OT - BAR/Honda 007 Pics F1
BAR/Honda launched their 2005 F1 car today...looks pretty bad ***!
Geoffrey Willis, Technical Director
“I am delighted with the new B.A.R Honda 007. It is a logical next step for the team, being both a refinement of last year’s car concept as well as having a number of significant new developments. With the stability of the technical team and the increasingly close relationship with Honda, we have been able to build a much better integrated installation of engine, chassis and transmission. In addition, following a very successful first year with Michelin, we have been able to design the 007 specifically around their tyre characteristics as well as being able to drive the development programme for the demands of the new regulations.
“The most challenging elements of the new Technical Regulations are in the areas of aerodynamics and engine. In both cases we have undertaken an extremely intensive development programme and extensive testing with the ’05 Concept car. At the same time, the underlying objective was to produce a car that can close the gap to Ferrari and deliver B.A.R Honda its first race win. We are encouraged by what we have seen of our performance step so far but, as is always the case, we look forward to our real measure of success - the Australian Grand Prix in seven weeks’ time.”
Jenson Button
“I am very much looking forward to the start of the season and getting back to racing. 2005 will be a very important year for B.A.R Honda as a team, to prove that 2004 wasn’t just a one-off. We need to show that we are a consistent top team and again can challenge McLaren and Ferrari for podiums.
“Winter testing has been very encouraging and I have done more mileage in this testing period than ever before. The car has shown good reliability, as has the engine, which is very important considering the new engine regulations whereby one engine must last for two races. Michelin is also doing a great job. We have been working very closely with them and the progress we have made with the tyres will make a big difference when we kick off the season in Melbourne. I am hoping, as are the team, that our first win is just around the corner.”
Takuma Sato
"2005 looks like it will be a very exciting season. The regulation changes will make it very interesting and a big challenge for all the teams, not only from a technical point of view, but also because of the rule changes. B.A.R Honda had such a great season last year and are very fortunate to be carrying that momentum through to this season and I think that this will definitely help in our challenge for the 2005 Championship. I am going into my second season here with more experience, confidence and team stability. Obviously I want to push myself even harder to try and improve on my podium finish last year and my ultimate goal must be to challenge for more podiums and eventually to achieve my first win. This is a great feeling to have going into the new season and I am really looking forward to it!”
Hmm...do I smell a win coming soon?
Heres to sucessful F1 season for Honda. Oh, and also SIGN UP FOR THE EXPO!

If they don't blow them up.
Me = wondering how the proposed "detuning" for this season will effect the outcomes.

um...no they weren't rumors. He really did try to leave BAR for Williams, but BAR of course blocked his move and the whole thing was settled a few months ago. (Not as easy as i made it sound, but i don't want to get too detailed.)
The car though looks amazing! I love the new front end.

Gorgeous car from Honda and BAR - lets hope the engine is gorgeous as well... 
I'm looking for BAR Honda to knock Ferrari off its perch atop the F1 world this year...

In the promotional pics of the car, the livery does not carry the Lucky Strike/555 brand. They've always replaced the signage with quirky little phrases on the BAR's when tobacco ads are not allowed at X venue, like "Look Left/Right", "Don't Walk". In the testing photos, they are carrying the Lucky Strike livery.

i think the main problem this season with Ferrari is going to be them not 'agreeing' with the other 9 teams (who signed an agreement) to limit testing to x days.
If the test as they always do and disregard the other 9 teams, they might destroy everyone, looking very bad in the process, and also making F1 look pretty bad/boring/pointless.
Chris - who hopes they see beyond their own nose and do what is right for the sport, not themselves.

Similar to Jordan when they don't have benson & hedges livery - they always have something odd like bitten heros, be on edge, buzzin hornets.....
