 Formula 1 2008
Formula 1 races are the best known automobile theatre. Their main sense is to earn money on the show with fast cars in exotic environments, dramatic situations where often the life is given in chance, dapper divas who accompany the racers and organizers on their each step and to make a bare show of the gained wealth. Everything that has the F1 brand is properly expensive, from the souvenirs, through the tickets to the media rights, while also the organizing circuit must offer bags of money to convince the luxury circus just to come. The season 2008 goes again farther in the effort to make the races more dramatic by the prohibition of the technical active safety elements, which are today already standard even on the cheapest passenger cars, and to attract the spectators and sponsors on a wild play with roaring engines and flying pieces of the automobiles. But the main heros, the racers, must survive as in a movie and thus the passive safety of the cars improves significantly. The brief look into the shine of this world of automobile circus offers our series of short reportages from each event of the season.

 Geneva 2007 - the city
Geneva is the city of luxury and offers many sights and museums. But by far the fastests objects there are not the automobiles, but elementary particles which are rushing under the city inside various accelerators owned by the CERN research centre. They try to create not only small black holes, for example, there, but on one of their black NeXT computers also the base of todays web was created. On every corner there is a shop window full of luxury watches. Very interesting is also the history of the Geneva lake, whose water level is changing during time and discloses or hides the busy life on its side.

 Eco-business: "Environment" stickers in Germany to get to the centre
Ecology is becoming a lucrative business. We could even say, that it is going to be one of the most profitable businesses of this century, because much can be hidden behind it. German cities have now discovered a hit called stickers. Who wants to go into their centers must have a sticker stating, that his car is ecologic enough. But the hitch is, that nobody is interested in the car itself. The important thing is only to buy it, even by internet and fill up the pocket of a private company, that sells them. Is it a joke? Unfortunately no, it is the ecobusiness in practice.

 Peugeot Bipper - little lion into city as well as into country
Peugeot Bipper belongs to the mini van category, which should serve firstly there, where there is the lack of space and secondly also there, where a bigger car is simply useless. So it can weave through the dense city traffic and park easily as well as without fear ride the narrow country roads. But it is not fastidious, it is simply a utility vehicle built for more rough handling, however it can offer many elements of higher trim.
