Arrrggghhh that Sauber front nose just poked my eye out!!!

That photo shot of the Renault isnt very good but I expect it to look stunning on TV.

IMO the best looking black and gold car is this one.



The 1986 Lotus 98T John Player Special.

The new Red Bull Racer



Not much difference to last years car but I could be wrong as this is Webber's car. Vettle's car will get all the goodies this year.

New Mclaren launch and an interesting new air intake above the engine cover.

Not sure what its for, some are saying that its an additional port for cooling the KERS system, others are saying that its a different version of the Fduct system which was hit last year but now has been banned.

Looks like Craig Lowndes might get an opportunity to drive an Mclaren F1 Car around the Mount Panorama Bathurst track.

Should be interesting to see an F1 car flying around the tight twitsy but very fast track. The top of the mountain will definetly be interesting with the dipper and how the car is going to handle that.

Did you ever see the footage of Will Power driving the Team Australia Champ Car around the track?

It looked pretty damn sexy.

I wish that they would host open-wheelers around there, but some major safety upgrades would have to happen first. Can you imagine wheels touching on top of the mountain with the current 1 metre high fence? Tumbling down the mountain we go....

Just noticed something.


John Leach!!!

Did you ever see the footage of Will Power driving the Team Australia Champ Car around the track?

No....and there is nothing on youtube!

John Leach??

The only thing I noticed was Renault is sponisored by Lada who make these wonderful cars.

John Leach??

John Leach is a TC who works for us. Bald head, beard. He's in the middle of the photo.

He's a white Kareem Abdul Jabaar.

I'll see if I can find that video. I have it somewhere.....

As for Lada, state-owned company (Russia) of which the government is Vitaly Petrov's major sponsor. How else would he keep his ride? It's rumoured to be upwards of 20,000,000 Euros a year.
