Formula One Exhibit

Recommended Posts

Well sorry to the wellingtonians, but an out-of-towner is making the official photo thread! I see your meet thread, but this is different.

So went up to the North Isle for a long long weekend and bam, pictures of F1 cars.

Spent close to 2 hours reading everything and staring at design features. Took 100 pictures for future reference when I do ENME474: Aerodynamics in the 3rd Pro year of MechEng :D

No flashes were allowed, but I tried extra hard to get good shots at 1/10th or so of a second (A long time when hand holding)

Oh and you get a free go on the Simulator (only there on the weekends, Level 2)

I came 2nd out of everyone who has been on it since the exibit started, with only one go (was busy at the time), wish I could have had another turn :(

E: Had to adjust thread title it was driving my spelling nerve crazy ;)

I knew it looked wrong, never bothered throwing it in google and seeing if it was right though :D

Ahh yes, terrible isn't it Ollie, I found a bit of kitty litter at the high speed chicane on the back straight (Monza) and that cost enough tenths to make the lady who was running it round it off to a 1:42.. Next time I think I'll go with a lighter fuel load and no breakfast
