Fortunately I have the option of watching either thru Fox Sports or Channel 10, fair to say the 'back' button is pretty worn out. I did mainly watch the fox feed, however what I did see during C10 was pretty good with Webber's insight being an obvious highlight. However, the extra features by the fo...

I have PAY TV so for sure its good for me, what I don't understand is why all races are not on free to air.

Ok, take qualifying and all that but al least bare minimum have races on live.

What also surprises me that there will be a full replay, but like at times almost 24 hrs after the race!

David AGS

Nice! I have the 99T as one of mine to do next, currently resurrecting an old partially ruined B192 from when I first started out. The 99T I'm hoping will be fairly straightforward - just throw the chrome yellow over it and chuck the decals on! Mine has tobacco ones with it as well - I think we mus...

Also, could have been you can buy the club for a small fee, but for your info, the club is 200m in debt.

Who remembers that I build F1 kits? No it's okay, I too sometimes forget that I do! I've recently completed two 1:24 scale models, a Larousse Lola LC90 (Suzuki's of course) and a Ferrari 156/85 (Alboreto's). They're not 1:43 as the thread title suggests but I've posted my exploits in here before so...

David AGS

Haven't been on a while (again) but here goes... The Gunners look to be going ok, but a poor game vs Monaco has just about ended another season of no success in Europe. Call me bias, but I think we were a good chance of going far, with team playing well, and a few key players almost or just being fi...

David AGS

No worries Mario.

I know you know your info!

David AGS

Clearly I need a bit of work though. Defo have a DNQ to my name! I was not aware that Minardi actually tested and ran the Alfa Romeo, but there goes. What I have read that a contract was signed and chassis was designed. On that, Ive got an old book 'A-Z of Formula Racing cars from 1945-1990', by Dav...

Final standings of the Minardi quiz championship:

1. Simtek 31.5

2. Bleu 29

3. W12 27.5

4. Ataxia 25

5. Super Aguri 17.5

Thanks, apologies for the stuff up in the questions, and will attempt to do another one soon! (That is a quiz..)

Happy New Year to all!

David AGS

Seasons greetings all! Answers: Before I reveal, I made two errors in question 18 and 19. For 18 the year was meant to be the 2000 season (not 2002). For Q19, there were more than 2 drivers at Minardi Team USA. To ensure fairness, no points for Q18, and a point for every Champ Car driver names. Apo...

David AGS

It looks like it might be Pardew!

Didn't he a couple years ago sign a whopping 8 year contract!!!!

Looks too that Pulis may go to West Bromich who sacked Alan Irvine. Still puzzled why they signed Irvine in the first place. Very good with youth setup, but apart from that has been poor in the past.

David AGS

Seasons greetings all! Going to throw my hat into the ring, and do a Minardi quiz for you lot. Id say most of you will get them correct, but here goes! 1. What engine did Minardi originally design its chassis around for their debut season in 1985? (1 point) 2. Name 2 of the teams sponsors from that...

I like all Minardi liveries, the 1998-1999 cars look cool. The blue and silver (grey?) merged looks fine. http://igonta.fc2web.com/1998/photo/Tuero.jpg http://www.philstott.force9.co.uk/Resources/_clear.gif Also, in my opinion the Arrows A20 (1999) car looks good. A mainly plain black with orange Re...

I'm guessing not many outside of Australia would have heard of Western Sydney Wanderers, but they played Cruz Azul in the club world cup a couple of days ago, the winner getting a dream encounter against Real Madrid. Never have I seen such a farce of a match. First of all it was played on a pitch t...

David AGS

He would be in the rare books of scoring a podium on debut! Now, as discussed, apologies if done before! What if Ford built and ran the V-12 in 1992 as the team confirmed? What would happen if Pedro Diniz stayed at Forti for 1996? (Had a 3 year deal with the team) In 1999, (Headline) Arrows opt for ...

David AGS

Im back (again) Still not sure what to make of the Gunners. They can play some cracking football, but still there are the same obvious flaws that fans have been crying out for ages. Still short a CB. Chambers can play, but still very raw. Mertesacker looks even slower when Kos the Boss not with him....

David AGS

Alexis Sanchez (any relation to Carlos Sanchez from Microprose World Circuit!

) is a Gunner!

Bit bias, but IMO a great signing. Can play in multiple positions, trickery and got leg speed, exactly what I mean

Surely Karthikeyan will be racing for Caterham (if the name still stays the same!) in Germany!

Wouldnt that be great!!!

David AGS

I read somewhere that Bristol Rovers get a certain amount of cash as part of that (Lambert) deal, hopefully that will help your club get back in the league

David AGS

Not a Red Bull fan but so delighted with Danny's win.

The amount of press here about the victory here down under is unbelievable. Pretty much every news service has mentioned it, papers tomorrow (race was 3am on Monday here!) will be similar.

