Yeh, Bermie and Max screwing the fans again. Renault and Toyota, possibly BMW as well will walk with the rule change and cap leaving the shells of the teams trying to do a Brawn with whatever engine they can get their hands on and any funding they can get their hands on.

LOL, about 4-6 weeks ago Flav was in talks about buying Renault, so that tells me he knows he has to keep the team together once Renault walk. LOL Flav needs to keep in F1, i mean when he gets divorced again he needs to be part of the circus so he can meat the next 35yr old hottie :down:

What does this do to the current tracks? Are the tracks signed to F1, if yes does that mean that the "new" series would have to search for alternate venues?

I vote Oran park sydney. A nice mutli million dollar injection should keep those farkers away who are currently building houses on our favourite track! :P

I don't think the tracks matter. Burnie thretened to break contract with various ones over the years, so the track owners will more than likly do the same to him.

I still doubt it's going to happen. Burnie will give in, he just wants to make them work for it. How much are assesens these days? we could all chip in say $5, and get max and burnie knocked off.

Yeh, i am glad that i am getting to see a few of te OS rounds this year. Germany is next :) Seems next year i cold be watching USGP take the fight to Williams :P

And from another thread...

Has anyone here read this article?

http://www.pitpass.com/fes_php/pitpass_feature_item.php

A quick summary

Apparently back in the 1970's the teams unified under FOCA (Formula One Constructors Association) to break away from FISA (Federation Internationale du Sport Automobile) They thought as they the teams were spending all the money, they should have a say in the rules and regulations along with getting a bigger slice of the revenue.

The FOCA was led by two team owners...... guess who..... Max and Bernie.

By the 1980's a battle started between FISA and FOCA, ending in FOCA forming a sort of break away series.

The two ringleaders (Max and Bernie) got the positions of president of FIA for Max and Commercial rights holder for Bernie.

Its all just happening again.

You'd think Bernie and Max would understand what the teams are on about..... by the sounds of it they were doing the same thing themselves 25-30 years ago!!

I really hope FOTA walk and do their own thing. Bernies' group pocket way too much of the money and extort tracks and are taking the racing away from great tracks with history that can fill stands to, well the sphincter of the universe and Shanghai etc :)

I doubt that the tracks are signed to F1 exclusively as other categories use most tracks too, obviously street circuits are a different story. Bernie also owns at least one track too!

street circuits are the one'si was thinking of. Melb for example operates at a loss. If it is contracted and HAS to run an F1 event, could it afford to run a second event for the new series?

Similar for Singapore, Valencia etc Monaco?????

This could end up being extremely good for us fans. I agree, Max the fkn nazi with his stubborn endeavor to make a name for himself has almost single handedly destroyed the world's premier motor sport category. Bernie too should be ashamed of himself and frankly I'm a little surprised he didn't step in and try to diffuse this situation to some extent.

If in fact this happens and FOTA do form a 'breakaway' series, Bernie's precious money making machine (F1) as we know it would be almost worthless in the eyes of promoters and sponsors and the media.

Codemasters would prety pissed off right now no doubt after paying a fortune for the rights to make f1 games...

Whose gona want to play a game with gp2 cars and no manufacturers... Would be amusing if Sony quickly picks up the rights to make games based on the new series for a fraction of the cost bernie wanted

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      By Butters · Posted

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
