It also got stuck under Chandhok's car for close to half a lap.

I was wondering how it managed to make its way down the hill and into the tunnel from the top of the track.

Me for bothering to stay up after 1am to watch the thing.

Bring on the Pripyat street circuit!

It's funny you should say that.
Check out this onboard clip from the 1:09 mark onwards.

The future is here! Flying cars!

Bort

Mosport instead of Montreal in Canada and Brands Hatch instead of Silverstone.

The freakest thing in the 'Ring on a Groundeffect car, on one of the small straights close to the beginning of the lap, there is a small hill the car goes over. It's a real booby trap that hill, because unless you lift on it (It being a straight, its very counter-intuitive), your car tries to emula...

Having watched that video, I still just can't get over the fact that F1 cars raced there merely 35 years ago. It seems to me almost like another world. Nowadays, we have Bahrain I've been considering starting up a multiplayer server and hosting games of modern day F1 cars racing on classic era circ...

Makes me want to get onto rFactor and race a full length race with no driver aids.
I am boring like that.

Bort

Hrmmm,... the podcast RSS feed didn't update with this new podcast.

Bort

There are quite a few of these threads popping up is the Deletraz forum, so I have decided to start one myself using rFactor (RFT2009 mod). I will be replacing Fisichella at Force India. I have not decided on the tracks I will use yet, but the tracks must not have been on the F1 calendar for the pa...

The Nordschleife.

Wacky!

Bort

Jeez mate! You had the whole off-season to have a break!

Robert Pattinson and Justin Bieber?

I wish.

Bort

It isn't. I see you failed to detect the tone of my message. Seriously these forums can be worse than a bunch of 14 year old schoolgirls arguing over whether Robert Pattinson or Justin Bieber is the hottest. The truth is they both suck, but that won't stop circular fighting going on into infinite a...

Bort

Best thread ever.

Bort

The Sound Engineer For not letting us hear the pit-to-car radios for the majority of the race. Or is that too petty? I was confused by that because here in Australia we were getting the radio transmissions. At one point we were listening to the racing engineer talking and Jonathan Legard started ta...

Bort

The Australian commentary team should get an honorary award.

Bort

Good lord the most painful part of the broadcast was when we actually lost the BBC audio feed because that meant Greg Rust would come on and just show us all how horribly unqualified for his job he is. "The cars are driving... uhhh.... fast.... around the .... circuit." *screen caption sho...

Bort

BUT ... Ten/One's "man on the ground" this year is no longer Peter Windsor, but James Allen !!! He is working exclusively for Ten/One now? If so, hopefully he will keep his rabid pro-British driver ravings to a minimum so as to not alienate his audience even more than he already has by si...

Bort

The Australian commentary consisting of Greg Rust and Cameron McConville is fairly rubbish. Before and after the ad breaks they try to do a bit of the commentary themselves, which is usually just an update of where Mark Webber is placed and some information on what happened during the ad break (whi...

Bort

Tom Walkinshaw needs to come back to F1.

Spa-Francorchamps is a boring track now.

Bort

So when is #3 due?

Aim for a son this time. Heinz-Harald is a lovely name.

Bort

I was 12 years old.
Probably in bed asleep here in Australia while the race was on.

I am now 30 years old, and all of the young ruffians on this board frighten and confuse me.

Bort

I don't see a problem with the clips being available on youtube, although for the ones involving driver deaths it would be nice if the submitters of the clips either turned off comments or at least moderated them as people do tend to enjoy trolling those kinds of clips.

Bort

OK, time for a confession. Back in those days we both created rival non-FIA Formula One series. I called mine the "International Grand Prix Circuit Championship" or "IGPCC" and Kuwashima called his the "International Formula One Championship" or "IFOC". We dr...

I've been to a few meets like that, and they've been fine.

Bort

A youtube video after every four or so races with clips of rejectory with commentary would be pretty awesome.
Or just an end of season youtube video wrap-up with all the best bits in it.

Bort

Now that the precendent has been set, it will only be days before Heinz Harald-Frentzen announces his return to F1.

Great website! Thank you for putting it together.

Another source: http://www.formula1blog.com/2009/12/12/schumacher-agrees-to-one-year-mercedes-deal/

Just type Schumacher into google and hit the news button. It is not just a tiny little made-up conspiracy theory though.

This will bring back the viewing figures at least.

Of the current GP tracks only Silverstone, Monaco, Spa and Monza fit the bill in my view, with maybe Interlagos as well. The problem is that only two of those - Spa and Interlagos often produce good races, and even then rain is usually a factor. The Albert Park circuit in Melbourne hosted races bac...

So you don't recommend Grand Prix Challenge?

Haha I most definitely do, however I don't own a PS2 so cannot play my own game.
As a side-note, I saw a copy of GPC for sale at EB Games in Blackburn North Shopping centre for $9.95

Grand Prix Legends and rFactor are my games of choice.

You obviously never played Grand Prix Challenge.

There is still time, damnit.

Too many slow corners by the look of it.
I love the pack being compacted in a heavy hairpin corner maybe once a lap, not EVERY DAMNED corner.

Murray Walkers book is a fantastic read.
