Quote from funRacer[83] :RB5? What are you talking about? It doesn´t look like the rb5, the front looks like the force india of last year (of course improved here and there).


Uhh dude I meant the updated "duck's beak" variation... if you even paid a little attention to the cars last season maybe you'd remember... :slap:

RB6 looks good... need better/bigger pics ASAP!

Wasn't the Force supposed to debut tomorrow??? Aaaanyways, I'm starting to warm up to the Force Indias of late... the front looks like the RB5 but so do basically all of the others~

EDIT: Ok I guess not since it JUST got uploaded onto the official F1 website~ I swear 5mins ago it wasn't there!

BTW did I miss an announcement about the tire supplier? Is Bridgestone still in it or is someone else stepping in???

Can't wait for the tests~~

I woke up at 3am Sydney time this morning to watch Man Utd vs Arsenal (yay 3-1 to ManU!!!) and just out of interest checked Google and found the two were released... LOVE the "BMW" Sauber C29, hate hate hate the Renault R30. I really hope Kobayashi and Sauber go well this year. Honestly he was pretty much the only promising rookie from the '09 season. Really impressed me in both Interlagos and Abu Dhabi, showing enormous potential, confidence and ability to work with the team's strategy. GOOD LUCK SAUBER~

Wow this is a surprise!! The rear looks really innovative. Still not happy about the extra long wheelbase but meh~ This is the best looking car until the RB6 comes out!!

So basically they both ripped off the RB5...

I like the new FW32 but last year's F60 looked a billion times better.

Seriously, keep the friggin points system as it was... now it's just confusing and effing lame.
Mercedes GP MGP W01 livery unveiled

The new livery was previewed at the Mercedes Museum and I for one have mixed feelings about this livery.. since this is supposedly a Silver Arrow, shouldn't it have been a little more... silver??? Looks white to me. However, Germany's racing color back in the day used to be white but kinda changed to silver so I guess that's ok... maybe it's just the lighting. Excited nonetheless.

What's your opinion?

Yokohama/Advan would be cool but going by what all of the other Japanese companies in the automotive sector are doing, I highly doubt it. There are some (Japanese) whispers going around ATM about interest so it's still a possibility.
Kumho, I dunno. Also some rumors but I think they are too focused on GT but Kumho would be cool too. I can't remember which but they're also involved in an open wheel series.
Pirelli isn't interested.
Goodyear isn't interested.
Michelin isn't interested.
Hankook... also probably focused on GT and Formula Drift... have you seen Papadakis' S2000, Nishida's R35 and Grunewald's Camaro???
Dunlop? Maybe but I'm not too sure. It's the sole supplier for V8 Supercars in Australia so maybe also an emphasis on GT.
BFG no idea.

Yeah... shame about that. I guess they made that decision quite recently?? Has anyone else seen the press conference where Toyoda broke down and apologized to Toyota fans? That's really sad. I feel so sorry for him right now.

EDIT: Here is an article about the conference and strangely it says that it's still weighing up options on what to do with the team but I'm also thinking that they're going to close it.

I am really sad to see all of these manufacturers leave... if I had it my way, I'd have at least 50% of the field run by manufacturers and the rest independent teams~ Oh well...

On a related note, apparently Toyota is in talks with an "Asian buyer" and if it happens to be a manufacturer, Nissan and Hyundai seem to be the big players right now (speculations as late as 2008 seem to suggest these two), although I see Hyundai being better positioned as they've been recording record profit after record profit for quite some time now... but with all the stuff they've invested into Rhys Millen's Formula Drift and Pikes Peak ventures, I think they've got enough motorsport coverage. Yeah and I also think that it is highly unlikely that either would even be looking into it ATM.

I'm so glad that I'm not the ONLY ONE thinking that Kobayashi is awesome. 3 points on his second race is quite impressive by my standards. I love the way he carries himself both on and off the track. I'm itching to say that he is championship material but I'm getting ahead of myself now...

Oh yeah and also, Bridgestone is pulling out of F1 after 2010 so what do you think should happen? 1 main brand/supplier, limited suppliers (2-3 slots) or a free for all???

Couldn't concentrate at school today... so tired!!!

The last few laps were so tense (for me, at least) watching the Webber-Button battle. Really thought Mark was going to spin out but Jenson got excited too I guess and made a few small mistakes... I think Kobayashi is going to be really great to watch next year. I like the fact that he is so confident and calm under pressure. He may or may not deliver next season, but from what I've seen so far, he looks like a strong competitor in the future.

EDIT: on second thought, maybe something like an old muscle car would be nice. throttle steer-able monster for me please!!!

if you want F1, use rFactor with the Dazor F1 2009 mod or F1RL 2009 mod. Way better than LFS for F1... only for F1 though~

Quote from NSX_FReeDoM :It's not exactly Lotus is it? It's not even British.

and since when did F1 become A1GP?!

Oh my goodness. That is exactly what I was thinking just a few days ago!!! First Force India and now USF1... team Malaysia too? I'd much rather have the team named after a race car builder or a manufacturer of a product such as Lola, Sauber, Williams, Merc than a bunch of countries. That's just ridiculous. Also, the medal idea is plain stupid. The A1GP influence needs to stop.

Cool, never knew LFSF had a F1 thread~ I really hope Mark can get back in form... results were not so impressive last two races... and to think that I was tipping him for the championship~ Apparently, the KERS cars should have an advantage with Renault reintroducing it for the race. Makes sense as this is a fast circuit.

Anyways, what does everyone think about the refueling ban? I think it's ridiculous to get rid of it... isn't it one of the most important factor in race strategy? I mean, how much could it possibly save?!?!?

The compounds we have already have are more than enough for drifting... as for the update, it will be interesting to say the least. Will make judgement after test.

Quote from MaKaKaZo :I'm surprised that just one person said this...

I'd change it, but not just because it's a dangerous place for cutting and getting damage, and ruining nice hotlaps, but because if considerable braking would be needes in this corner it would be one of the coolest overtaking points in the track. Right now you can get another car slipstream going into the oval, and when you reach that point side to side it's the moment to pray that you'll end up alive. With a real chicane and people having to do full braking it would be great

An there's more, having it slower would mean that a good corner exit could provide again a better braking battle in the next hairpin than right now.

:iagree:

Awesome skin replica-ing Bean0!!! Too bad the livery doesn't look nearly as nice on that ugly FZ50... Just my opinion tho~
