you'll have to outbid adrian campos (GP2 team owner trying to start a spanish F1 team), as hes already announced his intent on buying most of the auction offerings.

whats he going to do with a 6 year old chassis

[mads]

Well now it's going to be a laser penis measuring arm to make sure the captain conforms to the ladies' standards. Which it won't.

[Nacho]

whats he going to do with a 6 year old chassis

If it's the RA106: probably beat Honda's RA109.

[Redliner]

Chassis is trash after next season anyways w/ all the lack of aero they're going to do. I don't know what would be useful other than the tooling

recall that tools, factory machinery including autoclaves, and the team transporters are all up for auction.

this stuff is probably whats most valuable to campos.

the one pictured is the sa106.. or the 2002 arrows chassis.

[mads]

we could use it to give shi f1 cockpit time till hes good enough to not suck in the nurburgring.

[mads]

then let him loose on the nurburgring in the sa106.

[mads]

then watch it breakdown 3/4 of a lap in around the carousell.

thats quite an expensive way to watch failure, especially when you can watch nelson piquet jr for free every other weekend.

[vietlol]

But it will be our failure.

[Redliner]

But it will be our failure.

How do we know it's going to be a fail? Why can't it be our success?

[DrDickAction]

Shi has been on a bit of the roll lately

What if it rains?

What if it rains?

this idea is doomed

Well...Shi needs to get back to priorities. He's already achieved his goal of boink. So now he needs to start focusing on wet-weather driving at his local go-kart track

[Nacho]

If I can't drive, I call dibs on being the Team Flavio.

AKA: guy who sexes up super models, gets them knocked up, then dumps them for new, younger supermodels. Oh, and periodically sits on the pit wall (hungover) and yells at the driver(s) for failing, before going out to party more.

My qualifications? I totally woulda gone to full wets at Silverstone, and i'd totally do non-pregnant Heidi Klum.

[MrHahn]

I can be the Coughlin - hey, someone needs to make us competitive

[Redliner]

Well if I don't to drive F1-crews' car, I'll be the race engineer that annoyingly comes on the radio at the worse possible moment and tell you that you're faster than Kimi and that you gotta "keep pushin' hard, go!"

My qualifications? I totally look like the geek and watched too many Senna videos in my own aspirations for a driving role way back in the day

is everyone going to run that anvil bullshit now? looks stupid ;( cmon 2009

I agree. It looks ugly as sin and has no buisness being on a car. It's no worse than the dumbo ears on te Honda cars tho

speaking of the anvil...

Toyota have become the latest team to try out an anvil wing engine cover, when Jarno Trulli ran with one for a few laps at Hockenheim on Thursday.

The extended cover was created by Red Bull Racing this year and has been raced by Renault, Force India, and Toro Rosso so far.

McLaren also tried out their version at Hockenheim this week and could race with it in the German Grand Prix.

Toyota are now also looking at the concept as they bid to find the improvements they hope will help them in their fight for fourth place in the constructors'cChampionship.

Teammate Timo Glock, who completed his work yesterday, was pleased with the progress Toyota have made at Hockenheim this week, as he hopes a bit of good fortune will help him bounce back from a disappointing performance in Silverstone last weekend.

"I would say this week has not been too bad," he said. "We did all of the programme that we have at every test, and there was quite a lot of stuff for here. The new parts on the car were quite positive - and we did a lot of laps and a lot of set-up work.

"I'm looking forward to racing here. In all the races I have ever done at Hockenheim I finished in the top five, so hopefully that is a good sign.

"You never know when you have a difficult race like Silverstone, you can quickly bounce back to the podium or points. It is like Montreal, every time there I have had good results so hopefully Hockenheim, where I have also had good results, will be the same as well."

The dumbo ears are WAY fucking worse than the anvil fin thing.

I sort of liked it when it was just the RBRs, it differentiated the cars. Getting a bit overdone now.
