40 million I beleive it costs for the formula 1 rights annually and it has lost the state government 210 million and counting. Bring it back to Adelaide I say...infact, it should not have left!!! :evil:

I will not touch the politics at all, but man that Veyron is not impressive at all. On the track it was way slow than the solar powered car, and it was overcast at that point!
The Porsche 917 was great.

yeah man it looked mint, dust and all!!
not a big fan of the F1, but watched it this week and it does look like fun, plus with no traction control and engine brakes it really does show who is the better driver.
did some research of the cars and the figures are awesome.
equipped with an NA 2.4L V8 pulling out around 600kw! want one of them in your car? fork out around $330000 for one.
engines run on unleaded fuel closely resembling publicly available petrol. The oil which lubricates and protects the engine from overheating is very similar in viscosity to water
to compare the power output, the s2000 has 92kw per cylinder where as the f1's have 225kw per cylinder. all put into a shell half the weight of a mini cooper. pretty amazing stuff!
i just watched the Top Gear episode where Hammond said F1 driving is piss easy. They put him into an F1 car to see how hard it really is, and he was oversteering and understeering all over the place.

I cant see what all the fuss is about really!
Sure they are fast, but watching it tv is wayy better- total opposite to rallying

Dear God it was hot AS! One chick apparently passed out while queuing up for drinks and another chucked up from the heat. I'm surprised no-one went out for heat exhaustion.
On a (somewhat) good note, we were standing exactly where Sabestian Bourdais blew up. They wheeled him in right in front of us. I'll not soon forget the look on his face, he was totally shattered!

You would be suprised how many people would have been treated over that weekend. Saturday not so much as it was a cooler day.. but friday and sunday. You would not have seen the amount of people who needed to be attended by St John Ambulance or Paramedics.
I thank god i was there sat and not Sunday..

Yeah! F1 is pretty technical however I really like doing two things when I go there.
1) Look at the old racing cars they are unreal, like 3.0litre straight 8's supercharged bolted into a small chasis wieghing all but 300 - 400 kg with 5"tyres like how hard would it of been driving these things with massive steering wheels love to see the drivers working hard. and think of it no technology just seat of the pants big balls and lots of sidways action.
2)walk across one of the foot bridges with no ear plugs in whilst the F1's go full throttle under you. There is nothing more exciting than feeling that whole bridge shake with that power.
2.5) A good perv lol!
