flights.

Staying with a mate of mine from boarding school who's family live in Singapore, his old man works on the offshore rigs so we got a roof over our heads...

Plus accomodation for the GP weekend was massively overpriced... Daylight fcking robbery...

I was only talking to a friend in Singapore the other day. They all still work and live in Bugis with out Singapore office looking out over part of the track. The problem is ticket prices as could probably get work to hook me uyp with airfares if i do a 2-3 month stint over there. Plus, so many funny places to go and drink
