Say hello to Formula One’s newcomers
June 28, 2009
Filed under: Motorsports
It’s on again, off again in the face-paced world of Formula One politics. First the biggest teams in F1 were slated to split off and form their own series.

It’s anyone’s guess at this point - we think the one series will be on track for next season - but in the meantime, the FIA issued the official list of entries for 2010.Alongside the ten current teams (Ferrari, McLaren, BMW…… Continue reading

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the Formula One waters, Max Mosley goes and sends a nasty-gram to Formula One Teams Association (FOTA) chairman and Ferrari head honcho Luca di Montezemolo threatening to back out of his promise to step down from his throne as leader of the FIA if he doesn’t get a full apology ASAP.

Filed under: Concept Vehicles, Sedans/Saloons, Rolls-Royce
Looking for a spectacularly useless way to waste some time? On the web vehicle configurators are one of our favorites. You can sit for an hour or more playing with different color combinations and options on a car you’re never going to purchase, and have absolutely nothing to show for it when you’re done.
