Good. Let F1 & the IRL fold like the cheap, rat-b$stard suits that run them, or ruin them more like.
Hope more fans take notice, and take action as a result. Seek and enjoy a better product, while taking their money away from those other parasite series, saying "It's been nice knowing ya and all, but hey man, good luck... and I do mean good luck."Last edited by AAReagles; 14th June 2015 at 16:03.

I have to say, the Nissan's reminded me of something from years back, but I actually really liked the design. Interesting concept and quite unlike the top cars.
Hope they persist and improve.
Toyota need to do the same. Reliable but way off the pace.I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

Speaking of reliability. All 8 top cars finishing is insane enough, but without even one of them losing 30 laps or something.
Incredible.I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

Great day for New Zealand motor sport. Earl Bamber 1st, Brendan Hartley second. Only second time a kiwi has won and 1966 doesn't really count, although if that finish had gone to plan Amon would have won anyway,
Add to this Hayden Paddon finishing second in Rally Italy (should have won but for a gearbox issue) a truely memorable weekend for us little kiwis

Greetings to New Zealanders with the 1-2 at today's Le Mans 24 Hrs. Also to Australians, with the 2nd position of Mark Webber.

Had to smile at the BBC. Headline was along the lines of Nico Hulkenberg wins LeMans from Mark Webber - odd headline as Nico didn't drive on his own.
Then there was a subheading like this 'Nico Hulkenberg became the first active Formula 1 driver to win Le Mans for 24 years as he partnered England's Nick Tandy to victory in a Porsche.'
They then gave an account of how Tandy and Hulkenberg drove the race and didn't ever mention Earl Bamber again
Buried in the story was a mention of the other driver. Well done BBC fair and acurate as always.Last edited by anfield5; 15th June 2015 at 01:55.

Typical BBC.
Hulkenberg gets attention as the "star" as they seem to think no one actually watches 24 hours and understands it. Then as you say make it out that he drives on his own.
Oh yes and then make it all about a Brit.
The Kiwi barely did anything noteworthy (Just won Le Mans)I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

So gutted I wasn't able to get there this year. Great race though, not quite as close to the flag as I was hoping, but still brilliant to watch.
"If in doubt... flat out!"
Did Jan Solans get 3 points for his 8th place at the end of saturday? Wikipedia and WRC site shows he didn't, eWRC shows he did.
