It is plain obvious that Bernie still has not noticed the promotional potential that the blogosphere, here represented by you eytl, can offer to F1, as opposed to the fashion world, where these days, the front rows of fashion shows consist of bloggers, not just of celebrities. Not having noticed th...

However, there is worse in the form of these slight disturbing rally(?) driving people: m I'm not sure if that is a man or woman with the long hair. I suspect they are related though. G'day Gary, welcome aboard. It's Neal Bates and Coral Taylor (who is a "she") - Neal Bates is multiple-ti...

I have to say, whilst Vettel raced like a total moron and completely deserved a duck egg for today's efforts, I don't think he should've been penalised. He lost control overtaking, it happens. If the FIA start penalising the like of that then they risk disuading drivers from even a slightly risqué ...

I've twitched the car around in my lane if I get a stone in my tyre or if something else feels odd. Now that you asked, I'll probably have a Murrayism next time.

Here's some more proof that it is the most tasteless production vehicle ever made - not even the Gulf livery can make the Hummer even remotely cool. http://media.nextautos.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/10/geiger-hummer-butterfly.jpg They ruined the livery for me! John Wyer is not amused. I know that ...

Recently started playing Gran Turismo 4 again - I have, to say the TVR Speed 12 is the best 250K I've ever spent in a game. Sure, it might not be the best car, but it's the most fun I've ever had with a proper sim game. Especially now that I've bunged a supercharger under the bonnet, boosting it's ...

2006 was looking bleak for fans of rejectdom. Minardi had been bought by Red Bull and was used as a B team for their driver development program. This was until Soopah Aguri came along with their 2002 Arrows chassis and the epic driver lineup of Takuma Sato and Yuji Ide, who was so rejectful he had ...

that other Canadian guy what's his name Daniel Morad? A team like Lotus or Sauber could do far worse than sign either or both young Canadians from GP3 in their development program.

There's no place for putting prayers over the loudspeaker anywhere PERIOD. Fix'd it for you. Not quite. There's a place for it. Public events aren't it. But then why would you need the loudspeaker?

How the

did Bueno survive that? Considering the massive shunts in this series, I have to ask - are these speed limited as the European Truck Racing Championship?

No relation at all. It seems that Nico Müller is from Thun, the same city as Simona de Silvestro.

Still coming from Venezuela he'll get plenty of Latin American backing, probable reject next year along with Perez. PDVSA, the same group that funded Ernesto Viso.

The fact is Americans simply like more aggressive (read as contact, crashes) racing than open wheel cars can provide. Touring cars have NEVER caught on in this country despite attempts (NATCC was a failed Supertouring series). USTCC was nothing more than a club series as well, I think that's gone u...

They also need far more cooling than a piston engine so the size of your sidepods would create an exorbitant amount of drag.

One interesting point which unless I've misssed something, hasn't been mentioned. What is likely to be the optimum engine size? Increased capacity is not necessarily the answer & after a while engine dimension (as against capacity) must come into it & some "natural" restriction on...

I'll jump into the silly silly season predictions. I'll try to keep some realistic and add some rejectful spice into it - in the places you may expect. The FIA, having determined that 30 cars on the GP3 grid was successful, allow 15 teams to enter Formula 1. However, 30 cars would rarely start on ra...

yes it was in germany, some of the used cars are still racing in the dutch supercar challenge (or whatever it's called) Yup, that's the one.

2000 Minardi (Fluorescent yellow) I actually really liked that one. I loved the look of the Telefonica Minardis, it was far better than the previous year's blue and grey M199 or any of Stoddy's cars.

That is a massive shunt.
