Grand Prix Rejects

Hamilton wins.

simonracer

That's it for Verstappen. 12 cars left.

simonracer

Well that was one of the worst starts I've ever seen anywhere at the start of race 4. What a farce.

I blame that completely on the acceleration zone. I really do not understand why on earth they still have that after what happened at Adelaide last year. It just causes problems.

simonracer

Bleh.

simonracer

Those were two at least remotely good races, and the second of the two was pretty good.

UPGRADES
1 overall drag reduction (300 AUD)
1 wing drag reduction (350 AUD)
1 engine power upgrade (350 AUD)

simonracer

In fairness, Mostert did cut across on him. And maybe Whincup was past the b-pillar.

simonracer

After seeing the replay the second time it didn't look anywhere near as bad. It still looked like he could have backed off a bit though.

simonracer

Great job guys!

simonracer

Good racing at Adelaide.

Also that was terrible driving by Whincup on the final lap there.

simonracer

I decided it was time for an avatar change.

simonracer

Son of a gun.

Oh, I misread it. I was wondering why the figure was so high

I'll take 2 mass reductions, thanks.

simonracer

HURT Racing will make these upgrades:
1 mass reduction (1400 AUD)

simonracer

Nothing beats a win, but 2nd is the best result we've had this year, so I'll take it.

I was just having a look at this yesterday. I found a guy called Lou Volk, an American. He was a successful midget racer in the pre-war years, who later went on to run 2 NASCAR races in its first three seasons. He was born in 1910, but apparently is still alive. I say apparently, because when Lloyd ...

simonracer

RIP Robert. 97 is a hell of an age.

This leaves Stirling Moss as the earliest Formula 1 driver still alive (he is the only driver left from 1951, as far as I can tell.)

Here's a couple of street circuits that would almost certainly never happen in the center of Le Mans (both around 6.5 km): https://www.dropbox.com/s/swvu221rx4ry52d/le%20mans%20pontliere%20layout.JPG?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/z50voj8jdiwucn1/le%20mans%20rue%20du%20circuit%20layout.JPG?dl=0 I ca...

HURT Racing will run the same livery it did in 1995.

simonracer

Bike: #34 David Pabinska (CZE) - KTM, finished 18th last year, and has finished every one of his Dakar attempts. Should score a respectable result. Quad: #291 Sergio Mita (BOL) - Yamaha, in his first entry. I'm not expecting much from him. Car: #428 Jose Perrone Jorge/Ricardo Emillio Bonnazzola (bot...

simonracer

HURT Racing will continue with Sam Pritchard at the helm for 1996. I won't confirm the livery at this stage, although more then likely it will be the same as last years.

simonracer

I'd like to see this continue. Increasing the series to 52 races is a terrible idea though. If anything, perhaps dropping the amount of races is the best idea.

simonracer

I wouldn't be too surprised if he ends up at LDM replacing Ingall, who surely cannot be continuing for another season. In other news, Lee Holdsworth has gone to Charlie Schwerkolt's car and Ash Walsh is replacing him. Also, Super Black Racing has basically been confirmed as entering next year, with ...

Someone choose a Paul Morris avatar for me.

And then #22 promptly did not/was not allowed to compete anyhow.

DALE WOOD DID A THING! And tough deal for Davey Reynolds in qualifying. Forced into the grey by a typically slow Todd Kelly on the racing line. This race should be interesting 2 of the fastest guys in the back of the field. And now 3 of them are at the back of the field, because Mostert was disqual...

simonracer

So, it's the big race this weekend, and Whincup has put it into the fence in qualifying, and will now start from 25th for the race...

simonracer

Now, that's the kind of result we were looking for.

simonracer

DAYTONA COMMENTS The fastest lap was achieved by Sam Pritchard. His team HURT Racing stated to us that they were both disappointed and pleased with the result of his race, which ended after a head-on impact into the end of the pit wall on lap 25. "We qualified well (5th place), and we were hea...
