But the only reason there's a Grand Prix in Sochi at all is because they wanted something to use the Olympic Park for afterwards... so the hotels were only being put up for the games anyway, and the capacity needed for the Grand Prix will be nowhere near the Olympics.

Yeah it must've been all those natural fibres and crap... the guy was too used to the smell of cheap plastic that once he got into a really nice car he was out like a light...

In terms of cool... the Delorean paid off massively, but I think Doc Brown and Marty need to take a lot of the credit for that.

Great shout. Would also suggest the Fiat Twinair engines as well as Ford's 1.0 Ecoboost 3-cyl.

In the UK Tea-related emergencies already have such exceptions for ALL citizens...

Time to throw my Rolex, Tag Heuer and Breitlings away then... Swiss time-keeping, what a joke.

And yet it was still designated a CLK...

The car is an Oreca 03, a customer LMP that is available to anyone who can afford it.

Not really. Audi has a larger range of cars than Jag/LR, so I'd actually suggest that this is a proportional investment to Tata's.

I am aware that the setup a modern live-axle bearing car will have differs to it's predecessors, but that is not to say that the technology is fundamentally outdated. There is arguably only one advantageous property a live axle has: it performs very well in squat, meaning it is perfect for acceleration in straight…

Let me sum up your intentions. You are trying to get a reaction by accusing someone with a valid opinion about a piece of technology that is severely outdated in it's application on road cars. Jaguar has been running IRS in it's cars since 1961... 52 years.

For a bespoke drag racing car, use whatever solution is best for the task at hand.

I'm not trolling, just baffled as to why a piece of technology that is more than 50 years out of date is still being offered on a future production car.

You've got the title wrong.. it should say 'Rejoice, Luddites:...'

That's a good shout... it's not often that Audi are out looking for a new 'lead' driver, so Di Resta would be an absolute fool to not pick up the phone if Dr Ullrich is on the other end.

Will be strange to not see him charging round in the Audi at Silverstone next April... was really hoping for a big 'real-man' showdown between him and Mark Webber, but ah well...

Dude, Flux Capacitor right there...

Lancia did... it was designed specifically for it.

I'd say the 131, seeing as it was a square box that replaced the STRATOS!
