Still, it's sad that Honda's oval piston shape or valve head or whatever technology was never further developed. It sounded like it was going to be promising. Oh well, these regulations might put a damper on the tech aspect but it doesnt' do a damn thing to weaken the roar of an F1 car at 19k rpm!

Juan Manuel Fangio perhaps? Considered by many to be the best.
I'm sure there are some things on the street today that owe their creation to F1.
There's no greater automotive sound then a F1 car running ***** to the wall. Woowee! I love it!

kungpaosamuraiii - are you talking about Jim Clark? Like the Capn' said, Fangio may have been the best of all time, but he was not killed behind the wheel.
It took some real ***** to drive those cars back before all the saftey advances that we have today.

True, those guy back in the day had ***** of ..I dunno..cast titanium or something...but even with modern safety advances you still have to be damn courageous. Can you imagine pulling an excess of 3gs in a turn? I sure as hell can't.

I really love F1 I remember watching in my younger years when Senna was king of the track....
Hey, does anybody know where I can find some F1 decals for Toyota F1 Racing for my tC? Or maybe some Senna decals?
Are all of the races on speed? Any other channels usually carry the races here? I have to give DirecTV a call and make sure that I get speed channel.
