        FIA Announces 'One Shot Racing'

        No sooner is the 2005 F1 season over than the FIA has announced radical new plans to change the format of next season's racing with a new 'one shot race' format. Sources at FIA headquarters in Paris say the governing body was highly concerned by the amount of 'excitement' that this year's championship may inadvertently have generated and hopes that its new proposal will prevent a repeat of such action in future. 'One shot racing' has been inspired by the relentless fiddling with qualifying which has made it pointlessly complicated and dull, and FIA bosses hope their new scheme for race day itself will have a similar effect. Under the proposed new system, instead of assembling the entire field on the grid at the start of a Grand Prix and allowing them to 'race' for an hour and half, each driver will go out and complete the race on their own one after another, starting with the lowest placed championship driver and working up the table to the ones that will probably always win anyway. "This will solve a number of problems," said one FIA official. "First of all, it will give all teams equal TV time and sponsorship coverage. Secondly, it will remove any possibility of that annoying 'overtaking' that occasionally happened this year. And finally, it will almost certainly prevent Takuma Sato from twatting into anyone except himself".
        Spies say the new and dismally confusing plan has been made possible thanks to a prototype 'split wing' system installed at FIA HQ known as the 'centreline hogwash generator'.

                    Odd choice of a team considering his repuation. You would think that Ferrari or Renault might come knocking, or maybe a return to Williams. Then again, RB are the former Jaguar team and he signed with them a couple of years ago only to pull out in the end.

                      Australian Rally update:

                      Loeb crashes out, leaving Solberg in lead and McRae in second. A good performance by Colin, but it makes me wonder - is he really that quick (having not competed at this level for two years) or are today's new drivers really very poor?

                        McRae back up to second after Solberg crashes out...

                        Belgium's Francois Duval leads the Rally of Australia after Petter Solberg retired on day two following a collision with a kangaroo.

                          First real test of the 2.4 V8 compared to 2005's F1 cars, sure that gap will close before the season starts.

                            Not so much happening in the motorsport world at the mo but heres the new Midland F1 (MF1 (makes me think MFI)) car and colour scheme:

                              The lack of title sponsor probably means they have to whore themselves to anyone they can find. It's a mess but what choice do they have.

                                Skoda have pulled out of 2006 WRC Championship, just supporting two privateer entries, bit of a kick in the balls for McRae's hope of a drive for next year
