You do realise its a rescue centre and they are far better off in their new lives.

But yeah don't read anything and make silly comments, much easier.

The Black Jaguar-White Tiger™ Foundation has 4 main purposes:

1.- To rescue as many Animals in need from sad circumstances like circuses, breeding facilities (Both legal and illegal) and from people that have them as pets, providing them with a home, the best food and medical care available, and a life of dignity and Love for the rest of their lives.

2.- To raise awareness worldwide through pictures and videos using our Social Media Platforms and by giving conferences in Universities and other podiums that will host us. we try to help the millions of people that follow us to fall in Love with our rescues so that as a consequence they learn to fall in Love with their Planet. And just like Jacques Cousteau said:

“YOU ONLY PROTECT WHAT YOU LOVE.”

FOR THIS, WE USE EVERY “TOOL” AT OUR DISPOSAL, LIKE THE COUNTLESS CELEBRITIES THAT HELP US SPREAD OUR MESSAGE OF LOVE, RESPECT AND UNITY.

3.- To continue working hand by hand with the Mexican Government, to keep changing laws in order to protect all species of Animals in Mexico and inspire all countries around the world to join us.

4.- We are developing a massive project together with the Mexican gubernamental agencies (SEMARNAT & PROFEPA) to help fauna endemic to Mexico (More info coming soon).

We also believe that in a couple of years, with the amount of awareness that we are raising together with all the people that currently are working extra hard to protect our Planet, we will be able to regain the lost Lion, Tiger and Leopard habitat in Africa and Asia, and perhaps we will be able to help increase the numbers of those species.

That seems to be the long and short of it, also Hamilton has supported them for years and has known this particular tiger since it was rescued at a young age, he was the one who named it Nicole. Still, even with a big cat that is familiar with you it takes balls larger than mine to play with it, and this obviously isn't a tiger that sees Hamilton on a daily or weekly basis.

Chadwick Motorsport has announced the introduction of Formula UK, a new single-seater championship that will make its debut in 2017.

Formula UK will race with Rodin RZed chassis, which is based on the Lotus T125, a Formula 1-inspired car intended for private racing leagues.

The organisers claim that Formula UK cars will produce more downforce than the Dallara GP2/11, which is currently used by GP2.

Powering the Formula UK cars will be a new 4.0-litre, V10 engine that churns out 640 horsepower.

For those that like shouty engines of the past :p
 
Surely the grid will be about 5 cars? And during the winter? Best of luck to them I guess. Should it be based at UK tracks it'd be awesome to see cars this quick round Brands or Oulton.

So it turns out I will be meeting Damon hill on Friday. Any good questions that I should ask him if the opportunity arises?

Ask him how he gets the splinters out of his arse :D.

He sits on the fence way more than any other pundit. It's annoying watching him squirm when pressed for an opinion.

If you don't want to ask that... get a pic of him holding a piece of paper with OcUK on it.
 
Scalabroni says that the windscreen element will pop up through two means – either through manual activation by the driver, or automatically through sensors fitted on the car.

“There is a button placed on the steering wheel that can be operated by the driver in case of an accident,” he said.

I give it all of 5 minutes before the Red Bull drivers are deploying the screen on the straights because Newey has managed to manipulate the aero in such a way that the rear wing stalls when it's deployed ;)

Massa, Bianchi, Wheldon, Wilson and Surtees beg to differ.

The halo wouldn't of saved them and you know it. The halo MAY save someone if a tire\rim hits them
but what about a spring that hit Massa? that's right it wouldn't of stopped that either.

Oh sorry. Was it about the active windscreen that I posted about?

Even that wouldn't stop everything. It's called a freak accident for a reason.

Of course it won't stop everything, but give them a fighting chance.

We didn't get to where we are now through just sitting back and thinking "well, it might help". Back in the 50s a crash inevitably ended up with the car catching fire, to the extent where it was preferable not to wear seatbelts and hope you were thrown out of the car than risk being stuck in it! Thankfully we didn't just think "meh **** it" like some on this subject.
