Thanks RedBaron. I'm game for next year then if there's anything going on.
Bailey, I've been wanting to join as a member since the Ampang TT, organised by BlackCat. I had the form and money ready. I then had a thought to hold on for a bit and get to know the members first. After meeting some of you fine gentlemen, I now confirm to sign up but I had to go away for a bit. I'll be back in KL on the 12th, so see you at the Aman Suria TT on Friday the 14th and I'll sign up then.
What about forming an F1 TT? Sunday Race Day

Got this from the F1 site
Heidfeld: BMW Sauber have taken 'a huge leap'
Nick Heidfeld has hailed BMW Sauber’s progress after their strong performance in Sunday’s Malaysian Grand Prix. While team mate Robert Kubica brought his F1.08 home second, the Pole’s best-ever F1 result, Heidfeld scored his and the team’s maiden fastest lap on his way to sixth place.
Based on BMW Sauber’s modest showings in pre-season testing, few had expected them to be able to challenge the two top teams, and given their tally of 19 points from the first two races - nine more than in the opening two rounds of 2007 - even Heidfeld admitted he was surprised at their improvement.
"I didn't expect that we would be able to match the pace of the McLarens in Malaysia, and even be slightly faster than them in the closing stages of the race,” Heidfeld told BMW Sauber’s official website. “Compared to the off-season tests, we have made a huge leap."
Starting fifth on the grid, Heidfeld’s race was compromised early on by a first-corner tussle with Toyota’s Jarno Trulli. However, the German fought back, pulling off arguably the best passing move of the afternoon, and then clocking the fastest lap on his penultimate tour of Sepang.
"Overtaking Alonso and Coulthard at the same time, in the opening stages of the race, was really big fun," the 30-year old admitted. "For me, this was the crucial move on the way to securing the best possible result after having lost several positions due to the close encounter with Trulli."
Team principal Mario Theissen was understandably delighted with the result. Furthermore, he is convinced there is plenty more to come from the F1.08 - enough, in fact, for the German-Swiss team to achieve their declared aim of a 2008 victory.
“We have not yet tapped our car's full potential,” said Theissen. “Therefore, I'm confident that we will be able to achieve the goal we've set ourselves for the 2008 season: to close the gap to the top teams and to secure our maiden Grand Prix win. Everybody is working hard to help us realise this goal, at the racetrack, during testing, as well as in Munich and Hinwil.”
Heidfeld and Kubica lie third and fifth respectively in the driver standings, while BMW Sauber are second to McLaren in the constructors’ table.

Ferrari sked of BMW
Ferrari is watching BMW Sauber very closely
Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen cliamed victory at the conclusion of the Malaysian Grand Prix on Sunday, a result which contrasted greatly with Felipe Massa's spin and retirement from the race.
Team Principal Stefano Domenicali emphasised that in spite of the drivers having different fortunes, their on-track behaviour was not in question.
"It's a fact that we have two very good drivers, they know the rules, they respect the rules and they can fight on the track, very freely, without doing any damage, both for them and for the team," he said.
Domenicali also recognised that the challenge coming from BMW Sauber has added a new dimension to the championship: "We have seen that BMW also had a great weekend. They will be in the middle of the field for sure in order to take points from us and from McLaren, so we need to have a lot of respect for them. "
There is no doubt in his mind that such a prospect will complicate matters this season for the red team.
"The championship will be harder because they will be taking points from us," Domenicali stated.
"As we said at the beginning of the season, the championship this year is very very long and the fact that we will have one more competitor that shows that they are good, for sure is an added element to take into consideration," concluded the Ferrari chief.

This is a great initiative! I wish I could join but F1 live-viewing is a family affair for me with my dad supporting McLaren, my sis supporting Ferrari (esp now with Raikonnen) and myself, BMW Sauber! I hope to join you guys when not watching with family.

Thank you Mr.Secretary! Hope to get some support from the other members and committees as well. Watching it in a big group with rival team supporters would be fun with all the bantering and such.
What a great F1 family, I must say. Different teams and drivers. Hope you'll join us sometime.
Regards,
Bix
