I must say, now that I've had a few minutes with this...A GM Formula 1 team is actually one of the funniest concepts I've heard in awhile...

wwoooowww...could he be, somehow, related to The Stig?? Does he have webbed buttocks? Or is he terrified by ducks? :lol:

Maybe. Altough I also miss North Americans in F1, f1italy is "swimming seven lengths under water" right now, after yesterday's display of syntax. :)

I haven't had the chance to welcome you, shir0, my "quasi-namesake". ;) Sorry, I'm tiptoeing around some threads, so there you go: welcome by all means, regulations master extraordinaire.

I'm sure this is not the place to do so...but, Thank You, Prof. Ciro! I'm not so sure, though, about the "regulations master" part. As I've "typed" in another thread, I've only read the whole "sporting" two weeks ago. I haven't even read the "technical" regs, as I would not have a clue to what it's saying. :lol: For that, I depend on other guys here. Like you....or should it be Master Dave killens...the other guy who's always right? :mrgreen:

Oh, BTW, no one answered my previous post? Seariously now, is f1italia extremely terrified by ducks and he's scared of bells? Does he have "Mansell Syndrome"? Is he illegal in 17 U.S. states? Does his breath smell of magnesium too?...

Some say he is and has all of the above!
Some also say that his voice can only be heard by cats :lol:

I know Stig's American cousin. Some say he doesn't like F1 or Nascar or WRC or IRL, but rather Karting.

BTW, Ben Collins, the person that's likely to be the white Stig raced in NASCAR didn't he? Not sure if he really sucks moisture from ducks though... or if all his legs are hydraulic :)

There you go...

There might be some hope of a current NASCAR team branching out to F1...or even moving completely to F1!! That team has the option to employ a driver who naturally faces magnetic north (i must say, it is a pretty useful trait in low visibility situations and after a spin) and who has hydraulic legs!!!

Just so the FIA doesn't limit the pressure in the fluids by increasing hydraulic hose diameters and restricting output of compressors inside drivers...or ban hydraulic legs altogether... :mrgreen:

Back ontopic though.

Roumours suggest it's Ford who are working on their F1 project.
It's the Mustang-hybrid. Obviously it's the LM version with closed cockpit and wheels, but it can be converted to the openwheel opencockpit one with a saw. No tech specs are available yet, so I don't know if the legs are hydraulic. :D

Well, any additional team (preferably competitive) is welcome IMHO.
