That new NSX isn't bad looking, but it's kind of "generic future car" looking to me. It doesn't really stand out like the classic did. That new Supra isn't great either (I think this is an earlier concept version, I can't remember) but at least it looks like something more unique.



Edit: this actually seems a lot more like it came from a 3rd gen RX-7 than a mkIV Supra.

This looks like a low rent Enzo

Big Giovinazzi managed to be second fastest in testing today in the Ferrari, .696 seconds behind Hamilton. Hopefully this means he didn't lose all confidence when he pulled that moron move in China.

The problem you're having is the Enzo looks quite bad and that looks quite good, I can see where you're getting confused.

How much does Mallya have to do with Force India nowadays? I was under the impression he was funding it less and less as they got more sponsors and sold ownership.

I don't think he's "sold ownership" so much as "he lost a bunch of lawsuits and Diageo owns half his business now."

There were also engine woes for Honda, with McLaren development driver Oliver Turvey only able to complete two installation laps in the morning. Honda had discovered a water leak in the ERS, which prompted the need for a replacement power unit to be fitted.

After hours spent waiting in the garage, Turvey was able to get running again in the final hour and was able to complete 17 laps – although ended up at the bottom of the timesheets.

loving lol how many engines have tehy gone through already. The McLaren mechanics must be so sick of replacing the power units at this point for every single session.

Zak Brown is literally just another Adam Parr. A businessman who isn't interested in actually pushing towards the front as long as the books are balanced. That's all Williams was for years and years.

Zak's only interest lies in being competitive, getting sponsors back and balancing the books. If that means not necessarily pushing to be at the front that's fine. As long as sponsors get to mingle at the races, business deals take place, and there's some ROI then it's all gravy.

Zak's also drat good at his job but he shouldn't be in the driver's seat of the organization he should be one of the engineers on the pit wall giving options to the big boss.

Customer engines will not have the stigma to Zak.
