F1: Red Bulls Mark Hails RB6 ‘limousine’
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010
After suffering a broken leg which had Red Bull’s Mark Webber very distressed last season, this year he is fully fit and thrilled about the the makings of the team’s latest car, Sky Sports has reported.
“This car is a limousine,” joked Webber ahead of the start of Formula One’s second official testing session in Jerez on Wednesday.
“We had only small aerodynamic changes so we didn’t go crazy.
“It shows how clever Adrian Newey is that a lot of people copied our car (last year).”
Coming second in the Constructors’ Championship last year, Red Bull are hoping to excel their performance in 2010 with the Adrian Newey-designed RB6.
Having a new “shark-fin” engine cover makes the RB6 more prominent while a ban on refuelling during races this year means all cars are longer than before to accommodate bigger fuel tanks.
Red Bull missed the first testing in Valencia last week as they wanted an extension to allow more time to work on it resulting in Red Bull being the final of the existing teams to take the covers off their 2010 car.
“Basically we felt there was more to be gained off the track,” said team principal Christian Horner.
“We set ourselves aggressive targets. We kept our heads down over the winter.
“We kept working on our concepts and Adrian has come up with a new, very good car.
The new car unveiled and debuted at Jerez on Wednesday morning is an “evolution” of its successful 2009 predecessor”I think there are four race-winning teams: McLaren, Ferrari, Michael Schumacher is running for Mercedes and us,” added Horner, who had considered switching to a Mercedes engine before sticking with Renault.
The Red Bull idol will test the RB6 in Jerez on Wednesday and Thursday prior to his team-mate Sebastian Vettel. Vettel, still just 22 but tipped by Bernie Ecclestone and others as the 2010 championship favourite, runner up to Jenson Button in last year’s Drivers’ Championship, takes over on Friday and Saturday

Major crackdown on Limo companies operating illegally
Tuesday, December 15th, 2009The UK limo-hire industry has gone through a major clean up in recent months and limousine operators everywhere are now working with the VOSA and local police to ensure that UK limo-hire is the safest it can be but many limo hire companies all over the UK, are complaining that the latest safety regulations and Limo Laws brought in this October by the government are affecting many limousine hire businesses after they have been experiencing delays in having their new licenses issued.
Under new Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) regulations, any limo carrying over 8 passengers must have a Certificate Of Initial Fitness (COIF) before it can operate legally on UK roads. Only a small number of companies in the country offer a COIF service for limos, making it harder for limousine hire firms to get their vehicles through the process quickly. Plus the price of having a vehicles issued with a COIF can cost up to £20,000.
VOSA have defended the delay in sending the new licenses out citing the small number of companies with the expertise in converting limos to COIF standards as the main hurdle. VOSA say that due to the backlog of vehicles awaiting the procedure, “those who have chosen to leave making their vehicles legal until now, have to wait.”
Remember to always choose a reputable company for your limo hire…..
