Formula for Success

Where do i begin…… i mean look at her, the epitome of automobile awesome-ness!! standing 4 feet away from me with its “come hither” carbon fiber silhouette

This weekend my friends and i went to Bahrain F1 track for some R&R while we were sitting in the pit lanes enjoying the amazing weather and getting ready to go out to our next session, one of my friends came up to us saying he saw something interesting in the pit lanes at the beginning of the track as he drove in. So we decided to head over there and take a look…..What came next was probably one of the highlights of my year

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the Toyota F1 Team working on one of there cars. I have never met such a friendlier group of people. They were in Bahrain testing the new Pirelli Tires for next season Formula 1. The whole crew showed my friends and I there workshop and of course the 2009 F1 car which they are using for testing the new tires. To answer any questions no they are not coming back to F1 as we know it, but they were hired to test the new tires as “consultants” you can say. They educated us on the steering wheel controls and the suspension layout giving us as much knowledge about the dynamics of the F1 car.

I would like to personally thank the Toyota F1 team for being so gracious and giving us the opportunity to hang around there workshop.

Thanks Buddy!!! the car was “Mind Blasting!!!!” as Russel Peters put it, oozing with carbon fiber. The workshop was soo organized, and those guys never stopped working constantly testing the car suspension set up, which alone was amazing to see.
