I don't get excited by sports cars, supercars, souped-up cars or any other form of blinged-up petrol-head nirvana. It's a shame really. When I lived in Dubai it was posh car heaven.
My next-door-but-one neighbours were two Saudi boys. It might only have been a two-bedroom, semi-detached villa they lived in, but outside under the car port was a Lamborghini and a hideously expensive Mercedes.
There were only two things of interest in the Lambo - the throaty roar of the engine could wake up the whole street, but this supercar could barely get over the speed bumps outside its front door.
The cars were everywhere. It seemed that if you had a bit of cash - or a large loan - you had to have a Porsche or Ferrari or American muscle car. Even the 4x4 of choice was the Porsche Cayenne. While I will never get too excited about expensive sports cars, I am excited about the prospect of Porsche entering Formula One.
Autocar has reported that stablemates Audi and Porsche are looking to make a splash in both sports cars and Formula One. Audi has been competing in the Le Mans class for more than 10 years and is working on a new car for next year. That would suggest Porsche will be the company looking towards Formula One.
It's a mouth-watering prospect. Whether you fancy a Porsche on your doorstep or not, it would be great to have them in the paddock. The German company has a fine reputation for technical brilliance and that would sit perfectly at the pinnacle of motorsport.
However, if you are already salivating at the thought of Porsche lining up on the grid next to the Prancing Horse of Ferrari, you may be disappointed. Indications are that Porsche is thinking of getting involved as an engine supplier. Although that might be great news for some of the smaller teams that need customer engines, it would be a great shame if the cache of such a great brand didn't have its name over one of the pit garages.
