    Realistically I am probably wrong, but I meant the FW18.

    Oh, i reckon either of them could beat the HRT. The FW18 would probably destroy an HRT.

    For anyone who didn't see the Gold Coast 600 yesterday, if you can try and pull up some of the highlights from Race 1. The battle between Salo and Bourdais was pretty intense but the greatest moment was Salo's pitstop; got out of the car, was pissed off about the radio communication, and tripped over a tyre a second later <laugh>

    Ooft. Although for £80k, I'm disappointed you only get carbon fibre 'detail', not a full carbon fibre tub. The tyres are genuine Pirelli's though it seems. It's got a computer built in, so can I use it for Word too?

    If this is static, it's a bit of a rip-off, financially. A 'real' training sim, on a computerised jig which throws you all over the place to simulate G-Forces (they can actually generate about 1G for very brief moments), can be bought for just a tiny bit more – although they don't usually give you a load of pretty (but completely redundant) bodywork.

    I found it really interesting. I'm still amazed they actually built a working Lotus Submarine car. Top gear made something that worked.

    they're good fun, I had a go on one of them a couple of years ago, the only complaint I had was when braking hard there was a lack of feedback through the car so it always felt like you'd lost the front end

    Pffff, Jamie acting like a bitter twat as per usual still haven't seen him stop eating out of Alonso's toilet this year and give Seb one actual good word, he hates his guts ever since he got fired by RBR:emoticon-0106-cryin

    He likes trying to make it sound he could get in that car within seconds and do the same thing!

    He's a Benson Mark 2.

    Jaime, if you're reading this....stop being a tool just because you weren't good enough to be Seb's boot polisher! :emoticon-0173-middl
