Dear members,

Fridaymorning 5.00 am I will leave for the GP F1 in Monaco at sunday Mat 27th to see how the BMW guys are doing.

My guess is that one car end up at 4th place, the other BMW at 7th place.

Betting is open now, the one that gets the results exactly right, get forever fame.
Betting is open until Sunday 2.00 pm cet.

F1 engine dyno @ 160db.

Home again, watched the video. Note that they imitate the Monza Italy track. 100%throttle at 70% of a lap. The 160 dB noise is true. It was in qualifying
at Monaco unbearable without ear plugs. (sitting 6 mtrs from the track.) During the race I sat a little further with no building behind me so it was bearable.
Stille got a beep in my ears till the next morning.

Pics are coming up tomorrow. Got some interesting pics while teams where loading for leaving the track on Sunday evening.

Cool can not wait to see them.
Saw the race last night, I love the way how Hamilton drive his car on this track, Power slide on a F1 car cool. It not smooth driving but it looks good for the viewer on TV.

Saw this news "FIA to investigate McLaren team orders"

Thank you for sharing the pictures.

Great shot of the harbor. There's got to be over $100,000,000 USD worth of yachts right there.

I like the shot of the tire warmers with the digital gauges.

My favorite is the picture of the BMW F1 team at the end. They remind me of the BMW technicians that service my car.
