The last F1 car to win the championship with a V12 or an h-pattern manual transmission. I love Honda V6s and V12s, they sound fantastic.

I also have a theory that F1 could be coming to GT.

1) Polyphony Digital's partnering up with the FIA and the realisation by motorsport bodies that games are an opportunity to expand their sports rather than something to make a buck on.

2) That big surprise that Kazunori has in store, as mentioned in the interviews that GTPlanet has had with him.

3) The disappearance of the Ferrari F2007 and F2010. Were they taken away only to be brought back at a later date?

F1 rights belong to Bernie Ecclestone, not the FIA. The FIA rules the championship, but they don't own it.
