Gunnarsdottir will indeed return to her seat.
As an upgrade I would like to decrease front wing drag.

Happy birthday AdrianSutil Although just 20, I already seem to be rather old here. My exact birthday is the day after Emerson Fittipaldi made himself a lot less popular in Indianapolis by drinking orange juice in Victory Circle. Also on the exact day I was born Feyenoord secured the Dutch Eredivisie...

Nice to see both cars making the field, that hasn't happened before this year in a race with prequalifying. What on earth was Braggia doing? He could never have overtaken Bell there. Given where he was running at the time Bell could have finished in the points.

Race results up. Budgets Chatlog Standings Video Anna Gunnarsdottir and Sam Sun have both been injured for five races due to injuries sustained in a collision. As Maea Blog is now fit to race he's likely going to replace Sun, but Ursus needs to nominate a replacement to Gunnarsdottir. May I suggest...

Jakob Berason, team owner of Ursus Racing wrote:We, Ursus Racing, are shocked and deeply saddened by the accident of Fidrik Arnason. We pray that he survives.

In the end Arnason does survive and due to quick medical intervention there is no permanent damage to his brain. A classified will be put out for a replacement.

Given this comes from Ferrari, who are alleged to have by far the weakest engine, I find it a little suspect. On another note, not only F1 but also the World Endurance Championship are moving to fuel flow limitations. The problem however is that the FIA can't provide enough of these limiters, meanin...

It's very rare for me to have F1 dreams, but somehow I had two last night. The first was an item on the Dutch tv news bulletin about Hamilton and Alonso hating each other with Alonso wearing a Mercedes jacket over his Ferrari clothes just to annoy Hamilton. Alonso succeeded with Hamilton running off...

I'll take Parma then, if that isn't a problem

The first time an Ursus Racing car finishes and it's in sixth! There will be no quote from Arnason as his comments were, caused by the bottle of Ursus Vodka he drank to celebrate, unsuited for the youngsters on this forum. Anyway, upgrades: 1 x race performance for both drivers.

Why did Larrousse have to pre-qualify in 1992? When I checked on Wikipedia, they finished 11th in the constructors championship, and it's only the teams out of the top 13 that had to pre-qualify. With the change of ownership to Venturi, they were considered a new team. As a consequence of that they...

Eddie Jordan has apparently said that Hulkenberg is on his way back to Force India, and Massa is heading to Lotus. For once, I hope he's wrong. Or at least he got the names mixed up. During the build up for qualifying Eddie Jordan said Massa would go to Force India, given his supposed Petrobras spo...

Was Guy Luzon seriously thinking that putting a b-team every now and then will keep going well forever?

There are enough CRXs around, but you fail to find any standard Charade GTti's that haven't already been ripped apart for spares. What you do find however is a former Group A Charade World Rally Car!
