The New Honda F1 Car..... Good or Bad???

Just wondered what people thought of the new Honda F1 car...... No sponsors just a giant image of the earth....... The image is made up of peoples names & pledges.

Personally i like it......

Me and the missus have donated a pound each to the My Earth Dream charity and we'll have our names on the monocoque..... You can pick what area of the car you want and then you get an e-mail from the Honda F1 team on the 12th March to show you where exactly your name is on the car....... Now it's not something you'll see on TV as each name is only a few mm's...... But it's a quirky claim to fame....... " I've had my name on a Honda formula 1 car"!!!


This is taken from the Honda F1 Team site.....

The Honda Racing F1 Team today unveiled a radical new approach to Formula One.

Launched at the Earth Gallery in London’s Natural History Museum, Honda’s 2007 challenger, the RA107, will feature no commercial logos at all, replacing them with a giant image of the Earth. It is an approach that is certain to rewrite the rule book in terms of sponsorship and communication, while drawing attention to one of the greatest challenges facing the world – climate change and environmental responsibility.

Honda has always been a pioneer – a forward-thinking company that has never shied away either from technical challenges or from its corporate responsibilities. And now Honda will showcase these two core philosophies in the 2007 FIA Formula One World Championship.

It's a pretty cool concept, little bit similar to what one of the Dutch teams have done at Le Mans for a few years. Whether it'll help them win anything this year I'm not so sure!

I've just pledged a pound to not do any ironing for a year :D

Drawing attention to climate change and environmental responsibility via an F1 car is surely a bit of a contradition !!
