Actually, I applaud the sheer rejectfulness of it
...and would love to know the genius behind the design of this track.

Hermann Tilke?

I assume so, the track is Oschersleben, which is a decent circuit.

That actually sort of happened with Ayrton Senna at the 1984 Detroit GP.

Great find!!!

That's superb! Loved the little shots of the car in the garage as well! Very very rare stuff that is so hopefully FOM doesn't take it down!

Nice one, man. Had a good chuckle when the interviewer mentioned Rosset had 'a lot of talent'. Wonder if he was still saying the same after Spa the following year?

Unbelievable. I do believe that under the skin of the Toro Rosso was probably the Renault R26

A lot of people complained that the "equivalency formula" between the V8 and the restricted V10 in the Toro Rosso was wrong after watching this.

The vibrations from the road surface looked horrendous! But if they could resurface all that, having a NASCAR Sprint Cup triple header in Europe would be epic (without all those artificial chicanes and hairpins of course!).

Can someone please resurface the oval on the basis that it'ld be fantastic? And while they're at it someone bring IndyCars there too.

The last I read, the Monza oval is banked at 30 Degrees, so even if you did repave it (which I really want to see done), you won't be seeing any open-wheel races there any time soon.

Well, Nick pronounced it Wenker

I think you'll all find Heidi was calling him a "ranker", in the sense of being short for "Sakon, you are a low-ranking driver, and your performances are rank, go back to Superleague Formula or something that's more like your level", but we all know he has pwoblems with his Rs, especially when he is weally slow due to being held up in the wace because Wobert had asked the team to change tyres first and there is a Super Aguwi in fwont of him all the time...

Luckily most people here don't understand German and therefore don't understand just how racist this video actually is. :lol:

That's awesome! Was that during the TT week that year? Or maybe the Manx GP? Either way the driver clearly knows the course! Loved the little swapper he almost had at the first Water Works corner, and he almost span it at the Gooseneck!

Agreed that that is awesome, but only shows the car setting off from Ramsey towards Douglas, over the epic Mountain section (would be scary in that weather). But what I want to know is: did the car make it over Ballaugh Bridge? Could any F1 car make it over there at racing speeds?

He certainly threw that about. Fair play to him. Makes a change, usually F1 cars just creep along smoking their tyres.

They do nowadays because I believe their runs are not timed any more?

Rallycross action

Someone please give Martin Schanche a drive in F1 :lol:

Posted: **21 Dec 2011, 01:32**

Oh, I remember when my biggest childhood hero by far stopped that A-final in 92!

"I felt that the car was in a dangerous position, and if the stewards didn't have the balls to stop it, I had to do it. I mean, if anyone had crashed hard, and burned to death, it would've been a tragedy. I did what I think was the right thing. And no, I wouldn't done it different today"
Or something very close to that did Schanche say in 95.

Oh, in the late 70's or early 80's he ran up to the tower where the speaker (commentator at the race if "speaker" is wrong word) was. Throwed him out of his room, and fired off a tirade against the stewards as harsh as only Schanche could do!

On another note, he is the second most winning rallycross driver of all times, and made rallycross big in Norway, he just had a "bit" of a temper.
He's also done 1 or 2 Le Mans 24hrs, and have a third place in the C2 class at Monza in his homebuild C2-racer.
The man is or was a very smart man when it comes to the technical stuff, and made most of the cars himself, and often struggled a year or two with new cars, but when it worked, he often had the best car of all with the same type (Escort, RS200, RS2000, X-trac Escort or Opel Astra).
Many of the theories Schanche and a guy at Xtrac implented in his rallycross cars in the 80's and early 90's was still used in F1 in the mid 90's.

But, maybe not the best driver...
