Ferraris in search of race-trim |
|
| |
 The free practice of the German GP showed that Coulthard still wants to show that he can drive fast. He was the fastest on the friday and helt the two Renaults of Truli and Alonso behind him. Raikonnen did something completely different, and drove the 15th time. Both the Ferraris were not trying to get to the best time. They were trying to get the car in the right ballance for the sunday race. Therefor came Schumacher not further then the 11th time and Barrichello a even worse 16th.
The new driver from Minardi was last, but only a short distance behind his teammate Jos Verstappen. |

Update Miniatures! |
|
| |
 I added some new miniatures to the site. Scale 1/8 this time, very nice models, but also very expensive. I wish I had the money...but I can only look at some nice pictures! Under the pictures are links to the site(s) were you can buy them! The link page is also, again, updated. Some nice new sites were added! Enjoy! |

Just amazing!! |
|
| |
 I didn't believe it until I saw the RealMedia file on the site of Fine Art Models. A Ferrari 312 PB, fully working. Including the 'real' V12 sounds! Yes...you read it right: fully working. The engine can be start by key (as seen on video) and the engine runs, gearbox works, steering, lights everything!
This 'model' is built by Pierre Scerri from France. It took him 15 years (20.000 hours) but what a result! Just visit the site, watch the gallery and even more...download the video! Fantastic!! |

 Yesterday the European Sportnetwork 'Eurosport' showed it on television, the match between the superstars of sport and the superstars of entertainment. In the sportteam there were four F1 drivers: Giancarlo Fisichella, Jos Verstappen (?), Olivier Panis and Michael Schumacher.
 The score was 9-6 for the red team of sports! Michael, Olivier and Giancarlo were all responsable for one goal.

Happy Jay Kay! |
|
| |
 A bit of an old story, (April 15th) but still...I didn't know it and found it interesting enough for ForzaRossa.nl.
Sports car fanatic Jay Kay, leadsinger of Jamiroquai, is bursting with pride as he picks up his 14th car. The singer forked out £425,000 for a special black Enzo in Maranello, Italy. It is the last one of the 399 Enzos built.
The 33-year-old Jamiroquai star’s other cars include several Ferraris, SEVEN different Mercedes, a Bentley and a Lamborghini.
In 1998, after he was caught speeding, Jay had his driving licence taken away! Temporarily unable to drive, he amused himself by purchasing a 500-year-old, eleven-bedroom Buckinghamshire mansion once owned by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Ex-girlfriend Denise Van Outen once said he got more excited about cars than sex. |

Rumours go in F1 pits |
|
| |
 There are some rumours going in the pits. As always halfway the season the drivers are negosiating with all teams for a seat next year. Even the topdrivers are talking to other teams. What was Montoya doing with McLaren?? Does he wants to drive there next year? BMW motorsports director Gerhard Berger says that he doens't want to lose Montoya, he would like to see both drivers for another year in the team.
For Ferrari things will probably not change next year. Michael Schumacher has signed for the team until 2006 and Barrichello also has a contract for 2004. So no changes there...I think :) |

24 Hours Of Spa |
|
| |
 We are just back. Home from two days of racing cars...loud noise...rain and a beautiful hotel!! We, my girlfriend and I, went to the 24 Hours Of Spa Francorchamps. She won tickets in a contest. When we arrived, saturday morning, it was very nice weather and we went to the paddock for some signiatures of drivers. There were also some nice Ferrari's at display, including the Enzo. Later we went to the other side of the track and sat at the tribune, first the one without the roof (cost were 6 euro each extra) later, when it went raining, to the one with roof (another 12 euro each extra!). There we saw some nice things! Ow...and we bought headphones...because the cars on the straight, especially the 360 Modanas, what a sound!!
Later I will show more pictures, and larger ones...but here is the 24h of Spa in a noteshell :)...ow and by the way...look at my T-shirt :D
