  1. M-SPORT HAS UNVEILED A STUNNING LIVERY FOR ITS FIA WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP-CHALLENGING FORD FIESTAS WHICH IS INSPIRED BY FORMER CHAMPIONS COLIN MCRAE AND HANNU MIKKOLA. ADVERTISING Elfyn Evans and Ott Tänak will pilot Fiesta RS WRCs sporting a design that brings a modern look to famous colour schemes from over 25 years ago. The livery is influenced by Mikkola’s famous Eaton Yale Escort RS1800, in which he won Britain’s Lombard RAC Rally in 1979, and the Sierra RS Cosworth which McRae drove in 1989. M-Sport, which will retain support from Castrol and Michelin, will display the car at the Autosport International show in Birmingham this weekend. The livery will be seen in competition for the first time at Rallye Monte-Carlo (22 - 25 January). Team principal Malcolm Wilson said the design delivered a fresh and exciting look whilst celebrating Ford’s long-standing presence in WRC. “Throughout history Ford cars have produced some of the most striking colour schemes which became firm favourites around the globe,” he said. “It’s great to see some of these iconic liveries reflected in our 2015 car – a modern twist tailoring the design to our young and ambitious team.”
  2. The Korean Grand Prix has been dropped from the 2015 calendar, reducing the season to 20 races. The race was a surprise addition to the schedule last month but the FIA said on Tuesday that it had now been omitted from the final version of the calendar. A spokesman said Korea had been added at commercial rights holder Bernie Ecclestone's request and removed when it became clear it was not viable. The revised schedule has been published on the FIA's official website. The decision is not a surprise. It had been scheduled as the fifth race of the season on 3 May, just a week before the first European race in Spain, but sources had always insisted its inclusion was a ruse. It was added as a potential way to allow the engine manufacturers to continue to use five engines this season, rather than the four demanded in the 2015 rules. This plan was based on a rule that says each driver could have five engines in 2015 if the calendar had more than 20 races "as originally scheduled". Top-level sources said the move came after pressure from, particularly, Renault and its works team Red Bull. Renault struggled with reliability last year and is under pressure to improve its engine to try to catch up with the dominant unit from Mercedes. But rival teams pointed out that the calendar published in December - which featured Korea but labelled it unconfirmed - was not the original schedule as a previous version, without Korea, had already been published in September. And the pressure to allow drivers to use five engines over the season was reduced by the decision to allow limited in-season engine development, after Ferrari pointed out a loophole in the rules. 2015 Formula 1 World Championship calendar 15 March: Australia 26 July: Hungary 29 March: Malaysia 23 August: Belgium 12 April: China 6 September: Italy 19 April: Bahrain 20 September: Singapore 10 May: Spain 27 September: Japan 24 May: Monaco 11 October: Russia 7 June: Canada 25 October: United States 21 June: Austria 1 November: Mexico 5 July: Great Britain 15 November: Brazil 19 July: Germany 29 November: Abu Dhabi

    You must be rich I don't have Eurosport :D
  13. Hello mate welcome to S.O.C we have a guide here you can use to have a read through but anymore questions don't hesitate to ask :)
  14. I didn't think it was bad really you have to keep in mind police cars have to go through rigorous checks every three months like taxis. I was toying with a GB270 that was an ex police interceptor car. The paperwork for work done was immense. They had done loads of repairs before it was put up for sale. I guess they wouldn't want to sell a non legal car :D it had a full engine rebuild done 3000k before it was being sold.
  15. Yeah I thought so at that price and lot's more to do in the game, I really feel they went backwards with Unity. Worth playing if you can borrow it not worth a penny to buy it. The fighting has been changed makes it very difficult now to fight more than two people I found. They also jumped on the pay to buy gear band wagon which I have always hated. Maybe another reason why I found it hard to fight and do single player missions at times. it also seems to have got very repetitive when you fail putting you back at the start of mission even if you have just killed 30 guards then !Removed! up you assassin attack and died because the controls let you down :(
  16. Oh nice yeah not to far from me. Well the Meets at Rothwell not far from where Guy Martin lives so might even see him ride past now and again. I live near Louth but have loads from Grimsby and Immingham and surrounding areas that go so be nice to get some of you lot from scunny join :)
  17. Hello mate welcome to S.O.C Feel free to jump right on the threads mate friendly bunch on here unlike Some forums and Facebook pages I won't mention :D
  18. Lol good old predictive text. Yeah I meant conversion haha [emoji1] well take me another 4 days minimum to get the cash not allowed to use the deposit money. We was meant to be moving this month but one went before we got the viewing and the other is too small and more expensive for the house then I'm willing to pay. But I just wish I could rush it quicker to come through I just have a gut feeling it will sell :( that reminds me mot to do as well lol next week.
  19. It's on ebay completed it but still think its the worst one of them all. Ive bought black flag again but on xbox one that is the best one from all of them. I played it on pc the 1st time. But enjoyed it enough to get it and it's cheap now download code on ebay was less than a tenner.
  20. Hi mate welcome to S.O.C nice to see a fellow Lincolnshire member. As matt said where abouts are you. Bit too cold for the next moth but I do a meet welcome to join and meet other owners when the next one is on. Normally a week day evening as getting anywhere on a weekend was next to impossible [emoji19]
  21. Well I'm still a bug owner at the minute I'm hoping that chap doesn't sell the conversation before I get the money missus said I'm allowed it. Just a matter of time before someone beats me too it god dam them :(
  22. I do the same thing but no sport mode and I use the clutch, but all hell that breaks loose comes from the passenger side seat when the missus is sat in it :(
  23. Hi mate welcome to S.O.C have a guide here to read through if you have any other question feel free to ask great bunch on here :D http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/1619-help-check-guide-buying-1st-subaru/
