I've decided I'm going to race F1 next year. It looks too awesome not to join in. Plus, I could bring my M3 out on the grid and bring back the blau und weiB.

I'd think there'd be some problems with last minute lane changes. It would be interesting, though.

I think they were saying that drivers wouldn't be able to cross the dividing white line, kind like the pit lane out line.

Virgin Racing car launch. Front wing looks very simple compared to others, I guess the CFD told them they didn't need a bunch of fancy doohickeys on the front wing, just a tattoo!

Did Virgin copycat this?

Looks like USF1 is going to bite the dust. Too bad.

How to make your soccer mom family car sounds like a macho V8 race car. Its better if you have an Audioholic stereo/speaker system in your car.

The V8 version. I saw a couple reviews on YouTube that gave the V10 a thumbs down while saying the V8 performed well.

I might put it in the wife's Infiniti.

Kia Sportage, the "consummate" family car, lol

Soooo, the first time the Virgin car took to the track, the front wing fell off on the back straight, this week, the back wing fell off on the front straight. SO much for using all CFD, they done built the car backwards.

Seriously though, the front and back wings have actually fallen off while on track, I guess a wind tunnel would have put real loads on the car and showed them there were weak points.
