    Hope it's fitted with a recovered energy-powered air conditioner that blows out the back. Maybe with some downforce and not overheating there'll be some passing next season. #formula1

    In reply to New Lotus F1 Car: First Look
    As a Lotus enthusiast and owner of three of them, I have to say I'm glad to see Lotus back in Formula 1. The Cosworth engine is great to see, thankfully they didn't use a Vauxhall or Toyota engine like in their current roadgoing lineup. A Cossie is the only engine fit for a Lotus race car, with the possible exception of the Ford Indy V8 used in the 1960s. I too hope they bring back the black-and-gold color scheme, although British Racing Green with yellow accents or the Gold Leaf color scheme would be nice too. #formula1

    That's a pretty funky design - intresting front wing, and little winglets flanking the air intake out back. Not to mention the running board. #formula1

    @Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: Err, those little winglets that would be the in-car camera pods (that all current F1 cars have)?

    If it doesn't stink of GRP, fall apart at random intervals throughout the race, play fast and loose with the driver's safety, isn't built in Hethel and doesn't have a type number, it isn't a real Lotus. It is instead the zenith of Formula 1 as a purely marketing excercise.

    Speaking of which, someone in a black polo neck and oblong glasses should have realised it should be Toyota powered, like the road cars. For like, proper marketing synergy or some such bullshit.

    Make sure when you fill out the entry form you put:

    Also there is no place to add your State if you live on this side of the pond. Thats right, just like at hat at an orgy, States don't matter.

    The MP4 24 might be a bit slow to start the season, and as much as I love me some 917 action, any F1 car would blow that thing (and dear old Steve) by Tetre Rouge, if not sooner. The times have changed.


    Yes, I would like to see it, and that segment didn't creep me out as much as I thought that it would.

    While the first automatic watch I wanted to own was a Tag Heuer Pilot, I came to my senses and went instead with an Omega Speedmaster triple-date, in stainless, natch.


    Any timepiece maker who goes on to make battery-powered quartz devices turns immediately into a Timex wannabe.


    Still, I wouldn't mind having a Casio Pathfinder and a Citizen world time whatchamacallit.


    Beater watches, if you will.


    Hey, wait, my watch cost more than most of the cars I've owned. I've got my priorities straight....
