Love that rear shot showing the controversial diffuser and the suspension pieces.

Nice pics on that site.

This is how to change tires and take on fuel in under 8 seconds.


Interesting hub vent on Hammie's car. And even more interesting graphic on the spoiler endplate. Is that a graphic or a 3D relief???


I really like the artsy fartsy of these 2:




This looks like the highway where the kids like putting their SUV's on 2 wheels.


Snow resort in Dubai I actually saw something about this place's construction. AC cooling taken to a whole 'nutha level...

Ski Dubai... I didn't have a chance to go skiing but went into the Mall of the Emirates. They had a thing where instead of skiing, you could rent an inflatable ball you roll down the slope. Impressive place.

camping in the desert is fun too

The fact that F-1 therad from last year is still going leads me to believe that are enough interest in Formula 1 here to start a new thread for the upcoming race in Spain. Let the cheering for your favorite team/driver begin, but any non-sense and you will be banished to RL.

Love watching F1 (live or DVR...). I'm still a LH fan, but moreso to piss off my son Brian than anything else......

I watched the Spanish MotoGP at a friend's house last weekend. A beautiful track.....and those bikers are NUTS! I dunno, something about hitting your knee on your opponent's fairing while you pass him in a corner.

But I still want to know how they hell F1 rulemakers can get away with denying one team's request to build a certain type of splitter before the season gets started, but then decide after the season starts that the design is now legal, and the teams that did it without asking for permission aren't penalized and start the season with a big points advantage.

I am such a big fan of underdogs... BrawnGP, RedBull, and Williams. I am really hoping that Nico gets a podium very soon, or his career will be similar to Jenson's.
My prediction for Spanish race is that Vetel is going to take it with Jenson 2nd and Weber 3rd; I suspect Nico will be in the top 8.
Also, when is Bourdais going to have any significance on the track. With his lack of performance, the whole America open wheel series will get even worse reputation. If Bourdais was the best for so many years in open wheel racing in NA and he cannot cut it in F1, I don't see anyone hiring Rahal, not even USGPE.

Bernie is an idiot. The new rules have turned the cars into unstable road-grader looking abominations. :XX

I have been watching racing my whole life, loved the Schumacher era of F1. But I have noticed that since I began driving on track myself, watching doesn't have the same appeal as before.

BUT, if you're interested enough in this to look here, you should be aware of when practice/qual/race takes place and if you haven't seen either of those.... simple enough: don't look in here.

Is the hub vent supposed to be a cooling vent? Seems there would be a better way to brake cool if they want to cover the hub for aerodynamics.
