Ferrari vs. Fighter jet |
|
| |
I did mentioned it a few weeks ago...but here is the official statement from the Ferrari site:
Maranello, 6 November - Roma, 8 December 1931: Tazio Nuvolari at the wheel of an Alfa Romeo 2300 met a Caproni 100 biplane in a showdown at the Littorio track. Fifty years later, on 22 November 1981, history repeats itself as Gilles Villeneuve and his Ferrari 126 Ck takes on an F104.
Illustrious names from the past only add to the fascination of the auto-aero battle which will take place once again this year when the best in each category will exploit the most advanced technology. On 11th December, at Baccarini Airport of Grosseto, the jet plane and the Ferrari will line up, guided by two extraordinary figures: Michael Schumacher will be in the seat of the F2003-GA, the single-seater in which he claimed his sixth world crown, and Maurizio Cheli, the astronaut from Modena, in the cockpit |

Pocher F40 LM |
|
| |
 What if...you have two Pocher F40s (scale 1/8). Yes...it's hard to believe, because the F40 is very hard to find...but just imagine. Then you can, ofcourse, sell the second one, or built it and look to two F40s. But you can also buy this: the conversion transkit for the Pocher 1/8 F40 including full body and engine modifications.
Then you can make a real F40 LM...scale 1/8!
On the website they say this:
This Le Mans version transkit includes all of the accurate race parts, interior, body, and engine modifications of the actual car. Not for the novice modeller - requires modification of the metal body (cut hole in hood for radiator outlet, NACA duct, etc.), engine, and repainting. Many reference photos are included on CD, but the instruction manual is primitive and not on par with the Autograph transkit. Nuts, bolts, and screws which may be desired for final detailing are not included, but the hardware superdetail setwill provide enough for this model and many others. Does not include the Pocher Ferrari F40 donor kit, which you will need to build a complete model. $895. incl US s/h in stock

Will Renault be the real 'enemy' next year. All eyes are on Williams and McLaren, but don't forget Renault. The team was very strong last year...and now, in the first all wet test it was the Renault from F. Montagny that was the quickest in Valencia. He beated R.Briscoe with his Toyota, M.Gené in the Williams and A.Wurz with the McLaren. 
Luciano Burti has crashed hard in Barcelona in the last turn. He destroyed the front as well as the back of this F2003GA.
Luciano Burti and Felipe Massa were testing for Ferrari for the first time for the season 2004. At the track in Barcelona the came together with Sauber and BAR in action. The were by far the fastest. But Ferrari had also some problems...Burti had technical problems after only 36 laps and had to call it a day. Massa, who will be driving for Sauber next season, tested this time the Ferrari. Sauber only brought Fisichella in action. The Italian drove 98 laps with his car and took the third time. 
Isn't this a nice view...would love to see that in my mirror (and I mean ofcourse that air-inlet :D). Picture from sparetireless...FerrariChat again :) 
No more Frensh GP. Because of payment problems Bernie Ecclestone as deleted the Frensh GP at Magny Cours from the 2004 calander. The race was held their since 1991. 
Remember the song from the eighties? What's the color of money...well now you know; here you see a white F50...and that must have cost a lot of money :) 
Yeah...you just wonder what to do when you see this...eh...thing. Laugh or cry. I went for the first *LOL*. What do people think when they create things like this :S. 
Saw this at FerrariForum.net. (tnx ajengli)
When you just search a bit on the net you already find lot's of Enzos for sale...Why is that? Only 399 of these supercars were built. When you wanted to buy one, the Factory first wanted to check you out...that you didn't want to buy it only as an investement.
Last friday Michael Schumacher was karting for the charity. The race was organised by Unesco, the organisation of the United Nations from which Micheal is an ambassador.
