Grand Prix Rejects

Great to see the site back up with new enthusiastic owners! I do give a damn about what happened so I look forward to Jamie's explanation. Suggestions re: the format - Fonst are too narrow, especially usernames (very small) and headings, buttons etc. Not everyone here is in the first flush of youth,...

Excellent podcast. I listened as I tried to break my record for lapping the yard on the lawn tractor..... One F1Rejects Podcast = One acre cut. Really enjoyed the Al Pease tribute. I am wondering if he was at the track when I participated in the very first VARAC meet on my little Ducati. The vintage...

Bingo! I've got the little envelope thingy now. You can now send me a message.

Didn't realize that a PM doesn't really exist on this board!

I've got a copy of Flat Out, Flat Broke here, anyone want it? Just pay shipping cost from Ontario, Canada.... PM me if you want it. First to pay gets it!

Can't load server to watch live. Damnation!

dresda

Thanks for another great podcast, most welcome!

dresda

Very happy to have you back!

dresda

The Red Bull team management for their obvious favouritism towards that sniveling little ratfaced git Vettel.

The stewards for the penalty on Alonso.

dresda

The McLaren team - for leaving a 'bung' in Button's car. They could have at least brought him in during the safety car to remove it.

And, they should paint them day-glo yellow!

dresda

I just have to thank everyone who was involved in the Bahstralaysian Edition, well done!

I look forward to your next one....

At the end there's an option for more videos - there's another video of the car out on the snow-covered Circuit Gilles Villeneuve....

This video of Bruce McLaren explaining Mosport will help those of you who have never been to Mosport understand the elevation changes and the herculean effort that it must have taken to lug a car battery through the infield:

If only you could have heard the squeals of delight I uttered when I noticed that a new F1Reject podcast was online.....Squeeeeeee!

It wouldn't have made a difference.

Not to the result of the Driver's Championship, but certainly it affected the race result. A very careless pass.

I have to take issue with the statement that 'motor racing is dangerous'. I feel much safer on a track that is four times the width of a roadway, where all the vehicles are going in the same direction, where there are flag marshalls in the corners and there's an ambulance at the ready in the pits. T...

Would motorcycles count? I vintage raced a Ducati 350 Desmo and a Dresda Trident for several years, then I had a son and quit riding until he was old enough to drive. At that point I got back into bikes again and I started doing track days on my Ducati 750ss and 800ss. I've got a Triumph TT600 I pla...

I have here five magazines that came out after Senna's death, two are Paris Match, the rest are various publications available here. Anyone interested in these? I'll send them free if shipping is under $10. PM me if you are interested. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3479/3959277626_4dee585ee9.jpg

Great podcast and I particularly enjoyed the spirited discussion on 'Spygate' and whether or not it was race-fixing. After hearing the arguments I have to concur with the site author, Enoch, that there was no guarantee that Alonso was going to win. It was a tactical cheat rather than a sure thing. S...

A member of another forum that I belong to just went to Monza and posted her photos on Flickr

Here's the link to the old track: http://www.flickr.com/photos/xenpix/set ... 285690327/

I did try to pick a slightly girly sounding username, even if it is a motorcycle brand!

Anyway, no offense taken, just wanted to clear up the point

This sort of came to me after playing Beatles Rock Band last night... I asked my boss what he wanted from me,<snip> Thanks so much. You have successfully dislodged ABBA's 'Fernando' which had been rattling around in my brain for almost two weeks after hearing it in an F1Rejects podcast. I much pref...

I haven't seen any mention anywhere in the reports I've read of Alonso losing credit for that win... Which I'm a bit surprised about.

dresda

I think it would be interesting to compile the same stats for say, 1992....

The average gap between first and second on the grid would probably have been about 1.84 seconds that season.

dresda

I think they did it to make the Renault look good and stop Alonso from leaving in disgust at the end of 2008.

Now he'll leave in disgust at the end of 2009...

Agreed. Its like the current 'Triumph' motorcycle. Just a marketing exercise.

(I've owned a real Triumph and I have a newer 'Triumph'. Good bikes, just not the real thing.)

dresda

Well! I forgot to record the practice session, so I'll get it tonight. This I have to see! Another first time winner perhaps? We can only hope!

What a WEIRD season this is.

Please, tell me, it must have rained during the second session, right?

Many Blue Flags wrote:That's an idea. Why not have no kerbs at the start, which pop up after lap three or so? We could go further and have movable bumps lap after lap if you do cut the chicane.

I've always liked the idea of sprinklers all around the track that come on randomly during the race.

Dresda's predictions: 1. Fisichella 2. Button 3. Barrichello 4. Webber 5. Vettel 6. Alonso 7. Kovalainen 8. Kubica Pole. Fisichella Fastest Lap. Fisichella First Retirement. Raikkonen (and it'll happen in that stupid chichane) ROTR (Can be any driver or team). Alguersuari (but if something other tha...

So its not just me then! That's good to know. I've been working my way through the past seasons while knitting in the evenings. I'm reaching the end of 2006.
