Can’t believe there was so little left of the car, 214G but only for a split second!
amazing he’s still breathing and driving today , he was awesome at Goodwood revival this year in the GT40.
Its funny because i think the last few seasons of F1 have been much better than it has been for years , just wish they would have just one compound of slicks … oh and V10s
BTCC all the way for me, but I still watch F1, might actually go to see BTCC next season, first time since the Volvo estates were being used 
I wonder sometimes why I bother watching F1. I am a BTCC and Moto GP fan and that is where the real racing is.
I do enjoy the tech of F1, but in my opinion the processional problem is such an easy one to fix. Simply knock all of the aero on the head, so the cars can follow each other closely and hey presto, close racing.
If it wasn’t for the likes of SKY and the BBC making such good supporting TV programmes, I think it would die a death.
Also, why not use success ballast like in BTCC.
I hate DRS, its just unfair in my opinion.
I don’t mind the different tyre compounds, at least it puts some interest into it.
It is a shame though that all of the overtaking and the interesting bits are manufactured into the sport, rather than being the result of ‘proper’ racing
BTC is ok but they stop for lunch not just tyres .
I now find F1 totally boring , and I would like to stick Vettel’s index finger where the sun doesn’t shine. I agree Moto GP is much more interesting but on Eurosport with Toby Moody & Julian Ryder , NOT the BBC !!
Moto GP is just the F1 of bikes with the best machinery combined with the best riders winning the same , just compare it to a BSB race at Cadwell .
If I were in charge of F1 I’d have:
• Success ballast for the leading two championship contenders - lifted for the last two races.
• Double points in the last race.
• Point for fastest lap
• Standardised brakes, gearbox, ECU and other incidental parts
• As a trade off for above allow more flexibility on engine config
• Allow things like traction control, push to pass, but as an option against lower overall power etc
So glad I posted up my feelings on F1 and delighted it’s provoked such a debate.
I’m fascinated by the cars and I’m with Pesky in finding VSCC, Historics etc more appealing.
V8 Supercars still good value to me, especially at Surfers Paradise.
Used tone an avid viewer of Moto GP but can no long watch as the riders dangle a leg before each country. That simply looks wrong.
British superbikes, World Superbikes far superior.
Can’t agree with that, have too much respect for anyone that can back one of those bikes into a corner, sliding both wheels, at a 60 degree lean angle. Nuts, and they do it lap after lap.
True , not really what I was saying though
Sweet pic from this weekend
That ^^ is a great pic 
Kinda reminds me of this one my mate Tap took when he and I used to do the Elise Trophy photography…
Very cool ^
There was one from the mid engineed series floating around from a wet Oulton Park, with 5 or 6 all in a line very similar. One of yours Ben?
Yes possibly, I seem to recall doing that round. Was that where Gav Kershaw pitched up in that white Cadena car and absolutely demolished everybody there?
Unfortunately Tap in a move quite typical of him deleted the TSU Photo website and therefore the photo record of all those MESC and early LOT rounds…
That’s was the one!! Weirdly nothing around on the net either, except for a DVD from 2005.
Doh!! That wasn’t ideal!
A couple of great pics above
It’s amazing how small the contact patch looks on those bikes
