F1 at the Trafford Centre!

[andy_017]

Just got back from being at the bmw F1 show at the trafford centre!

I've never actually been next to a formula one car but when those things are running they're so loud and so so quick!

What an awesome piece of machinery :thumb:

Great, I saw it parked up inside on Thursday but they set up a track and stuff today didn't they? My mate just sent me a picture message cos he went down, let me try uploading it :)

Yeah it was all setup with a figure of 8 sort of track and they went up and down the straight doing a couple of donuts etc at either end!

There was also an F1 car on display and you could feel the weight of the discs and wheels and other parts in comparison to everyday car parts and they were unbelievably lightweight!

i went to the 1st test day at silverstone i was a guest of the force india team and got to go into there pits, i got to go into the force india factory as well to have a look round.

i know what you meen about how light the cars are i held one of the wheels and they are soo light :)

Force India were at the end of the pit lane so every car had to go past us and the cars were so loud lol the bmw did a massive burnout as he left the pits lol it was seriously loud lol

If it's the same car that was doing it at Silverstone F1 in 2007, then wasn't the F1 car doing dounuts...

Aye it doesnt seem to have the pull or whine of a normal F1 Car.
