This is what Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz have to be rather than being Yes Men.

I just stumbled upon this thread and man, am I glad it's here—even if it's two years old! The motorsport world has been a rollercoaster lately, hasn't it? With all the crazy F1 and WRC action, there's never a dull moment.

On the JDM side, I've been eyeing some classic gems at https://www.jdmbuysell.com/for-sale/nissan/silvia/. They have an impressive range of Nissan Silvias that caught my eye. If you're into JDM culture, it's a site worth visiting.

So, what's the latest buzz? Anybody been to any recent races or gotten a new ride? This thread may be aging like a fine wine, but the love for motorsport and cars never gets old.

Im done with F1 right now. Redbull is too op.

I watch mainly wec and wrc at times.

Sometimes watch v8 supercars. Bathurst 1000 is a great race.

Jaguar did have an F1 team from 2000 to 2004.

It ended in utter failure.

Never understood why vendors like Jaguar make F1 teams. In my opinion it is a waste of money. Better invest in improving the cars themselves.

Even with a satisfied CCJ, car finance remains within reach, especially if you can show steady income and a clear budget. Lenders may offer deals at around 19.9% APR so a £10,000 car could cost £255 monthly across five years and £15,329 in total. What helps most is approaching brokers who already work with imperfect credit files rather than walking into a dealership unprepared. A solid starting point for honest estimates that won’t dent your score is Carboom particularly if you’re weighing deposit size against long-term repayment stress.

it turned out that F1 business is not profitable for almost all vendors and it is a matter of prestige.

Ford Motor company's corporate culture offered barely any kind of autonomy for a F1 team to grow.