David AGS

(apologies if done before!) What if Tyrrell continued to use Ford customer engines in 1991 instead of the big and heavy Honda V-10 engine On that season, what if Benetton ran Goodyear tyres instead of Pirelli rubber? What if Ford developed and raced the V-12 that they did confirm to race in 1992-199...

David AGS

Pochettino,

well hopefully for Spurs fan he does better than the last Spanish manager. Juande Ramos.

Gees, Gunners fans had some fun at that time. One Day Ramos etc lol

Seems like every player is linked to Arsenal right now. Remy, Manzukic, Fabregas, Aurier, Etoo, and...Balotelli!!!!

David AGS

Agree with Hellas Verona. Many would have tipped them to go straight back down, probably even more so when they signed Toni. But the veteran did very well! Sassuolo did also well, usually always competitive. Actually on 'paper' they have a really good squad. Im sure Parma will want Sansone back thou...

David AGS

Speaking of Belgian Football, (Ive touched on this before!) More than likely, the best GK judged from the Belgian league will be Australia's No.1 in the World Cup. That is Matt Ryan, who is still only 23, but seems to have been around for ever, joining Club Brugge from our league. Also, middle of la...

David AGS

Hold the phone, Parma's hard earnt European Spot for 6th place is on hold, apparently they dont have a certain licence (or havent paid for it!). Thats Serie A for you, always something come up! They have a great manager in Donadoni, but Ghirardi's reputation is so-so. He's known for being a little ...

David AGS

Yay, we have a Spurs fan here! Hold the phone, Parma's hard earnt European Spot for 6th place is on hold, apparently they dont have a certain licence (or havent paid for it!). Thats Serie A for you, always something come up! In terms of rejects, well, I gotta say Manchester United. I know replacing ...

David AGS

Back to fooball/soccer (circle where applicable) A great weekend for me, Arsenal winning the FA Cup. All the BS memes can now stop, and lets all bag Tottenham! Also, delighted that my Serie A side Parma are back in Europe after 10 years, in that period, been relegated, promoted, gone through 10 or s...

David AGS

A very sad day for the sport we love. I was very fortunate to meet Sir Jack around 10 years ago, and will cherish that moment for the rest of my life. Seemed like a terrific person, both on and off the track. Always made time for the fans, and I hope his achievements will be more recognised in Austr...

Arsenal's drought finally broken. The FA Cup is ours!

David AGS

Ah yes, I remember many of these. Back when I was in primary school, I used to like Man City's kit and so I kinda followed them for a bit. I also remember the likes of Shaun Goater, who top-scored for City when they got promoted from Division One in 2002. There was also a time in 2004 where the onl...

David AGS

I really do wonder of some chaps have ever heard of Danny Tiatto I think the Roar definitely had an advantage in the last few weeks and in the finals without having to play ACL. Not at all surprised that the Wanderers lost to Sanfrecce Hiroshima earlier in the week. I just can't see how they could ...

David AGS

'Im back!' Bit off left field, Im seeing a lot of Man City and Chelsea clothing a lot more. I just sometimes wonder if they are really fans or they sort of just jumped on the bandwagon of the rich billionaires club, and enjoy immediate success. I really do wonder of some chaps have ever heard of Dan...

David AGS

(Im back!) Interesting topic. Also, Jordan 191 ran a black car in testing, with Jordan logos. I did a 'gooooogle' check for a pic of this but ironically the search took me back to this forum, on another thread which discussed a similar topic!!! http://www.f1rejects.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=...

So this might have been what lead to Minardi's years at the back, with costs getting higher and their budget not getting larger to help support them because of Ferrari? Talk about a farce. Ferrari was only an engine supplier to Minardi, why should they completly restrict Minardi when the costs were...

David AGS

Back to Minardi and engines, according to 'Forza Minardi' (the book), some senior person in the team (cant recall name!) was talking to Ford in regards to a customer works unit for 1991, which eventually ended up at Jordan. But Mr.Minardi was not interested at all and only wanted the Ferrari engine....

David AGS

Its great to have the ASHES back here now lets defend it next series! Seems everyone is back on the bandwagon which is great for the sport. Now lets make 'BOOF' Lehmann PM now thanks. The English, not sure to be honest. Maybe they were over confident, who knows. What surprises me is the lack of form...

David AGS

watka, both sides look good. So far England do not like taking 20 wickets, so Prior at six would make sense, and made a 50 in his last innings so may have found his form back, guess the only issue is the top 4 haven't really fired, so Bresnan at 7 don't look good! Very interesting which way they go,...

David AGS

I just put in a late lap (entry) for the 90s quiz, just before the flag dropped in pre-qualifying

David AGS

They could have received a little bit more cash, and obviously would have been the first 'new team' to score points.

And, oh 'cbbcisace' will be happy, hes the passionate HRT fan!
