Good riddence French GP

[cy bais]

And so many commercials! If Fox was serious about expanding the audience they would play all of the races - not just 4 in the middle of the season. A new viewer has no idea what is going on in the larger picture. I may not even bother watching the next 2 on Fox. Thankfully there are kind people on the internet who make the ITV broadcast available for download.

Fox's coverage of F1 sucked at best.

Speedtv's re-airing of the Montreal GP seemed to be lacking the pre-race so I'm not counting on it... Shame they aren't doing the same as previous years by adding a little more post race coverage from the races on the Fox schedule (Guess they figure debrief covers that...)

The speed report is suggesting that the french gp may be back for at least 2 more years (along with indy being on the schedule for next year as well...)

The track is a very nice one to drive around. I never understood all the negative opinions people have about it!

Certainly. The Estoril corner is excellent, and the Imola chicane is by far the best chicane on the calendar.

Don't speak to soon, Mangy Cours will be with us for a little while yet.

I rather enjoyed yesterday's last-ever French GP at Magny-Cours. It was better than last year's last-ever French GP at Magny-Cours. I only hope next year's last-ever French GP at Magny-Cours will be even better

Oh and Mark, did you mean to spell the venue's name like you did in your post?

Actually, we had a great time in the chat room discussing the race as it progressed. There were some very interesting battles throughout - a monumental one between Mark Webber and Alonso: both knew they were racing each other from the word go.

Then there was the battle between Kovi, Kube Man and Jarno. I'm sure pino enjoyed this thoroughly. However, one has to have the benefit of 'Live Timing' to appreciate what was happening on the track. I had my PC on both Live Timing and the Chat Room, and my lap top on the ITV feed.

well thats ok if your that into it but for most of us we want to be entertained without checking lap times etc. The director should be of quality to show the good bits and the commentators to fill us in on who is racing whom.

Great Idea!
Then Mercedes and BMW would still be catching up!
Did you know that WW2 ended 64 years ago?
Get over it.
