Time ago it was published that an eccentric millionaire had bought one of the firstly-released Ferrari F40 (a total of 1315 items at US$ 400,000 each were produced along 1987-1992)… to left it as a sculpture master piece laying in their Manhattan apartment.

Swords are high between FIA (Max Mosley) and FOTA (teams), with FOM (Bernie Ecclestone) as an interested witness.
 
Only two teams have conditionally signed to participate in next year F1 FIA championship. The remaining teams are talking to each other in order to organize their own segregated championship. A number of circuits (Monaco, Indianapolis, Silverstone, Mugello, Magny Cours) and pilots (inclusive of Massa and Alonso) have declared they will be in FOTA championship if it is eventually organized. Teams say they want to be out of the so called "British (Bernie Ecclestone but specially Max Mosley) dictatorship".
 
Recent news: Pilots have had a meeting this morning and the conclusion in Marc Gené (Ferrari 3rd. pilot) words was "we wish an agreement between FIA and FOTA, but if there is not such, we will look forward for the FOTA championship; we support teams in this crossroad." Next week may be the end of the culebrón.

24 Hours du Mans finished this year with a Peugeot instead of an Audi winner:
 
#9 Peugeot 908 Hdi / Marc Gené
 
Marc Gené (Spain) is currently 3rd. pilot of F1 Ferrari racing team. #9 two other pilots were D. Brabham (GB) and A Wurz (Austria).
 
Corvette Racing (USA; J. O'Connell (USA); J. Magnussen (DNK); A. García (SPA)) was first in LMGT1 class (15th altogether).

Everyone knows it as Le Mans here.

race to the bottom? by steve_ HOST

"Unfortunately, the FOTA representatives announced that they had no mandate to discuss the FIA's 2010 financial regulations. Indeed, they were not prepared to discuss regulation at all," today's statement read.
 
The FIA condemned FOTA's financial proposals, stating: "It became clear that these would not be capable of limiting the expenditure of a team which had the resources to outspend its competitors."

IMO, FIA-Ian Moxley is throwing the ball out of the field.

That is a great shot. Good for Peugeot, they deserved it. Like Audi, but they have worked very hard for this and did through quite a few cars at it. Great race by team Risi Ferrari as well.

Hopefully this doesn't lead to two mirrored series like CART and Indy. Would really ruin it. They better get their act together and come toe a compromise.
