Default Spectacular Show by the BMW WilliamsF1 Team in Sydney.

Sydney (AUS). This Sunday morning the BMW WilliamsF1 Team gave Australia the first taste of Formula One action in 2005. With the season's opener in Melbourne just one week away Australia's best known landmark, the Sydney Harbour Bridge, developed into a Formula One track when Mark Webber drove over it at the wheel of the team's Formula One car. Spectators at the famous opera where listening to the BMW V10 cylinder's sound.

Wow, what a publicity stunt wish something like that would happen in the US I can't wait to see how the FW27 is going to do this year. Melbourne should set the pace for the first half of the season quite nicely.

Thanks for the pics theodor 8)

yeah, despite having a race held here, no one gives a flying fuck about F1 in this hemisphere they'd rather watch 42 cars drive in a circle for hours and hours on end. :roll:

Yeah like other thread, I didnt go as there was no good vantage point and noone was allowed on the bridge, which SUXED x10000000000 IMHO. (plus i slept in)

He was doing around 160-180km/h on the bridge atleast 80km'h faster then he was asked

edit: Thanx for the pics, I only got video
