Grand Prix Rejects

Pieman

The amount of pure rejects and rejectful behaviour in this championship at the moment...this website could sponsor it!

Pieman

Few may remember that Oliver Gavin has driven in more GPs than many of the rejects on here...

I was writing an article earlier and struggled to remember who Timo Glock's last two team-mates in F1 were. That's how much of an impression Virgin/Marussia have made on the sport.

Pieman

A very Brabham-esque move there - expect the team to fold by the end of the season. And possibly repaint their cars pink.

Just been forwarded this article about the designer of the infamous March-based Eifelland - http://www.motorsportmagazine.com/f1/hi ... gn-genius/

That kinda reminds me of a story I read in a book called Grand Prix Sabotuers by Joe Saward. At the first motor race held in Paris, after WW2, IIRC all the cars entered were pre WW2 machines that had been hidden during the war in farmyard barns, etc. Anyway, one of the drivers (can't remember who i...

Rear end failure apparently. Still, though, what the flying bathplug?!?!?! Exactly what I was thinking - that has to be the most bizarre crash I have ever seen. Top four of Blaney, Cassill, Raines and Gilliland - if the track is damaged and they can't restart we will have the most Reject-tastic res...

A few rejects featured here, including a rare shot of Toshio Suzuki spinning towards the end: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diwMekHmhh0

R.I.P. Kurt.

(This once again proves the theory that things always happen in threes - we recently lost Roberto Mieres and Francois Migault, and now sadly Kurt completes the three.

)

For those who have yet to see it, the wonderful story of Connew at 8W - http://www.forix.com/8w/connew.html

R.I.P. Francois Migault.

Only seven seconds but quite an impressive interruption to a race(it appears to be the 1972 New Lisbon International 6 hours)-maybe there's a longer clip out there somewhere.... m I seem to remember this was the first clip of Best of Havoc - I still have the DVD laying around. I also recognize the ...

This is what happens when you get a whole heap of DAF's together for a race... There's also a few other races, one of which Top Gear would definitely approve of m I think Top Gear already has featured Dutch Reverse Racing... but if they did it was on Old Top Gear, it was the kind of thing Tony Maso...

Nice one JPM - I also had work published in Autosport earlier this year, although nothing as glamorous as MotoGP (it was a report of a Classic Sports Car Club meeting at Anglesey Circuit). Hope your placement leads to bigger things.

More rejects (Bernoldi, Burti, Montagny etc) showing how not to do it in Formula 3.

I only remember Ralph Firman as an F3 driver - battling hard with Oliver Gavin and Warren Hughes in the mid-90s. I never remember seeing him in F1, even though he did a full season with Jordan. Same with Pantano really. I know Kiesa was reasonable in FFord and F3000 (wasn't it him who inherited the ...

No contest - Lewis Hamilton. Driving like he was in a banger race for most of the afternoon - his move on Maldonado was ridiculous.

I agree with this.

1. TV directors - the first Spanish GP for about ten years which has actually been worth watching, and they manage to miss 50% of the action. Worse than useless. 2.

My favourite is short oval stock car and hot rod racing, but I love anything with an engine.

There's a pretty funny old skool racing film currently on Film 4 (in the UK), called Monte Carlo or Bust. I've only just caught the end of it (the bit when they race on the mountain roads in 1930 cars), but it looks awesome. I'm loving the description on the TV guide as it states, "they race t...

I also enjoyed Murray's weary assertion that 'Takagi often gets himself involved in racing accidents'

Did anyone else spot Murray's joke later on about trackside sprinklers being used to spice up the racing? Almost clairvoyancy!

I didn't think any film existed of that thing!

Great find!

It even looks painfully slow, and I love the way that the commentators don't even mention it.

That's because it's spelt Hulkenberg.

Then again I can't talk, as I've just noticed I spelt Schiattarella wrong in my above post.

Pieman

I got 71 on the first go with the new quiz - McNish, Grouillard and Magnussen were among my omissions, and every time I play I forget Pantano and Kiesa largely because I barely remember them being in F1 in the first place.

(Bleu, you've missed one out too - Domenico Schiatterella.)

Am I right in saying that Monteverdi Onyx (one of my favourite past teams because of their 1989 performances) had built a 1991 prototype to run under the Monteverdi name, before they closed down after Hungary. Indeed they did - from the Onyx profile on here: http://www.f1rejects.com/teams/onyx/larg...
