F1 - Pre Season Ramblings

[DaveT]

Agree there Adam.

Deadly dull sadly these days.

 

[GransportFan1]

yep it will only get worse as well as the years go by.

 

[ENZ525]

Then dont watch it, watch something else.

 

[GransportFan1]

think i might start watching bowles Enz. It is not just F1, all motor sports have gone down hill a little, MotoGP is the best.

 

[ENZ525]

I love it Adam...(F1 that is, noit bowles)...
could watch it every week,
yes...some races are better than others,
but hey ho...i dont really care.
Agree that MotoGP if fantastic

I second that Enz, a race every week woud be fantastic.

43 days to go...

i think the MotoGP guys are all fearless, i am not saying f1 drivers are pansies but i personally believe the motogp riders have that little bit more fearlessness about them. For example, at Mugello last year Rossi was hitting 204 mph on the finishing straight before hitting the brakes, the closest rider to him was hitting 197, Rossi is god.

Here here......The thing is as in any sport there are dull bits and great bits which is not different to all seasons through out the years....and as you say Enzo, don't watch it if its not for you, but as Andrea has posted am also counting down to the first race and waiting with baited breath for all the unveiling of this years cars.

To say that all motorsprt is boring except motogp is a bit of a statement Adam....I watched loads last year and saw some exciting and great racing...BTCC was brilliant, Australian V8's (mad a s abox of frogs), Dutch supercar challenge, GT1, loads of GT racing in Europe, Lotus Challenge...........to name a few......Can not say that any were boring.....

 

[Andyk]

What I will say thought this was one of my fav F1 cars the Lotus 79...Brilliant and maybe one of the all time greats...

Oh and what a great pic of the 3.0 csl at the bottom...

 

[GransportFan1]

not saying all motorsports are boring, i am saying they re not as good as they were, agree though BTCC was mega last year, went to 4 rounds, Oulton, Croft Snetterton and Thruxton, brilliant. Prefer the BTCC in the 90's era though.

This looks pretty cool...kart racing on ice

 

[GransportFan1]

i would like a go at that.

 

[ENZ525]

I would also like to see how many wheels I could get off the ground

 

[GransportFan1]

all 4 with a bit of luck indoor is fun, i always try and get the front or rear inside wheel of the ground.

 

[ENZ525]

Alonso almost had all four off in that pic

Do you go karting often Adam?

They had two races...not sure who the opposition was, but Alonso won both.

I go about 5-6 times a year with a few friends, one of whom does it professionally.

 

[Andyk]

So you can drive a bit then Adam....DO you ever beat him...
