F1 Rejects at TV Tropes
I was having a look through TV Tropes this evening looking up narrative themes that crop up in video games (despite the site name, at least 70% of the examples used aren't actually TV shows) and stumbled on a page about Formula 1. Given that most of the TV examples seem to be sci-fi, fantasy or at the very least fictional, I was surprised. So you can imagine my amazement when I saw the following sentence at the end of the summary section:
"There is a website dedicated to covering the F1 moments, drivers, and teams that were all So Bad Its Horrible. It can be found here."
And where did the here go? To F1 Rejects' home page!
The only site providers to be mentioned on there are ITV and the BBC, and neither got a direct link. Perhaps Wikipedia should rethink its idea of F1 Rejects not having notability...

I noticed it too, a few weeks ago. We were the most referenced and hinted at site in the whole entry!

Some brilliant phrases on there:
Is "playing a practical joke" what PK Jnr. thought he was doing at Singapore turn 17?
Most of the commercial dealings are controlled by a billionaire short bloke with a mop top haircut called Bernie Ecclestone.
The current champion is Jenson Button, driving for Brawn GP, a Briton whose girlfriend (as the papers never hesitate to point out) models lingerie.
Nelson Piquet, Brazilian 3-time champion- known for playing practical jokes.

Currently there is something that you might call if you were a headline writer "Fota Lota Botha",
technical rule changes are often a cue for fans to say They Changed It Now It Sucks.
Other famous tracks still in use are Monza (Italy), Silverstone/Donnington if they sort the issues/Silverstone again (UK),

Must admit I didn't really know it myself, but knew she was Japanese/of Japanese descent...

The best F1 joker will always be Gerhard Berger. Nelson Piquet is just a hood by comparison.

If you look in a dictionary, you'll see the second definition for 'awesome' is Gerhard Berger, just below HWNSNBM...

Well, Formula One is so weird, unpredictable, fantastical and on occasion dumb, that it's almost the same as fiction anyway.

That's got to be the most realistic spambot yet. For a second I almost thought it was human (albeit a rather unintelligent one, but still, I've seen people post even worse stuff on the internet than that).

It's a spammer. Just look at his/her/its sig.
