Have you ever seen the Fifth Gear espisode where Tiff drives a Williams F1 versus an M5. The F1 blows away the M5.
Here it is: 5th Gear F1 vs M5
A 135i won't have a chance. They'd have to start it 1/3 to 1/2 lap ahead.

Fiat vs Ferrari road car vs Ferrari F1 with Mr Schumacher at the helm...
The F1 cars starts WELL behind the others. You can guess the rest!

I think Vikki's reaction, when she was racing Tiff, when she squeals in delight at the sound of the Williams coming past her was great!! Pretty much sums up the incredible sound these cars make

It's only when you see the different cars racing side by side, that you can fully appeciate the awsome power of the F1 cars

What's even more amazing is to be near a turn and hear AND FEEL the incredible acceleration & shifting speed of the cars hitting 19k RPMS each gear and shrieking away from you in seconds.

Agree hearing a F1 car in person is just amazing. There would be even more racing fanatics, if everyone could see a race in person.
Also if anyone has a chance to see a MotoGP race in person, do it. Those bikes are insanely loud!

Nice one Phil... 
It was starting to get a bit cluttered, with stuff all over the place.
Roll on Melbourne

Well just finished watching practice. From the looks of it, this season is going to be very interesting.

here are the results. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport...lts/7919658.stm ......look at some of the names in the top 10 of both sessions. In case anyone is wondering, the fastest time last year was a 1:25.187 by L. Hamilton in Q2 of qualifying.
