Was it just me or did anyone else think they should've put the F1 on last? The GT cars and FXX just seemed so much slower in comparison!

you should see the support races on a grand prix weekend! Even the Ferrari challenge looks dull next to f1. Used to go to Montreal GP every year when i lived there.....awesome!

Yeah but I meant that it took away the perception of speed from them. The Enzo being out with the GT cars made it look really dull when in fact it's one of the fastest road (ok, so it was the FXX and not road legal) cars around.

Yah, taking the michael.
Totally agree - from a staging point of view, always leave the money shot for last.....

I thought it sounded awesome - NASCAR as it went past up the hill but the sound hit you after it past you..
If it's the blower version then mayber that was quelling the noise as I know the original CC8 sounded awesome...all the time.
Preparing for take-off.. systems check..
