I saw an advert for Mitsubishi the other day in which they were going on about how they keep winning the world rally championships. It just made me wonder whether anyone really cares. When you buy a car do you think of who is winning in F1 or whatever before choosing which model to buy? Obviously some people do otherwise these manufacturers wouldn't put so much money into it.

If it weren't for racing I wouldn't know how beautifull those Marcos cars are.
It's nice to have a car with "history", but I don't think anyone lets that be decisive. |

Why else do you buy a Ferrari? Image? Looks? Kudos? Racing history? They all count....

Talking of which, Tristan, surely Frank Williams couldn't have been too happy with the boy Button's latest purchase! Rather than a Ferrari, shouldn't he have been 'persuaded' to buy either a Z1, Z3, or even a Mini Cooper...?! Heck, Anything the Bavarians had a hand in...
Buying Maranello's finest is a bit rich! (pun intended) |
