Ferrari WIN Championship title in Malaysia

Advantages: fine racing car, good build, good performance, grip, handling
Disadvantages: not many, may not have as much straight line speed as Mclarens..yet

...01.01.2001 update This opinion was written immediately after Ferrari won the Championship in October 2000, and relates to the events and feelings that unfolded in Sepang during the winning moments. ---------------------------------------------------- Already a Triple World Champion after winning at Japan 2 weeks ago, Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello finished 1st and 3rd at Malaysia today. This ensured that Ferrari won the constructors Championship well ahead of Mclaren. The Mclaren’s got of too a good start but due to Mika’s stop/go penalty, Mika was not able to finish on the podium despite fighting his way through the field and came 4th. However, David Coulthard had an exciting race chasing race leader, Michael Schumacher during the last few laps of the race. After a close race, he was not able to...

Review of Ferrari

The fall and rise of Ferrari.

Advantages: Plenty of cash.
Disadvantages: None.

...Ferrari have the longest tradition in the sport of Formula One Motor Racing, being founded by Enzo Ferrari and having competed in every Grand Prix since 1950, when the official world championship started. Ferrari used to be a great team winning more titles than any other. Since the late 1970's though, they have struggled with reliability being their main problem. Nigel Mansell helped to turn things around in 1991, winning several races for them, and the title would have been won if it were a more reliable car. Now that Schumacher is on board, and Ferrari have finally overcome this reliability problem the title is there for the taking. Barrichello is a good number two driver for the team and Jean Todt has a good brain when it comes to race strategy. Having contested 655 Grands Prix they are the most succesful team in...

Well thought out racing game for DS - Ferrari Challenge

Advantages: Lots of gameplay, easy to just pick up and play
Disadvantages: Gets a bit repetitive eventually

...Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli is a racing game for the Nintendo DS. There are similar titles released for other consoles such as the Playstation 3, but this is a separately written game and has lots of good things about it. In terms of the game play, getting into the game is quite easy as the controls are easy to master. There is also a long and comprehensive tutorial section of the game so that you can get used to the car handling. Both text appears on the screen and there are audio clips to help you learn what the best racing line is and how to approach some of the corners. When playing you can get extra points for keeping the right driving line, taking corners effectively and also for smooth overtaking. To master the game takes longer, as you will have to become very experienced with each track and really have to race each track...

My middle name is Ferrari.....

Advantages: Looks good in red !!
Disadvantages: Wide

...cars in the U.K. A Ferrari car is an instant classic, and wearing the famous black and yellow prancing horse badge continues the legend. The past Ferrari?s are part of motoring folklore, and the current range comprises the 360 Spider, 360 Modena, the 456 GT GTA, 550 Barchetta and the one I am going to road test for you, the 550 Maranello. DESIGN. The car is Ferrari?s interpretation of the 12 cylinder Berlinetta, and has a front mounted engine with a sporting personality. It is created by the designers wind tunnel, and needed 4,800 hours of wind tunnel tests to achieve a minimal sensitivity to side winds and minimal drag, in technical terms a Cd=0.33. The car is also a step forward in the aerodynamic development of the car underbody, and imparts excellent stability, structure and driving safety, and achieves such brilliant results...

The root of all evil part two

Advantages: The journey continues
Disadvantages: Please read part one before this one

...For those of you that have been following my journey through nanowrimo we can resume where we left off. For anyone who has come to read for the first time you will have to read part one if you want to know what is happening. It has been a long journey. I hope those that have been with me all month have enjoyed it. I have made it to the 50000 mark so have completed the challenge. The next challenge will be to finish the story. So here we go, we left our intrepid band deep in the woods following the river, let us pick up where we left off. The root of all evil continued And the Maple called for war The days past, the days turned into weeks and the trees went on. They walked on in the perpetual gloom under the canopy of pine needles. The sky above remained heavy and dark, threatening snow and delivering on a regular basis...

Review of Nanowrimo Stories - part two

The Godfather: Part II review

Advantages: Engaging, immersive, great script
Disadvantages: May be too violent for some people

...The Godfather: Part II is the second installment in the Godfather saga, chronicling the life and times of the Corleone family. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola and co-written with Mario Puzo, this film won 6 academt awards, including best picture and best supporting actor for Robert De Niro. A noticeable difference with this film is that it presents two parallel storylines. One involves the now head of the Corleone family, Michael (Al Pacino), from 1958 to 1959 as he tries to expand the family's business by opening up a casino in Las Vegas, the other is a flashback showing his father, Vito "Don" Corleone from his childhood in Sicily to his founding of the Corleone crime family in New York. As with the first one, there is a lot of violence and murder, so it's not to everyone's taste. I know this film is held up as the exception to...

Hostel part two - Twice as bad!

Advantages: quite short!
Disadvantages: hmmm!

...must confess, however, that I had my reservations. The first film was unique, and self contained. What could they do to improve on it? It seems to be, that Eli Roth has a singular vision. A vision that, though once remarkable, has now become dull and boring. His inability to look around the box, has led him to have a much shorter career than he should. He should have taken more time creating hostel part two, or else not have bothered with a sequel at all. The plot, which is thinner than Homer Simpsons' hair, is basically the exact same one from the first film. The events of the film, are 'similar, but not as scary. The acting is perhaps slightly worse, and all he has done to try and make this a film in its own right, is give it an all female lead cast, and provided a Taratinoesque twist, at the end. This would have been a compliment...

Ferraris? Monks? I was sold just from the title!!!

Advantages: uplifting, interesting
Disadvantages: short,

...and memorable characters, interesting stories, comedy, tragedy and above all it offers inspiration and encouragement to consider life choices a little more deeply. As you read the book through, you feel transported on the same journey as our ferrari owning monk protagonist, and I found myself stopping after each chapter to consider what I might have learnt from its content. It certainly put a smile on my face and a skip in my step, would reccomed to anybody! :)...

Ferrari F40 - a living Legend

Advantages: Speed, Speed, Speed, sexy, sexy, sexy
Disadvantages: High running costs and purchase price

...I have a great passion for these Cars and especially the Ferrari F40, as well as the man who made and engineered them Enzo Ferrrari. In 1994 I was delivering post in my van to Readmans and I heard an Engine purring and turned round, and to my amazement there was an F-Reg Ferrari F40 sitting there with it's Engine running. It looked superb so I got out of my van and walked over to it. The guy who owned it was the owner of the Firm and he let me sit in it. Even just to see one of these was a dream come true never mind sitting in one. First produced in 1987. The Engine was a 32 valve 3.0 litre (2936cc)which was longitudinal mid-mounted V8. The Cylinder block was made of light alloy as was the Cyclinder head. They are 4 valves per Cylinder and twin overhead Camshaft per Cylinder bank. To make this Car as powerfull as it is they...
