Join RoLFS: pick one or two drivers (one car entries are possible as well), an engine (at the moment there's only one manufacturer left for grabs, so...), a tyre supplier, use up all your credits to car upgrades and tell me what kind of livery you want. After that you can pretty much forget about it for the rest of the season, unless you win enough credits to afford new upgrades.

Somehow. Personally I insists that most threads should be on topic on mosts cases.

Oh dear... isn't that an advertisement for RoLFS?
Yeah, I'm shamelessly promoting my series whenever there's even a slight chance to do so!

*looks at group B*
Mother of all that is holy, this will be some tournament. How Poland/Ukraine got to host though is a mystery.
Hopefully Portugal can take strength from his history since the naughties against the Netherlands. 3 wins and a draw on official matches. And having a better result against Denmark in the aggregate of the two qualifying matches played in the run to Euro 2012. Anyway, it is a very strong group and everybody has good chances of coming through.

I have to disagree with DanielPT on two points, one is at least F1-related (though not thread-related ):
1. Unfortunately, there are people watching F1 whose hate for some drivers/teams is stronger than their support to others, I happen to know a couple of them. 2. England won't qualify from its group to the QFs.
And I just read a great, though short book:

Damnation! But I have to ask, do they really see F1/support a driver/team just to see another fail?

I guess we will see about that. Not that long now.

That's not fair to Mikko. The situation was different. If Ford Europe had pulled the plug on the WRC programme M-Sport would have no more works backing and probably have to scale back their operation. Citroen was a safe bet. When he made the switch, Ford still hadn't renewed their contract with M-Sport for next season, and didn't do so until the very very end of 2011. While it does mean he'll be Loeb's whipping boy now, he never had what it took to beat him anyway.

Guaranteed success, with our expertice in flat V-12 engines, allowing our unit to have as much power as a V-12 but to be as compact and small as a V-8.

And the lad would have won a race if not a for a technicality. Granted that Loeb had retired at that point, but that is a minor detail...
