Nar Jackosimm, just been following it for so long and a lot of my mates are in to it and racce as well.
I wonder what tyres were used in those stopping tests. I'd guess it was the old qualifiers.
300-0 in 4s. That's pretty quick. And 100-0 in 1.4s, that's pretty quick too.
good stuff:thumbsup:Quote:

Much has been made of the relationship between Williams and BMW, with the German manufacturer now in talks with Sauber regarding engine supply and even a possible takeover of the Swiss based-squad.
Williams has a contract with BMW which runs through 2006 and the Grove based squad will be already working on next year’s car the FW28 making it unlikely that the team would be ready for a new engine design as soon as next year.
However, speaking to Bild Williams admitted that he was not unduly worried about engine supply as he has a contract with BMW and should that dissolve for any reason, there are plenty of options for the team.
Toyota, Honda and Cosworth have all been linked to the team over the last six months. Toyota is however is expected to continue with Jordan/Midland again in 2006. BMW, Mercedes, Renault and Honda have all gone on record stating that supplying a second team from 2006 is possible, so it seems that Williams has no shortage of potential options.

Juan Pablo Montoya describes what it's like to put in a lap at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, the home of the Canadian GP...
"You reach 297km/h in seventh gear along the short pit straight, before braking hard for the left-right weave of turns one and two. Located just before the pit lane exit, turn one is taken at 112km/h in third gear, and is immediately followed by the Coin Senna. This right-hand hairpin is negotiated at 80Km/h in second gear.
You push hard on the throttle as you exit the Coin Senna for the short straight that leads to the chicane of turns three and four. You drop from 257km/h in fifth to negotiate the right-left flick at 131km/h in second.
Exiting turn four, you sweep flat out through the long right-hand curve of turn five, reaching 273km/h in sixth before once again braking hard for the left-right flick of turns six and seven. The first left-hander is taken at 80km/h in second with your speed increasing to some 144km/h in third for the right of turn seven.
Full on the throttle on the exit as you power along the Place de la Concorde, achieving speeds of up to 318km/h in seventh gear, before dropping back through the gears for the right-left sequence of turns eight and nine. Entering the bumpy braking zone under the bridge for turn eight, your speed decreases to 112km/h in third gear.
The slightly faster turn nine follows and this can be taken at 128km/h, still in third gear. Exiting turn nine, you blast along the sweeping straight that leads to the L'Epingle hairpin. Having reached speeds of 257km/h in fifth gear, you brake hard for the 180-degrees right hander, which swings you round onto the Droit du Casino.
Accelerating along the main straight, you reach 318km/h in seventh gear as you approach the hardest braking point on the track. You pull -3.8G as you brake sharply to negotiate the final two corners that take you back to the start-finish straight. The right-left complex of bends is negotiated at 115km/h in third gear and you have to be careful not to jump the kerbs too aggressively."
that acceleration is amazing, 260km/h on that short straight after the first hairpin! SHIT!
I'll love to drive one of these cars.Quote:
