Make a Pledge and Put Your Name on Honda’s F1 Car

Honda is making one huge statement in this year’s F1 season. Their 2007 Honda Racing F1 RA107 car will feature no sponsors whatsoever, but instead one big image of Earth, composed of pixellated names of persons that made a pledge on myearthdream.com.

The aim is to use Formula One’s huge global reach to highlight a huge global problem.

Nice. 🙂

Supercars on Water == Superboats

These are some very nicely designed and engineered boating vehicles 🙂

The Fearless Yachts‘ [ fearlessyachts.com ] 28 model, designed in collaboration with Porsche Design Studios (their first marine project). It goes 80mph (on water!) ~128kph. (Flash site, so you’ll have to click through to model 28.)

And then there is the even more impressive XSR48 of XSMG Marine [ xsmgworld.com ], which goes a cool 100mph ~160kph !!

F1 Realism in Games

Simulation of reality: test lap @ Spa Francorchamps, Belgium.

On the left, a real video record; on the right, GP4 video game. Mind you, this game dates back to 2002 ! So let’s just say that today, realism in games is pretty much… near… ‘reality’. 🙂
