What happened to all the F1 babes? Before I started really following F1 all I really knew about it was that there were good looking women dressed up in sexy outfits everywhere.

PerSmitt

The babes are just distractions. Lets focus on the racing, double diffusor, blown diffusor, flixble front wing, F-duct and all the other lovely gizmos this sport brings to the world!

^^PerSmitt i'm with you 100%...BUT qtwre, i'm in agreement with your observation. Further, not too long back Sutton had some pretty darn risque' photos, but over the past couple years it seems those pics have been toned down considerably. Further, I just don't think they put that much money into the "chicks" anymore. Jordan and BAR were really big on eye candy with their cars. I agree, you don't see it as much as you used to.

There isn't much happening in the F1 world with the August shutdown. The babes are a way to keep things going on here a little.
In case you didn't here. F1 is going to use a different method to test the deflection of the front wing at Spa. Red Bull says it won't make any difference. They don't plan on making any changes. No word from Ferrari.

Pretty much what I was thinking =)
Too bad that I won't be able to attend a track day there in october for various reasons... it would be a blast to be there 1 month after the lapping the ring

Belgian GP organisers worried about future of Francorchamps race
André Maes, the Director of Spa Grand Prix, is worried about the future of the Belgian Grand Prix. The organisers are hoping to extend the contract for the race at the historic Spa-Francorchamps venue beyond 2012, but are aware of the immense interest of other countries to host their own F1 race.
André Maes said to the Belgian newspapers: "There is no lack of candidates to host a F1 race. Even France lost its Grand Prix, so Belgium will have to be very careful and apply for a contract extension before 2012."

Red Bull to 'lose out' on Spa straights - Horner

Christian Horner is concerned that F1's forthcoming rounds at Spa-Francorchamps and Monza could be tough challenges for the 2010 Red Bull car.

The RB6 was utterly dominant on the tight curves of Hungary recently, but the famous Belgian and Italian circuits - featuring long stretches that favour the strongest engines - could not be more different.

F1 factories begin to re-open after shutdown

Formula one factories began to re-open this week after serving mandatory closures.

Within the one-month gap between the Hungarian and Belgian grands prix, teams agreed to close their doors for two full weeks as a cost-cutting measure.

Modern Formula 1 Car For Sale, Cheap



For around $150,000 you can buy Sakon Yamamoto's 2006 Super Aguri Formula One racer, sans engine, and park it in your garage (or living room). Hey, it's way cheaper than a Lotus Exos.
http://jalopnik.com/5614877/modern-f...for-sale-cheap

I wonder if a Cosworth would fit back there?

alfy28

yah i think spa is going to be a mcarlen track due to less down force needed. at least that is what I am hoping for.

ATL-GP

It's amazing to see all the aero on the Aguri! When you look at the cars now, they look kind of plain (but I guess the appropriate wording would be clean). Yeah, id' love to have that bad boy in my garage!! Imagine showing up somewhere for a track day in that!!!

alfy28

Why its ATL, good to see you man. How have you been, did you get bored being the only person in the nascar thread lol. btw wb to the silver knights divsion

alfy28

8 more days to till practice in SPA!!!!

ATL-GP

YO Alfy!!! What's up man!!! Glad to be back, I was on vacation about 2 weeks ago, then when I got back I wound up being laid up for several additional days due to the flu. I'm good now though.
HAAAAAAA....I wasn't the only person on the NASCAR thread...I think there was a moderator there, hahahahahahahah YEAH MAN....I CAN NOT WAIT FOR SPA!!!! This whole summer F1 break is giving me withdrawls, hahahaah. Hope all is well with you.

ATL-GP

OH, forgot....is there a silver knights division thread??? OH, while I was laid up on the couch I was watching some old F1 that I put on VHS and saw the Fernando/Hamilton commercial, "anything you can do, I can do better" one. I just sat there and thought, "if they only knew how true that commercial is"

alfy28

Things are going great as usual.
Thinking next year I am going to send my application to Aln to be a F1 mod here at rx8club. If interview goes well, there will lots of changes. Starting will be, instead of calling our fine thread “The Official F1 Discussion Thread” I shall change it to the “Official Silver Knights Special Unit Division” I think it just sounds more classier. 2nd change will be that ppl will have to send their post in PM for me to read over and make sure its Silver Knight quality, then I shall post it for them. I believe that it will make this fine thread of ours better. 3rd if anything that I read is positive for the opposing team, it automatically is a 3 day ban.

So what do you think of my changes for 2011 F1 thread, I think it’s a winner to be honest with you. There is no way that Aln will turn me down now.

ATL-GP

"YOU CAN DOOOO IT" hahahahah sounds like a good plan...but, in the interest of fairness, I think you should allow non Silver Knights comments......but for a small fee. Or better yet, 50 thread count deduction!!!

Yes there is.
Start your own Silver Knights thread. You most likely won't find me posting there. No, I'm not a hater. Just disinterested. As for your requirements for the thread, thats quite an elitist attitude you got there.

alfy28

taht would be cool. i than can quit my job and just charge for every post. I would be like the Google of F1 threads.

Well actually its not a elitist attitude, i just feel it would be cleaner to have every post pre read before posting. You have to admit, there wont be any wars between team fans, because they will only be able to post about team Mcarlen. Also if i made my own thread, it wouldnt be special because it wouldnt be stickied, so with your permission, can i get my own thread stickied asap? ty

PerSmitt

I would miss the delusional comments from non silver knights

But still, DO A BARREL ROLL!

Peter Windsor has a article in GP Week about the failure of the USF1 team.
http://mag.gpweek.com/
Other online articles are ripping him a new one about his hypocrisy.

alfy28
