Formula 1: Summer Holiday Top Trumps – How does F1 compare?

DID YOU KNOW? - On 3rd April 2007, the one millionth MINI rolled out of the Oxford Plant after six years of production - just one month longer than it took the classic Mini to reach the same total in March 1965. The team of designers working on the MINI had finished the full-sized clay mock-up of the Mini in plenty of time for a presentation for the board of directors. Chief designer Frank Stephenson realized that the model did not have an exhaust pipe. His short-term solution was to pick up an empty beer can, punch a hole in it, strip off the paint and push it into the clay at the back of the car, which took just a few minutes. The overall design for the mock-up was so good that the board members told him not to change a thing, resulting in the distinctive exhaust tip seen in production cars.

Any shocks in there for you, there certainly were for me... Some VERY interesting figures indeed. Let’s have some fun and get some little mini leagues together just for fun and see where our beloved F1 car stands in the run of things. Again as I said in the disclaimer earlier... Please don’t get all defensive, THIS IS JUST FOR FUN... It means nothing people!
