Thankfully I'm a rally fan so my winter break only lasts 6 weeks. Still I can't wait until it's all on, nothing beats sitting down at 12 on a Sunday afternoon safe in the knowledge that you can watch motorsport until 4 or 5 (albeit including what usually turns out to be a weak F1 race) :D
Hi All, I havn't been around for a while due to work commitments and the Earthquake made it impossible to get to some sites, but it seems to be back to normal. I preferred the old style of the forum, but I thimk we will all adjust to the new style soon enough. I also can't wait for the season to get under way, and look forward to chatting with you all about the season as it unfolds. I hope you had a great X-mas and New Years. I will be celebrating the Chinese New Year in February, so there is yet more partying for me soon. Hope you are all well and in good spirit. John
Welcome back, John!
Yeah it's good to see that everyone now looks to have made it over to the new forum, was a bit fearful that we'd lose some folk in the change.
Many of us had got used to the style of the old forum yeah, but in terms of functionality and speed, this one is miles better which is why it was upgraded. We also look to have got rid of the spammers which had started plagueing the old forum - as a Mod I get to see a few extra things to you guys (from up on my cloud :D ) including just how much rubbish we were getting rid of every day from the old forum. And since this new one came in I've not done any tidying up really. Much better!
------------------------
I'm raring for the season to get going, am in my "everything's really open this year" phase, and well looking forward to things starting.
If you haven't seen them before, try and get in front of a TV for the 250s and World Supersport, as well as the main classes - both classes are looking very strong for this season. And the 125s (traditionally my favourite class) will be good too with a changing of the guard and new faces coming to the fore. You can also watch your boys for the Fantasy League.
Also, I hate using the 'C' word as there are other forums for that stuff, but if you have time to watch some Car racing, give GP2 and the Renault World Series a look - GP2 supports Formula 1 and you get to see the bright talents racing fairly, before their talent gets hidden by the machine they're in in F1. They have an aero package that allows overtaking and everything! :p
i like the Alt-S feature for the quick reply in this forum though,
hey why no grid girls :p :,no one following in Matt's footsteps :bigcry: :p :
I will get the grid girls up and running again, as I was one of the ring leaders in the grid girl capers. And just for Jim, I promise no bow wows or horses heads :laugh:
hello. I'm fatman's wife. he convinced me to join to see if i could make a fantasy team that can beat his. I don't know much about racing but really enjoyed going to mugello last year.
That earthquaqe also disturbed our internet connection to access international site, until now it hasn't got fully recovered, so for a while we can only play local site.
Btw welcome back John, and eliser welcome to forum and try to post more about racing or anything. If you feel enjoy watching the race live at Mugello i think it will not take long time to love motorsport wholly, and always ask Fatman advice for it :)
Welcome to all the newcomers that have joined the forum, glad to see numbers re-establishing after the move. Just thought Id bump this thread back up as if used to be the thread of the previous forum :laugh: :) . Anyway, hope everyones well, the seasons racing is not too far away now, cant wait..
Well, we still need this thread, cos any off-topic stuff can go in here without it getting in the way, and it also reminds those of us who've been here a long time of when there was hardly anyone on here and it felt like a bit of ghost town.
Thankfully things are much better now, and it's good to see members old and new posting here, as ever! :)
We're still a bit small compared with some of the other forums, but I think the standards over here are great - I don't have to delete anything!
Slight news this end - I'm doing a karting championship this year, just an indoor thing but should be good to get back into it (I ran my uni karting team and motorsport club when I was there). Will keep you guys posted with how I'm getting on!
