davester should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Some of the earlier comments regarding worldwide publicity are WELL OFF THE MARK if you are referring to mass media exposure.

These types of demonstrations are done globally all the time and at best will be picked up by enthusiasts tuning into their daily dose of motorsport via specialist motorsport web sites.

Tell me the last time prime time news showed an F1 demonstration in a foreign country?

Aussie Taxpayers are continually paying for politicians and councillors signing off our funds for a photo opportunity. Now we have Bathurst Residents paying for the privilege to promote the Vodafone brand...and people wonder why their rates keep going up when their suburb basically does not progress in any meaningful way.

F1's have been doing lots of testing lately...none of it makes the 30mins of news. Glad I don't have to pay for Vodafone to promote their brand in my back yard.
