So we've established that F1 is a lot more costly than Indycar racing.
Question is if Porsche had a F1 team, would you be interested & watching?

Not sure I would agree with his summary. Built some engines for TAG (successfully in 83/4 and a brief appearance in the sixties).
Wouldn't it be great to see a factory Porsche F1 team?

Lightbulb Porsche F1

Just watched the Australian GP. Will be interesting season with the new regs.
Ferrari, Mercedes, Maclaren, Lotus all present. So why not Porsche?
Will they ever get involved ?

Red face Perth OZ

Yes I live in Perth. Awesome but expensive is about right. If you're earning plenty then no worries. Porsches are at least twice as expensive as in the US for example. Good local Porsche club....

Smile Headlight Corners

Some advice please on changing the headlight corner infills. Is it necessary to pop out the headlights or do the corners easily come off without doing this?
Thanks in advance.

Tail lights

Hi Redmond,
I bought some tail lights from Suncoast parts in the US - red 550 style not LEDs. Shipping to WA was no probs, great service, but it adds to the cost a bit.
Cheers
