Its highlights were that year webber spun out in the wet and when they sent a fire truck down that long straight when the cars were at racing speed.

I wasn't aware, mainly because I don't care about another useless team that brings nothing to the sport other than tears, sorrow, humiliation and disgrace.

I think you'll find they will also engage heavily in tax evasion, a celebrated F1 past time.

No. Even in death nobody could catch him. Best Champion.

Ickx pretty much said he didn't want to win. Plus he was fried toasty in the first race and sucked poo poo for a while. And the 3rd place man didn't even start in most of the race. 1970 worst WDC.

It's in Austrian but just skip around for interviews in English not to mention great '60s/'70 footage of just driving an F1 car through town in order to get to the track.

I get why the series wants to focus on city circuits because of the whole green angle, but I hope they'll include road courses in the future.

The companies funding Formula E want to have their electrical vehicle infrastructure installed in the downtown areas of cities, so they can reap the benefits of that after the race is over. So they're all going to be downtown.

Can someone just make a Formula E thread? All this talk about an electric car series is making me even more depressed than I already am.

All the cool stuff like WEC are in the Misc thread, all the trash series are here buddy.

Btw, does kingfisher airlines still exist?

By early 2012, the airline accumulated losses of over INR70 billion (US$1.1 billion) with half of its fleet grounded and several members of its staff going on strike. Kingfisher's position in top Indian airlines on the basis of market share had slipped to last from 2 because of the crisis. In December 2011, for the second time in two months, Kingfisher's bank accounts were frozen by the Mumbai Income Tax department for non-payment of dues. Kingfisher Airlines owes INR70 crore (US$11 million) to the service tax department.[19] Indian tax body also stated that Kingfisher Airlines is delinquent[20] On 20 October 2012, Kingfisher's licence was suspended by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation after it failed to address the Indian regulator's concerns about its operations.[21] On 25 February 2013, its international flying rights and domestic slots were scrapped by the Indian aviation authorities.[22]
In July 2014, Kingfisher Airlines has appeared as the country's top NPA after it has failed to repay loans of over Rs 4,000 crore borrowed mainly from state-owned banks.[23]

Seems legit

Edit: ahaha they had 67 AirBus 320s on order what the poo poo. They just tried to buy all new planes for a new airline gg

Not yet. I don't know if the profiles are salvageable because the main site was "infected with a virus". One of the original guys called it quits.

Couldn't someone crawl the google cache or wayback machine? Losing those would suck, because the profiles were well written.

That's actually Rosberg's desk but Bernie already negotiated for it to be given to him for free. Makes the nazi helmet more understandable.
