I'm keen to be involved in any capacity so more than happy to make the jump over to the WTCC. Awesome! Thank you very much! I'm working on the details at the moment, and I should be ready next week. I'll post an announcement here when I'm done. I hope that at least four of you will make the transit...

Important News Okay, here's is the situation: The hard disk of my laptop gave up on me a few days ago. I'm writing this on one I've borrowed from my brother, who, computer genius that he is, tried to recover as many files as he possibly could, but so far the majority seems to be lost forever. That ...

https://preview.ibb.co/dz3q8p/Round-06.jpg Qualifying The motoring press still longed for a title contender other than Rahel Frey, who had driven in her very own league up to this point, it seemed. Many fans feared that the Swiss Audi driver would cruise to the title unopposed – a not too unrealist...

https://s1.imagebanana.com/file/181011/CITkF6T0.jpg Qualifying The halfway point of the season was just around the corner, and there was no clear title contender yet.

DTM had that back in the day when I watched regularly (2011 to 2013), and they always argued about millimetres on certain tracks like Hockenheim. It was quite tedious. Why not install a chip that shuts off the engine when a driver goes too wide? That's just like being stuck in a sandtrap without th...

I believe Sir Frank Williams put it best: "The greatest driver of all time is probably riding a bicycle somewhere in China. Unfortunately, we don't know who he is, and he has no idea that Formula 1 even exists." I can easily believe this. Its unreal the hidden talents people have, that of...

TOTB Cartoon Openings I've already made one for anime, so why not for western cartoons as well? Ha! What was I thinking? Do you have any idea how many western cartoon intros just consist of some guy talking for a minute, explaining the plot and premise of the show you're about to watch? Anyway, her...

Oooh yes - sandtraps ! I remember them ( I also remember catchfencing, which was both effective and scary) . I sometimes think they should put something ( like a thin layer of sand?) on the 2 metres of run off right next to the track , that attaches to the tyres , reduces the grip and takes a lap o...

I know that the Tilkedromes got preferential treatment under the Bernie era, and while the facilities were top class, the racing was a bit iffy. (...) On the subject of track design, should renowned racing drivers do the track layout, then have someone like Tilke design the features around that? Af...

By the way, this proposal for the Vietnam circuit where it has both a section of existing roads and a newly-built section sounds interesting to me! Not to me.

Hopefully not unpopular here, but probably elsewhere since I'm seeing a growing number of people talking about some animals in regatds to Hamilton.
