I can just see the customs official having a second take.
I was quite curious about how common a name it actually is - first time I've ever heard it. I Googled 'How many K.affers are there in Germany?' and Google offended me.
 
Stunning win by Porsche/Bamber/Hartley from flipping second last and awesome job by the Aston team to put the Corvette under pressure. Johnny Adam raced like an ace.
As for Jackie Chan.... that was a performance of note! An LMP2 almost winning on debut. Incredible.

Williams have been tipped to ditch Mercedes as their engine suppliers and form a new partnership with Honda, according to reports.

Roger Benoit, Formula 1 correspondent for Swiss newspaper Blick, believes Williams could make the move which would see them become the new works team for Honda while also paving the way for McLaren to re-join Mercedes for the start of the 2018 season.

“Williams, who has been driving with Mercedes-Power since 2014, is planning to launch 2018 as a factory team for Honda,” Benoit wrote.

Williams used Honda engines from 1983 to 1987 and, during that time period, won 24 races with Nelson Piquet winning a third World Championship title.

Benoit also warned that Mercedes have to be wary of collaborating with McLaren again.

"The final question is whether the Silver Arrows actually want to revert to such a dangerous rival as McLaren," Benoit added.

"For Sauber, the outcome really does not matter, as they will remain Honda's number 2 team next year," he added.

McLaren have issued a final ultimatum to Honda following their failure to deliver a engine upgrade at the Canadian Grand Prix.

Not sure how true it is but often in F1, where there's smoke...
 
Can't imagine making that change, unless they're due similar compensation from Honda as McLaren is currently getting in which case it could be a good idea.

Can't imagine a Honda switch will be an easy sell to investors though.

$100m plus a year would sound good too if you're short on cash already.

This would be confirmation Mclaren is ditching them. Wouldn't it be ironic if Mclaren ditch them and next year they produce an amazing engine? :D
