F1 Pickems 2013
Pickems as usual will start 2 weeks before the first race, which means this year the thread for the Australian Grand Prix will open on the 1st March.
I'm very pleased to announce that there will be a prize this year for the pickems champion!
We've teamed up with Haynes Publishing to offer a fantastic book as prize the winner. Motorsport Greats in Conversation by Simon Taylor. This book presents in-depth interviews with 24 motor sport greats , all characters with a story to tell. The idea was to get them to suggest their favourite pub or restaurant for a good meal and a half-decent bottle, and gently prod them into opening up their memories and opinions with frank and honest insights about themselves, about the people they d known and worked with, and about the people they d raced against. The result is a compelling read, beautifully crafted by one of Britain's top motor sport writers. In it you'll find conversations from Chris Amon, Mario Andretti, Derek Bell, Ross Brawn, David Coulthard, Emerson Fittipaldi, Dario Franchitti, Andy Gree, Dan Gurney, Damon Hill, Christian Horner, Jacky Ickx, Alan Jones, Nigel Mansell, Gordon Murray, Roger Penske, Jo Ramirez, Brian Redman, Keke Rosberg, Roy Salvadori, Jody Scheckter, Hans Stuck, Sid Watkins and Tom Wheatcroft!

Sweet.
One question though:
When does the "Autralian Grand Prix" start?

Moe - Yeah, I never cared much for these foreign cars either."

Jeez N. Jones, seeing you in this thread had me excited for a minute. I thought you'd be trying to garner some more interest in the FGP by one-upping Mark by maybe offering a pair of tickets to this year's USGP or something like that. You know....seeing as the trophy went missing a few years ago.

Really Mr. Jones I think that at this point if you can't at least match Mark with a modest material reward the result will be catastrophic for Anglo-American relations in this forum. Do you really want that on your conscience, do you? tare:
May the forza be with you

Surely Mark wouldn't want to be outdone, by FGP. Whats his next prize bid? This could get interesting by the end of the season.
The winner could end up with an all expense paid trip to the Monaco GP 2014.I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

These posts are great.
I have to admit I have been thinking of a trophy for FGP lately. My only problem is - would anyone trust me if I asked for their home address?" Lady - I'm in an awful dilemma.
Moe - Yeah, I never cared much for these foreign cars either."
A shame it seems there will be no Penmachno.....And if they want a proper sting in the tail, how about linking Alwen & Brenig, as seen on RallyGB in 2018? Might need a road closure, which is why it...
