I don't think that it has anything to do with F1 being "Too European" but has more to do with the lack of a larger than life American driver who is successful in the series. Exactly. That alone is a reason why its not popular in US, and also why it hasn't been as popular as it is now in m...

And has the most spectacular racefinish ever to his name:

83 was the worst ever year design-wise until 07-08. Almost all eyes were at first basically 82 cars with shortened sidepods and then just.. ugly

There's not been a death in motorsports (that I follow) since I've been a fan. Then you either haven't been following long enough or aren't following widely enough. There has been suprisingly many fatalities in top-tier motoracing even in the recent years. Dale Earnhardt in NASCAR died 2001, Greg M...

Yep, the whole 1983 season if i recall correctly.

But yes, it was ugly as bathplug, looks more like a cast-iron Hotwheels car than an F1

Also, to be in the spirit of Rejectdom, the car should feature the following things: - No sidepods a la Ligier JS23 - Periscope mirrors a la Eifelland - Midwing a la McLaren MP4/10 - viking horns a la McLaren MP4-20 - Periscope Airbox on the rear a la AGS JH22 - Ironingboard front wing a la March 71...

I'm surprised nobody has named the OTHER Ligier-car that was ugly as hell.

The sidepodless 1983 JS21:


Seriously, thats ugly.

Also, Don't forget to fit the car with Wet Weather tires even though its bone dry

If I Recall correctly, It wasnt, and was banned after the first practice. Or something similar

I got a dead ringer for you guys:
Barack Obama as Lewis Hamilton.


Now THATS a dead ringer.
Ande Besides, Obama is one helluva actor anyway (:P)

And the 1994 Jordan meets Canada92March: http://www.f1wolf.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/1994-minardi.jpeg thats actually the 1994 minardi Yes, I am aware. The "Jordan Meets Canada92March" was a "description" of how I thought of the livery, much like i called the one above it &...

Two liveries that deserve a mention, both from the team that is the true embodiment of Reject but isnt, Minardi. The 2000 Fortiesque livery http://minardi.fatal.ru/history/Mazzacane_Gene2000Sepang.jpg And the 1994 Jordan meets Canada92March: http://www.f1wolf.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/1994-mina...

You can cry for the V10's and V12's all you want, I am still mourning the departure of the greatest engines of all time, The Turbocharged V6's of the Eighties. The Sound of The Tag Porsches, The BMW, The Ferraris and the Hondas are something I regret I could never experience live. (Living In Finland...

I would love to have BOTH of the spanish borefests cancelled.

no, seriously, neither Circuit de Catalunya nor Valencia are fit to host F1 imo.

Had to register just to post here after a long lurking. Personally I'd love to see a 20-race calendar with a clear split of 5 races on the western hemisphere (Americas), 10 on Europe and 5 on the eastern hemishpere (Asia/Australia), with the calendar looking like this: 1: Brazilian Grand Prix (Inter...
