There's currently applications being accepted for new teams for 2015. They have to pay £5k to apply and then have to provide evidence of how they can afford it, who their backers are, drivers, technology owned/ with access to, staff you have available etc. Applications close at the end of Jan. £5k...Try $5 mill...!!! :yahoo: No, $5k. "Several specific requirements must be met for initial consideration to be added as a 12th team in Formula 1, according to the FIA. These include a $5,000 "initial registration" fee. Other requirements include: "A cover letter introducing the candidacy; the candidate’s full contact details; the candidate entity’s certificate of incorporation, details of its administrative headquarters, the date of founding/registration, its company number, a copy of its statutes/memorandum and articles of association or equivalent as well as details regarding its management generally." In addition, potential teams need to submit: "the identity of all shareholders and the ultimate beneficial owner of all shares; a curriculum vitae for each director and officer of the company; and information on the candidate’s relevant experience and capabilities, including technical experience, racing experience, facilities, equipment and engineering resources." All of the above needs to be submitted to the FIA's Secretariat before 5:00 p.m. CET on January 3, 2014. Late submissions will be considered only at the discretion of the FIA. The FIA indicates that once a formal expression of interest is filed, the full application process will commence. This will include a total application fee of $130,000 (against which the $5,000 will be applied). Among its selection criteria, the FIA has indicated the following may be considered: "the technical ability and resources of the team; the ability of the team to raise and maintain sufficient funding to allow participation in the Championship at a competitive level; the team’s experience and human resources; the FIA’s assessment of the value that the candidate may bring to the Championship." That's the FIA fee structure, Bernie hasn't applied his fees yet...!!

Just look's like a bunch of pu**ies beating up on one or two guys to me. Sucker punching people when they're not expecting it. On another note Will ~ looked at the build thread for your car. Very interesting and I think it look's much better now you own it especially after you changed the black lights. I changed them again to genuine rear LEDs as the ones from the US were faulty after a month.

Great video, very entertaining on Christmas day..!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=1i9-jEm2hIw

Absolutely true. : Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo has slammed Formula 1's reliance on simulators as a 'joke'. With F1's recent strict in-season testing ban having forced teams to rely on ever more complicated simulator technology, di Montezemolo thinks the time has come for a rethink. He believes that the expense of simulators is now such that serious consideration should be given to a wholesale return to testing as it would be better for teams - and cheaper. "It is a joke," said di Montezemolo during a lunch with media at Fiorano. "We have been forced to invest a huge amount of money in these terrible machines, artificial, instead of testing here [at Fiorano] and Mugello. "If somebody has no money to do tests, it is better to race in GP2, in go karts or go and play basketball. I want to do testing to first of all give new drivers the possibility to drive cars and get experience. "But I also want to give more opportunities to the public because from one race weekend to another it is silent in F1. There is nothing, nothing. "Testing is also a good opportunity for the sponsors, to call the public. And tests are less expensive than building and developing every month the terrible simulator. This is something we have to discuss for the future." Although di Montezemolo is aware that F1 costs are too high, he believes restricted testing dumbs F1 down - something he is vehemently against. "I think in soccer if you want to compete in the Champions' League, you have to buy good players, you have to train sometimes even five times in a day. This is competition," he said. "I think that it is ridiculous that in F1, from one side, we are not allowed to test, and from the other side we are forced to spend a huge amount of money in the windtunnel in which we develop aerodynamics that I cannot transfer any of to my [road] cars. "I don't want it to seem that I am a conservative old fan of F1. I think if we were allowed to do more testing, the scandal of the tyres [in 2013] would not have happened because even for Pirelli it is very difficult as they cannot do too many tests." F1's testing ban has been relaxed for 2014, allowing a number of in-season tests to take place following grands prix during the year.

THE NATIONAL Road Safety Authority in Ireland has urged motorists to drive like absolute lunatics in wet road conditions today. Gardai have also asked all road users to exercise extreme disregard for the weather and to drive as recklessly as humanly possible. Cheif Super Intendant Michael Murray told WWN that people should ignore all warnings and drive as fast as they can through the floods. “If you are travelling under 120km an hour you are likely to get stuck in the flood.†he said. “The best thing to do is to make sure you are going fast enough to skim across the water like a large stone.†Careful drivers caused problems for rush-hour commuters in many parts of Dublin earlier this morning. Motorists have been urged to ‘shunt’ slow moving drivers off the road and out of harms way. “It is imperative these vehicles be taken out as quickly as possible to avoid further delays in traffic.†added Mr. Murray. The RSA advised that no road was impassable due to flooding. It is down to the driver to grow a pair of ba**s and tackle the flood head-on and as fast as possible. In Waterford motorists are being told to ’man the f*** up’ and avoid turning back when they see a flood. AA Roadwatch said motorists these days are turning into pussies and should be made wear ‘P’ plates if they refuse to challenge a flood. “People have gone soft over the past twenty years.†the organisation said. “Making drivers wear P plates is probably the only solution to this problem. †“Its only a sup of water lads.†they added.

I know this was a few years ago, but always worth a watch, He got paid £2 mill by Red Bull for it. He said "never again" not even for £10 mill. Cant say I blame him... :scare: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=RPqvT1SCb_M
