I picked up on that one - must be significant amounts of investment from Toyota if they're redesigning a whole new car every 2/3 year!

Apparently a ballpark figure of $400'000'000 a year

Seriously large amounts of money.

The suspension geomentry on the B isn't the only unique thing on it though.

Klien on track.

Superb lap from Klien. Partially lucky on timing - but he kept it on the track.

Wonder how he'll do in 6 hours time.

R.Schumacher on track.

S1: 0.512 up
S2: 0.496 up
Time: 1:46.106

All in all a nice lap from Ralf - The B car is significantly better that the A car.

Shock that - Ralf can drive in the wet.

You can see nothing. I've driven race cars in this - it's one of the few things I've done thats scared me.

So - going to be interesting.

Raikkonen on track.

Raikkonen is also on full wets.

S1: 7.101 down
S2: 12.757 down
Time: 2:02.309

Coasting the lap - He's going to be last so why rush.

If it was drier - then he'd push.

Really wouldn't surprise me if he's loaded with fuel as well.

18	Tiago Monteiro		Jordan-Toyota		No Time
19	Jarno Trulli		Toyota			No Time
20	Juan Pablo Montoya	McLaren-Mercedes  	No Time

I think *been reading my rulebook here...* thats how the grid should shape up - as Raikkonen completed the lap and Monteiro, Trulli and Montoya didn't, he should be above them - even with the engine penalty.

Thats how I read it though...May be entirely different though.

Shaping up for the first BAR or Toyota win?

BAR is a lot more likely that Toyota - Ralf will go back to being a mobile roadblock again.

5hours and 20 mins and counting...

Don't know about anyone else, but the qualifying sessions aren't really the same when they're not live...

True - I had 20 txt file prepared with all the times in place - just needed to add my notes and the sector splits and then copy and paste after each run.

Far too easy.

But I'm sure most people here knew the results - kind of spoilt the fun though.

You staying up all night then Flib? What are you going to keep yourself amused with? Unless of course you have a hard drive of pr0n, then you'll be fine

Naah - thats all on DVD's in the entertainment section of my backups.

Errr..I mean..What pr0n?

Caffine, DVD's and Dungeon Siege 2

The wonders of having 3 Monitors and a laptop - Laptop playign the DVD and the main PC playing Dungeon Siege 2.

Thinking of mindless fun though - Where did I put those Bond dvd's?

Aha...found them.

I think I'll watch the ones that get me annoyed with their crapness - just to keep me awake.

All the Brosnen ones then.

I've missed having the Grand Prix parties this year.
