im considering on going down, however ms aint there so not sure...
honda pfftt... felipe massa is where its at...
yeah its a shame schuey wont be there anymore =( but i think i'll enjoy it more from the comfort of my own home.. i get to see all the action.. and they arent just blurs buzzing around a track! but i wanna go one day to feel the roar of the V8s spinnin at 19000rpm
worth every penny and shilling!!! i'll be there front row seats centre.. if they even have dems.. fark i miss F1 already, been watching reruns... :(
so with general admission ticket you can venture to whereever you want across the track?
not across the track
but yeah. all the general areas you are free to roam
just don't have any right to go to the stands
Can't wait for next season. Hope Honda do well. In the last 9 races (I think) Button scored the most points out of everyone. Now that Shumi is gone :( , Honda can be title contenders.
I think I'll dress up as a woman or pretend I'm a kid - so I could get cheaper/free tickets :S
hmmmmmmm thas a worry
Did they have any Honda F1 Team mechanise for sale at the GP this Year?
Ill go next year if they got some good shit!
PS- maybe bring my 2m Honda flag! :thumbsup:
they should have. doing PR work and selling merchandise is what honda is good at. now they need to win a championship
yeah they got Honda Racing F1 merchandise.. quite expensive though... alotta the Honda stuff sold like crazy because Jensen got pole this year at albert park. i bought the JB hat and the team jacket.. like $400 together.. and i've worn the hat and jacket once.. too precious!! lol
Yeah i want a jacket , they had the 2006 one at the motorshow for $280 , and i want a pitshirt , i just got the BAR earplugs online from the webby site , well i hope they dont see out , may have to buy it all on thur :)
Hopefully Webber can put on a good show this year with a reliable car, its been a long time since an Aussies been on top.
But Honda has a new title sponsor for 2007... The new 2007 Honda merchandise might look ugly? The Lucky Strike livery was very sexy though... (Remeber Williams 98/99?)
volk?i hear they are cominh into F1

Honda prolly has a good chance, they're the most stable top team next year, just about the only one to keep same line up etc.
And go Ant Davidson bringing SA into top ten on the winter testing time sheet. SA would be a good chance for some points this season.
theres no title sponsor for Honda dis year...Quote:

Nah man not green lol... But I have read about the "no title sponsor thing"... Its alright, Honda has plenty of finances to cover the 2007 bill (McLaren and Williams raced with no title sponsor in 2006 :thumbsup: )Quote:

As im definitely going this yr , got free accommodation ! :p
where can we order tickets from?
will be my first time going to the F1 weeeeee!
GOT MY TICKET!! heheheeh
im in the fangelli stand on sunday.. and ive got a general admin aswel from thurs - sunday.. good ole student rates
FLY u can get F1 tickets from their website.. jus type aus f1 in google =)
they have student rates? sick. time to pull out the uni student card rofl
how u get student rates??
its not available on the website.
You're kidding right lol? Yeah the livery was hideous but I'm pretty sure their decline was mainly due to Andrian Newy hopping off the McLaren at the end of 1996 and Renault leaving Williams at the end of 1997 giving the Mecharome company the job of tuning old Renault engines for Williams in 98/99Quote:

if anything some team should bring back the gauloises metal flake blue livery that was on those sexy as prost cars from 98, or better yet the DANKA arrows black livery best lookin f1 cars ever
Nah Newy left at the end of 1996... His legacy proved petent in 1997 though :thumbsup: GO JACQUES!Quote:

Ahh Prost... Liked the livery, didnt like the team....

aHhh... looks like Vodafone is the new look for mclaren. maaan this F1 season cannot come any quicker!!! shiiiiiiet!!!!

I was disappointed with this livery... McLaren are slowly loosing a hold on their team... (Literaly, with only 15% of the team actually belonging to "The McLaren Group"/Ron Dennis)...Quote:

so does anyone have any pic of the upcoming honda RA07 car.....i heard that the company is taking a different approach in what it will look like since they are now fully honda owned
New livery for Honda will be launched at end of February.
In other news, Go Ant Davidson :)

Can't wait for the season to start!! Saw the ads on TV last night. But it'll never be the same without M.Schumacher :( .
I really hope Honda do well this year. It'll be interesting to see Alonso, as generally when a successful drivers changes teams, they struggle for the first season (I think Shumi was the exception).
I'd love to see Rubens take out the championship this year and Honda the constructor's title.
Me neither!... I wanna see how RBR and Williams do... And it will go back to normal... People thought F1 would never be the same after Senna died but everything moves on...Quote:

Which one's the fangelli stand....do you mean Fangio? I'm thinking of the Prost stand atm.Quote:

The Frangio stand is on the main straight.....
you are more then welcome to walk around the whole track....but just can't get in different stand and boxes.....
It should be great for 1st timers.....you will feel thats the best moment of ur life....but if you work there 8 years in a roll.....you won't.....but you can feel the corner speed of the F1 cars on teli bros.....if you watch it with ur eye....you will be like wow....how can they manage to fly through a corner like that......anywayz....for the one who is going this year....enjoy every moment.....I will stay comfy on my sofa and air-con.....
New Renault R27 Livery... Bloody Ugly...

wtf... thats a colour code disaster... why not just go all out n add pink poka dots and lime green racing stripes... thats fkn bede as!! baaahahahaha no wonder alonso left! jk jk but yeah.. its still ugly!
They should have made the whole car orange and white or black and not have put in the yellow and dark blue. But the design of the car looks good though!
I think they were trying to keep a little bit of the Renault heritage from the 70/80's with the Yellow and Black... Dunno about the blue...
What black? I didn't see any black apart from the tyres.Quote:

The black stripe seperating the Orange from Yellow... :thumbsup:Quote:

man i love the RA107!!! farkin lookz bad asss........ maaan grandstand tickets are expensive... u guys must be strictly ballerz... shiiet.. general ad. for this kid!! :(
We'll be there in the support paddock with two cars entered in the F3 race. One is our older Renault powered car (blah!) but the other is an F304 Dallara with the most current Mugen-Honda engine that a non-factory team can get.
If your around, come on up to the CSport garage in the support paddock and identify yourself. I'd be only to happy to show you the goodies!
I'll try and post some pics of the car when it looks a little less like a pile of parts. It's just come back from the paint shop and the engine doesn't get here until the week after next (I hope!).
You're racing on Sunday? If so do I get an invite? :)Quote:

of course mate !Quote:

How the mighty have fallen.... R.I.P. Williams....
http://www.f1racing.net/en/news/2007...ng_is_illegal/
I think Williams are just scared, they don't want to be staring at the rear ends of a Honda/Super Aguri or Redbull/Toro Roso... Or even a McLaren-Mercedes/Prodrive...
I wonder what will happened to Frank and his Team now that Customer Chassis is being introduced (Again) in 2008... (Remember Williams entered a "March" customer chassis when they first started F1)
I really hope the FW29 can win some races this year... It will prove privateers can still be a force to be reckoned with in F1...

I'll find out and get back to you. What tix have you got ?
The Honda Racing F1 Team will present the RA107's new livery on 26 February. In January, the team already launched the challenger, but the livery still hasn't been released. According to Nick Fry, the new livery will be something that has never been seen in F1. Rumours have been spread for months now that BP will be the new main sponsor of the team, which would result in a green livery.Quote:
