F1 Fanatic

If I don’t see at least one car in the Martini livery, I’ll be massively disappointed, whatever the alternative is…

Unfortunately alcohol advertisement is banned in France, so not a good idea for a Le Mans car […]

I can’t wait for Porsche to get racing with this! The contest in the top class is a little bit one-sided right now, just a civil war between the Audi cars. Does anyone know how many cars Porsche will […]

Aston Martin-Lola called, they want their car back.

I thought it was a McLaren for a second:

Awesome! Great just to see a new factory LMP1 running for the first time, but it is much more special that it is a historic marque like Porsche.

Lots of respect to Volkswagen AG for letting two of their brands […]

Wonder how that car would look on a birthday cake..

The Mark Webber thing is just a rumour, based largely on the assumption that he’s likely to quit F1 at the end of this year and would seek to go into sportscar racing. Which is not to say it’s wrong, just that […]

But it does […]

Do they use that livery to ’camouflage’ their aero?

Imagine what a classic Martini livery would look like on that car…anybody good with photoshop?

Press release:

Successful rollout for new Porsche LMP1 sports prototype
Stuttgart. The new Porsche LMP1 sports prototype, which will compete in the sports car World Endurance Championship (WEC) and in the 24 […]

It certainly looks better than that LMP2 RS Spyder from a couple of years back. And the current LMP1 Toyota.

Of course, the biggest question is what colour they’ll paint it…

If I don’t see at least one car in […]

Looks good. They all look pretty similar these days, so it’s not really surprising. I’d say the front end treatment is actually more similar to the old Lola-Aston than the current Audi. Looks like it’s going to […]

If you go by the thoroughly unscientific method of using Gran Turismo, an F1 car appears to be abou 15 seconds quicker around La Sarthe than a P1 car. Though obviously that’s hardly an accurate test, and the F1 […]
