That looks like a fantastic place to visit.

Very cool, I look forward to seeing it

Its a cliche but your health really is the most important thing and you take it for granted until you're unwell.

Weren't the original S1 Motorsport cars central driving? Not sure I've really understood the point of it in a road car, to be honest...I also noticed that in the T50 I hope your very well aquanted with the passenger on your right :lol:


Yes I race one of them, albeit with 400 supercharged honda ...

I guess the point is that with an assisted rack it takes much less effort to stop the wheel tugging as the car follows cambers whereas with an unassisted setup there would be more wrestling with the wheel. I agree that technically it may not be "doing it" more or less, but the effect is more ...

Aren't they the same guys that did Dans bodywork? Edit, yes, I probably should have just clicked on the link

Are GP2 cars doing the whole hybrid thing or are we going to end up with GP2 cars being faster than F1?

Having to coast at the end of the straights because the power is dropping off seems a pretty shitty form of motorsport however you dress it up.


F2 were 15 seconds a lap slower around bahrain ...

Based on my very small sample of one.

On monday morning I went in to Kidderminster hospital to have a small operation on my throat as i've been sounding like i've got a sore throat for several months. I had a camera up my nose a few weeks ago that determined I had something on my vocal chords, not ...

That’s a v6 exige with a body swap, probably the left over radfords after theirs didn’t work

That makes more sense, the story I read said he was born ...

Jesus i've just looked him up, I genuinely thought he was a decade older than me, not 7 years younger. Thats some paper round he must have had :lol:

Never bothered and never felt vulnerable as a result.

Now I have all singing and dancing motorsport insurance its included but it doesn't make me feel any different on track.

Yes most basic principle going, taken to the absolute extreme other end of the scale by the numpties that insist on paint marking every single nut and bolt they ever go near, i'm sure most of them saw it on facebook and think they're professionals now. I've undone some shockingly bad work but it was ...
