Hind sight is wonderful.
But what should we really be laughing at?
Maybe Oscars naivety to believe that he could have attempted that and gone unnoticed?
or.......
Maybe Oscars attempt to have the public believe that an enterprise such as "Science Friction", not even ISO 9001 accredited, let alone AS9100, had been engaged by none less than NASA to develop IP. (It doesnt happen like that).

There are a few people around that Call themselves Motorsport journalists... they need to ask questions of Mr Wills Sr, Mr Wills Jr, Mr Fiorinotto and others...

Depends what you want to find out..

Hard to believe this was 14 years ago, and it happened after I became an active member of the forum!

What was the whole point of the tests would be a start. They were looking for something, what was it?

Special paint, apparently.

Was the Woomera runway longer than Conrod straight?

[ForumNick]

I don't know how long it is... but


... I'm sure its not a posted 60kmh zone !!

[Forda]

Say if it was indeed longer, then who could blame them for having a thrash?

Nah - that was debunked at the time - attempted smokescreen from Mr Wills Snr.

Woomera is 2.3Km long or something like that - more than Conrod.

I've just read back through this whole thread just for the hell of it. Quite a fun read after the passage of time. Certainly one of the biggest scandals (if not the biggest) in the game. From memory the penalties were increased by the appeal panel and whilst some legal threats were made, nothing further came from that.

Quite interesting to see the names of posters from back then who are no longer part of discussions here (well, not under the same poster names anyway). Bit of a shame that but then it HAS been 14 years!

Simons a great bloke, but to claim 14 years on he doesn't know what the team were up too? Sorry, but I'm not buying that for second.

2.5 usable for a car, bit less for an aeroplane

And interestingly the new Subaru WRX has a bunch of black plastic addons on the wheel arches and front splitter/rear diffuser... with a hexagonal shape indented into the surface.. to do the very thing Team Dynamik were reported to be testing... increasing cut thru the air...
