After last year's success, 2011 brings another edition of this award. It gives points to every driver who retires from a race with crashes, spins or off-road excursions.

Pesenti as a second surname?

Is he related to Alessandro Pesenti-Rossi?

Julian Cope ftw He'd get invited, play some three or four songs about the divinity of Odin getting drunk in the Kingdom of Chaos and then he would do about two hours of interlude when he could enlighten us about the connection between motor racing, crop circles and the ancient megalithic formations....

With the possible arrival of new teams in F1 to replace poor Virgin and HRT, thought I'd paint some new possible liveries Starting with everybody's favourite: STEFAN GP http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/3904/stefanq.png ...and everybody's second favourite: USF1 http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/95...

Didn't watch the race, but it seems it was a wreckfest.... apparently Simona De Silvestro finished 4th and Sato 5th, which automatically makes the race epic.

Man, that Ligier looks fantastic! BTW, does the XTC logo on Schiattarella's Simtek have anything to do with the band of the same name? how do you mean band ? like the party drug xtc ? as far as i know the "XTC" on the wing was in that time a energy drink like redbull. XTC was a pop rock g...

I've just received this telegram and it is with supreme delight that I rejoyce at the sole thought of the flag of the Italian Empire flag waving in the Pirenaic Regions! The GP of Pau has been held on February the 24th. Not valid for the European Championship, but of capital importance nonetheless. ...

He competed for some time in GT Fia with a Viper in the early 2000's, I think he might have won a championship.

:) have fun driving on it... feedback appreciated of course If you are wondering why I didn't post any feedback - I only realized after downoading, that this wasn't an rFactor track by design.

I'm remotely related to the 70's motorcycle champion Walter Villa, who won three times the 250cc World Championship and the 350cc Class once I seem to remember he was related in some ways with my grandmother, but I need to ask her because I don't remember exactly what kind of relation it was. I'm pr...

young teachers with interest in sports = best classes ever

I fondly remember sports discussions with my math teacher, who just gave instructions to a girl at the blackboard and then went to chat with us in the back of the classroom.

I can't be bothered to post pics from a race in which I was so horrible... I spun out of the fourth corner in the first lap... horrible. Here are the results.

The season started in China, at the modern Zhuhai Circuit. Its location is pictoresque because it's surrounded by rice fields... in qualifying, Lamborghini star Jean Denis Deletraz spun out of the track and ruined one years' harvest for those poor rice cultivators, but that's another story.

My proposal would be for the FIA (or FOTA, it's all the same) to organize collective testing sessions for every team, with a limited mileage allotted for each test. If any team is in monetary troubles the FIA (or FOTA) could help those teams lending them some money for them to participate in the se...
