    Sad news indeed, condolences to his family & friends. I immediately came here after spotting the short obituary on Autosport, thinking back how nice it was to have Pentti's serene and qualified...

    Seems to me like Tony George has finally grown tired of funding some parts of the IRL out of his own (i.e. IMS's) pocket now that he's won the open-wheel war (by default).

    Quite agree on your Eurosport comments, although their GP2 coverage was far from ideal. Remember that they usually had one of the weekend's two races on Eurosport 2, which, just like Premiere, is a...

    ITV skips Feature

    It does work only for users in the UK – unless you're lucky enough to find an anonymous UK proxy, but those are very hard to come by and quite unreliable anyway. No worries about Friday's feature...

    The term "merger" might be misleading...

    Unless the IRL's safety team were seriously understaffed, which I don't believe to be the case, there'll be little room (or even need) to incorporate the CCWS crews. The writing's unmistakenly on the...

    You must be mistaken, I'm not. Who am I trying to provoke in your eyes? The 25/8 rule, TG's failed vision of the IRL, and CART teams dominating at Indy are all well-documented.


    However the...
  10. Remembering 25/8

    The former Champ Car teams that will be joining the IRL should be glad there are only 24 cars altogether, otherwise the idiot grandson might have to reinstate that good ol' 25/8 rule to keep those...

    The future's so bright you gotta wear blinkers...

    No idea who came up with the "merger" moniker; it's not even a buyout – it's basically just the looting of a corpse that Tony George had a major hand in killing. The Champ Car Series that can be...
  12. Cowards Aren't Racing Today

    Oh please, I can't believe that so many posters really think that the Champ Car Series was doomed from Day 1 of the split because they no longer had the Indy 500. As far as I remember, CART had seven...

    Especially considering that ever since 2002/03/04, the IRL already has had the best of the Champ Car teams in Penske, Team Green, Ganassi, Rahal etc. without significantly improving the IRL's...

    I believe all but the street course races in Long Beach, Edmonton & Surfers Paradise would be gone, while I haven't heard of any IRL races getting the axe.

    Very interesting question!

    Had a quick look through my footage of the 1975 German GP, there seems to have been a total of nine mounted TV cameras that year.
