And a clip that I'd never seen of Badoer taking himself out of the Monaco GP in 96

He´d have gotten a point for Forti!!!

1986 - ROUND 4 - MONACO I have to say it: Monaco is my fave track of the season!!! Its tight corners and barriers mean you have to drive to your limit and any errors cost you seconds, if not the race. That´s the reason is so interesting to drive for 78 laps enclosed there. I also like it because of ...

Diario As from Spain confirmed the rumours, I´ll do a translation: m MICHELIN WILL COME BACK TO F1 IN 2011 Schumacher, De la Rosa and Sauber came back, and now is Michelin. Ultimately, the F1 World Championship is coming back to 2006 parameters. The french company will announce during April its come...

HRT will get into the points this year; believe me!

I would say:

Virgin: Fuel tank of the year

or some joke with the name of the team and their reliability (my English is not so good to produce half-decent jokes, so I´ll let anybody give it a go at this)

1986 - ROUND 3 - SAN MARINO Qualifying Things got better in a track I like and in fact I decided to use the very same car setup I used the year before. It didn´t work as well due to the lack of speed of the Arrows but I finished 18th this time. On Saturday I decided to go for different setups but no...

1986 - ROUND 2 - SPAIN Qualifying I arrived to Spain with high hopes as I thought a slower track would fit better the Arrows but I was wrong. I used one qualifying tyre set to learn the track in practice so that left me with 1 set for each of the qualifying sessions. In the first one I concentrated ...

1986 - ROUND 1 - BRAZIL I arrived to Brazil with great expectations over the new seasons. We in Arrows only were able to shakedown the car in Imola two weeks before the start of the championship and we were uncertain about our chances this weekend. In first qualifying I wasn´t able to find a good se...

Try Virtual PC from Microsoft: It allows you to create a virtual hard-drive to install any old MS OS: I run Windows 98; Perfect to use Gp2 and all the editors as well. Maybe I'm just technically extremely thick but I can't get this to work either! I've tried Virtual PC 2007 and 2004 (both of which ...

It´s going to rain and Senna and Chandhock are doing a 1-2

and money is exactly what they don't have... But they do have the might of the Whole Spanish Press behind them... Don´t believe so. Only 1 of the main Sports Newspapers support them (Marca), two ignore HRT (El mundo deportivo and Sport) and the other one hates them (As). The rest of the spanish pre...

!!!!!! I love GP2. Shame that, despite my best efforts, including attempting to get it to work on Dosbox, I cannot get it to work on my current PC. I've still got a really old PC hanging around as I've got it loaded up on there and can't bear to be without it available somewhere. Really hassly to g...

Hi there! I open this topic to narrate you about my current adventure in GP2 - A whole F1 career starting in 1984 and ending who knows when -depending on results, that is- My alter ego is the young and promising Chris Dagnall, who enters the circus with 24 years old. Why GP2?? Easy: it has all those...

Me and some friends are now really thinking about buying the car.

So i will keep you all up to date if we buy it.

that´s great! I wouldn´t mind showing my friends an F1 in my garage!

None of you gmaps pedometer people can beat this!

It´s in Madrid

I encourage you to look at the topography of the area. Believe me it´s all but flat! I just don´t know where to place the pits, but probably in avenida complutense.

I get that as the ROTR, I also nominate Sauber´s nosecone, for obvious reason.

Don't mind me, but wouldn't it be wiser to make a new thread than to triple post?

Yeah, sorry about that, I just got excited!

We should do another Awards to those drivers with the most finishes just out of the points in one season. I wonder what the name could be?? For example, in 1994 the award would be shared by Herbert and Frentzen, who managed to finish 3 times each in 7th position In 1995 it would go to Herbert, for ...

I´m just doing the same thing but in GP2 (yes!!), from 1984 onwards -I´ll retire in 1999 the latest, depending on results-. My alter ego, Chris Dagnall, is a bit unreliable -lots of accidents- but not very slow. ATM I´ve just finished 1985 season: 1984 - Osella; 6 points, 17th in the championship. C...
