    Sounds like we've got ourselves a team, lets hope we 'design in' a manual method of shutting down the reactor, as automatic systems don't always work, particularily when they get damp !

    oh I see,.... lack of faith in the old water boy doing his job. Just to warn you, my agent is looking at positions for me at the Tepco electric F1 team...

    Bando, no mate, I've got total faith in our water boy, I was making an unkind but valid cynical reference to a very recent Pacific occurance.

    Ok, I've found El_Bando. He's working on the cooling system. - Told me he may take up Bernie's offer to help with the sprinklers if we keep pestering him…

    So we have a rudimentary design and engineering team now and a driver, and I've just found some free CFD software, so whats next guys? I mean I don't think we can make Sepang but I think China is within our grasp, and I'm sure the FIA will support our late entry. Can't be that hard can it?

    We need a good PR guy so when we turn up in Japan with a nuclear powered F1 car, things will be less awkward.

    True El_Bando, maybe if we get a japanese second driver they'd support us?

    Edit: Just saw the above, scrap that, Kimi is the way to go. "Excuse me Mr Raikonnen, how would you feel about driving a nuclear powered F1 car designed by a forum?" He'd love it.

    Oh, unfortunately guys, I've just found that the current smallest nuclear reactor has a 6.5m diameter and is 2 metres tall. Thats not going to help cornering. We just need pole though and nobody would be able to pass us!

    I hope its not the CFD programme that Virgin and Hispania are using, we'll get better results with a clean piece of paper and a sharp pencil and my trusty old abacus

    How about wireless power??(Proven-ish!) We turn up at a track and set up a massive solar array in the infield, then beam the power to the car from points around the circuit, so it always gets power. We can have KERS on top of that if people want it?
