Does anyone know why Rubens has the lead car? Why has he got the lower number and orange camera roll hoop?
Finishing position from last year maybe? Not sure...

Anyone noticing the revs on the Mac?

The Renaults are revving out to 19000, but the Merc is revving to about 19200 - much better considering they were having to rev limit the engines to ~17500 during the testing months..

It would **** me off and make me go harder - so maybe he does need pushing?

You know that "Slow Down" ad? (Apart from the fact they are shoving it down our throats!!!) - I don't reckon that guy would have walked away from an impact like that, especially if he was going that fast!!???

It's the guy in the white crummodore driving on a country road with his stereo pumping away, and he is obviously speeding, then all of a sudden comes up behind a truck, tries to avoid him, and ends up T-boning a white Ute. And the followup segment has a cop telling the guy he is going to be charged for reckless driving etc...

I mean, he isn't driving a MINI, is he??? ;) ;) :biggrin: :biggrin:

Oh, that JCW Challenge video has a camera inside one of the MINIs as it flips over on its roof!! And there was a passenger in the car too - don't know why, but I bet he wasn't too impressed LOL

It is starting to look like the "Fat Lady" hasn't sung yet. Could be any of the first few at the moment.
