In other news, Trulli are going for Reject of the Second Season. They are already Rejects of the Pre-Season Testing... Oh, i wouldn't go that far. it seemed that way for a long time, but if Trulli is willing to continue testing and paying out of his own pocket, then i say "have a go". bot...

I see Team Aguri have added some flares.

Much as i like to believe this paintjob was inspired by the late-eighties March, ill just play it straight and say this is NextEV's new colors.

btw, how did your day go?

Snoozey2

Now what can THIS be? Haven't seen this livery around before.

Looks like old Jarno might already be abandoning his new powertrain and emulating Aguri for the season [Groan] Yeah... Well, at least Agag is giving Trulli the option of working on it if he's willing to cover traveling expenses (although the former is not too keen on spiraling costs, with good reas...

If i could just hi-Jacques this thread for a while, i like to ask you guys something. http://i.imgbox.com/xcUvh5E5.jpg Auto buffs have their petrolheads and noiseheads, but in the EV circle the big question is: "to gear or not to gear?" When Formula E first fitted a Hewland 5-speed sequent...

Quite possibly the single greatest shot in the history of ever:

Never has "boring" looked so cool.

But sadly, the Trulli train is still in the siding, unable to build up a head of steam. http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/thomasthetankengineandfriendsclassic/images/2/29/TheSadStoryofHenry.png/revision/latest?cb=20111212033252 Never mind steam... did they even show up for testing the last couple...

Team Aguri is YOUR personal benchmark for technological progress? So what's everybody else going to use as their benchmark? hey, it's not as easy as it sounds. simply by committing to the season 1 package, Team Aguri have thrown down the proverbial gauntlet, in that: 1) any advantage gained from th...

If nothing else, be comforted by the thought that there will always be a place for Kamui on a Japanese TV show:

The final race has been run.
Time to make good on my promise: the Japanese broadcast of Suzuka 2012, in its entirety.

Gutierrez for next year's RotY. Possibly, but only if Caterham doesn't take van der Garde. Whoa, whoa, whoa... this thread is for Cowboy, not for pre-emptively bashing his replacements. I'd like to keep my memory of Kamui's remaining time in F1 a happy one, if i can. Why not reminisce about his rac...

Snoozey2

Snoozey2, You are annoying me. You don't want to discuss Kamui's prospects of getting a new seat for 2013. You only want to bash him... I already have discussed his prospects: see post above . Not bashing... merely being realistic of his chances. Since we're on the subject of prospects, what do you...

Snoozey2

Another sign the end is nigh: Kamui kicks off an online fundraising campaign.
Or a sign of hope... whatever works.

If you wish to contribute to his "KickStarter", please visit KAMUI SUPPORT for more details. Thank you.

You know the end is nigh when all you can get is moral support from the original trollface:

Well, I guess this is it. Last race. Last start, last lap, last corner.... or last crash, whichever comes first. Interlagos 2012 should be Kamui Kobayashi's 60th F1 GP start. The cold, cold stats tell this story: 59 race starts. 15 retirements. 1 disqualification. 3 6th-place finishes. 2 5th-place f...

A handful of Japanese sites are running with this one: Kamui Kobayashi as a possible candidate for 2013 Pirelli test driver.

Dear oh dear... now ah got me no Cowboy and no Horse. What-evah shall ah do? How-evah shall ah ride to Texas on tahm?

Snoozey2

Although the fat lady is clearing her throat, she has not started singing yet. I believe that we will see Kamui for at least one more season in F1. While i'm not optimistic, i'll be indulgent this one post and agree with you: say Cowboy gets one more season. Where would he go? Teams "locked&qu...

Two races left. The horse is saddled. Time to say goodbye to Miss Betsy-chan down at the saloon - Daddy's sushi restaurant beckons. 6th place at Yas Marina to match the one from three years ago.

Hmm... 13th on the grid at Gangnam, 17th at the Buddhoir, and now 16th at Abbadabba-doo. Looks like a man who may be distracted about the more important things in life.

Three races left. Well, at least one Japanese website believes Kimi driving Lotus for a 2nd season is reason for faint optimism, since the team didn't mention the vowel-less wonder in the same sentence: Link: http://f1-gate.com/kamui/f1_17140.html Hey, buddy!
