Flat bottom and audio controls? That will be a popular mod I think.

So I guess instead of being lax with Webber's pit stops, the Red Bull F1 team decided to break a record with one of his stops. Not like it mattered in the race, though...

To those running RPF1's, anybody know where I can get cheap plain black center caps? I'm almost tempted to make my own (using the lathe at work)
