Grand Prix Rejects

Wasn't. The French PM visited the curcuit today and apparently said that they were nearing a contract, but are still about 2 million $ apart. The French GP would be in Paul Ricard and would alternate with another venue (which one, they still don't know either),

These numbers are actually very good for a Pay TV channel if you compare them internationally...

Also somewhat off-topic: Can someone tell me, which (Australian) TV channel the V8 races from Melbourne are on? I have been searching the internet for the past hour, but somehow a just can't find an answer.

Hang on... I may be able to pick up ORF. I'll have to go looking for it. No adverts is, obviously, a bonus! Yes, it's on Astra. But no, this won't help you, because contrary to German channels, Austrian TV, apart from Servus, is encrypted. (sorry!) Nice. I suppose it's too much to ask for a German ...

I must confess I never imagned Argentina would be such a contentious issue... And for a sport that runs in Bahrain, China, Abu Dhabi, Spain (twice, probably), India, Hungary, and probably soon in Russia to worry that Argentina might be too risky seems a bit absurd. And that Argenina might pay millio...

Satellite signals can, in theory, be scrabled just like cable channels. However RTL is extremely unlikely to do that (with their SD service) because millions of Germans watch that channel via satellite - so if they chose to scramble their singnal they would lose a large part of their audience (and a...

Apart from Valencia, the fourth Western Hempisphere GP, which they should just axe.

That's the one that is called "Lippo Village" in my calendar. In any case: They should go there. According to wikipedia track construction cost $150 Mio. - and yet it has never seen an international race. (As far as I am aware). Edit: It seems to be in some state of disrepair now. Also, I ...

This is what the calendar should look like: 1) Buddh International 2) Istanbul 3) Bahrain 4) Dubai Autodrome 5) Yas Marina( twilight race ) 6) Losail( night race ) 7) Irungattukottai (in any condition) 8) Sepang 9) Sentul = Jakarta 10) Lippo Village 11) Baltimore(coupled into the IndyCar weekend) 1...

Pathetic ramblings from BBC Director General Mark Thompson. So...you're excuse is it's better than the whole thing going to subscription TV? That's absolute f***ing nonsense! Any deal that would have seen ALL F1 coverage disappear from free-to-air would have been vetoed by FOTA and Bernie knows it....

I know he's actually somewhat popular here, but Kazuki Nakajima came and went without leaving any kind of lasting impression on me at all.

I had the same problem, but it is (mostly) working again for me now. Although it is still *extremely* slow.

P_Friesacher

Watkins Glen, Road America, and Laguna Seca are all great tracks. There is just one problem; they weren't designed by Herman Tilke Much as I love these tracks (and I really do), there is another problem: All of them are far off from being suited for F1, especially where runoff is concerned, and wou...

The UN might be the best standard. Also: Who had recognized Sealand and Rockall (and some others, too.

i think the best option would be another championship with current 'non-officialy recognised states' That sounds great, too! I would like to pre-register Somaliland, Transnistria, Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, South Ossetia, South Sudan, Gaddafi's Libya (or the rebel's - whichever will then be recogni...

And, considering Yougoslavia is on the list, what about Czechoslovakia (driver: Vaclav Havel). And the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies (driver: King Francis II)?

Can I enter the Pricipality of Sealand (Driver: Roy Bates) and the Bavarian Soviet Republic (driver: well, no idea, really - King Ludwig III, even though he was in exile at the time he was there before and after the elusive Soviet Republic)? Also, perhaps Vichy France might be a contender (and in ve...

I nominate the crowd in Canada . This might seem surprising, so please let me explain. Nice as it was for them to stay when it started to rain so heavily - why did they have to boo Vettel on the podium? Cheering for Button - great, I did that, too. It was a well deserved victory, probably the best o...

Guys the only reason Superleague has gone to a half football club/half nations format is because there are no football clubs willing to step up and invest in what is an obscure, poorly broadcast and poorly covered series. There's just no money in it and I'd be surprised if it manages to last to eve...
