A very coordinated dance move on the podium by the world champions, not too sure if it was planed, but heh… Massa doesn’t look a bit impressed at all. The occasion? The 2006 German Grand Prix.

BMW M 1-Series, Full Photoshop Render

caseyliew — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 17:26:19 +0000

A member of 1Addicts has recently rendered a hopefully close resemblance of what the BMW M1 would look like (note, M 1-Series). I would say that the car might look very much like this. Quad exhaust, 19-in wheels, carbon fibre rear diffuser, raised rear wing, carbon fibre roof, and some a ton of other good stuff.

As we’ve heard, the car will most probably be powered by a lightweight power-plant, something that is closer to a turbo-charged 4 cylinder.

I do hope that BMW will unveil this tiny beauty, as it will certainly restore the essence of driving pleasure.

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, Fastest F1 Safety Car

The 2010 Formula 1 season will be adopting a new safety car, the SLS AMG. It seems that the previous pack leader is a tad too slow for the pack, indeed, and the answer to this is a supercharged V-8 supercar.

The gullwing will be piloted Bernd Maylander. He has been a Formula 1 safety car driver ever since the year 2000. Maylander was previously a DTM race car driver.

A special number plate has been designed for the safety car and it includes 700 LED’s which will provide clarity for all sort of conditions.

It weighs less than the average Formula 1 car, heck, it is greener than the greenest hybrid, and oh, it is cheap to rebuild in case of any sudden crashes. I present to you, the Puma Formula 1 car (created by The Wilson Brothers).

Sad to say, this is not entering the 2010 Formula 1 Championship. But I do wonder, if Brawn were to manage this team, they might just win 10 championships in a row.
