Who would actually name their team Furr R.E?

I was a Jordan fan, Midland was a bit of a mess but I stuck with them, I always looked to see where the Spykers finished -but Farce India? no thanks. Looks like it's Williams or Super Aguri for me next season. (or maybe even McLaren - didn't like them much before this year but Ron has massively gone up in my estimation this season)

Jordan - Midland - Spyker - Force India - ????

Anyone want to take any bets on what the name will be changed to in 18 months/2 years' time?

So you like supporting those in relation to where their garage is located then?

Off topic
I do know what you mean re estimation of Ron, he has kept a cool head and has stayed true.

JMSFI. Sorry, done the numbers, looked at the patterns, nothing is emerging. Guess we will just have to wait 2 years then

Name changes? In F1? I am waiting for the Jordan/Midland/Spyker/Force India to morph into "The Big Fluffy Bunny Rabbits" or the "Really Fast Race Car Guys" or "Team Lichtenstein" or something..."Armada Armenia?" How about....

Team 'Goodness Gracious Me'.


Somehow I don't think that F1 will do that well in India.F1 drivers will be looked upon as "Wusses" because their cars have unnecessary things like brakes and what looks like actual tread on their tyres!

I like "Boo-Boo Kitty Racing" or "Force 10 from Navarone" (wait, that was a movie) or perhaps "Team Dynamic Existentialism" to attract a more thoughtful, but individulaistic, fan base.

Well when you think about it, "Team Sartre" is kind of a contradiction in terms...

Agreed.But it does sound like a good team name.

What about "Team Hare Krishna" and still keep the orange paintwork.

Possibly will get away with that as long as they can get Durex sponsorship.

Uuhnnn... I think that "Force" will be very useful for Bernie to raise F1 popularity.

Any truth to the highly suspicious rumour (that I just made up) that the driver will be John Force once he recovers. He will be great on the starts but I am not sure about the 1st corner.

Well, then you could call the team "Force Force."

"Team Kama Sutra" could be sponsored by the folks that make birth control pills.

"Team Maybe Later Honey" could be sponsored by the manufacturer of Cialis.

"Team Right Now" could be sponsored by the Viagra people. Their theme song could be: "Me So Horny" by Prince.

Think about it: F1 has an aging demographic to cater to...

Indeed.

"Team oh no,it's got a hole in it!" could be sponsored by Mothercare,Pampers or Toys 'R' Us.

Will somebody please get us back on topic!!!!
