Choose your F1 car.

Post

Ok the rules are you can only choose parts that have been raced in F1, like engine, suspension ,aerodynamics etc.

If you could pick something from every car (assuming it would work straight away) what would you choose? Don´t forget to choose the driver aswell.

1. Engine - BMW V10 2001
2. Aero - Red Bull RB6
3. Tires - Bridgestones 2009
4. Ground effects - Whatever Lotus had when they dominated Anderstorp a long time ago.
5. Suspension - Williams active suspension
6. Driver - Obviously Ayrton Senna. Backup driver, Montoya incase the race would get boring.
7. Livery - Ferrari obviously.

Some things are probably not the fastest but more preference from my part.
And yes i´m bored as hell at the moment.

If you have more ideas post them up so i can add to my superior car :P

I was bored too.

Engine - BMW P86 V8 (2008) - Should fit in the Tyrrell
Aero - Tyrrell 018 (1990) - Would have loved to have seen a better engine in this thing
Tires - 2005 Michelins - To go with the active dampers
Ground effects - Brawn BGP001 (2009)
Suspension - Renault R25 (2005)
Driver - Gilles Villeneuve
Livery - McLaren MP4-20 (2005) - Wouldn't have looked very good on the Tyrrell 018, but what the heck.

Ahhh but could you run 1300HP all race? And even if you could, my Benz would need less than half the fuel! :lol:
