The Toyota F1 team was in Helsinki today, went there with a friend, he had the camera on stand by and I had teh magazine hoping for a good shot but fuck me, it was not ment to be... So many people there that we didnt get even close to seeing the cars or the team people in order to get a nice backround for the pic.

So the competition is done now? Just when I'll be away for the weekend, so I won't be here to see the results until Sunday at least>_< Too bad it ended up with only 4 contestants...
