The F1 Pit Box

Formula One. From the outside, looking in and ignoring the spin.

Drive an F1 Car!

By Team Principal on Tue August 21 2007

Thought it wasn't possible for us mere mortals to slip in the confining cockpit of a bona fide Formula One car?  Exelement, an online company specialising in extreme sports experiences, doesn't believe in impossibilities, and offers a package allowing you to take the wheel of a Tyrell F1 car with 550 bhp!  None of this chauffeur driven Minardi nonsense; this is you and you alone - as close to the real thing as we are ever likely to get.

  • Cursing KERS.:
    • Team Principal: True, but I'd rather be talking about which team was implementing it best than which team was actually using it!
    • Christine: The only excuse for not mandating KERS more strongly is to try and induce development... but that doesn't follow if the choice is to either have it or not. Still, the day F1 has clear rules, we'll have nothing left to talk about!
  • No Buyer for Honda = 18 Cars for 2009.:
    • Team Principal: I'd love for that to be the case too, but blimey, this is *really* last minute!
    • Christine: I wonder if they will save it until the very last minute to announce something. Keep us guessing. We live in hope, I guess.
    • Bruce McIntire: A friend of mine just emailed me one of your articles from a while back. I read that one a few more. Really enjoy your blog. Thanks
  • Kimi? Kimi Who?:
    • Boy George: Hamilton is the man right now, He doesn't have to worry about anybody but himself. Inf he stays focused and doesn't make any major mistakes he will take the title.
  • German F1 Grand Prix Race 2008:
    • Boy George: Cool post. It kinda makes me think about it.
