New Minardi will race in Imola.

[MJW]

That`s all I can say right now.No pictures,but we will see it in Imola.Nice to see an other car than that PS04 (or PS02??).

 

[Blake]

Apparantly it's at least a second faster the the PS04B and it looks nothing like any other car on the grid. I'm kind of anxious, I wanna see if they can cme 9th.

It will also have the new Costworth engine which is almost 60hp up on the engine Minardi were using before.

Still, I don't think they'll stand a chance against Renault and the others.

1 sec faster than their previous car still means 4 sec slower than the rest of the field

 

[5 Watt]

1 second will now make Jordan the worst team in F1. A title Minardi has been trying to lose for a long time.

The problem is that different doesn’t always mean faster.

They don't want to be no.1, they want to be no.9.

[TheChemist]

Hopefully it will be the PS05, and not the P0S5. =\

 

[Blake]

Ha!

Blake

 

[MJW]

Well,from what I know is that Paul SToddart only wants to beat Jordan (Midland).

The car will be very different,and they will have the same engine as RedBull.I only hope it will not blow up engines or break gears........

 

[Omnis]

yeah, i would like to see poor ole minardi have some success. i dont like Eddie, so jordan coming in dead last is no sweat off my brow.

i can't wait to see what it'll look like though. especially if it's supposed to be different from the field.

 

[Blake]

Yeah, I'm kind of curious, like what is it front engined or something

LOL. maybe they're going to flip the car from front to back. they'll call it "project Stingray"

that or they'll have multiple nose cones.....the world's first 200mph fork.

 

[Blake]

200 MPH, you think too highly of Minardi.

[Omnis]

does kmh work?

damn conversions.

 

[livemusic]

does kmh work?

damn conversions.

That would be too slow, even for Minardi.

 

[Double_R]

the minardi will resemble a LMP.

 

[MJW]

After a little search I have found the first pic of the new PS05.It`s a 3d model,so not the real car.It looks kinda like this years McLaren with some different parts,and a new kind of hole in the side pod.

Here it is:

i know. i was just kidding.

anyway, those renderings look pretty cool.

 

[ExigeEvan]

Is it just me or does that nose look really long?

I was hoping for something abit more radical.

With the rules from F1 you can`t make a car really radical. 👎

 

[kensei]

Looks like an A1GP car to me....eitherway i see nothing revolutionary about it.

Though you can't believe a 3d render found on the net. Who knows where it came from. We won't know for sure what the car looks like until it pops up in testing or on a grid.

 

[ExigeEvan]

BMW kind of did. Ok then, not radical...different.

 

[Blake]

That doesn't look as radical as I expected, I can't really believe a render like that, I'll have to wait to see it.

Apparently Stoddart spends around 10% of the money the top teams do and is able to get a car around 95% to that of the top teams. That's not so bad stat wise if his aim is just to advertise something on an F1 car. And what better way to do so when someone laps you.

Seriously speaking. Minardi probably get more Airtime than people like Sauber.

 

[[FPV]Rusty]

In that 3d rendering. Codename M.A.R.F.T- Merely A Really Feable Team

 

[Pupik]

Hopefully it will be the PS05, and not the P0S5. =\

Or the FA1L.

I dont get it.

[kenton]

you guys gotta get off that rat bastard(paul stodtards)man juice flavored kool aid. he's been spewing non stop bs since last year

1)
Stoddards spin:

last year he shows a paper regarding some agreement and says ferrari is the only team that didnt sign. Media buys it and rip ferrari.

Reality:

Ferrari was not in the meeting and was NEVER invited. Stodtard admits that he left out that fact

2)
Stodtards spin:

ferrari is trying to destroy minardi by not letting them race their 2004 spec car in the first race of 2005 saying that they didnt have time or money to make and interim car for the 2005 rules cause they spent the money on the POS 05. everyone buys it and slam ferrari as being bullies.

Reality:

they did test a POS 04B in 2005 specs for 2 days at mugello. ferrari also gave in and signed to let them race the car in 2004 spec but the fia had the last words and said the teams dont have the power to do such a thing.
