s2k7 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 to your Caterham..... http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/photos/revealed-the-new-2014-formula-one-cars-slideshow/
coffee break Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Let me guess... The rule making committee decided to see how ugly the could make the cars look. :puke:
cheapracer Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 My lady looked over my shoulder at the new cars and now wants to go to bed - what's that all about .....
s2k7 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) I think the lotus split & the ferrari did good. William is the worse Edited January 29, 2014 by s2k7
JohnK Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Ummm... What planet did you say your were reporting from, or was it those mushrooms my lady friend fed me. . . .
AndyB Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Is it still the same sport? Is it really progress? http://www.pbase.com/sarrana/image/105849143.jpg
JohnK Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Is it still the same sport? Is it really progress? An at-times unfortunate property of us humans is our appetite for novelty. As lovely as this car is and as much as I miss seeing such things, the people who ensure that there's income to support such things have to keep people coming to races, and most of the people who come to races want to see something new and different (even if it happens to be really ugly), and the governing bodies struggle to keep drivers alive, a somewhat level field of competition attainable to more than one or two factories, ..... And as the world turns, we lose some things and (hopefully and with a bit of patience) gain others. Thanks for the picture, Andy, can you ID it for us?
AndyB Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 All I know is the car is one of my all time favourite F1 cars a Lotus 33. Here it is again. Take large cigar tube, fill with fast components, squeeze in driver = http://www.pbase.com/sarrana/image/129136939.jpg
Kitcat Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 The photo looks like a Formula V, with skinny tires and minimal body (Note the driver's head above the roll-over bar: what could go wrong?).
AndyB Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 It should look similar to several formulas because it was Mr Cooper and Mr Chapman that started the modern race car layout.

I almost pull a trigger on the single seater Tiger ERA HSS http://www.tigerracing.com/era-hss.php I'm still very interested.

The wheels are too wide for FV. It looks like a early 60's F1. Or you could try this... http://www.f1-67.com/index.html

Kitcat Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Ya know, way back when, some early Lotus sevens ran in F1, w/o their fenders. They dont seem to have evolved as much as the F1 cars have:).
