A Tribute to the Heroic Failures of GP Racing - at Goodwood

[MinardiFan95]

It seems that we aren't the only people celebrating the heroic failures of Grand Prix racing, as for this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed a new class known as "Flat Broke but Fearless" has been introduced for the hillclimb - a class just for cars from teams that either had a profile on F1 Rejects, deserved a profile on F1 Rejects or were heroic underdogs that managed to 'unrejectify' themselves.

Entrants in this class include a pair of LEC CRP1s, the 6 wheeled March 2-4-0, an Amon AF101, the unraced Tecno E371, a Coloni C3, the Minardi M189 that Pierluigi Martini lead a lap at Estoril in, a Simtek S951, a Pacific PR02 and last but not least, the reject favourite - the worst F1 car of all time - the Life L190.

This is awesome, but some numbskull has scheduled the Festival of Speed to clash with Formula E

Well, some reject appreciation there. (Eye roll smiley we used to have)

I miss the old smileys
See? It's just not the same.
This looks more like a laughing face than a smiling one to me, more so than this
This has taken on a completely different meaning and is especially confusing when browsing through old threads.
This , which replaced what UgncreativeUsergname was looking for, doesn't have the same impact.
I'm also not big on this Definitely preferred the old one.
Having said that, though, I love this , this, , this and this

The smiley list will not be complete until Psyduck is added.

And possibly Negative Man too.

One car in particular appears to be missing from that list that ought to be there in my opinion - the MasterCard Lola T97/30 (or even the T95/30...).

Hmmmm... I might have to rethink Formula E and go to Goodwood instead.

I love the fact that, even when it is only trying to undertake a demo run, they are having to tow the L190 along the course...
