It's astonising he managed to keep that wretched thing on the track let alone set a time within 3 seconds of the eventual pole position.

Part of the MotorsTV review of the 1976 season. Usually concentrates on action of the main contenders (a given in that sort of season), but there are some rejectful glimpses:

17:33 - Larry Perkins
20:30 - Alex Ribeiro
22:40 - Noritake Takahara on track (just) and at 22:50 in the pits, with what seems to be all 4 members of the Kojima team.

Plus, at 23:11 we get a cameo from Masami Kuwashima!

Future F1 Reject, Eric van de Poele, crashes at Enna in F3000, 1989. His crash is not the reason to watch, though, it's what happens afterwards...

With the way that the brick was laid out, with its air intakes right at the extremities, would I be right in thinking that there's no way the 1990 Coloni could ever have run with the "conventional" airbox that all the other cars that competed that year (with the exception of the outgoing Benetton B189 for a couple of races at the start of the season) did?*

* ye gods, it didn't half take a lot of digging to confirm that. I know the AGS JH23B, the carry-over of the 1988 model into 1989, had no airbox, and the 1990 flat-topped JH25 did, but trying to find pictures of the JH24 that only ever qualified once in Yannick Dalmas' hands at Interlagos in 1990 (its last ever race...) was a trial. Forix turned up nothing, which usually has every car ever raced on it in every livery... some obscure sites came up with the goods, though.
http://www.statsf1.com/fr/ags-jh24.aspx
http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGS_JH24 (why is there a Russian page for the JH24, but no English page?)
One rather less obscure site... why didn't I look here first? Eh?
http://www.f1rejects.com/drivers/dalmas/biography.html
A very rare shot of the JH24 in 1989:
http://www.allf1.info/teams/ags.php
Catastrophic failure:
http://free.pages.at/epona/ags-jh24-ford-v8-1989.jpg - that's quite obviously a JH23B, given that it's Smokin' Jo driving it, who left the team before the JH24 was launched...

[strike]How about a profile of Joachim Winkelhock for this site? I've never forgotten Murray Walker getting very excited about his driving as he and his Schnitzer BMW team blitzed the BTCC in 1993.[/strike] EDIT: Never mind, I see he's already profiled...

Ye gods. Since my last post (eight hours ago) I've spent that time trawling this thread for all the many and varied pieces of rejectfulness (even though quite a few have now gone astray). And here's a question I've wanted answered for 21 years...

ADx_Wales wrote:Its not footage of a reject driver, its footage of probably a bit of reject music

I miss it.

The old BBC grid music has a real name! Ta very much for that. Now, your next challenge is to find the name and composer of the music that replaced this grid theme tune; I'm talking about the one that started in 1993, namely:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpRYZbm86tA

While scouring Youtube for this (using searches such as "1993 bbc formula 1", for instance) I came across the programme that Murray Walker presented as a tribute to James Hunt, after he had just died. I am going to watch this again right now, after seeing The Shunt have a few fights on this thread (and being one of the stars of my Microprose Grand Prix F1 Rejects Series on the PMcC forum).

It reminds me, in a strange way, of being a first year undergrad. The chemistry department at Cambridge has the largest lecture theatre anywhere in the UK - it's more like the Albert Hall with revolving blackboards at the back. During the course on thermodynamics, not exactly the most inspiring of subjects, some students had taken to throwing paper aeroplanes at the hapless lecturer. Most landed in the crowd somewhere. One, which I think was one of those "perfect gliders" (not just your usual fold-it-a-few-times jobs), flew so well that it caught the attention of everyone in the cavernous lecture theatre, as it glided gracefully downwards, and made a perfect landing that a 747 pilot would be proud of on the OHP as the lecturer was writing on it. You could try throwing that plane a thousand times again from the same spot (quite a way back) and it would never land anywhere near the OHP ever again. I think that's probably the highlight of my entire first degree.

And that is pretty much the only thing the Canberra street circuit is remembered for.

As I have written on the Reject birthday thread (even though it's not a birthday), today marks exactly 20 years since Pedro Matos Chaves first drove a Formula 1 car competitively. It was a pathetic Coloni C4, and I think we all know how that turned out.

Here's the man himself, many years later, driving a Renaultsport Mégane RS.

And if anyone finds any footage of Pedro driving the Coloni, slow it down and superimpose it over this soundtrack... and you know the bit I mean. It's at about 2:19... I think I know now why our favourite Portuguese reject is almost always referred to with his middle name intact.

I also want to remind you all of this video that Aerond posted earlier in the thread, even though this car was originally driven (to equally minimal effect) by Pedro's replacement, Naoki Hattori.

Aerond wrote:Coloni 1991 revival...

You can see how primitive the cockpits look even compared to cars of its era!

You know what sparked this? I saw a couple of bottles of Mateus Rosé in the wine aisle while wandering through Sainsbury's earlier today, and I immediately thought of Pedro, and how sometime this month it would be the 20th anniversary of his first drive in the Coloni. I looked on Forix and it turned out to be today. I had to make the post.

The first clip of this 1991 crash compilation shows Pedro Chaves crashing his Coloni - aptly enough, at Phoenix, exactly 20 years ago. It was the first corner of his first ever F1 out-lap.

The temptation to make the Chaves/Chaves video is definitely there...

Here is an incomplete list of all the accidents Petrov had during 2010:
China
Spain
Monaco
Canada
Belgium
Japan
Korea
Brazil

Now I personally believe that Petrov could be Russia's first grand prix winner given the right car but still that is a trail of destruction Andrea de Cesaris would be proud of.

I've got an idea spinning through my head... compile the Petrov incidents into one video, with the Tetris music playing in the background, and every time he crashes, make the noise that happens when a line is completed.

Trying to make a single video of all Andrea de Cesaris' crashes, on the other hand, would break the internet. So I don't suggest it.
