  • You also can't compare the times of a car that was never designed to run under these regulations (PS04b), to one that was (EJ 15). By comparing the times of the old Minardi and the new Jordan I am pointing out that the new Minardi must be 2 second…
  • For the third time, "the gap between this year's Jordan and last year's Minardi was only just over two seconds". I don't know if I can make it any clearer than that. OZ GP 2005: 17 19 Narain Karthikeyan Jordan-Toyota 1:27.970 OZ GP 2004: 19 20 G…
  • but anyway: the gap between the fastes racelaps for Jordan and Minardi in OZ was 4.8 seconds, it would be a miracle if the team would close that gap(and the pope is on the other team ) That maybe true, but the gap between this year's Jordan and la…
  • I agree with Jello on this one. There is always a balance between downforce and drag with the areo. If your engine gets more power, then you increase the downforce/drag produced by the car while maintaning the cars speed down the straights. Therefo…
  • the new engine is 890 BHP(the current has 800), but from Indy on Red Bull will get 920(and Minardi won't get that engine): TOIT has 950 currently(but like all other teams they are developing their engine to get even more). If this is the case, then…
  • Should forget any comparisons to the PS04b, the thing is a complete hack. The PS04 at the OZ GP last year was running 1:30.1 with GB behind the wheel. This year's Jordan did a 1:27.9 (NK), the difference is just over 2 seconds. The OZ GP was also …
  • 3 nights free accomodation for 2 in Kuala Lumpur for the Malaysian GP in 2006 or at anytime before the Malaysian GP 2006 Most generous of you, dude. There will be no second place for me this year (more likely last). a. FA b. FA c. KR d. MS e. TS…
  • Great pics on the site. Cars, drivers and chics. Nice.
  • Minardi front wing also with Melbourne GP on it. Maybe it was for the thing in town today?
  • Couple more pics from Sutton. Muermans on the rear wing of one car. Can't make out the sidepod, but it could be the T at the end of OZJET. Also the white, red and black looks like it's staying. Melbourne GP on the back of the other car (3rd?). …
  • Haven't you been watching the news Skruff? 2 crashes (both with multiple fatalities) in the last week! They appear to have been cutting corners on maintenance. Most reassuring.
  • And the way Virgin Blue is going at the moment he might have a chance. Just a quick question, what's wrong with Virgin Blue? I happen to be flying over with them for the GP and would be slightly interested in knowing if their planes randomly fall …
  • Yeah, I thought the Champ Car example would not be quite right. But the IRL engine cover could work (as ugly as it is), like on the Dallar.
  • I was thinking about the engine cover. Minardi used the Lola wind tunnel and I thought I heard that they used some of the Lola aero guys as well. Well this is Lola's Champ Car effort, also the G-Force cars in IRL are running with very cut down engi…
  • What happens if you don't set a time in the qualifying on Saturday. Do you just not bother coming out on Sunday morning, or go around real slow (conserving tires). Would look pretty stupid.
  • Last year the Minardiis were not that far behind in the first qualifing session, so the aggregate will look better than posting the finial qualifing time.
  • Man, if we get any more positive news about this season, I might just start to beleave it.
  • The Times revealed that Ferrari's new Concorde deal included, to the other teams' chagrin, the 'right of veto' in any mooted regulation change. If this is true, then the new Concorde is a joke.
  • Can't wait for the new car to turn up, but this is tempered by the fact that for the first 3 races the minardis will be a long way behind.
  • We have had the law in place for a few months now and going out has never been better. This is coming from a smoker, by the way.
  • I can imagine what you would do with a stick, but whats the rag for?

  • This will make you feel better. I should just be able to make it over as well. But don't worry I have almost got that horrendous skin condition and assoicated body odder under control.

  • Assuming the team's third driver is a newby, he will have to be at the test to get his superlicence. So the announcement of at least the 3rd driver should be soon.
  • Very impressed at how little space have been allocated to CA's sponsors. Leaves more room for some multinational with deep pockets.
  • Playstation would be real nice.
  • Explains why some of the 2-seaters were red at the SA event.
  • Great work, well done people.
  • Why would you bother sending him out for only 5 laps? The plot thickens.
  • I'd say use 1 engine per weekend right from the start. If the CR3L is tuned down to last 2 weekends the car will be along way back.
