Force India's Calender Gets High Coverage
By Alianora La Canta
January 14 2009
Force India launched a calender yesterday. Normally the launch of an F1 calender would be a completely uninteresting event, yet it seems to have attracted an awful lot of coverage, even if reviews have been mixed.
If Force India can garner this much interest out of something that is essentially twelve pages of pictures and a bunch of numbers, what will Force India do when its PR campaign reaches its peak?
Three sample pages from the calender can be seen here .
Also, Force Fans Online wishes Giancarlo Fisichella a happy birthday. He is 36 today.

Is this a fan calendar or a "girlie" calendar?
All I have seen is pics of the drivers in various macho poses, which frankly are of no interest to me (a male fan) at all.
What on earth does the team hope to achieve by doing this? Judging by Pitpass' reaction (not a site that I particularly like) it will for everyone to ridicule the team!

Hey Huw!
Why don't you like Pitpass? I know that sometimes they look as though they "own the truth" but at least they are probably the only website out there that is not afraid of expressing its own opinion... and I do like their sense of humor!
What's your prefered F1-dedicated website (apart from sf1o.com, that is!)?
Cheers,
SdL

Hey SdL - long time no write 
A long time ago Pitpass took a swipe at the demise of the Arorws team and the fact that the fans out there were asking for it to be saved. My then Sportnetwork site AllAboutArrows.com was one of the voices pleading for a resolution to be found. Pitpass poured scorn on the fans and me claiming that Arrows were a waste of time anyway so what was the point. I felt that thir comments were not in the spirit of the sport where the smaller teams are essential to bringing in and teaching new talent the ropes of the sport. Unfortunately I never forgave them for those comments, and have to admit that I don't like their humour - a bit too brash for me. Perhaps I'm getting too old
