GP of JAPAN

[pornstar]

Does sato have an extra boost being at his home turf? Does Honda have some inner secrets or advantages cos they own the track? is the 130R corner really that tricky?

man I cant wait to see this race! go BAR! go SATO!

[bigteethygrin]

yeah i hope sato does well!.. its great that he's been confirmed for 2005 as well.

Gonna be an awesome race!

[pornstar]

when did sato get confirmed? damn i missed it

yeeeh 5:30pm arvo sunday guys.

[7th Gen]

yep, straight after the V8's on 'The Mountain' at Bathurst

sato would have done major, major testing and race time at suzuka. see his fill-in for the sacked villenueve last year to come a credible 6th place, also his 5th in the jordan in 2002

so our boy taku would have a strong chance here if the car is on song

(last one is an interview with webber and sato, sato confirms he is driving for BAR in 2005 and dodges the sensitive question of why his cars always blow up and jenson's do not )

tipping comp still happening this round?

Yeh i do Ferrari 1-2 finish.
Sato was lucky last year at this race, alot of people had failures and his car was stayed "alive" for the race period.

130R corner really that tricky

You must of missed the first corner at China.
Some took it as a double apex others took it as a triple etc.
Now thats a tricky corner.

I'll say it again.
SATO is nothing special.
There is at least 6 other drivers in the paddock who could out drive him.
But i'm glad he is bringing in asian audiences (more money for F1)

tipping comp still this round

Hell yeh buddy.
Every round its on.
Just post it in this thread

maybe im missing the bits, but i dont see confirmation of a 2005, except that its implied if his a "strong chance" of getting a number 1 seat.

yep we heard ya the first time, ur opinion is duly noted, and disregarded

gogogog Sato!

[LUD02C]

I read on f1-live.com that he is comfirmed for BAR next year!

[davemaca]

I'm going on Sunday, can't wait.

[bigteethygrin]

yeah that big ass loop on the chinese circuit is pretty tricky huh!.. they designed it to look like a Ying/Yang symbol

[jackosimm]
