My idea would be a bit, while not very much, all depending on what "Shannon Racing Team". Something from lower formulas, only for very niche group of people. From F1, it will still be niche, but you have som people here who would be interested, and the F1 collectors. Then again, if it is F...

I also have the whole old site backed up on more than one external drive - missing two driver profiles, and 1 or 2 articles I think. I understand that it is a very nice gesture to not republish any material. However, in the nature of preservation of material that - depending on being historical/inte...

And to follow up from the last poster - how is the progress on "reviving" the old stuff going? I fear that the site will gradually lose it's interest and visitors, if nothing shows up.

Next time I'm down that way, I would love to check those shops out. Can you remember the names and possible addresses of those places? Boutique Formule 1 15 Rue Grimaldi 98000 Monaco (thanks to google maps, and streetview, I walked the streets again ) While the shop in Nice might be close to 21 Rue...

As promised, I took a trip down to the Marussia factory earlier today. Incidentally I also went past Mercedes in Brackley - they have proudly displayed a pretty big board declaring themselves 2014 champions with each win inside a silver wreath, a bit like what JPS used to do on the Lotuses with the...

but at that time was above my spending budget. I cannot recall price, but would love to have that right now! Took a trip to Nice and Monaco this year. Found an two somewhat hidden motorsport shops there. The one in Nice had lot's of Blancpain stuff, the one in Monaco however. That one had lot's of ...

There, misleading thread-title, and I've got you hooked! 3 years ago, someone on this forum found a magnificent, fantastic, overly pornographic picture of Perry McCarthy going through Eau Rouge in the Andrea Moda. It really showed how nice the car was. I was trying to to find that picture today, and...

Well it seems that Mitsubishi's aim is to make money by offering it as a competitive car for privateer teams to buy in WRC2 and in other rally series, so I wouldn't be expecting a triumphant return of Mitsubishi to WRC any time soon. It's a private build, project from Sweden, with Mitsubishi blessi...

While Kubica now actually have to drive from now, until the end of Rally Poland without going off, to get down to 1 crash pr. rally.

Me and a friend was in Sweden with one action camera each. Now, a problem was two completely different qualities and recording settings on the two cameras, which means that there had to be some black bars, which, sucks to be fair. Quite good after the 5min mark anyway! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

Musgrave does train in Norway so I'd expect some performances like this against the B-Squad as it were. The lead Norweigans like Petter Northug would still comfortably beat him though And it does help living in Alaska as a kid As far as I understand, from 5 to 12 yo. Where he decided to be a skiier...

What I wonder about when it comes to the old suits. Which ones would be legal to use today.

If I was to buy any of that - I would actually use it, not just have it.

Thanks for sharing Myrvold, I'm sorry that you've had to go through some tough times. Could've been worse, only got 5-10% permanent damage. And it's only noticeable when I'm nervous or tired - then I struggle to speak. Or if I speak something else than Norwegian. (My brain damage was on the area th...

That's a good (albeit sad) story! Hopefully you'll be able to add some more chapters to it later in life. Do you have records for all of those races or was that all from memory? Kept the old mails and/or letters we sent to sponsors after races in the 2005 and 2006 season. The 2008 incident left a m...

But i had to stop after the 13th race because i had a weird accident (flew up side down in the air because i got launched by a other driver), got the luck that i could release the safety belt, destroyed 2 lowest vertebra's of my back. 6 weeks later i was back in a race, i qualified 7th but recogniz...

My understanding was that Ford withdrew their works supported teams, but are providing a limited amount of support to private customers who are persisting with their cars. It is a bit like BMW's continued provide limited support for privateer teams in the WTCC up until this year for their customer ...

Well, Ford pulled out after 2012. M-Sport was just saved by Qatar money into the 2013 season.

Prodrive did both WRC with Subaru and F1 with BAR from 2001 to the end of 2004. That worked out.

Chardonnet did one race in 2012 with a DS3 WRC, think he ended 10th, right behind Prokop. Now, WRC-2 will get a little boost next year. Paddon with a more serious attempt. Ott Tanak and Jari Ketomaa in the DMACK team. Pontus Tidemand (which I do regard as a massive talent) also going to drive in the...

*sigh* Are there any rally threads anywhere that haven't become a Kubica-circle-jerk? Yes, Kubica impressed massively in his WRC 2 campaign. But with all due respect the WRC 2 guys, the level of competition was nothing but awful. And I have no belief in a driver like Elfyn Evans stepping it up, and ...

What if the old point system was still in use in 2003, so Jordan had ended up 6th and not 9th in the Constructor champ. Would that have changed the fate for the yellow warriors?

Also, I know Myrvold checks this thread sometimes, so, what do you make of Anders Grøndal? I always thought he had some talent but not the money to match it. But I guess you would know more about the Norwegian rallying scene so could elaborate a bit more. If he can find some budget, would he really...

Surprising, as he has no money.

Neither had Varhaug. Neither does Frijns. So I guess Daly never paid either.

Ye. Global Rallycross is not Rallycross, it's a X-games show thingy. Though, ERC have been somewhat "dumbed" with the introduction of the Joker laps, which they have to do twice now it looks like. It'll be interesting to see what ERC can do, with a new promoter, Petter Solberg in the serie...

Like I said, I don't think he's the biggest talent in Norway, but he's the one with the right contacts. And with that, the best shot of any Norwegians atm.
