Grand Prix Rejects

2005 rookie qualifying laps in Melbourne

A lot of Jordan's qualifying laps from that year are on the channel.

Hello there...

How is this thread quiet?

I've always wondered what the Japanese commentary was for the Prost/Senna collision was. It's surprisingly underwhelming.

They almost sound less excited than Murray Walker in this clip. I think this is the first time I didn't feel a rush of adrenaline from watching Japanese motorsport commentary!

Are you guys watching the right part of the video, re: the commentary? Sounds like standard Japanese affair to me!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIX_Y-xW6b8#t=285

I was and I suppose my expectations were too high for such a climactic moment. It didn't stand out as much from the other videos in this thread as I thought it would. It is still a good piece of commentary though!

These videos were uploaded just short of five years ago, so they may have been posted here already.

Fifteen minutes of Olivier Grouillard in action for Osella in 1990: Part 1 and Part 2.

Nice! What a lovely car that Simtek was, and what a shame they just couldn't make the most of it. One of the real "what ifs" of all the reject teams. Most really were finished by the time they packed up. I think Simtek had a lot more to offer had the cards just fallen their way. Same with Onyx actually prior to the team's founders all buggering off.

That is some driving skill there from the legend that is Mimmo.

Grosjeans appearance saved this from being a complete disaster. Ironically, Romain now has a bigger hit than Jacques Villeneuve, Lewis Hamilton and Jaime Alguersuari's musical careers together.
By the way, Formula one is been done before, by Robbie Williams, and that was better, in fact ,that was acceptable.

And before Robbie Williams George Harrison did this.

That's a little bit before my time, so sorry for not knowing that song. But that's actually decent, some good onboard shots.

Look who appeared in a music video? Why it's Jean Pierre Van Rossem, former Onyx team owner, doing what he does best
(this video is actually a joke by a radio station, and yes, it's really him, not a lookalike)

Man, the song should have been called Moneytron.

Wow, this is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. By both, but particularly by Saavedra. What a joke.

Good old WTF1, they always manage to come up with a gem. It seems F1 Rejects isn't the only place where horribly unsuitable cars are pitted against each other in virtual races. However, instead of communist clunkers with a tendency to roll over simulated via rFactor, some Italians caught wind of an old Top Gear piece where Tony Mason sampled Reliant Robin racing, and thought they'd have a go themselves. I'd never heard of Assetto Corsa before, but it certainly has realistic scenery and cars.

Signori, accendente tuoi motori. It's time to see how a load of dangerously unstable three-wheeled fibreglass crimes against motoring fare around Monza. Given that a Robin corners with all the security and precision of a toddler ice skating for the first time, how will they deal with the Rettifilio?

That's not gone well.

For added hilarity (I think the kids call it "kek" these days), make sure The Liquidator is playing in the background. Some of you will know why.

This one's always good for a laugh, especially if you're into sim racing:

I'm sure everyone's done this at least once!

Yes, most often in rally games...

Has anyone ever wondered what he'd be like commentating on golf, snooker, indoor bowls... or chess?

Don't know, but it's fantastic to see that car in action!

Another rare Aurora AFX F1 race has made it's way onto youtube in the last month, more rejects than you can throw a papaya at.

Opening host is someone called Nick Owen, who would be a British Morning TV regular in the 80s and early 90s, and was one of the few who fell for the pranks that Chris Morris' Brass Eye team made, I believe Nick's was the "GEFAFWISP" campaign.

Race commentator Is Andy Marriott who is now a pitlane reporter on the Fox Sports Tus-cuh-cah broadcasts when they're not getting bombarded by tv commercials.

Nick Owen is the sole competent member of our local BBC news team (Midlands Today), so I have a lot of time for him, 'GEFAFWISP' or otherwise!
