Ferrari will unveil their car that is to be contesting the 2003 championship on 7-2-2003 and will have it on the track as last year by the Monza round:mad: The 2002 car(updated) will contest the fly away rounds before the Euro rounds start with the Monza G.P.
So we are again missing out on seeing the latest stallion in the Flesh here in good old Melbourne
The other side of the coin is that the winner is almost sure going to be a Ferrari:D

If you want some serious horsepower, not a tiiddly 750, try Kwinana Motorplex and listen to 5000 horsepower in a nitro funny car thunder past.

Granted ,yes that is also awsome,just a pity it lasts only so very short and the blowups always make me think of the bills these chaps have to pay and many are pure enthusiasts with only limited budgets.
regards F.F.

The action never stops all day, and I'd rather rebuild a top fuel engine than a mega expensive and just as fragile F1 engine.
The racing comes down to personal skill and ability when you race to a dial your own setup, you could beat a $100 000 race car with a standard street car if your reaction time is spot on and you run really close to your nominated time. In the unfortunately ever increasingly boring spectacle that is F1 at the moment (lets play pirates and run a wooden plank under the car) one car wins all the time and most of the overtaking, what there is, is done in the pits. The greedy and rich peanut who runs the show needs to dip into his mega fortune and change the format so that there is actually some racing involved and not just follow the leader. I'm not the only racing fan who no longer stays up untill the early hours of the morning to hopefully watch an entertaining race. The whole F1 circus needs money to keep going and the worldwide dwindling audience, on tv and at the tracks, is telling the wally's in charge that something needs to change.

Eliot,

F1 boring, you obviously have been on the nitro, the fact that Ferrari was able to win race after race makes it interesting the technical aspect of the racing is amazing to see the lengths that the teams go to each race in making changes to the cars both minor and major and trying new set ups to even get close the the Ferrari. Seeing Ferrari trying new setups at tracks just because they could and not even use the changes in the race.

Oh and the main reason there not boring, they go around corners!!!!.

The drags is good but its not a touch on the F1 show.

PS: The new changes released on Friday 17 January 2003 should make the show much more interesting, so it looks like you will be waiting up again to watch the best racing in the world.

Sorry Glenn, but I have to agree with Eliot that F1 is as exciting to watch as peeling spuds. The slightest touch and the car is cactus (you would think they'd catch on and enclose the wheels) and if your that keen on listening to a group of engines resembleing a swarm of angry mosquitos you're welcome to come and have a rum with the Mrs and I on the front verandah after 7pm on any Summers evening. :D

Just clean gentle seabreeze delivered soothing air here in good old W.A. Lived in Bananaland *No thank you*
(WA stands for "Wait Awhile"):p

Ps If you are into grumbeling noises , we have a good collection of Bears here in the Zoo ,Sounds as simmilar to a V8 as Mozzy sounds to a glorious F1 engine ,,,by the way a lot of technology packed into a Mozzy don't you think.

Hehehehe....sorry to dissapoint you ff but its a sweet 27c here right now and I'm done with work so I'm off like the milk in my fridge...see you when I decide to come back in from this magnificent weather.

Mozzies are blood suckers.......kinda sums up F1 management dont you think?

I will see your 27c and raise it to 41c in the sun and 35 in the shade, man was it hot today. I was on my first job today at 7.30am and my temperature probe was telling me that my work environment was 30.6c and I was outside under a tree.

As far as the racing goes I am into the tech side of things and this along with the odd I said odd close race makes it all worth while. I would also like to say that the F1 and V8 supercar show in Melbourne is the best one in the world.

I love my motorsport

I'm with Aussiecollector on the technical side as well.
Impress me with a top fueller that'll do 19,200 RPM and last 2 hours and go around corners and not need a bed sheet to pull up at the end of a straight...then i'll take notice.
I love watching and hearing a top fueller,but thats about it.
Being at Albert Park and listening for the "mozzies" screaming their god damn brains out is pure bliss....and then pulling up from the 50 metre mark from 300 clicks make me "hard".
Don't mention the other sex parading in their best attire :D
Yep....give me 860hp in a 510 kg package with all the wizardry you can poke a stick at and I'm there!
The racing side of it is an extra.

I enjoy any sport involving a motor burning fuel, my most favourite being Bathurst because more can and usually does happen over the day than at most other races anywhere else and the result in most cases hangs in the balance until near the very end. Disappointment when a Ford leads and elation when a Holden leads (baits out ,who's going to bite), but even i would be pleased to see Glenn Seton finally crack the big one.
F1 has lost its appeal at the moment because nobody looks like being able to get close to the red brigade and where is the excitement when every mug punter can predict the results with a 95% certainty.
I certainly hope the rule changes can inject some unpredictability into the next season, and if it does i'll be watching it.

One thing we all have to agree on here is that it seems that the 'red cars go faster' myth is not really a myth in both F1 and the V8's:p
