I think you mean amazing. But you know that will be said enough times come June (foreshadow)

That is not helping the suspense...

I apologise, i'll make it slightly better

 

[Roger the Horse]

Stylish posters they have there. Who designed them, out of interest?

That's a little better, you wouldn't happen to have anything in February would you

KCMG Oreca 05

Rebellion R One

 

[Kamuifanboy]

The new Oreca 05

I used to love the Ligier JS P2, now I have a new love. KCMG put the black in just the right places.

How did the guy who worked at ACO only managed to make a poster like this:

...while his counterpart at WEC managed to do something that looks miles better?

Just my opinion, but why don't they just leave the work to WEC?

The recent Le Mans posters all looked kinda crappy.
I'll never understand how anyone could approve these designs.

 

[SK8RBOI]

Spotted testing

where? Scotland?

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

where? Scotland?

Yes it's sitting in my drive just now.

Proton competition's line up announced.

#77

- Marco Seefried

#88
- Khaled Al Qubaisi
- Christian Ried
- Klaus Bachler

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

where? Scotland?

My guess would be the turn 5 hairpin at Portimao.

Nick Tandy will drive for KCMG in Silverstone and post Le Mans for the remainder season

 

[IforceV8]

Nissan has arrived at Sebring and Audi might be there too.

 

[catamount39]

Now if we could only convince IMSA to let them race in the 12 hour...

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

Nissan has arrived at Sebring and Audi might be there too.

New R18 due to be official at the Geneva motor show in a couple of days.

 

[SK8RBOI]

I wonder what Audi are up to? They have been the only quiet lmp1 team. Mabby ther up to something? Only time will tell!

Audi are always quiet

You can hear it at 10 seconds in here


I've heard rumours on what Audi are doing this year but nothing concrete.

If the rumours are true then the new hybrid system will be very interesting.

Don't tell me! I want to hear it from Audi themselves!

 

[Furinkazen]

Meet Nissan's latest ultra quick F1 reject / superstar... Max Chilton?!!!!!!!

 

[Roger the Horse]

He was very consistent in F1, if not particularly fast, to say the least.

Endurance racing may well be a better fit for him.

 

[Akmuq]

Suddenly I've doubts over Nissan's financial position.

 

[TDZdave]

Suddenly I've doubts over Nissan's financial position.

And it would appear Nissan does too,

 

[Snaeper]

Suddenly I've doubts over Nissan's financial position.

If I had the money to run a successful operation, but then a driver came up to me and offered to bring the money from his sponsors, am I going to decline out of principle?

No, he's bringing money and he has the right assets to fit in on the squad. He may not be outright fast, but he's reliable, and he was still talented enough to get the sponsorship and the speed to earn him an F1 seat, even if it was the back marker squad. If Marussia told him to bring the car home every race, then he was an excellent driver in that regard.

Seems like these doubts are based on theories anyways.
