Let's have none of this on the board thank you.

Have you been asleep whilst on these boards for the past 2 years?

I'm just trying to stop discussions becoming personal :S

A. My daughter's god mother is from the US so let's have just a little less of the "You don't like the US anyway" cack.

So your distant association means I or other Americans should overlook your cack?

C. I am unable to find out what "cogniscent" means, perhaps you have misspelt it? Along with quite a lot more. The 's in particular stand out.

Perhap's I'm not the only one to misspell something but not what you accuse me of ?

D: As far as I'm aware America is a continent & is spelt with a capital "A". The US is not America, it is American. Do try & learn this otherwise you'll will just upset lots of Brazilians, Canadians, Bolivians etc.

Thanks!

E Please do me a favour & get your head out of your arse. Thank you.

I will extract my cranium but not before you do !

As far as all the other replies concerning meanial bout's do not fret as it is only part of discussing a topic we are passionate about and nothing more. If a member wants to stoop to a spelling error such as Gert has let them as they usually are the worst offenders.

Too late.

All I can say is - if this is the quality of the teams we are expectedto pay our hard earnt to watch I'd rather not bother thanks.

& I definately don't want to bother if the rules get bent to allow half-arsed projects like this to actually start winning.

Well then, you've always got Rally Raids, Ice racing and professional Handball to watch haven't you? Enjoy!

Oh, by the way "earnt" doesn't seem to show up in the dictionary. Perhaps you meant earned?

I think you find that the verb earn is both regular & irregular, it depends on where you come from.

Back to the plot - USF1 can't even find itself a name without annoying Bernie. What chance do they have now of presenting themselves as professionals?

More than they had this time last week or less?

Note, my new NASCAR team with be called the Not American Saloon Car Auto Race Team - how long do we think NASCART is going to last before various lawyers get to it?

The cack you are overlooking is your own. Which is a neat trick considering where you head is. My congratulations.

I'll bet you learnt that in the public schools, eh? Just kidding, you're right, back on topic.

C'mon now, its only recently that the little low-budget teams have become extinct in F1. I always liked the days when there were lots of little teams like Coloni, Larousse, and Minardi. It was great to see what these guys could do with so little

[Gert]

Let me just say that I am more impressed with lots of points for not masy dollars than I am with the kind of team that blows millions to get nothing.

Thus the plucky little team that scores the odd point has always held more of my respect than the conglomorate that pulls off the same trick but for 10 times the money.

That said, the point is that the plucky little team is sufficiently well organised to get some points - I have little or no use for the legions of half-arsed non-entity teams that regularly failed to get through pre-qualifying at 1 point.

It's no good complaining that no new teams ever enter F1, recently we've had Tyrrell, BAR, Honda (not to mention Brawn Racing) + Stewart, Jaguar, Red Bull & Jordan, Midland, Spyker, Force India + Minardi, Torro Rosso. Oh & Toyota have joined too. We can mention Toleman, Benetton, Renault as well.

& it's no good arguing that buying a bad team = more of the same 'cos you can't change anything - look at what Torro Rosso achieved last year.

Or at what happened after Ron Dennis binned the Rondel plan, waited 7 odd years & bought what was a struggling McLaren.

There are still many ways that the key people in the lower formulae can get into F1, look at Christian Horner for example.

Make the cost of entry too cheap & it's no longer the peak of the sport.

Or, to put it another way, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen - this also includes, if you don't have heat proof clothing, don't go in there in the 1st place.

As for the public school thing, yes thanks.

Hahaha, you could have used "Do I sh*t in the woods?"
Couldnt you?

USF1, the new American team for 2010, has been asked by Bernie Ecclestone and Formula One Management (FOM) to change its name.

The North Carolina-based outfit will forthwith be known as 'USGPE' (US Grand Prix Engineering), after FOM - believing it owns the series' name and derivatives - objected to the use of the abbreviation 'F1' in the title.

Existing competitors including Renault, Force India and Toyota all use 'F1' in their respective names, but it is believed FOM accepts these descriptors because they precede the word 'Team'.

The only exception is Williams, whose official trading name is 'WilliamsF1'.

Also at the request of FOM, Force India has changed its official logo for the 2009 season. Previously, the team's 'FI' (including the letter I) logo resembled 'F1' (including the number 1).

This year, the logo features a dot above the I, differentiating it from the official title of the series.

In 2007, it emerged that Formula One Licensing failed to gain exclusive control of the descriptor 'F1'; the UK Trademark Registry ruling that the abbreviation is a generic term and therefore "not registrable as a trademark".

What a load of pedantic bollocks!

[irons_4_ever]

i wonder how long it took them to come up with that name
