I predict that the $16 mil settlement goes to a Manor F1 ride. Why do you think that the 2nd Manor driver that they hired a week before the race is NOT A PAY DRIVER. Just a thought.

DSmith, apologies, u jes said you were disappointed watching and wished for more comp ...... I see, that would be good ........ on the Allman thing .....my wife doesn't like music and she's out of town, so the Allman thing was me enjoying probabably my last music jag of the year ...... for the younger guys, Duane was kind of the backbone of the Allman Bros, union musician that played background guitar for some motown groups in the late sixties, not bad, Macon, Ga, NY, NY .......a friend from Georgia Tech said u got to see these guys, they are great in 69' ....... duane had the accident in 71' I believe, anyway Live From the Fillmore East and Eat a Peach have Duane n Greg, Greg is an organist/pianist/singer and is great as well, Ramblin Man (later) does not have Duane..
I know, too much information, Malayschure (Malaysia) as Hobbs sez kiddingly (the Upper Bodington Kid!!!) Hobbs looked great on the telecast, a lesson for us oldies for sure ........ in a little over a week, on with racing Lads

Seems the more things change the only difference is the people complaining about the changes. Funny how history repeats itself over and over no matter how much people complain!!:greenflag: we should go back to 1/2 the field finishing races and few on the lead lap, that was better racing?
P.S. This was 1970 F1 Racing and I was only 7 years, seems similar to 2015 when I was 51.:confused:
Someone with a small disposable fortune should convert all of the last (and dare I say beautiful) Champ Cars to Supercharged LS6 or 7 Power - add a reasonable good looking designed snorkel, recreate the F5000 series and take it to the F1600/2000/Atl Series, package a Formula Car Weekend Extravaganza and watch the spectators arrive in droves ..............Quote:

I wonder why she hated him so much as to take his money up front, and then just dump him.
I don't think it was hate. She took his money and then took someone else's too.Quote:

The aging population of those, like both of us, who remember F-5000 fondly, is beginning to decline precipitously.
Did I say you presume far too much?

Agree totally. The hype around the self-driving car is yet another step toward motorsports irrelevance. The import tuner crowd, that some think are the savior of US motorsports, doesn't care for NASCAR or IndyCar or any organized racing for the most part. I think they will consider car enthusiasm like Motley Crue--something a young man best outgrows someday.
I keep trying to follow the logic. In the coldest decade of the century, manufacturers want to build highly complex hybrid engines to protect us from "global warming," and use Motorsports to promote their product and stimulate development, then restrict development to the point that you already know who all will win all the races before the season even starts, producing a "show" no one wants to watch, at 500 million dollars per team. I just don't get it. Can we get Rand's F1600 pro series televised? I'm sure it would be more fun to watch, and their would be fewer DNS /DNFs due to engine failure.
The coldest decade of the century? Really?

I hope Manor isn't 'ordered' to show up for Malaysia then not allowed to run again.
"A number of cities had their coldest average temperature for any month on record"
from weather.com. I can't find the source for my previous comment, but then, even I don't want this to devolve into a "global warming" discussion. I'm just saying that I don't understand the logic, but I do understand that it is killing Formula One. I know we can't expect FF style racing routinely, but rules that prevent the competition from catching up, and pre-decided parades, don't hold much interest
The Best Racing on TV all weekend was the Formula E race from Miami and the V8 Supercars from Australia (even thought the race was run the week before).
F1 transport fuels costs are probably several thousands of times the fuel that the race cars use. Let's get real.Quote:

anyway the Aussie fiasco is over can we KILL THIS THREAD lol
V8 supercars is always awesome and I'm pleasantly surprised at how entertaining (and popular) Formula E is turning out to be.Quote:

Going back to Charles's wonderfull image. This is Dave Burnham in a Citroen powered iceracer. I raced almost all of the AMEC events this winter in the street legal studded class driving my daily driver. Dave is one of the long time members of the club and an avid competitor. If you want to have fun in the winter join in. No F1 tech required. I finished 5th in SLS with an old 5 series BMW. Top of the class were Saab's, a Porshe 944 and a Volvo that could beat me on any given day, but he didn't run enough events to beat me in the points.Quote:
