sfo:no auto dimming rear view mirror .. that little latch is so last century and completely out of place in such a high tech car
Does the LaF have auto dimming rear view mirror? I know on the P1, it doesn't have one either, which for the life of me, I can't understand why...

unotaz:I'm sure Mark had a nice discount on his 918, but still, it's always awesome to see a race car driver backs up the corporate talk with his own money on the line
Not sure if he had a discount, but he probably paid the tax-free price (which, btw, considering the tax rates in Australia would make it one hell of a deal).

Grant:sfo:doesn't Mark W live in England?
Many of those F1 guys maintain a residence in Monaco which has very favorable taxes.
They move between Monaco and Switzerland . F1 drivers living currently in Switzerland , or in the past years are :
Prost, Schumacher, Villeneuve, Alonso, Hakkinen, Raikkonen, Hamilton, Vettel, Massa, Heidfeld, etc... and Ecclestone!

Oh and no, I haven't neglected my 918 even with the RS. But it had been on modelling duties lately. First it was atomic80 and now a sneak peek of a shoot from another photographer friend:

Mark already owned a GT2RS and GT3 4.0 before he became a Porsche team driver. He genuinely love Porsches and I've seen him ready Porsche magazines going way back.
And yes, Webber lives in England and back here in Australia during the off season.
